ERA - Aforismos - Caridad

 

Title:

Poem By: Eduardo Ritter Aislan

Words: En la estricta observancia de la caridad pueden resumirse todas la reglas de la disciplina cristiana. Pero caridad es algo mas que desprenderse sin dolor de algo que nos pertenece para aliviar o socorrer al prójimo es algo mas que dar limosnas con generosidad y evitar el hablar o pensar orgullosamente de nosotros.  La caridad consiste en perdonar de corazón al que nos injuria y daña. Y el ejercicio mas hermoso de esta virtud teologal consiste en rezar por nuestros enemigos, en desearles bien y no permitir que nuestra alma se anuble con sórdidos propósitos de revancha.

Quien puede rezar sinceramente por sus enemigos ha llegado a la excelsitud reservada por Dios a sus hijos predilectos.

English Translation: ERA - Aphorism - Charity
All the rules of Christian discipline can be summarized by the strictest observance of charity. But charity is more than the disinterested giving in order to help or lessen the needs of our fellow men, it is more than the giving generously without ulterior or selfish motives. Charity is being able to forgive from the bottom or our hearts those who wrong or hurt us. And the most beautiful example of this theological virtue is being able to pray for our enemies to wish them well and not allow our soul to be clouded with sordid intentions of revenge.
He who can pray sincerely for his enemies, has reached a state of grace reserved by God for his chosen children.
