Love transforms even the most difficult tasks into expressions of divine life. In giving ourselves, we discover true joy and fulfillment.

Putting Love First

Even while still on this earth, you can have the experience, in the gift of yourself, in putting love into practice, divine life grows within you. After you have spent your whole day at the service of others, after having learned to transform your daily work, which is perhaps monotonous and difficult, into an expression of love, you will experience the joy of feeling satisfied, more fulfilled as a person.

Not Viral, Still Vital

Viral doesn’t always mean valuable. Sometimes the quietest view carries the greatest impact.

Even one silent viewer can mean everything.

Scroll through your feed and you’ll see—viral doesn’t always mean valuable. Some content gets millions of views but carries no depth. Meanwhile, there are creators posting things that truly matter… but hardly anyone notices.

This is not new. Long ago, there was a man named Ezekiel. God told him: Speak My words to them, whether they listen or not. No likes, no shares, no hype—just conviction. He kept “posting” anyway.

And history repeated itself. Another storyteller came along. Not popular, not trending. He simply shared short, profound stories that carried meaning. He wasn’t out to please crowds. His work was for those willing to truly listen.

His follower count? Just twelve. And one of them even unfollowed. By numbers, that was not impressive. Not viral.

Yet in that quiet space, one silent viewer appeared. Someone hidden in the crowd, watching quietly. No reactions, no comments. But that single view transformed his entire life.

Who was this storyteller? Not me—it was Jesus. The One with only twelve official followers—one who turned away. The One who kept speaking truth instead of clickbait. And the One whose presence reached even a silent viewer up in a tree—Zacchaeus—whose life shifted from selfish tax collector to generous man of faith.

Jesus wasn’t viral in His time. Yet His words spread anyway. Today His name trends everywhere, though sadly, His teachings often don’t. Why? Because for many, it feels uncool to choose good. The trend is pranks, fame, nonsense—where being bad looks like the new normal.

But here’s the challenge: if your work carries light, don’t let the darkness silence you. Keep posting. Keep creating. Because even if goodness isn’t viral, it will always be vital. And who knows? That one silent viewer might just be the Zacchaeus waiting in your crowd.
