Theme: Suffering


The perfection’ service


(Meimei)


An old potter, very dedicated to his work, once fell seriously ill and began to experience enormous difficulties.

The relatives, whom he had served most, lived in distant regions, and seemed to have lost their memory...

With no one to help him, he began to live from public charity, but when he was begging, he fell on the street and broke one of his legs, being forced to rest in bed for a long time.

Weeping, bitter, he said a prayer and begged God for some consolation for his ills. Then he slept and dreamed that an angel appeared to him, bringing the requested answer.

The messenger from heaven led him to the old oven where he was working, and, showing him some beautiful vessels of his production, he asked:

- How did you manage to do such perfect work?

The potter, proud of his work, reported:

- Using fire very carefully and with great affection, in the service of perfection. Some vases returned to intense heat two or three times.

- And without fire would you carry out your task? - the emissary asked.

- Never! - replied the old man, sure of what he said.

- So as well - clarified the angel, kindly - suffering and struggle are the invisible flames that Our Heavenly Father created for the beautification of our souls that, one day, will be sublime and perfect vessels for the service of Heaven.

At that moment, the patient woke up, understood the Divine Will, and gave thanks to God.

 

From the book Our Father, by Meimei, a work psychographed by the medium Chico Xavier.
