There are many paths ... Quiet, full of flowers, smooth, or calm paths.

Tortuous, difficult, full of obstacles, harsh, and difficult paths.

Easy paths that lead to deep abysses, like open canyons in the green jungle.

Unknown paths that lead to immeasurable heights along the mountain.

Pathways of mud after torrential rain. Arid paths in the land burdened by the burning sun.

Rough paths full of weeds and thorns. Short paths. Long paths.

In fact, all paths have something in common: they allow the traveler to get somewhere.

Thus, the most important is not to choose it for its beauty, ease or length. The most important thing is to know where one intends to get.

On Earth we all walk through different paths: the paths of convenience, pleasures, and comfort. The short and easy paths are the ones that lead people to the entrance door to the abysses of passions.

There are those who selfishly prefer walking alone and get upset after the exhaustive running.

Evil ones follows suspicious trails and gets lost in the shadows.

Those who follow the good follow the paths of hope and become enlightened. These are pathways of difficulties, torments and trouble. Thorny and difficult paths that give access to ports of peace.

They are the ones that allow man to reach the upper levels of the good that never dies and the love that lasts forever.

Charity doers choose paths toward constant action for the good of the others and reach hapiness.

The choice is individual and each one performs it in accordance with the dreams and ideals cherished in the soul and the values they carry in their intimacy.

To achieve brief and fugacious happiness or to reach everlasting joy is a personal decision.

In the diversity of so many directions, men are disturbed or become free.

However, there is nobody that follows the paths of Jesus and does not reach the intended destination: complete happiness.

Today, as yesterday, Jesus, the incomparable Master, keeps calling on his flock, hoping to attract all to Himself.

His invitation is perennial for us to be surrounded by Him enjoying piece, reaching hope and always working.

Faced with the lack of time we all complain about, and given the many daily doings, one must stop to review and rethink Jesus.

To return to His paths and to walk them with tenderness is an urgent human task.

In doing so, we will certainly experience the warmth of His presence and the presence of His love.

No one can choose other paths and be happy without Jesus.
