In joy and pain

* Luís Alberto Alves

Today we live a gospel that ignores pain. It places in the head of people that with Christ everything is joy. We'll never cry again. We enter the best of the worlds. Many go to church and soon leave, when the first bombs of difficulties burst. Equally spoiled children accustomed to nursing on Mom's lap, do not risk taking the first step. They do not know that in pain, it is when Jesus Christ is teaching us to keep our feet.
