Something different happened in this town. People in charge were supporting and giving orientation to the townspeople and asking for donations to help the ones who have had a bad year and many losses. And for that purpose, they announced in the town square, asking people to bring the proof of their loss so they could be helped. And 100 persons applied and they said: ” There was a fire in my house that destroyed all.”
” My business was robbed.”
” My partner swindled me.” ” I lost everything gambling.”
They showed documents as proof of their losses. The process was almost finished when the last one arrived, well dressed and not showing any sign of loss, but a withered flower in his hands. And he was asked: ” You are the last one and all before showed official proof; if you are a liar or a thief, it will be much better for you to leave, otherwise, you will be punished.” That man said: ” Many people have judged me the same but I have not come for money, but to show what is a true loss.” He then, took the withered flower and showing it as a sword, said these words: ” This is my proof, this flower was of a golden color, even more than the sun at noon time. She was light in the darkness, the torch that allowed me to see beyond darkness but one day, she abandoned me, she withered, and my illusion, my heart, my hope, my happiness, my smile left with her.” He, then, placed the flower against his chest and left the town square. And that day everybody understood that the greater losses are not the ones of the world but of the heart.

The man who walks with the eyes open, sees what he thinks is the reality but as the day darkens, he can’t proceed. And if there was a faint brightness, he may fall down in the abyss if coming too close to a curve in the road.
Faith is more than a light. It is a guide in the path of eternity. Even more, it is Wisdom that opens the heart. Love that moves the hardest heart. Peace that renews and makes life possible. And especially, it is the Love present in every moment, that shelters, preserves, protects, nourishes and offers solidarity.
It never discriminates but always accompanies, cries and laughs for us and in us.
Faith is not only a word, it is hope and life. It is a fulfilled promise and infinite tenderness. Faith is yesterday, today and always.
When the man walks with Faith, although his eyes seem to be closed, he will reach his goal because God is taking him by the hand.

The mountain was high, 
so high that seemed unreachable….
however, it was necessary to make the effort, 
to continue and to persist.
After great and arduous works 
that included vicissitudes and sacrifices, 
the high mountain that seemed to touch the stars, 
finally was reached 
and after recovering the breath,
stepping on the land and contemplating the rivers and plains, 
that seemed small silver threads, images that could not be defined
and seemed only as dots of colors.
After seen such an extraordinary vision, 
the man, with effort looked a little higher, 
to discover that the mountain that he had ascended 
was of all the countless chains of mountains,
the humblest and the smallest
There were, of course, higher ones 
and many than would fill, not only a universe, 
but rather many more.
Then, that man said: 
-I thought that my efforts were great
and my sacrifices were too many 
but now I discover that I have only shaken the dust of the road.
How will I be able to advance in the path 
if I thought that I had already given everything?
But, in an instant, a flash of light entered his heart 
and made him understand:
“We won’t only advance for efforts, 
sacrifices or for long hours of vigil, 
it won’t only be a rigorous system of life”
Of course! 
the man understood….
he had fought with his own limits, 
with the shades of his selfishness, 
but now he had discovered a truth larger than himself.
There was only a method that would level the path
and that would make of those summits his friends.
The answer, truly, is to love the path…
and for this grace, 
for the authority that gives this power, 
the faith is born 
and there are no longer limits,
even, there is no path,
everything has united….
In that instant, 
the man found the knowledge, 
he savored the wisdom 
and he really loved Love.
It had been discovered the reason 
and the mystery of Faith.

The king got up and said: ” My citizens are too relaxed, they sleep too much, they eat too much, they enjoy themselves too much and they have neglected me.” He, then shouted at the top of his lungs, and somebody instantly appeared and said: ” What does my lord the king want?”
The king answered: ” What do I want? I always want many things and I want them done immediately, before getting up, I want my bath ready and a succulent breakfast and I want you to do it right this minute.”
The man dressed in white, nodded and said: ” Yes, my king, right away.” He called two assistants, who came at once; they were dressed in white and prepared the bath and the food. But the bath was basic and the food was plain. Then that preponderant king protested saying: ” This cannot be tolerated, you are making fun of me and I will punish you, you are fired, you cannot stay in my kingdom.”
The three men dressed in white, said: ” No, my king, do not get angry with us, because we have orders of taking care of you, giving you the best; if the bath seems simple to you and the food even more, is only for your own good, so you can be fit and healthy. Please, do not judge us wrong, we will always give you the best.”
And the preponderant king answered: ” Rebellious, ungrateful, fool, citizens, I will call my general so he can punish your impertinent remarks.”
After this, the three men dressed in white left and a much older one, also dressed in white, came and said to the king: ” What happens my lord? Are you angry again? Did these bad citizens make you angry? Do not worry, my lord, I have a delicious drink that will make you feel good.”
He called the men who had just left and said: ” Bring me the precious jewel and give it to the king, so the king can drink it with this delicious juice, and feel better.”
This was done and the king drank the jewel with the delicious juice; he then decided to rest and told his citizens: ” I will rest for a while, but in the meantime, you can get my bath ready.”
And the citizens nodded. Then, when the king fell asleep, those men happily said: ” Today, our king got up in a bad mood, but his medicine will make him feel better.” While other said: ” Our king is a poor man.” And another said: ” Yes, poor man, because in truth, he is not a king, but only a simple man locked in a mental hospital.”
