"REMEMBER"

“Mercy not sacrifice and the knowledge of God
more than burnt offerings” Hosea 6-6.

“REMEMBER”
On his knees before going to sleep, a man was saying:

Lord: have Mercy on me! Have pity on this poor sinner!
Nothing of this life I deserve, have Mercy on me, because I am weak,
and for my weakness, to the bottom of the pit, I have ended!
I would like to leave this horrible place, but, because of all my sins,
very far from You I am, and I know that in order to remove my pain,
I need to be born again!
Remember all the times I have fasted for you!
Remember so many prayers I have sent you!
Remember all the sacrifices I have dedicated you!
And have Mercy on me!
He went to sleep and he dreamed that God was telling him:

Mercy? Do you know what Mercy really is?
Don’t you always have lived Mercy less?
Fighting for the least insignificant thing?
Being worse than a man without a heart?

Aren’t you always violating My Laws?
Aren’t you always working while fasting?
Aren’t you worshiping without caring if it is really Me?

Your thoughts are always in money!
How to put together a fortune!
Where is your Mercy for people?
Where is your Love for God?
You too remember:
Remember to love people before a sacrifice or fasting!
Remember to stop sinning and put away your vices!
Remember Charity and all its services!
Remember To do Mercy, not sacrifices!
But most of all:
Remember My Son that died so you could be forgiven!
And invite Him! Invite Him to live within you!

And don’t matter how black your sins may be,
They will be whitened as white as snow, you will see!
Don’t forget! Always remember! Remember Me!
Praise the Lord!
