BORBA PROTIV SEBE SAMOGA ILI SLUŽENJE U LJUBAVI....

Ne zaboravite da ćete se morati boriti ili služiti.... Ipak borba ne bi trebala biti protiv vaših bližnjih ljudskih bića, protiv onih koji su slabi i bespomoćni, niti bi se jedan trebao obarati na drugoga kako bi ga porazio poradi svjetovnog uspjeha. Borba treba biti protiv vas samih, protiv pogrešaka i loših navika, poroka i žudnji....Ova borba nije lagana i potrebuje svu vašu snagu; ipak ako ste pobjedonosni u ovoj borbi vi ste ostvarili veličanstven uspjeh.... Međutim, vi također možete odabrati drugačiji put kako bi postigli ovaj uspjeh.... put pomažuće bratske ljubavi. Čim pomažete vi isto tako prevazilazite sami sebe, jer vi dobrovoljno mijenjate svoju prirodu. Vi stječete snagu koja vam je potrebna kako bi odbacili sve pogreške i loše navike kroz vaša ljubavna djelovanja i primate jednu izobilnu mjeru milosti.... ako služite u ljubavi.... U tom slučaju ste vi najprije prevladali oholost/aroganciju; vi ste postali ponizni i naknadno primate jednu neograničenu količinu blagoslova.... Vi više ne trebate voditi borbu protiv samih sebe jednom kada služite sa ljubavlju. Služiti sa ljubavlju je tek drugačiji oblik borbe protiv samog sebe ipak on isto tako polučuje uspjeh u postajanju pobjedonosnim nad svime što je degradirajuće, nad svim žudnjama, nad nemilosrđem.

Promjena čovjekova karaktera se događa ili kroz borbu ili pomaganje, međutim, pomaganje je puno lakše nego borba, i svatko tko je uvijek pomažući brat njegovim bližnjim ljudskim bićima će se susresti sa puno manje protivljenja nego netko čiji se cilj sastoji u sistematskom samo-odricanju, jer njegova ljudska bića mu neće ponuditi stpljenje i ljubav koje prijašnji zadobija kroz njegovo ponašanje spram drugih ljudi. To je zbog čega je rečeno: borba ili pomaganje.... budući će pomažuća osoba biti pošteđena teških unutarnjih borbi koje druga osoba često mora otrpjeti. Borba sa oružjem ljubavi je uvijek obećavajuća, i doista, netko tko sa poniznošću pomaže je snažniji, jer on stiže do cilja brže, budući će on uvijek primiti milost i snagu u izobilju.... za koju će netko tko se bori u stvari morati također zamoliti ili će biti poražen u njegovoj borbi protiv sebe samoga. Ona će mu također biti dostavljena od strane Boga nakon njegove molitve tako da on može ostvariti njegovu promjenu karaktera, ipak ona će biti kompletirana tek kada on također pomaže sa ljubavlju, kada je, nakon teške borbe, njegova sebična ljubav postala nesebična ljubav spram bližnjega.... i onda će on također primiti snagu i milost kroz ljubavlju-ispunjenu aktivnost.

AMEN

Fighting or helping....

Don't forget that you will have to fight or be of service.... Yet the battle should not be against your fellow human being, against those who are weak and defenceless, nor should one tackle the other in order to defeat him for the sake of worldly success. The battle should be against yourselves, against faults and bad habits, vices and cravings.... This battle is not easy and requires all your strength; yet if you are victorious in this battle you will have achieved a marvellous success.... However, you can also choose a different path in order to attain this success.... the path of helpful neighbourly love. As soon as you are helping you are likewise overcoming yourself, for you voluntarily change your nature. You acquire the strength you need in order to discard all faults and bad habits through your actions of love and receive an abundant measure of grace.... if you serve with love.... In that case you will have overcome arrogance first; you will have become humble and can subsequently receive an unlimited amount of blessings.... You no longer need to wage battle against yourselves once you serve with love. Being of service with love is merely a different form of battle against oneself yet it likewise succeeds in becoming victorious over everything degrading, over all cravings, over heartlessness.

A person's change of character takes place either through fighting or helping, however, helping is far easier than fighting, and anyone who is always a helpful brother to his fellow human beings will meet with far less opposition than someone whose goal consists of systematic self-denial, for his fellow human beings will not offer him the patience and love which the former gains through his conduct with other people. This is why it says: fighting or helping.... because a helpful person will be spared the difficult inner battles which the other person often has to endure. A battle with the weapons of love is always promising, and truly, someone who helps with humility is the stronger, for he reaches his goal faster, because he will always receive grace and strength in abundance.... which someone who fights will in fact have to appeal for as well or he will be defeated in his battle against himself. It will also be conveyed to him by God after his prayer so that he can achieve his transformation of character, yet it will only have been completed when he also helps with love, when, after a tough battle, his selfish love has become selfless neighbourly love.... and then he will also receive strength and grace through loving activity....

Amen
