[It is] prophesied what will happen at the last judgment: we shall be judged according to the way we have treated Him in the persons of the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden. -- Brazilian Archbishop Dom Hélder Câmara, from Fr Richard's Daily Meditation, July 3, 2025
There...the promise: At the last judgment we shall be judged according to the way we have treated all others in the persons of the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden.
This is the promise that we begin to realize by our changing thoughts, feelings, behavior.
We realize an upgrade to our own beliefs...we begin to believe in the last judgment.
We find our self wondering, why not believe? We say that it cannot be proven, but if we believe, it is proven...daily in our walking around change of attitude and behavior.
Without personal effort, we have become a walking-around joystick...we shed contentment for others to absorb.
The best part, of course, is that the contentment is not personal, it is of God. Ah, but it is our very own.
Thank you.
