Compassion.... Sick and weak people....

Take care of the sick and the weak, and consider that they are suffering and need your help. You should be compassionate and constantly consider the welfare of these poor people, whose physical afflictions make their life intolerable, you should try to alleviate this suffering and selflessly help them at all times. This is pleasing to God, and since you are all children of God, one shall also be concerned for the other and not allow heartlessness or indifference towards your fellow human being arise in you. How often do people pass by the sick and the weak without offering them a comforting word, it is very depressing for these sufferers. They are helpless in their state and grateful for every word granted by love.... And how often do they have to go without because no considerate word is spoken to them. They are lonely, and their soul is seized by profound sadness, for it hungers for love and is only scantily considered....

And the Lord teaches compassion.... and promises eternal bliss, for compassion presupposes love, and only a labour of love will bring salvation to the soul. Compassion is purest neighbourly love, for it wants to help and expects nothing in return.... A person can be ailing in body as well as in soul.... and bringing him help is always inexpressibly valuable.... speaking words of comfort to the physically weak and offering the psychologically sick and frail the right remedy out of kind-hearted neighbourly love.... For the body’s suffering will come to an end one day but not that of the soul unless it is approached by active neighbourly love bringing it help to escape its adversity.

The weak and ailing person, however, needs twice as much support, for the body’s weakness often also lets the soul descend into helplessness, and it can only be helped by selfless love which, as it were, awakens the soul from its lethargic state and thus stimulates it to take care of improving its condition. Then the human being will also bear his physical suffering with patience, if only the soul has come to the right recognition on account of its fellow human being’s active help which supported it during its adversity.

Any actively compassionate person can bestow untold blessings, for the earthly child will feel this both earthly as well as spiritually, and the thus considered person will have to feel relieved and, on account of the spiritual strength which shines across with every deed of love, turn his gaze upwards. And thus will love and compassion for sick and weak people result in twice as many blessings.... It will help to improve the physical condition of the sick and weak and simultaneously be extremely beneficial for the soul, and therefore, don’t forget to grant them your help and kind-hearted sympathy, lift them up physically and spiritually, and thereby also let their time of suffering become a time of spiritual maturing for them.... and the Lord will bless those who are full of compassion towards their suffering fellow human beings....

Amen

SUOSJECANJE.... BOLESNI I SLABI LJUDI....

Pobrinite se za bolesne i nemocne, i uzmite u obzir da oni pate i potrebuju vašu pomoc. Vi bi trebali biti suosjecajni i neprestano uzimati u obzir dobrobit tih jadnih ljudi, cije fizicke nesrece cine njihov život nepodnošljivim, vi trebate pokušati olakšati ovu patnju i u svakom trenutku im nesebicno pomoci. To je Bogu milo, i pošto ste svi vi djeca Božja, jedan bi trebao takoder biti zainteresiran za drugog a ne dozvoliti da se u vama pojavi bezosjecajnost ili ravnodušnost spram vaših bližnjih ludskih bica. Koliko cesto ljudi mimoilaze bolesne i nemocne bez da im pruže utješnu rijec, to je vrlo deprimirajuce za takve patnike. Oni su bespomocni u njihovom stanju i zahvalni za svaku rijec udijeljenu od strane Ljubavi.... A koliko cesto oni moraju biti uskraceni buduci im nikakva ljubazna rijec nije recena. Oni su usamljeni, i njihova je duša zahvacena od strane vrloduboke tuge, jer gladuje za Ljubavlju a jedino je nedostatno uzeta u razmatranje....

I Gospod poducava suosjecanje.... i obecaje vjecno blaženstvo, jer suosjecanje pretpostavlja Ljubav, i jedino napor Ljubavi ce donijeti spasenje duši. Suosjecanje je najcišca Ljubav spram bližnjega, jer želi pomoci i ne ocekuje ništa zauzvrat.... Osoba može biti bolesna u tijelu baš kao i u duši.... i donijeti mu pomoc je uvijek neizrecivo dragocjeno.... govoriti rijeci utjehe fizicki slabome i ponuditi psihološki bolesnom i krhkom ispravan lijek iz dobro-dušne Ljubavi spram bližnjega.... Jer tjelesna patnja ce dokoncati jednog dana ali ne ona duše ukoliko joj se ne pristupi kroz aktivnu Ljubav spram bližnjega donoseci joj pomoc da izbjegne njezinu nedacu.

Slaba i bolesna osoba, medutim, treba dvostruko više potpore, jer tjelesna slabost takoder cesto pušta dušu da padne u bespomocnost, i ona može biti pomognuta jedino kroz nesebicnu Ljubav koja, tako reci, budi dušu iz njezina letargicnog stanja i stimulira ju da se pobrine poboljšati njezino stanje. Onda ce ljudsko bice takoder podnositi njegovu fizicku patnju sa strpljenjem, samo ako je duša došla do ispravnog prepoznavanja naracun aktivne pomoci njezina bližnjeg ljudskog bica koje ju je podupiralo tijekom njezine nedace.

Svaka aktivno suosjecajna osoba može udijeliti nebrojene blagoslove, jer zemaljsko dijete ce ovo osjecati na jedan zemaljski baš kao i na duhovan nacin, i osoba tako uzeta u obzir ce morati osjecati olakšanje i, naracun duhovne snage koja izbija sa svakim djelom Ljubavi, okrenuti svoj pogled nagore. I time ce Ljubav i suosjecanje za bolesne i slabe ljude rezultirati u dvostruko više blagoslova.... Ona ce pomoci poboljšati fizicko stanje bolesnog i nemocnog i biti istovremeno iznimno blagotvorna za dušu, i prema tome ne zaboravite im ukazati vašu pomoc i dobro-dušnu sucut, podignite ih fizicki i duhovno, i na taj nacin takoder dopustite da vrijeme njihove patnje takoder postane za njih vrijeme duhovnog sazrijevanja.... i Gospod ce blagosloviti one koji su puni suosjecanja spram njihovih patnickih bližnjih ljudskih bica.

AMEN
