"[1] Take heed your good works before men to be seen of them, otherwise you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
[2] When So you give alms, sound no trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets to be praised by men. Verily I say unto you, they have received their reward. [3] But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth, [4] so that your alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret will reward you.
[5] When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites who love to pray standing in synagogues and at street corners to be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, they have received their reward. [6] But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to the Father Your in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. "
(Mt 6, 1-6)
In recent months, I often think of this passage from the Gospel of Matthew.
As a Catholic I am very annoyed by the use that every day is because of religion, especially in the political circles and in so-called "power".
A religion increasingly facade, used to show off as perfect Christians and continue the crusades in the name of a god, do not think I need to say, is all 'other than the God in whom I trust.
fervent Catholics now swarm in our television and in newspapers, blindly defending the values \u200b\u200bthey do not know blank firing decisions without leaving a chance to reply.
Religion has become, for many, a medal to be presented in a cool, shiny stelletta that allows access to the rooms of the highest buildings. Crosses
data free as election advertising like ornaments to wear distinctive symbols that identify and give power over the "different" on anyone who does not think the same way.
consider it blasphemy to use the cross as a symbol of superiority, that same cross on which Jesus died just for having considered all men equal on Earth.
I am disgusted to see people cover themselves with slimy false Christianity, false values, filling his mouth with words empty and hypocritical, to use faith as a range with which to show off in front of others ... it sucks this religion of plastic.
What, then, actually linked to the Catholic world who think of nothing except earning power, exploiting the pain and poverty for others to show off themselves, using their Christianity a pass as eager to stretch their tentacles as a small (not too) "mafia of the cross"?
E 'useless to pray aloud in the street, then in silence if you make only their own interests .. consider the lust for power, the total abortion of the message of Christ.
do not consider myself a perfect Christian, nor I guess I never will be, but I can not stand these "believers higher" rise to the role of the banner of Catholicism. I consider them
ugali these hypocrites standing in the synagogues that use prayer to make a good impression of oneself, which are just begging to get in light and power to win support among the people.
Why Catholics must see themselves represented, despite themselves, by such people? Why do you continue to accept this debasement of religion, this rape of what you believe?
Persons who make faith a way to take power, I'd like to say one sentence in the face, to know what they would have to be answered:
"If one would be first, be last of all and servant of all "
Is not this the gospel in which they say they believe?
mysteries of the faith .. ..
