Yesterday, a young man shocked me with the news of his traveling. He went to an institution abroad that accepted him for a job. Everything was indicating that he had set out to dedicate his life to God. What happened? I do not give up hope. There are friends of mine who had preceded him in this choice in the past, and the Lord has brought them back to the service of His temple. The Lord knows those to whom He has given a part in the ministry. I would not be randomly calling the young people to serve the temple of God if I said openly that the Church deserves that we give her everything. I know that our Church, and even all the Churches, need to be reformed. I have a friend from another Church who can't get enough of singing: "Lord, give us holy priests". I am mentioning her word because of a belief I had revealed to you several times before, that reforming Churches is impossible without reconciling with them. I would like to tell the young man who had traveled: “do not be late. The work truly is great”!
