Saudade shows that sometimes the past still imprisons us

* Luís Alberto Alves

Who never missed? When we listen to beautiful music, our heart and mind soon lead us to the past, especially when we were far from Jesus Christ.

For a long time of my life, the songs of the 1950s made me inebriated. It was as if it had floated. I thought what it would be like to live in those days. He wandered.

The funny thing is that it reminded of sad moments, like the plane crash that killed the trio Ritchie Valenz, Buddy Holly and Big Boper. I thought they should not have died so tragically.

Then I learned that the Devil uses this strategy to hold us back in the past, trying to keep us from moving on to the future, which is the dwelling place in Heaven beside Jesus Christ. Stay alert.
