Questions came to me to thoughts when I remembered the news about the Mariana Dam in Minas Gerais that broke [spreading mud and destruction throughout the area-ed.] Ten machines that were used in the work of removal of mud and rubble that had covered the countryside of Mariana were stolen. Where does so much evil come from? What is the remedy against evil?

The answer for me is in the Gospel is the good news that needs to be announced.
You must convert to God.
Only the love of Christ in our hearts makes changes in our behavior, from sin to grace, wickedness for charity.
If we want a better country, a better world, we become converted.
God tells us: St. Mark’s Gospel, where Jesus is in Capernaum. “There gathered so many people, that there was no place, not even in front of the door. And Jesus announced to them the word. Brought him a paralytic, carried by four men. But unable to get to Jesus because of the crowd, then opened the ceiling, right over the place where he was. For this opening came down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
When he saw the faith of those men, Jesus said to the paralytic, ‘ Son, your sins are forgiven ‘. Jesus said to the paralytic:-I command you:
get up, pick up your bed, and go to your House. ‘ The paralyzed then stood up
and, carrying his bed, went out in front of everyone “ (Mk 2:1-6, 11-12).
Where do my inclinations lead? to good or evil?
What does the Holy Spirit invite me to today?
Lord Jesus, Come soon save us!
Mercy Lord, help your people!
How happy is the people that knows your joy; follows the way, and is always in the light of your face! (cf Ps 89).
Come Holy Spirit!
