Most people do not know that the cemeteries are in us. If you ask about them, they still direct you to the outskirts of their villages or to special places in the cities. Most people are unaware that the greatest cemetery is in my belief that, in life, I exist for myself. The story of the ten virgins amazes me, of whom five were wise and five foolish (Matthew 25:1-13). The scandal of ignorance lies in this self-sufficiency. Why only five were wise? This is not only to deplore the many who are neglectful, but also to remember that our salvation is always possible. Refer to the parable of the virgins. We have two dialogues in it, one between the virgins themselves, showing an aspect of the wisdom of the wise ones, and the second between the bridegroom and the foolish ones. The powerful word in the second dialogue is in the saying of the bridegroom: \u201cI do not know you\u201d; while the commandment of the proverb is open to the world: \u201cwatch\u201d, that is, do not get tired of the giving of love. This is the demolition of cemeteries, yesterday, today and tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
