Times of trouble

Our community cultivates

great humanity

towards those friends

who are living a period of vulnerability,

be it physical, psychological or spiritual,

or who are suffering from illness,

living their old age,

or are weaken by the service they did for others.

No-one should be abandoned to themselves

or removed from our community.

We should always keep our hearts

and our minds open

to find the right ways to welcome each other.

Our fraternal love and friendship

cannot vanish

in times of trouble.

And when death takes

a member of our community,

this brother or sister

who reaches the House of the Lord

keeps being present,

as if they just moved to another Arsenal of ours, in heaven.

Together, we keep

fighting so that there is more love from God

and more justice among men.

We keep wishing for

new heavens and a new earth.

 

«Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”» (Revelation 21, 1-4)
