Caio had come
home sad and
afflict. At
school a
classmate was
constantly
bullying him.
He did not want
to eat lunch
that day because
he was not
hungry so Caio
went to his room
and laid down on
his bed. His
mother, who had
seen him arrive,
called him to
lunch but he
said he did not
feel hungry.
She knew that he
should be in his
room as it was
there where he
would usually
took refuge
whenever he had
a problem. His
mother decided
to respect his
decision. After
lunch she would
go find out what
was happening to
her youngest son.
After the rest
of the family
had finished
their lunch, she
fixed Caio a
plate and took
it to his room.
She opened the
door with a
smile and asked:
- Caio! Are you
hungry already,
dear?
- No, mom. I do
not want to eat
now.
- But it's
delicious, Caio!
I made those
potato dumplings
you love plus
your favourite
vegetable salad.
Get up and eat
some!
Sad, Caio began
to cry. He
covered his face
while tears fell
uncontrollably.
His mother
hugged him and
put him on her
lap, full of
affection:
- What happened,
honey? Did you
fight with
anyone?
The boy began to
cry even more.
The mother, with
him still on her
lap, said:
- Caio! Nothing
that happens has
the right to
take the peace
from our heart!
What happened?
The boy cried a
little more then
explained:
- Roberto is
always bullying
me! I do not
understand why
he does it! It
seems like he
wants to torment
me, you know?
The mother
thought about it
for a moment
then explained:
- Caio, you are
a child of peace,
you are always
well with
everyone. And
maybe that's
what he cannot
stand! Maybe he
wants to be like
you but cannot!
That's why he
gets angry and
irritated! Try
to keep your
peace which is
precious. Even
if someone wants
to take your
calm from you,
do nothing.
Maybe your
classmate cannot
stand exactly
that. He wants
to see you
suffer like him,
you see?
- Maybe you're
right, Mom.
Roberto likes to
annoy everyone!
- Then try to
keep your heart
calm and always
avoid fighting.
Think that
whoever hurts
you is in need
of peace.
Maintain your
tranquility and
kindness at all
times.
Caio nodded
agreeing with
his mother, who
then continued:
- Sweetheart,
try to help him!
Remember that
Nature respects
the law of
balance and
seeks to keep it
always.
The boy raised
his head
remembering
something and
smiled.
- Mom, sometimes
he even hides my
books, forcing
me to look for
them! I know he
does it to make
me angry but I
do not care. I
laugh!
The mother
smiled at the
words of her son
who kept his
cool always.
- Caio, you're a
treasure! - she
said, hugging
him with
infinite love.
Then, holding
him close to her
loving heart,
she said:
- Try to always
remember that
even when
everyone is mad
with rage, our
planet Earth
keeps
unperturbed and
the Sun, God's
gift to us,
keeps blazing in
space!
She looked up at
the sky through
the open bedroom
window and
concluded:
- Living is
common to all
but living in
peace with
oneself is
reserved for the
few.
 |
The
little
boy
hugged
his
mother
and
nodded
in
agreement:
- I got
it, Mom.
When
people
are not
at peace
they
want to
push us
to the
same
path. I
feel
sorry
for them
and I'm
going to
pray to
Jesus to
protect
them
always!...
The
mother
hugged
her son,
her eyes
filled
with
tears:
- Dear
Caio, I
always
thank
God, our
Father,
for the
wonderful
son He
sent me.
May you
always
continue
this way,
spreading
peace
everywhere!
The next day
Caio arrived at
school and saw
|
|
Roberto coming
to meet him. He
stopped, looked
at him, and
smiled, then
they walked
through the gate
together. |
Roberto, looking
sad, said:
- Caio,
could
you
forgive
me for
what I
did to
you
yesterday?
- I have
nothing
to
forgive,
Roberto.
I
understand
how you
feel...
His
classmate
began to
cry and
Caio had
him sit
on a
remote
bench so
that no
one
could
see him
crying.
Then,
putting
his hand
on the
boy’s
arm, he
said:
-
Roberto,
you must
be
unhappy,
my
friend,
|
 |
|
and I
understand. |
|
- Caio, can you
forgive me for
the times I hurt
you? In fact, my
parents are not
well and want to
separate! What
will become of
us? I do not
want to see my
family fall
apart! This is
killing me... I
feel anger
inside me!...
- Roberto, my
parents always
say that we need
to pray hard to
keep the peace
in and out of
our home. Let's
go to my house.
My mom will help
us, I'm sure!
Roberto accepted
and they went to
Caio's house.
The mother, on
seeing them
arrive, was
surprised but
Caio explained
that Roberto was
not well and
would like a
prayer.
The mother sat
down with the
boys in the
living room,
then elevated
her thought by
saying a prayer
to Jesus and
asking Him to
bless Roberto's
family so that
all would be
well and peace
would return to
that home. When
she finished,
Roberto felt
better and was
grateful for the
help he had
received.
The next day,
when they met
again, Roberto
told Caio that
his parents were
going to stay
together and
that made him
very happy.
- That’s thanks
to the prayer
your mother said,
Caio! Now all is
well again!
And they
exchanged a long
hug, sealing the
friendship that
had finally
grown between
them.
