This Is Going to Get Much Worse

Everyone is saying it, in the street, in the lines, on social media, everywhere!: this is going to get much worse. Some show fear, others anguish, others uncertainty about what may happen in 2014, 2015, 2016…

But do you want me to tell you something? This government, which wants to sow terror (as they have done in Cuba for more than 50 years), will not succeed in letting fear, anguish or uncertainty destroy our will to fight and keep working to reach a new road, full of values!, in this stage of our history, which has been marked by inefficiency and corruption never seen anywhere in the world.

I always think of what my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law (experts in politics) told me about ten years ago: only when the people who put them there wake up and realize the harm being done to their families will those same people take care of removing them from where they put them.

And do you want me to tell you something? Every day I am prouder of our people, and every day I see more people who have woken up and have at last! unmasked this regime. These good people, who want the best for their children, will reach a point where they can’t take it anymore and will demand a change of course.

How will it happen? No idea. When will it happen? Nobody knows. Is it a long way off? Is it close? We don’t know! The only thing I do know is that every day I meet more people who are giving their soul, their life and their heart, working for a road that leads us to live in progress, justice, freedom and Peace for all.

Will I see that change? I don’t know. But what I do know, because Jesus Christ himself says so, is that each of us will have to give an account of what we did on this earth. And that good will always, always! triumph over evil. And I also know that the more harm those in power do, the more they will have to answer for before God, and I don’t even want to imagine what God’s judgment of them will be like.

Meanwhile, millions of us here keep our heads held high and without fear, because we fear no one, and fear nothing before God. Because whoever acts before God, doing good to their neighbor, will never have reason to fear anything. And when I say anything, I mean nothing at all! Because if God is with us, what should we fear?

So if harder times are coming, we will endure them, trying to be cheerful and trying always! to sow peace and joy around us.

I know that God and the Blessed Virgin are happy to see how many people are resisting the powerful, the greedy, the corrupt and the incompetent. Whatever they do, whatever they say, their days are numbered, and they know it!, because sooner or later, whenever God wills, they will have to answer before God. That time and that power are beyond their control; we have seen that clearly.

So we are not frightened by their incompetence, their threats or their shameless corruption. Sooner or later everything is paid for. Too bad for them that, as we read in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, God does not allow Lazarus to come back to this earth to warn the rich man’s brothers and friends that whoever lives doing evil pays for it later, and pays for it in a place few people like to name: hell.

May God have mercy on all those who have already passed into the next life after doing so much harm to our nation. God grant that those who are still alive may reconsider, repent in time, ask forgiveness for their sins and make amends for all the evil they have done.

Meanwhile, here we remain, ready for whatever times may come. But praying and fighting with all our strength, even if we have to give our lives in the struggle.
