YOU CAN BE SURE

You can talk about kindness at every moment, but if you are not kind,

it will be useless for your own happiness.

*

Your hand can write beautiful pages under spiritual inspirations;

however, if you do not stamp the beauty of those pages onto your

spirit, you will not be more than a courier without intelligence.

*

You can read marvelous books, with emotions and tears; still, if you do

not apply what you have read, you will only be a bad recorder.

*

You can cultivate sincere convictions in matters of faith; nevertheless,

if these convictions do not serve to renew you for the good, your mind

will be reduced to a mere hook whereon to hang religious maxims.

*

Your capacity to offer guidance can discipline many people, so

improving their personalities. Still, if you do not discipline yourself,

the Law will face you with the same severity with which it is utilised

you so as to perfect others.

*

You may know the lessons of the pathway perfectly and may, in the

mortal eyes, pass to the gallery of heroes and saints; but if you do not

practise the good teachings you know, the Divine Laws will determine

that you always have to begin your work over again, each time with

greater difficulty.

*

You may call Jesus: “Master” and “Lord”…; however, if you do not

want to learn to serve with Him, your words will sound hollow,

without any meaning.

Um admiravel caso sobre Chico Xavier.

O ANJO BOM

Dois anos de surras incessantes.
Dois anos vivera o Chico junto da madrinha.
Numa tarde muito fria, quando entrou em colóquio com Dona Maria João
de Deus, Chico implorou:
— Mamãe, se a senhora vem nos ver, porque não me retira daqui?
O Espírito carinhoso afagou-o e perguntou:
— Por que está você tão aflito? Tudo, no mundo, obedece àvontade de
Deus.
— Mas a senhora sabe que nos faz muita falta...
A Mãezinha consolou-o e explicou:
— Não perca a paciência. Pedi a Jesus para enviar um anjo bom que tome
conta de vocês todos.
E sempre que revia a progenitora, o menino indagava:
— Mamãe, quando é que o anjo chegará?
— Espere, meu filho! — era a resposta de sempre.
Decorridos dois meses, o Sr. João Cândido Xavier resolveu casar-se em
segundas núpcias.
E Dona Cidália Batista, a segunda esposa, reclamou os filhos de Dona
Maria João de Deus, que se achavam espalhados em casas diversas.
Foi assim que a nobre senhora mandou buscar também o Chico. Quando
a criança voltou ao antigo lar contemplou a madrasta
que lhe estendia as mãos.
Dona Cidália abraçou-o e beijou-o com ternura e perguntou:
— Meu Deus, onde estava este menino com a barriga deste jeito?
Chico, encorajado com o carinho dela, abraçou-a também, como o
pássaro que sentia saudades do ninho perdido.
A madrasta bondosa fitou-o bem nos olhos e indagou:
— Você sabe quem sou, meu filho?
— Sei sim. A senhora é o anjo bom de que minha mãe já falou...
E, desde então, entre os dois, brilhou o amor puro com que o Chico seguiu
a segunda mãe, até à morte.

About the spirit and it nature

In The Book of Spirits Kardec asks the spirits higher that dictated the Spiritist Codification - the five major works of basic Spiritist Doctrine -, 'What is spirit?' And they said: 'The intelligent principle of universe' (1996, question 23, p .60). And in question 76, Kardec asks in another way: 'How can we define the spirits?' The answer is categorically: 'We can say that the Spirits are the intelligent beings of creation. They populate the universe, beyond the material world '. Indeed, is important that between these two issues we don't make confusion. While in the first case, Kardec refers to the 'universal intelligent element' as himself says in a observation to the answer 76, and in the second case, the spirits refer 'to extra-corporios beings'(ibid).

The power of faith

Allan Kardec, the codifier of Spiritism wrote: 'unshaken faith is only that which can face the opposite reason, in all epochs of mankind' (2004:359). This question invites us to think that on faith, it is necessary that it be sustained on a rational, intelligent and at certain points, not subject to anything ... True faith does not fear any scientific idea, new religions, nor the problems of life and its consequences ... For 'faith that does not confront the ridicule of men is not true faith' (2004:363).
