It is common to hear someone who is always complaining about being always called to sustain the others.

This call to work for the good can occur in the most diverse environments.

Among family members, it is invariably elected to assist the poorer relatives, the elderly or infirm.

At work, it is the one elected to deal with a colleague angry or moody.

Or yet are the beggars that go for him with remarkable frequency.

The elected constantly for the rescue service does not always understand or like what happens.

But there is a Gospel passage that may help you understand these events.

In it, Jesus sent the seventy disciples in mission, two by two, to a variety of locations.

They returned rejoicing, for all they had managed to do in name of the Lord.

But Christ said that they should not be so happy because even the Spirits were subjected to them.

The joy should come for having their names written in Heaven.

Concerning this passage, the Superior Spirituality gives us a touching explanation.

According to it, in the spiritual plane the behavior of all men is carefully observed.

Sometimes it is possible to identify someone that practices charity, is useful, loves or acts with fervor on its duties.

Then, as an order of the Lord of Life, this man´s name is written down by the Good Spirits.

In an emergency, they know whom to ask for help.

When someone needs support, they inspire that man to approach the human being that has already learned to be supportive.

The sick, the poor and disinherited of the world will always need support and understanding.

Those who carry significant emotional imbalances also need someone who will listen to them with kindness.

Occurs that is not the healthy who need medicine, but the sick.

Thus, the creature, whit intimate favorable conditions, is often called to give their aid to these needy brethren.

It is through it that the Divine Providence manifests on Earth.

It is worth reflecting on this, before complaining when someone asks for some assistance.

Maybe this request means that your name has been written in the book of Heaven.

It is an event that deserves to be celebrated, never regretted.

What a joy to be deemed worthy of the good fight.

Among the many who hurt and suffer, it is a blessing to have a position to help.

However, if you have not developed the habit of listening, assisting and understanding, you can start now.

Be willing to work closely for the good and slowly the opportunities will appear.

Find out the pleasure of being an instrument of the Divine Mercy on Earth.

When work grows around you, when you are constantly called to give, be merry.

Your name was written in the book of Heaven!
