<\/span><span lang=\"en\">It seems that love is frozen. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">There are many mothers and fathers, for example, that seem to have no more love for their children, because they are more involved with other things. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">If you don&#8217;t have love for children, imagine others &#8230; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">For these people, God does so mucy, but whatever God did, is just an accident in their lives. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Because guiding our life in him and our love for him above all things is &#8220;going out of fashion&#8221;. <\/span><strong><span lang=\"en\">It also reaches to the Christians and Catholics, consecrated priests and religious. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">I&#8217;m not criticizing, just saying that we need to react, being people who take in not only the word, but God himself.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">We can&#8217;t be &#8220;stony ground&#8221;, people who believe that when problems come, God goes away.\u00a0He<\/span><span lang=\"en\">\u00a0has no place in our lives. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">It&#8217;s like in Bethlehem, when Mary and Joseph found no place for Jesus to be born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Mark tells us that the seed fell on good soil. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">That&#8217;s what needs to happen to us, it is necessary that God comes to dwell within us, He\u00a0come at us with everything he has right. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">We must react and not be indifferent, so that his presence in us can bear fruit of faith and love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">We need to be like San Francisco de Sales. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">He let himself be &#8220;tamed&#8221; by God, he wanted to take and became a Saint of the charity, meekness, very similar to Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">We need God Himself to make us men and women of love, of tenderness, of love and charity, which swim upstream against indifference. <\/span><span lang=\"en\"><strong>The Lord tells us to be &#8220;Oasis&#8221; of love in &#8220;desert&#8221; that this world has become.<\/strong> <\/span><span lang=\"en\">He tells us. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">We need to be owned and led by the Holy Spirit.<\/span><span lang=\"en\">We have to swim against the current and drag everyone close to us so that we can be people of faith. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">We need the Holy Spirit reinflame us, because he was the greatest charisma that we receive, because He is love itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">&#8220;Lord, make us men and women possessed by the Holy Spirit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your brother,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Monsignor Jonas Abib<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/padrejonas.cancaonova.com\/informativos\/artigos\/indiferenca-espiritual\/\">Portuguese version<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everywhere there is indifference &nbsp;
