Comfort the despairing. You yourself will not escape the temptations of discouragement within the circles of struggle.
Lift the fallen. You do not know where your own feet will stumble.
Extend your hand to those who in need of support. Your day for receiving cooperation will arrive.
Help the sick. Your own soul is not using an invulnerable body.
Make an effort to understand the less enlightened companion. Know that you do not always have the necessary means for understanding as could be desired.
Be sympathetic towards the unfortunate. The sky will not always be sunny for you.
Be tolerant and patiently help the ignorant. Remember that there are Sublime Spirits that tolerate us and help us with heroic kindness.
Console the downhearted. You cannot foresee the surprises of your own destiny.
Help the offender with your good thoughts. He teaches us how hostile and disagreeable we are when we hurt someone else.
Be kind to those dependent upon you. Do not forget that Christ himself was compelled to obey.
Excerpted from Chapter 15 of "Christian Agenda" - Chico Xavier (by the Spirit André Luiz)
