40._ Vindications and compassion

Thus we understand, then, the words of Jesus: "Fortunate the poor men, those that cry, the hungry ones", in reference to all the men, not to an underprivileged class.
It is truth that there is much reason for the vindications demanded by the marginalized ones, they are very justified the resentments and the rebellions of the opressed and impoverished in our society throughout history; it is evident that we cannot compare the victims with their tormenters; it would be absolutely mistaken to try to conform the opressed ones with the future salvation not to do justice now to them.

But we are here in front of two different perspective, two different scales. Those criteria of liberation, those vindicatives fights, form part of the natural humanist ethics, the one that is born of the spirit of immanent God in the humanity, the one that collaborates to impel the cosmic process towards God becoming human purpose of justice; but it is not the specific ethics of the Redemption, because this one does not take care of historical realities, temporary, but to the inner secret of each person, to offer to him compassionate, "from you to you", with the love of which only God is able, the occasion of the repentance and the indulgence, the opportunity to return to be born for the good of himself.

Who boasts of wealth --material or not-- that is really smallest, absolutely despicable to wise and objective eyes --to the eyes of God--, he is certainly very poor, but he does not become aware of it and in this it resides his greater poverty: "an inner" poverty. Jesus calls to recognize this poverty, to being a "spirit poor" man --is to say conscious--, to put the heart in other wealth to which "it does not corrode the moth", to become to the true wisdom to gain an imperishable treasure.

In this transformation we have to find the well-being; in changing from inner poor man to internally rich, sinner to saint, hedonist to prudent, unjust to just, cruel to compassionate. We have to change our closed criteria and perspective by those of God.
