\u201cI believed that a certain class of sinners must be caught after the fashion of a man cooking snails. He puts them in a pot of cold water, which they like, and hence they come out of their shells as far as they can. The cook, in the meantime, has to see to it that the water heats up only a little at a time so that the snails die without sensing it and thus are cooked. If the cook were careless enough to throw the snails directly into hot water, they would withdraw into their shells and nobody would be able to get them out. It is much the same with sinners……\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

GENTLENESS THAT CAPTIVATES<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Even since the epidemic and disgusting drug business was generalized, especially among the youth, many parents have suffered and they alone will know their efforts to get their children away from such a dark hell. Fr. Claret was very sensible to perceive unredeemable situations of many of his country men who needed to be freed. He was not the only person who lived with this anxiety, and that\u00b4s why he could perceive correct or incorrect approaches in other \u201cfishers of men\u201d.
\nIn the text of Claret that we meditate today, the author relates it with the virtue of gentleness, which he qualifies as \u201cthe sign of apostolic vocation\u201d. He knew the priests were pastorally concerned, but was not certain about their mode of carrying it out; some were carried away by a \u201cbitter zeal\u201d, with which they achieved just the opposite to what they were aiming at: hardened attitude of the fisher. If we were to ask Fr. Claret how to recover a person who had \u201cgone astray\u201d, he would probably have replied with a following crazy expression by \u201cloving a lot\u201d. He was in a hurry to save people, seeking efficient methods for all and even he could have suffered the temptation of \u201chaving acted hastily\u201d against the anti gospel attitudes or situations. But his lucid reflection led him to that quality about which James Balmes commented with admiration, \u201cgentleness in all\u201d.
\nPerhaps this soft and peaceful way was not easy for him who was burnt by the cause of God from within; but his repeated resolution (\u201cparticular examination of conscience\u201d) for years, namely, \u201cnever shall I get angry\u201d was very effective. Speaking of himself and also of other evangelizers, Claret gave this creative interpretation to the second beatitude, \u201cthey will inherit the earth, namely, the hearts of humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
