Coronavirus: God corrects us as a good Father
Dear friend, together today we make a short meditation on the misfortunes that sometimes we go to live. We can also take as an example the period we are now living in, where this month of March 2020, in Italy, we are experiencing difficulties linked to the spread of the epidemic. Punishment of God? A simple natural case? Unconsciousness of man? No, dear friend, none of this. When these things happen they are "corrections of God" for each of us. Our Heavenly Father as a good father sometimes gives us a few small sticks to make us reflect on things that we often no longer think about.
Dear friend, as I said before, we can take the present moment as an example to understand God how he corrects us and how he loves us. If you see the virus now to avoid its high contagion, it gives us limitations such as staying at home and avoiding crowded places and in the latest precautionary measures taken by the Italian government, also to avoid the workplace.
What does coronavirus briefly teach us? Why did God allow this and what does He want to tell us?
Coronavirus gives us time to stay home without doing anything. It gives us time to be together in families and live away from our business, business or attractive situations. He avoids us to stop at night clubs but as good men he makes us go to bed early. It allows us to live and be satisfied with only primary things such as food and drugs which we almost think that touch us by right and are not a good and a gift. It allows us to understand that we are fragile and not omnipotent, that we must live in fraternity, the present good and be selfless and loving. God today puts before us the example of doctors and nurses who are giving their existence for the care of the sick. It allows us to understand the value of the Holy Mass that today and for a long period we cannot go but sometimes when we had it available to sleep a few more hours or for a few trips we avoided it. Today we are looking for Mass but we do not have it. It allows us to think about the health of our parents, elderly grandparents who sometimes forget that we have them.
This virus makes us live in the family, without too much work, fun, it allows us to talk and to be satisfied with even a simple piece of bread or a warm room.
Dear friend, as you can see, perhaps God wants to communicate something to us, perhaps God wants to correct us on some form that we men have abandoned but has a considerable importance in the values of life.
When all ends and men recover from this virus. Everyone will resume and return to normal. Let's not forget nature what it forced us to do, what it forced us to protect ourselves from disease.
Maybe God wants this. Maybe God wants us to remember the simple things of the past that the man of progress and technology has now forgotten.
