Have you heard about the theological virtues? There are three: Faiths, Hope, and Charity. To illustrate, let's tell the story of the Boat of Life. Based on the IGTV live from @adriellelopes_efata from 01/18/2021 and the IGTV live from @colodedeus under the title Ca + fé com Jesus from 01/19/2021.
"Attention, passenger, for boarding to Life".
It seems like yesterday I boarded and heard that message. Nine months of pure calm. After that always appears a storm.
But the captain from the boat always calms them down. Me? I am not the captain. In desperation I enter the control cabin and what happens? A very warm drink and a affection to sleep. And when I wake up I'm stronger and ready to carry out the captain's designs.
Most of the time I am here at the bow raising and lowering the anchor.
The anchor is Hope. Hope that everything my captain said will happen. Hope in a time with less storms. Hope in God. And with that Hope I hope for Eternal Life.
At least once a day I go to the stern to fill the engine. Fuel? Prayer. The Engine is Faith. And Faith feeds on Prayer. And just as we feed her. She drives us. Set us in motion.
But where to go? That's where Charity comes in. Charity is the Timon of that boat. From her and through it we know where to go.
And the pilot? Jesus. He who has control of that boat. I didn't say here that he does everything himself. If I don't power the engine and don't lower and raise the anchor when I need to. We drift. Then the waves take.
Jesus is in control, but I have to be attentive to carry out his designs like a good sailor.
And at every port we meet new boats with new stories.
