Vice and drug addiction

The spark that illuminated the eyes of many children today has vanished, and we see more often, waves of youth who yield to the seduction of drugs, alcohol and vices.

This is not new, it is history that is lost in time's annals, and today the news knocks on our doors regularly that young ones have taken the wrong path trying to forget their problems, and evading reality with the stupefying of their senses, instead of finding a real and lasting solution.

We all know that the cause of these problems that the youth is facing around the world are the lack of love, insecurity, lack of communication within the family, loneliness, abandonment, fear, lack of faith; to all of which we have contributed with our lack of spirituality.

"I am speaking to the heart of man, exhorting him toward regeneration, making him understand the damage to the body caused by the vices, and the harm that befalls the spirit. I have said to you that a man who allows himself to be dominated by a vice, has forgotten that the spirit must never be defeated; he has forgotten that the true fortitude consists of destroying evil with virtue". T 312:33

It is not by locking up our children in crystal bubbles where nothing can touch them that we can avoid for temptations and vices to reach them, nor by hiding from their eyes the darkness, which is present in the world. The way to help them not to fall in all that is hazardous to their bodies and spirits is through knowledge of the Divine Teachings, through development of virtues and gifts. It is there that our youth can find the weapons that give them strength and self esteem. But remember that there is no better way to teach than through example.

"Combat the superfluous, fight against the impurity. You must be aware that the vices of the world hinder the senses of the spirit, preventing him from penetrating into the most elevated mansions. If you learn to live the true life, I say to you, that wherever you are or wherever you go, with your presence, you shall convert everything into a paradise of peace. T 272:66

It is important that it is not enough not to do bad, but we must do good; it is not enough to say; "we don't have any vices", but we should help those who have them. Our duty as workers of the Lord is to guide those who have lost their bearings, it is to help them understand that no matter how deep they have fallen, the love of God will always be greater than their weakness to lift them. We should not talk tot hem about their defects, but of their virtues. If we can accomplish to aid them in obtaining spirituality in their lives, we shall give them courage and strength needed so that they do not fall into an abysm.
