We are treading the love we learn from the light of faith, to live our religious preferences
"If a kingdom is divided against itself, it can not keep up, if a family is divided against itself, it can not be maintained, so if Satan rises up against himself and is divided, he can not survive, but he will be destroyed. "(Mark 3.24 to 26).
The evil one is the destroyer, he is the destroyed one, because he is the one who provokes the separation, he is the one who separates from God and wants to separate us from the Lord. He is the one who wants to see divided families, a divided people, a divided church, who wants to put us against each other.
The Gospel of today is an alert for all of us, because it does not serve only to put the blame on the evil one when we, of free and spontaneous will, let ourselves be seduced by their tricks. Once and for all, we learn that the
Devils is one that divides, separates, is the one that turns its back on God and wants others to separate from it. He does not sow love, but sows discord; it does not sow the union, but the disunity and the fight; It does not put people to join, but places people against each other.
We do not have to illustrate because it is only looking at the world in which we live is not a world away, but is not it going to be something sadder than a divided family? D what a family that just had fights, separations, divisions? In a family there may be misunderstandings and difficulties in relationships, but some are set against each other, parents against children, children against parents, brothers against each other, brothers who have not spoken, who do not understand.
And not only in a family, but also in our communities, brothers in the faith who do not speak, brothers who are putting themselves against each other, who attack each other, talking bad about each other. Excuse me, but the most important thing is not our preaching, carrying the religious flags masters or the music they sing, what matters most is the love that unites us.
We are treading the love we learn from the light of faith, to live our religious, family preferences or take care of our wounds and not take care of the love we need to have with each other.
The kingdom divided against itself can not subsist, the Kingdom of God does not subsist in us, it is disappearing from among us, we begin to live in a kingdom of confusion, lies, intrigues, attacks, combats or, in truth, we are called to implant God's kingdom.
We must not put ourselves against each other, we must know how to live and coexist with differences, with points of view that do not get hit. But there is something much deeper than any point of view, any misunderstanding, pain or resentment: it is the love that God has for us, the love that led him to shed His Blood on the Cross, to make two peoples or, how many peoples, only one people, the people of God, and so build the Kingdom that is not divided, but a Kingdom of love, peace and union.
