The prophecy that our Lord
donated to us
will produce its outcome today, tomorrow and forever
if we have faith, and if we are humble and open,
like men and women of prayer.
We become a prophecy ourselves
when we are able to interpret
the signs of the times,
when we are attentive to the needs
of those we meet
and when we put our neighbours
first.
The doors of our Arsenals
are always open
to give hope to whoever may come,
to welcome them, listen to them and take care of them.
For us,
it is always like the first time:
the same emotion
of helping someone else
before thinking of ourselves.
Our neighbour before us:
this is the key of communication,
through facts and not just words,
of the love we experience
and thus the key to open hearts to hope.
«The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”» (Matthew 16, 1-4).
