Mercy is that outward appearance of love to the neighbor,
an identification with the one in distress, the intense love of love, starting
from a heart that suffers for those who, at one moment or another, are in
trouble.
This feeling has its source in the love of
God, which can not be conceived without the love of one's neighbor: "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his
brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how
dwelleth the love of God in him?" (I
John 3:17), charity is the concrete manifestation of love, the knowledge of God
in concrete circumstances of life, and" the one who does not love did not
know God, because God is love. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he
is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he
love God whom he hath not seen?"(1 John 4: 8; 20).
The children in our mission are taught by the
infant to have mercy and love the neighbor. For a little while, they donate one
coin for the mission expenses, being so trained with mercy. They are aware that
only being merciful, God will reward their love with other goodies.
They do not know much about God, but their
love for the other brothers and sisters in the mission is burning.
In the context of the
above, please all those who read these written lines and who have the
opportunity to donate a small coin to these poor children, do not hesitate to
make you loved by Christ! God will reward you in earnest! Let's be
merciful and loving the poor man! The poor are a blessing for the
rich! If those who have money and fortune do not think of the poor, then
they are living in vain on this earth! After death, they will have what
they have shown in this life! Lack of God's mercy towards their souls!
