The person who contemplates from and in the heart has quite the challenge these days. There is so much in the world that breaks hearts and that can keep them from being fully alive. Violence is violent in itself and it always goes to the core of the human person.<\/p>\n
Consider the war in Ukraine, the suffering in Haiti, the towns and areas of Mexico and Central America that live under the threat of drug cartels, the desperate and dangerous migration of people all over the world, the expansion of the war in the Middle East, drug and human trafficking, the millions that are enslaved all over the world, the growing suffering of the poor and disenfranchised, the hate and the division created by politics, the religious prejudices and violence in
\nNigeria and India, the abuse of minors, the silence of many, the cold shoulder that may give all these matters, the \u201cwhatever\u201d attitude of the numb of spirit, the ignorance of these matters that some prefer, the indifference of too many, the lack of compassion and understanding, and the list, unfortunately, goes on and on and on.<\/p>\n
And, yet there are so many people who watch, pray, hope and act from their hearts. People that indeed care about our world and the human race. People who perceive the conscious that they are in God. People watching, getting involved, trying to make a difference, praying, and hoping against hope with the heart of God. How fortunate the human race is for having these wonderful people who do not let anything disengage them from the courageous and selfless act of loving without limits or borders or conditions. How blessed we are to have these unsung heroes among us that carry such burdens because they watch, pray, hope, and act from their union with God.<\/p>\n
It’s too bad that they are not subjects of the news. How wonderful it would be to watch them so we could join them. Pray with them so that we could fortify them. Hope with them so that we could care for them. Act with them so that the voices of the just and the compassionate would get stronger and louder in our world.<\/p>\n
Do you know any of these people?<\/p>\n
You are in my prayers and in my heart. Peace and Good. Friar Julio<\/p>\n

La persona que contempla desde y en el coraz\u00f3n tiene un gran desaf\u00edo en estos d\u00edas. Hay tantas cosas en el mundo que rompen corazones y que pueden impedirles estar plenamente vivos. La violencia es violenta en s\u00ed misma y siempre llega al n\u00facleo de la persona humana.<\/p>\n
Pensemos en la guerra en Ucrania, el sufrimiento en Hait\u00ed, las ciudades y zonas de M\u00e9xico y Am\u00e9rica Central que viven bajo la amenaza de los c\u00e1rteles de la droga, la migraci\u00f3n desesperada y peligrosa de personas en todo el mundo, la expansi\u00f3n de la guerra en Oriente Medio, el tr\u00e1fico de drogas y de personas, los millones de personas esclavizadas en todo el mundo, el creciente sufrimiento de los pobres y marginados, el odio y la divisi\u00f3n creados por la pol\u00edtica, los prejuicios religiosos y la violencia en Nigeria y la India, el abuso de menores, el silencio de muchos, la indiferencia con la que se puede tratar a todos estos asuntos, la actitud de no importa \u201d de los insensibles de esp\u00edritu, la ignorancia de estos asuntos que algunos prefieren, la indiferencia de demasiados, la falta de compasi\u00f3n y comprensi\u00f3n, y la lista, por desgracia, sigue y sigue y sigue.<\/p>\n
Y, sin embargo, hay tanta gente que observa, reza, espera y act\u00faa desde el coraz\u00f3n. Gente que de verdad se preocupa por nuestro mundo y la raza humana. Gente que percibe la conciencia de que est\u00e1 en Dios. Gente que observa, se involucra, trata de marcar una diferencia, reza y espera contra toda esperanza con el coraz\u00f3n de Dios. Qu\u00e9 afortunada es la raza humana por tener a estas maravillosas personas que no dejan que nada les aparte del acto valiente y desinteresado de amar sin l\u00edmites ni fronteras ni condiciones. Qu\u00e9 bendici\u00f3n tener entre nosotros a estos h\u00e9roes an\u00f3nimos que llevan tantas cargas porque observan, rezan, esperan y act\u00faan desde su uni\u00f3n con Dios.<\/p>\n
Es una l\u00e1stima que no sean protagonistas de las noticias. Qu\u00e9 maravilloso ser\u00eda observarlos para poder unirnos a ellos. Orar con ellos para poder fortalecerlos. Esperar con ellos para poder cuidarlos. Actuar con ellos para que las voces de los justos y los compasivos se hagan m\u00e1s y m\u00e1s fuertes en nuestro mundo.<\/p>\n
\u00bfConoces a alguna de estas personas?<\/p>\n
