Spirituality in action
Do you want to be happy? Live out your qualities…
Do you want to be happy? Be gentle, you will win hearts and you will be easily welcomed.
Do you want to be happy? Be merciful, learn to forget others’ mistakes, exercise your courage in forgiving: this is a way to experience love without harming yourself. Be thirsty for justice, have at heart to do your best; live out your qualities.
Do you want to be happy? Be peacemakers; avoid quarrels and compromising your values. Don't squander your peace, if you are not wanted, go elsewhere. If we examine the Beatitudes, we find an invitation to live the qualities received by nature or by grace.
