Such statement changed my experience living the Sacrament of Reconciliation and I hope the same happens to you. Kindly, ... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5358 The Bible teaches us that we are not able to overcome the evil by ourselves. It means that before any situation of sin, the best solution is to escape of this occasions of dangers and if you consider necessary apart from people that can bring such situation. Understand that only God can overcome this enemy and he will be defeated if we accept Jesus’ help. Did you understand? Kindly, ... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5351 Mercy is a virtue of hearts who know how to be really human and are not afraid of self-donation, on the contrary: merciful people feel irresistibly attracted by all that real Mercy represents. Being merciful is hugging those who are ashamed of themselves, kissing those who are disgusted at their own history, welcoming those who have no place in this world nor in anybody’s heart. If you dress y... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5317 I’ve learned that when I do not forgive my brothers and sisters, I take the poison that causes damage first in my life and after in our brother’s lives as well. Unfortunately, I knew many intelligent people able to do many things, but unable to forgive; people very smart but filled by selfishness, proud or an exasperation against themselves and the world. Such people poison themselves wi... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5299 If you love you do not forsake your own personality but you are capable of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, you can see the world through his or her eyes, you can understand the way he or she thinks, you can make yours his or her hopes…thus love makes the beloved one happier. That is how real love acts, when it is necessary love also corrects by listening to the beloved one, being pre... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=3462 If you love you do not forsake your own personality but you are capable of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, you can see the world through his or her eyes, you can understand the way he or she thinks, you can make yours his or her hopes…thus love makes the beloved one happier.

You are patient if you know that people are like plants: in other words, you should not try to pull their leaves to make them grow because the secret lies in their roots. If ... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=3528 Try to pray before each step. It is amazing to find out that the Holy Spirit is so close to our souls. It is impossible that He would not have a word, feeling or inspiration to guide us, whatever the situation. Thus, God’s will is accomplished in every event of our lives and ministry. You need to try it! Prayer will be a necessary experience that we need to have to grow as a person and in ou... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5248 Listening to people’s history, I have learned that what make them suffer is not only what they hear or what they do with themselves. What is mistreating people is the lack of affection. The real problem is not what people say or do to us, but the way they say and act. It causes deep wounds that makes us feel the lack of that generating force which keep us alive: Love! Watch out: There are p... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5233 You can only believe in people when you learn to see beyond them. When you realize that God has the Power of performing miraculous changes and cause awesome spiritual growth in everybody’s life, then you bet on your fellowman to the very end: you do not see their present condition and their limitations, you look at their potential with the eyes of their Creator, Who loves His creatures just the ... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=4187 Judas committed suicide because he only looked to himself. Actually, the same thing happened with Peter when he walked on the waters, sinking later because of his fear. I believe that Judas once tempted by devil and looking only to his faults did not see anything else beyond his miseries and in these miseries, a total lack of solution. Watch out, because it also happens with you and m... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5216 St. Paul in his letter to Ephesians explained that we approach to Jesus attitudes through charity attitudes. It is convenient recall that, S. Paul in his statement to Corinthians explain that love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury; it do... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5199 There are many ways to handle with it but I point up two attitudes among them: The first attitude is to believe that even through the absurd of facts, if we are humble and meek God can teaches us . The second is to strive to make gestures of love because only love can enlighten the situation and thus, the true will arise. What do you choose? ... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5190 I think that the best way to develop a good sense of justice is first of all being humble enough to LEARN. In fact, most situations that imply in judgment do not mean that you should try to play the role of a judge in court: it is not a question of finding people “guilty” or “not guilty” and taking concrete measures to reward or punish them. In fact, most of the times you should try to LEARN from ... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=3879 I learned that we see the world from what we have faced; we see it from our own point of view and not as it really is. It means that people do not understand the world as it is supposed to be but according to their own concepts. Meditating on this subject helped me to keep silent when the subject is on people’s behavior and their thoughts, feelings, talks and debates. I have learned that peopl... http://www.cancaonova.net/channels/message/ricardo/?id=5143 ble waters”.
