Somet<\/span><span lang=\"en\">ime we have more chaff, sometime we have more wheat; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">and we are purifying and transforming our heart.<\/span><span lang=\"en\">We wish to be wheat, but we are not always, and we can&#8217;t deny that often we sow the chaff in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Just see that there are many &#8220;detracting words&#8221;, and I&#8217;m not reducing the word to say that gossip is something good. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Gossip is so bad, so evil, a chaff of worst kind and quality. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Maybe, the chaff is the thing that most hurt humanity, and we think it&#8217;s a small thing. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">The chaff is a small thing, but it&#8217;s bad. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">At the same time, we recognize that in us thoughts, feelings and actions that are evil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">Mercy and patience of God have been waiting for our conversion!<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">In the Kingdom of God there is something spectacular, and only by the grace of him the chaff turns into wheat. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Only with the grace of the Lord we contemplate extraordinary miracles to people who were true &#8216; joios &#8216; for humanity, but turned in a good wheat of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">When we look at the life of St Francis, a Saul of Tarsus, an Ignatius of Loyola, we see that men were lost, but were transformed by the good wheat of Christ; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">they have turned into true wheat for mankind. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">So is God&#8217;s patience. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">You said: &#8220;why were the bad guys are not eliminated?<\/span><span lang=\"en\">Why were the bad guys not soon made extinct? &#8220;, because many of us would be too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">The mercy of God has acted, has expected that many fools\u00a0to be converted. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">But in the end times, no! He w<\/span><span lang=\"en\">ill separate the waters, they&#8217;re going to separate what is bad from what is good.<\/span><span lang=\"en\">And the chaff that is not converted, not purified, which didn&#8217;t become true wheat, will be eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">Brothers and sisters, now is \u00a0the time of the patience of God, let our hearts be converted to good wheat.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">God bless you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<footer id=\"autor_info\" class=\"entry-utility\">\n<figure class=\"entry-thumb\"><a class=\"entry_author_image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsofttranslator.com\/bv.aspx?from=&amp;to=en&amp;a=http%3A%2F%2Fhomilia.cancaonova.com%2Fauthor%2Fpadreroger%2F\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.cancaonova.com\/cnimages\/canais\/authors\/12_thumb.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"entry-bloco\">\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Fr.
