How many murderers of the soul live free and without chains

Text in the picture:

It is not necessary to hit someone to hurt them.

One word hurts!

Silence hurts!

Indifference hurts!

Ignorance hurts!

Contempt hurts!

36. People, people you all bump into each other!

I have seen you deny your wickedness and boast of what you think

is great while hiding your eyesores. But I tell you that the person who considers himself praiseworthy in his apparent size is a poor soul. And I have to say to those who, because of a lack of virtues, blaspheme about other people's mistakes and judge foreign mistakes, that they are

hypocrites and far from justice and truth.

37. Murderers are  not only those who take the life of the body, but also those who tear the heart through slander. Those who kill the feelings of the heart, the faith, the ideal are murderers of the soul. And how many of them live free, without prison and without chains.

38. Do not be surprised that I speak to you in this way, because I see homes

destroyed among you because, disregarding your duties, you have made

new commitments outside of them without worrying about the pain and

abandonment of your relatives. Look around, how many destroyed homes

are there, how many women in the truck, and how many children without

a father. How could tenderness and love exist in those hearts?

Don't you think that the one who killed the happiness of those people and

destroyed what was sacred is a criminal?

39. You have become so used to evil that you yourself call the people who

 invent these new death weapons great because they can destroy millions

of lives in an instant. And you even call them scholars. Where is your reason?

One can only be great through the spirit and only taught who walks on

the path of truth.

40. Do not confuse the warmongers with the great geniuses, so that you

do not give your admiration to those who have only evil in their soul, even

if they show an outward dignity that they do not have. If for a moment you

heard the voice of reason and conscience, it would knock it off its pedestal.

But the degenerate is not interested in recognizing himself as he is, and if he

sees for a moment the miserable person he carries within himself, he prefers

to focus his thoughts on something else. It makes him uncomfortable to

recognize and evaluate his mistakes.

41. Oh people of the earth, when will you finally hear the message of that

inner voice of conscience that rises at every turn to accuse you of your

unworthy deeds.

42. You listen to Me agitated, because ─ when the truthfulness of Christ

speaks ─ man falls silent in the knowledge of his indebtedness.

43. Today I inspired you to save the woman who has stumbled on her way;

and if you then show Me the one you saved, I will give her a flower, blessing

and very great peace so that she does not fall again.

44. If you accomplish this task so, those who have been wounded by the

world will feel the love of Jesus entering their hearts.

45. I will hear it when they say to me in their prayers: "My father, do not

look at my sin, just look at my pain. Do not judge my depravity, only look

at my suffering." At that moment my consolation will descend on that tormented

heart, and it will cleanse itself with tears. If only you knew that the prayer of

the sinner is felt more strongly than that of the proud who considers

himself just and pure.
