Once upon a
time, there was
a bird who
unlike his
brothers and
sisters, was
born with
communication
difficulties.
His little head
could not think
straight and
while the other
birds sang
beautifully, he
just screamed
sounds.
 |
And it was
not only
that. Tiny -
as he was
called -
also had
difficulty
walking and
flying like
the other
birds. He
was always
in need of
care and
support from
his siblings
who loved
him and
cared for
him with
great
dedication.
Time passed
and he grew
up. However,
there came a
time when
even though
they were
always
alert, his
mother and
siblings
could not
help him.
Once, in the
garden where
they lived,
the gardener
hoed and
cleaned the
land and
gathering
all the
dirt, old
leaves and
twigs, set
fire to the
|
trash. |
|
The bird, who
hopped from side
to side in the
vegetation,
looking for
food, tired of
playing and
flying, quieted
down and fell
asleep. He did
not notice that
the gardener had
lit fires
nearby. When he
realized the
danger, it was
too late. He was
reached by the
fire!
With his wings
singed and his
feet burned, he
had tried to
fly, but
couldn't
manage.
He was in a lot
of pain, but
could not call
anyone or cry
for help. When
his mother, who
was never
careless and had
been looking for
him, found him,
he was already
wounded.
Then the mother
began to tweet
for help. The
others heard the
cry from the
mother and came
to help her.
Together, they
managed to pull
him off the fire
with extreme
difficulty and
take him to
safety.
As the
father-bird had
already passed
to the other
side of life,
the task fell
onto his mother
and siblings,
who nursed him
with infinite
care, helping
him in
everything they
could.
However, the
injuries caused
by the fire were
very severe.
Therefore, there
was a point when
the little bird
could no longer
endure so much
suffering. He
needed to free
himself of all
the suffering
that for months
had kept him
attached to his
small, fragile
and burned
little body.
Thus, Jesus, who
is all love and
mercy, decided
to free the bird
from the
shackles that
bound him to the
physical body.
Then, finally,
the bird, free
in spirit, flew
into space to
meet all those
who loved him,
being received
with much love
by his father.
His Guardian
Angel, who had
also come to
welcome him,
involved the
fledgling bird
tenderly,
telling him
fondly:
- Welcome to the
Kingdom of Love.
You deserve it
for having known
how to face the
existence full
of difficulties
you received. It
was necessary to
make it so for
you to learn the
lesson of love.
Your
difficulties in
this last
existence were
stains that you
brought from the
past and that
marked your
spirit, and that
needed to be
eliminated. Now,
free from the
shackles that
bound you to
that body, rest
my son, as you
well deserve.
After resting
for some time,
the fledgling
would awake to a
new life full of
blessings and
joy, convinced
that his
suffering was
not in vain. He
needed to go
through it to
readjust himself
with the Divine
Laws.
And so the
freed little
bird, weary
of the
struggle
that he
faced, but
happy,
feeling
light and
refreshed,
finally fell
asleep in
the arms of
his father.
Now, without
pain and
without
suffering,
Tiny could
fly through
the gardens,
feel the
wind touch
his
feathers,
smell the
flowers,
talk to the
butterflies,
other birds,
the trees,
with
plants.
And whoever
saw him
would ask:
- Who is
this little
enlightened
bird
thatpasses
through our
garden? |
 |
And a wiser
old bird
would
respond: |
- This is a bird
that overcame
the difficulties
of life and now
lives in another
garden, in the
spirit world,
bigger and more
beautiful than
ours!
