The little stone

Today, in the Bible introduction that Brother Pedro gave, he mentioned a small story.

We all already had a very small and tiny stone inside our shoe. The pain that we felt when we tried to walk with that small piece of stone contacting our feet sole is huge. The same happens when we try to carry the small sins in our lives.

They are so minimal and so insignificant comparing to everything, but the pain that it causes is at some time almost unbearable.

So our little faults with ourselves and with the next one.

A little lie, or a small offense seem so harmless in the beginning, but bi letting it grow and accumulate in our soul, we make then unbearable, and painful.

Yesterday I took the sacrament of confession. I believe that the last time that I had it was more then 1.5 year ago.

It seems so ridiculous to confess our faults to another person, and my particular case to a priest, but by doing it, we open our heart to the other. And become more humble to do it that way compared to only confess it directly to God or to yourself (if you aren't a believer).

That small action that I've taken last night it was very important to feel more connected with everything and everyone.

Today is my last day in Taizé. It is for sure one place that I always keep in my heart,and that I will always strive to return.
