Lazarus stood outside the home of the rich man, eating the trash and leftovers from the wealthy house.
When the rich man died, he found himself in hell wile Lazarus was in heaven.
What should I say? Was God unfair? Of course not. Everything comes from The Lord, the bad, the good, the joy, the suffering, the plenty, the lacking, health, disease, etc.
Why then some people enjoy a wonderful life on Earth, spoiled with everything, while others nothing?
My answer is not as simple as it appears, for I was born in plenty, without worries; yet I found myself lacking. Now, the most interesting thing is that my story resembles the story of Israel, before it went to captivity under the Babylonians.
I have travelled and I have seen how on some nations I was better than on other nations. I was never super rich as according to today's standards. I cannot compare what I had ever had to the kings and princes of this world, who have so much more. I cannot compare myself to the poorest of the poor, either. Yet, I have noticed the changes in different countries. I have even seen change in those same countries. I have seen the rich loose almost all. I have seen a few poor rescued for the pit. Yet, I have not seen a global change that would turn the tables completely. Nevertheless I have read about those global, national changes.
How long does a nation and a kingdom last? How long will a whole nation be enslaved by another nation? And perhaps the most puzzling question: who is in charge of those changes taking place?
So many people turn to the stars to for tell the changes, and even Jesus, son of Mary, wife of the Holy Spirit, was announced in the celestial bodies. Thus, it appears the creator himself announces via the cosmos, the stars, and the prophets, what is to take place and the changes occurring.
I do not turn to divination, the stars, or those that claim to be prophets, or even the Christ (for there are many), or the prediction of Anglo-Saxon prophets (economists) for an answer. I trust in God. He speaks to us through dreams. I listen. I am grateful for the good and the bad, because both come from The Lord. I trust in him. Even death comes from him, and Jesus is the perfect testimony, for it was the father himself who offered his son, his only son, in sacrifice.
Thus, we just accept whatever comes, for it comes from The Lord.
My mother is going to be called soon, for he already announce to her she is giving her communion. I pray so that she stays longer, but if The Lord has decided it is her time to enjoy the bounty and wealth of his kingdom, I should not be in despair but in joy. For those that suffer the cross of Christ on Earth, will surely enjoy the resurrection of Christ in Heaven. We must accept with gratitude what comes.
You may say: don't we have any power over the things that take place in the world, our our own lives? Well, yes, we can pray. If our prayers are insistent, he might even stop the world and make it travel backwards, inwards. But then again, if such a celestial phenomena were to take place, I guarantee it would have also been written in the heavens.
Can we re-write the heavens and the stars? We could even move mountains, if our faith were but the size of a mustard seed. So, yes, I invite you to help me write creation, for if we are children of God, adopted and elevated by him to the very throne of God's mercy; we can not only resurrect someone who has died. We can, for a fact, change the world.
Pay attention, for the only thing we need is to change the mind of God. Thus, instead of Nissi Dominus, he says amen to our petitions, for he changes his mind, creation itself obeys to his will. And the biggest secret us that through Mary, and Jesus Christ his Son, God himself, we can pray and ask God to change his mind, to give us what we need, what we ask for.
That us the power of prayer for we are co-inheritors with Christ of the Kingdom of God.
If that is so, and it is; it's ok. Don't worry, for everything comes from The Lord, the good, the bad, Creation itself comes from him.
Maranta, come Lord Jesus. We are awaiting. We long to see your kingdom soon. We are all like Lazarus. Take us to the bosom of Abraham, beyond the stars, to your kingdom, where there are no tears or sorrows, but everlasting life. Don't take long in rescuing us from this valley of tears.
