TO TRANSFORM ONESELF
Any hardship is a springboard for transformation.
It is a matter today for everyone – those who must go out to help, those who must stay at home, believers and non-believers, in France and in all countries – of keeping the course of courage in the long term.
It is an opportunity to strengthen oneself through inner transformation.
So the question we will ask ourselves as the days go by is:
“How can we make this event an opportunity to express the best of ourselves? »
There is in each one a constructive force, a force of love that fixed habits, purely material concerns do not solicit, and that selfishness and divisions suffocate. By asking us to make an extra effort, this crisis gives us the opportunity to free it, to live it fully.
To make this new beginning easier for us:
– the first step is to consider life as a school and to say to ourselves with each experience: “What do I need to learn from it to progress? “If we find it difficult to step back from situations that overwhelm us with emotions, let us accept this with kindness towards ourselves and persevere:
“We were born on this Earth to learn to love. »
– the second step is to say to yourself, wherever you are, “How can I love, how can I help in the best possible way?” It’s a guiding thread that leads us to the right word and action in any context:
“By helping your brothers and sisters, you chisel the jewel of your soul and you will conquer true happiness
which is to have wanted to make everyone you meet happy.”
(Le Flambeau d’Unité, p. 397)
