The lie of this world

When you are born they give you a trendy name that you don't find in the calendar. As a child, immediately, they bring you designer clothes, a babysitter, a lot of money spent on useless toys. Then a little older they tell you they have the best friends in the class, private schools, trendy shoes, expensive school accessories. They write you in gyms, music schools, to make you and make you better than others. They start to tell you which school you have to attend, the professional job you have to do, the wife or husband you have to marry, in fact the latter must be better than you otherwise you cannot continue a love relationship with them, you have to pay contributions for a good retirement, you have to raise your children as they did with you better, you have to try to earn a lot every day, make a living like a king by working little and spending a lot. Even when you die they will choose the best funeral accessories for you.

STOP

This is the lie of the world.

Do you know the truth? Now I'll tell you.

When you are born you have to put a name of a saint so that in your life he can take his example and he can protect you. As a child let you study with all your friends and make you understand that the children are all the same and not wealth can make them different. Brand clothes and the best school accessories don't serve your life, it doesn't depend on these things. Make yourself known immediately, as a child, the person of Jesus to know his teaching and can put it into practice. Make yourself understood that in life you can do what you like, even if it is the last of the jobs, as long as you are happy when you work, follow your vocation and earn what you need for a dignified life. Raising your children according to the truth and not the lie of this world. Understanding that beyond this world there is eternal life so it is not necessary to follow fashion and wealth but to follow the teaching and morals of Jesus to reach Heaven. Even your funeral will do it without too many vestments, if you have been a man of love, however, you will be remembered by everyone.

This is the truth.

Dear friend wherever you are, in any season of your life, if so far you have followed the lie of this world, now it changes. You are still on time, even if on the last day of your life. In fact, it is enough that you understand that life is not made of things or possessions, but it is made of good deeds, of giving, of loving as Jesus taught and did.
