Knowing this, the Lord instructed us:<\/p>\n
“Do not delivered thy soul to sadness, do not torment yourself in your thoughts. <\/span>The joy of the heart is the life of man, and an inexhaustible treasure of Holiness; <\/span>the joy of man makes his life long “<\/span><\/em> (Sirach 30:21 -23).<\/span><\/p>\n God gives us the order to not give ourselves over to sadness, because it has caused the loss of many. <\/span>He doesn’t want to see us die because of it. <\/span>Many people have already died spiritually and psychologically because of the sadness. <\/span>People have sadness rooted in heart! They n<\/span>eed to remove everything and get rid of the root of bitterness.<\/span><\/p>\n Monsignor Jonas Abib-Credits: New Song File<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The radical liberation from sorrow is the work of the spirit<\/strong>. <\/span>Only he is able to eradicate from us all grief and make that joy\u00a0spring abundantly within us. <\/span>But He needs our cooperation, without it nothing will be done.<\/span><\/p>\n It is necessary to be open to all roots being removed. <\/span>God gives us free will: the decision is ours.<\/span><\/p>\n They often insist on cultivating negative feelings, become masochistic. <\/span>We can’t be brooding over past sufferings. <\/span>In this way, we end up opening a huge gap for the enemy to act.<\/span><\/p>\n Sadness is the Devil’s favorite daughter<\/strong>, so he likes to cultivate and accommodate sadness in our hearts.<\/p>\n We can’t be bitter, negative people, rough, bitter, angry and resentful. <\/span>On the contrary, we need to take ownership of the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, benevolence, faith, self-control.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Somehow the temptation seeks an opening to act in our lives. <\/span>There are people who wish to sincerely be of the Lord, but end up allowing\u00a0the sadness take control of the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n The word of God commands us:<\/p>\n “Not delivered thy soul to sadness; <\/span>don’t torment yourself in your thoughts “<\/span><\/em>(Sr 30, 21).<\/span><\/p>\n We can’t deliver ourselves to temptation: We belong to God. Did you e<\/span>ver notice how many times the Lord guides us?<\/span><\/p>\n “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what belongs to God”<\/em> <\/span>(Mt 22.21).<\/span><\/p>\n Of God comes the joy, from the devil comes grief. <\/span>We are from God, so we are from Joy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Sadness is responsible for many diseases and suicides. <\/span>If there is sadness, as you fight the enemy; <\/span>forego the sadness, as if you are renouncing the devil.<\/span><\/p>\n Only those who fight and do not let themselves be slaughtered by the setbacks of life find true joy. <\/span>Renounce all that grieves you to Him:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Lord, because I believe in You, I renounce all sadness that came over me. I b<\/span>reak with sadness, with disappointment and with all sorts of frustration.<\/span> <\/p>\n![\"monsenhor\"](\"http:\/\/img.cancaonova.com\/cnimages\/especiais\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/02\/monsenhor-600x353.png\")

\nI put all sorrow at the foot of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. <\/span>I don’t want to accumulate debris in my heart. <\/span>On the contrary, I want to cultivate joy.<\/span>
\nRemove from me the root of sadness. <\/span>Give me your Holy Spirit. <\/span>I want to make my life a constant joy to others. <\/span>Give me your joy and your peace.<\/span>
\nAmen!<\/span><\/p>\n
