Heart: Friendship
Sirach 6: 14-16
1. The second Friendship God is the result of good heart. "He who fears the Lord is good procures friendship" Sirach 6, 17 What's the good heart if not to love? And it is precisely because he loves that is compassionate, devoted, kind, grateful? So the good-hearted and loving, gives himself, is moved. It is hot as a stove to heat many of which are frozen to death by the icy wind that blows in the world. There are days in everyone's life, cool in a special way. Days tired when you try to rest, difficult days, too sunny, you need refreshment, rest, security, comfort. Then they test the truth of the Scriptural word: "Whoever finds a friend finds a treasure. A faithful friend is powerful protection" cfr.Ecli. 6, 14. E 'strong support, not betray those who support it, he will gladly trust plans, hopes and fears. The fruits are then infinite and sweet.
2. The good heart is rewarded, Guaso always, will be loved in extent that she loves. What if sometimes your love falls upon an ungrateful earth, usually, at least, awaken the sympathies, is searched at least in days of sorrow. If nothing else, in exchange for a bitter and painful abandonment ingratitude, contains a lot and sweet consolations. The bad heart does not love: therefore it is not loved. Little by little is abandoned by all. Even if social conditions had many relationships, it is still left as to love. He did not support, nor any relies on him. She has no one to confide in, nor any confides in him. Nobody protects and often misled by deceitful insinuations.
3. Lord, I conclude that I must endeavor to lead, sanctifying, ruling and governing my heart. It can be a breeding ground of flowers and scented beads, and can also be a den of poisonous snakes and disgusting. It should not atrophy of its business, but must be capable of the most generous impulses toward the good and beautiful things. Not only do I avoid having a bad heart, but I can not even bear to have a heart callous, indifferent. I have to develop all those feelings that make the good heart.

Heart
Do not do instead of friend, foe the next, because the evil will have as part of disgrace and shame, and so every sinner envious and double-speaking. Do not raise the thoughts of your heart as a bull, that your virtue will not remain overwhelmed by the stupidity, and it does not devour your leaves, do not dissipate your fruit and not stay as dry plant in the desert. The evil soul will ruin its owner, will make him the object of joy pei his enemies and brought them to the fate of the wicked ( Sirach 6, 1-4 )
1. The heart is the well-guarded treasure of man's heart is diverted man's ruin and shame. "Corruptio optimi bad." E 'diverted behind when you lose fake love and friendships sensuali.L 'pure friendship is full of nobility and fertility, but friendship is a shameful and sinful carnal counterfeit. It 'a fever physical and moral, if he comes to the climax, it burns the flesh, eyes spitting fire, the movements are broken down, the head is lost. Then the beloved occupies the whole being, and often even in sleep. The need of his presence is felt, extending futile talks, it makes up for when they are prevented, with memories, pictures, letters ... and maybe you will come to criminal freedom. The sensual love is blind. You lose time in visits, on the concerns, we study new encounters. The heart is disturbed, the ideas are disrupted, and life is disoriented.
2. And how did ? According to the characters: the blood rush, the phlegmatic is slow, the lazy, the greedy, the sentimental prepare the way almost unconsciously. Readings, performances, looks, etc.. I'ultima damage boost. The heart seeks an idol will not be chosen according to the goodness, the location, commitment, beauty ... but according to a frivolous whim. Those who fall into these bad friends loses his time, his fortune, reputation, virtue, also comes to the scandal. Loses time: do not become more serious studies, they forget or do badly the duties of the state. The woman who left her to lose heart, do not care more nor husband, nor children, nor the home. He lost the fortune: the reason is more serene and often inconsiderate are expenses to maintain the habit, even human wisdom suffers. He loses his reputation: the first is shock, then the suspects, the judgments, the displeasure is felt, and finally kill all the recriminations esteem and destroy every good social influence. Religion and virtue are sinking. It started perhaps by the spirit, and we ended in the flesh. Says S. Augustine: "The spiritual love often creates the warm, affectionate generates the deferential, obsequious to generate the family, the family generates the flesh." So the scandal is clear: the corpse is now stinking. And more and more from the fall is makes noise and damage. The position requires more of a moral virtue, the more the damage of the scandal are broad and deep.
3. Lord, who will then, if innocent lives were disturbed, failures, deflowered? We are open furrows not easily filled into the defect. The threats against the scandalous, recorded in the Gospel, are divine and terrible. The religion itself slows down then every constraint: the soul is not of God, God is no longer with the soul. My God, that I should study to preserve at all costs from the heart And if I'm noticing that naufragiol to be on the china, I lift him up with any sacrifice.
Prayer

Lord, I am a man, and as a man I have a fickle and sensitive heart. I must exercise before any impression pienae a successful mastery over me. I had also cut his hand, cutting his foot, tearing the eye, I have to cut because there is only one dilemma:
or live or die. I offer You, O Lord, this heart. I intend to give it to you every day, protect him. Defend us, O Lord, as the apple of the eye, protect us under the shadow of your wings.
