Fall and Rise
Chapter 29

4. “Every day I fall,
but every day I stand up.”
Chico Xavier*
* Book: Chico Xavier Prayers

5. Maybe, when you
face this chapter,
you've fallen somehow.
Fallen into a bed, the
victim of atrocious
disease. Fallen in
prison, sentenced to
despair.

6. Fallen on guilt, stuck to the judgment of
own conscience. Fallen in solitude by the
abandon of the beloved. Fallen into nostalgia
by the leaving of a loved one. Fallen in
failure for an opportunity that was lost ....

7. Whatever the reason we find
ourselves lying on the ground of inertia or
despair, the lesson that Chico Xavier
offers us is to get up as soon as possible.
This is because if
we remain fallen,
will do anything
for the benefit of
ourselves.

8. The time of the fall does not symbolize what
we are, nor represents the end of our life. It's just a
photograph that registers a particular moment, but
that does not define the next scenes that will make
the movie of our existence.

9. Let us not allow our lives to stop
on that picture. Let’s not be parked in
grief, guilt, shame, despair and fear of
living.

10. Let's return to life. Let the film roll,
let’s depart for other pictures, new
scenes, as this will only happen if you
stand up with courage and faith.

11. Any fall may represent pain and shame for
any of us. However, in the evolutionary stage
in which we find on the planet, only Jesus
had strong legs not to fall morally ...
Our legs are
still weak that the
fall will strengthen.

12. Jesus is standing his hands to us,
inviting us to raise right now. We should
not wait by will.
Do what it needs to be done, the desire
always come later.

13. The end
