In the morning hours, open your channels of communication with the Superior Spirits for the necessary loving encouragement that will inspire the tasks to be accomplished that day. At that time, pray for all humanity, for family and acquaintances, and with the needed serenity, bless the ones immersed in crisis and despair.

Then, go through your daily living distributing blessings in the form of caring, attention and service, support and good counseling to others, while you perform the duties of your day.

In the matter of atonement that another human being is experiencing, give him/her all possible help, but continue to move on, as other opportunities of service will appear along the way and it is absolutely necessary that we maintain our serenity.

We have to avoid imprisoning ourselves mentally to the pains and difficulties of others. Do your part, and in your moments of respite and regrouping, take a rest, and just pray for them. Be open to the moment ahead of you and don’t chain yourselves to past issues, where the efforts to help have been accomplished for that circumstance. There certainly will be a time, if called for, for another round of fraternal assistance in the continuation of the help we have already given.

At night, after a day of plenty of good deeds, we will certainly have spiritual reunions of great happiness. If we apply ourselves in our endeavors, we will earn the merit to participate in the banquet of blessings, served generously by Jesus to all His loyal servants.
