A FRATERNAL SOLICITATION

Help, with your prayers, all those brothers and sisters: 

who never find the time or resources to be useful to anyone; 

who declare themselves affronted by ingratitude on all sides; 

whose eyes are cloaked in darkness and so see evil in all situations; 

who dream of a thousand castles in the clouds, but do not light one candle on the ground; 

who will only cooperate in the ivory tower of personal interest, unwilling to descend so as to collaborate with others; 

who believe themselves to have special missions and thus entitled to exceptional benefits; 

who use up precious time talking exclusively about themselves; 

who give up the process of learning from the human struggle; 

who never cease to find excuses for all their faults; 

who want to live like orchids in the living room of the world; 

who judge themselves to be the obligatory centres of general attention; 

who make a fetish of illness and obstacles. 

These are very sick people in need of Silent Help.
