I am aware I am part of a great brotherhood,

the brotherhood of the human race.

I know many of us do not consider ourselves brothers,

and also know they make a point of showing this.  

It seems such people think they created themselves

on their own, and are separate beings, not having

to report to anything or anyone.

By chance of fate, or by the route they have taken,

they missed appropriate parents and teachers  

for their upbringing, or, even worse, if they had,

were neither heard nor recognized.

I believe God attributes different gifts to each one,

and uses us to fulfill the common mission, that is

to live and let live, loving and respecting everyone,

as an indivisible group.

Unfortunately, some lack the right conscience, those

who are in fact disciples of evil, that permeates us.

But they are also in the Creator’s Plan, and,

when a strong cry for justice arises, they are used,

by firm divine mandate, as legitimate Avengers.

Lord of justice, God knows and sees everything,

and, in truth, sometimes, does not shy away from

forgiveness and kindness.  

We must believe we are part of a greater plan,

and need to show our best on this journey,

the return to the sixth day of that Saint Week  

of the Divine Creation.
