What do you learn in times of crisis?

From childhood, I heard this word “Crisis”. Crisis of the increased price of gasoline, Crisis in agriculture and farming, crisis in unemployment. So many crisis confront us.

How is the heart of the father and mother when they are passing through the financial crisis?

On one side are accounts to pay: rent, car, school and “we don’t have enough money”, on the other side the money to receive but “we don’t receive it.” In some cases in order to honor our committments, we have to sell what we have to settle with creditors, making us feel discouraged and broken.

Daily of the crisis it is necessary to proclaim, never despair. In moments of crisis human reasoning cannot see hope, then hope disappears into despair.

The important thing is not to run away from committments. One should not hide, on the contrary, go to encounter the persons involved and explain the reality. Another step is to trust that divine providence will open doors.

Generally in financial crisis we discover who loves us.

I heard from childhood a phrase proclaimed by my mother. “Son, God never abandons us!”
