How to Overcome Suffering

By Paiva Netto

This collection of reflections and thoughts is especially dedicated to those who suffer spiritually, humanly, or socially, so they can react and rise from the ashes like the mythological Phoenix, as they move towards a new and happier existence, more experienced. I hope to help you become inwardly strong to the point that you are prepared to endure even the unbearable. If or when pain knocks on your door, may you be able to sublimate it in benefit of your Spirit and the Spirit of everyone else, because this is the fraternal, unselfish action of those who want to see a Solidary, Altruistic, and Ecumenical Society on Earth. The victory of human beings begins within themselves. The progress of humanity is a consequence of this: Social, Solidary, and Sustainable Development, Education, Culture, Art, and Sports—all this with the indispensable Ecumenical Spirituality—so there may be Socio-environmental Awareness, Food, Security, Health, and Work for all its components, as well as awakening in them the Planetary Citizenship. If we act like this, we shall be able to multiply contentment, security, and Peace in the Soul and in the pockets of citizens of any country that loves its people.

TREATISE ON THE NEW COMMANDMENT OF JESUS

The Spiritually Revolutionary Supreme Order of the Divine Master represents what is unique about the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit¹ and is the foundation of all its spiritual, social, and human actions through the power of the Fraternal Love He brought to the world.

Jesus, the Ecumenical Christ, the Divine Statesman, has taught:"¹³:34 A New Commandment I give you: love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³:³⁵ Only by this shall all of you be recognized as my disciples, if you have the same Love for one another.

¹⁵:⁷ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ¹⁵:⁸ This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

¹⁵:¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my Love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in His Love.

¹⁵:¹¹ I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

¹⁵:¹² This is my Commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹⁵:¹³ There is no greater Love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁵:¹⁴ And you are my friends if you do what I command you. And I command you this: love one another as I have loved you.

¹⁵:¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from my Father I have made known to you.

¹⁵:¹⁶ You did not choose me; on the contrary, I chose you and appointed you so that you should go and bear good fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name He may give to you.

¹⁵:¹⁷ And this I command you: that you love one another as I have loved you.¹⁵:⁹ Therefore, as
