Elza heard the
bell ring and
went to answer
it. It was her
friend Meire who
had arrived.
From the look on
her face, Elza
could see she
was not well. So
she put her best
smile on her
face when she
said:
 |
- Good morning,
Meire! How great
it is to see you
so early. Come
in! ...
- Elza, I really
need to talk to
someone and I
thought of you -
she said as she
hugged her
friend, unable
to hold back her
tears.
- You did very
well then,
Meire. Have a
sit. Let's talk.
What's going on?
|
The guest,
handkerchief in
hand, sobbed and
could not speak.
Elza held her,
gently:
- Calm down,
Meire. There is
a way for
everything! With
good will, there
is nothing that
cannot be
solved. I'll get
you some water -
Elza said,
leaving and
returning
shortly after
with water:
- Have a sip,
Meire. You will
feel better.
Indeed, after
having a sip of
water, Meire
felt better and
began to talk:
- Ah! I suffer
so much! Nobody
loves me! I am
sick and no one
cares about me!
...
- So you're
sick? Have you
seen a doctor,
Meire?
- No! Doctors
don’t know
anything. Also,
they just give
me remedies that
are useless.
- So then seek
help in God, our
Father, who
loves us and
wants the best
for us! - she
said,
understanding
that her
friend’s problem
might not be a
physical
illness.
The guest hung
her head and
began to cry
again, as she
realised that
she did not have
the habit of
praying, and
concluded:
- Every time I
ask God's help,
it never comes!
- You ask and do
not receive
help? What do
you mean,
Meire?! ... -
her friend asked
surprised.
- Everytime I go
to church, I ask
the priest to
pray for me.
- I get it. So
you yourself do
not pray. Don’t
you think that
if you are the
one who needs
it, you are the
one who must
seek this help?
Jesus said: Seek
and ye shall
find! But if we
do not seek, how
can we find it?
- You say that
because
certainly you
have never been
in need. But I
think I have
wasted too much
of your time
already.
And then she
recalled:
- How is your
daughter? She is
a lovely child!
Elza, seeing
that her friend
was interested,
invited her to
go see Julia,
who was playing
in her room,
which she
accepted. Once
outside the room
where the little
one was playing,
the mother
quietly opened
the door and
they saw the
girl sitting on
the floor with
her dolls and
stuffed animals.
The little girl
talked with her
toys and said:
- You guys must
have faith! Zuzu
is sick, but she
doesn’t want to
take her
medicine! I'll
say a prayer and
give Zuzu
healing. Keep
quiet while I
talk to our
friend Jesus!
|
And Julia began
to say a simple
prayer,
appropriate to
her age, but one
could notice
that she really
believed in what
she was saying:
- Dear friend
Jesus, cure Zuzu
because she is
not well, ok?
And may our
Spiritual
Friends give her
healing, so that
she will be well
soon. Thank you.
So be it!
That scene was
of a beauty so
touching, that
both the mother
and her guest
became emotional.
Finishing the
prayer, the girl
heard a noise
and turned
around. She
noticed that her
mother and her
|
 |
|
friend,
both
standing
by the
door,
were
watching
her, and
smiled: |
- Mommy! Hi,
Aunt Meire! I am
glad to see you
here! Mommy,
Zuzu had the flu
and a fever. I
said a prayer
and gave her
healing. Now she
is well again!
Right then Meire
understood. Her
problem was lack
of faith. She
hugged the girl,
who she was very
fond of, and
asked:
- Julia, could
you give me
healing?
- Of course,
aunt Meire!
Meire sat on the
carpet, to get
closer to the
girl and bowed
her head. The
mother seized
the oportunity
and also
elevated her
thoughts to the
higher spheres,
asking the
blessing of
Jesus for her
friend Meire,
while Julia
prayed and,
putting her
little hands
over Meire’s
head, gave her
healing.
When she was
done, the little
girl asked:
- Aunt Meire, do
you feel better?
At that moment,
Meire noticed
that she did not
feel bad anymore.
She was well,
calm and cured
of the thoughts
that plagued her
before! ...
She embraced the
little one with
lots of love and
tears in her
eyes, and said
firmly:
- My dear Julia!
I'm great!
Better than
ever! And I owe
it to you! Thank
you!
But Julia,
smiling,
replied:
- No, Aunt Meire.
The person who
gave you healing
was a very
pretty young
woman called
Renata!
At that moment,
surprised, Meire
asked what the
woman looked
like. And Julia,
looking up,
described her:
- She is thin,
tall,
long-haired and
said that she
has known you
since school!
Meire began to
cry and laugh at
the same time,
amazed and happy:
- Julia! This
woman and I were
friends at
school a long
time ago, but
she died. Thank
you for helping
me regain the
faith that I had
lost.
- Having faith
does you good,
aunt Meire!
The mother and
Meire laughed,
amused, but
believing it was
true what the
girl said. They
embraced and,
happily, spent
the day together,
chatting and
talking about
the blessing
that is faith in
our lives.
