Mankind with Jesus

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice." Paul (Philippians 4:4)

With Jesus mankind rises

From the darkness into the light...

From inertia to service...

From ignorance to wisdom...

From instinct to reason...

From the use of force to righteousness...

From selfishness to fraternity ...

From tyranny to compassion...

From violence to understanding...

From hatred to love...

From deceptive possession to the search for imperishable wealth...

From the bloody conquest to edificating renunciation...

From extortion to justice...

From insensibility to compassion...

From the shallow word to the creative verb...

From monstrosity to beauty...

From vice to virtue...

From disharmony to harmony...

From affliction to contentment...

From the swamp to the mount...

From filth to glory...

My fellow man, my brother, let us rejoice in the redeeming battle!

What an angelic pinnacle we shall be able to reach if we truly consecrate ourselves to the Divine Friend who descended among us and humiliated Himself for us?
