Today I reflects how easy it is to
break relationships! A word or the lack of a word; a gesture or the lack of an
expression, a thought, an assumption, an expectation! I understood that our
relationships are really very fragile!
(…)In however many neighbours throughout your day, from morning to night,
in all of them see Jesus. If your eye is simple, the one who looks through it is God,
and God is love, and love seeks to unite by winning over.
How many people, in error, look at creatures and
things in order to possess them. It may by a look of selfishness or of envy(..)
Look outside yourself, not in yourself, not in things,
not in person; look at God outside yourself and unite yourself to him. (…)
Look at every neighbour then with love, and love means
to give, a gift moreover, calls for a gift, and you will be loved in return. (…)
(Chiara Lubich, Essential Writings, New City
London, p 80)
If your eye is simple! That’s the challenge I have to meet every moment and if I
didn’t manage I need to start again in the present moment!
