Dear children, With great joy I come to you to talk about a very interesting topic:  wisdom. We can talk about human wisdom which can be got along the time by learning and experience.  But I would like to talk a little more about the wisdom that comes from the divine word and the preparation of our souls for the day of the Lord. In his great mercy the heavenly Father has placed us in His work of salvation.  We have been chosen by his grace and we have been made children of God through the baptism and the Sealing with the Holy Spirit.  We are preparing ourselves for the return of Jesus.  Therefore, those who are wise will take advantage of the time of grace that God gives us.  Where does this wisdom come from? From the Word of God that we listen to in every Divine Service from the altar of the Lord.  Through His word, the heavenly Father teaches us and makes us wise, so that we can be forever with him sharing His glory. Isn’t it beautiful to live forever with God? In the Holy Bible we can find some examples of this wisdom.  There you have Abigail, who through her wisdom calmed down David and prevented him from fighting against her husband Nabal (compare with Samuel 25:23-27). There are some lessons to learn from these examples. This also makes us wiser.  Jesus has given us some examples easy to put into practice.  If we behave in this way, with joy and with living faith, God will consent us and soon we will be able to be part of the kingdom that Jesus has prepared for us.
The Bishop José Antonio Bonaite is active together with the Bishop Carlos Alberto Caleri in Brazil.  There, he is in service for 30 children in three different communities in the district Nº 22 in Sao Pablo. The Amazon is the longest river in South America.  It is 6,518 meters long.  This river usually overflows washing the surrounding rainforests and generating a unique habitat for animals and exotic plants.  The flooded areas are called “varzeas”.

Due to the visit of the Chief Apostle to conduct the Divine Service in San Pablo, and before it, the children from the Sunday School happily welcomed the first Servant of God to Brazil with the hymn “ How beautiful is to be Apostolic” which was very moving.  The picture shows the children with the Chief Apostle. Later, before starting the Service, he also visited two adjoining halls and greeted the mothers with children who assisted the service via video.   Dear  children, Some circumstances in the life may you doubt about your beliefs. Everyone has, once in a while, a feeling of disappointment.  It would be great if we could avoid this experience.  But we can trust in our Lord, as he never disappoints us.  Do you know the promise of God?  The promise of the Eternal Life!  Do you know why this promise will be honoured?  Because it was our Lord who made it.  He accepted the crucifixion for us, and through this he showed us all the immense love he has for us.   Due to this demonstration of love we should deny any doubt in our life of prayer.   Jesus Christ has made many miracles that can be read in the 4 gospels.  For example, he healed sick people, gave the sight back to the blind, rose  Lazarus from the death.  And he made all this in the name of his Father to show the people that he was the son of God and that he had come to redeem their souls. In those times many people could not believe that he was the Messiah sent by God. For this reason he had to make many miracles.  Are there miracles still today?  Many people ask.   My dear children, today the miracles exist. If we listen to the Lord’s word in your house and we keep it in our heart , we’ll have the enough strength to hold a life of prayer.  Another miracle is that we can be children of God and that we have received the Holy Spirit.  Is not a miracle that we wake up healthy every morning and that we can perceive our family’s and our brothers’ love?   In the Gospel of  St. John we can read about Thomas, who did not believe that Jesus had risen from the death and that he had manifested himself to the disciples.  Suddenly Jesus manifested to Thomas and asked him to reach his hand into his wounds.  Then, Thomas recognized his Lord and Jesus told him   “ blessed are they that have not seen and yet believed”.  This is a  lesson for all of us.  We should not doubt what from the  Lord comes, he promised to take us with him and to give us eternal life.    (+)  The Bishop Milczuk works in the area of the District Apostle Guillermo Vilor, together with the Apostle  Carlos Caleri in the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Mina Gerais  and Bahia, and also in the Capital of Brazil, Brasilia.  In this 23 communities we have 350 children.
