As I’m
watching the movie titled “a year and change” on my Amazon prime movies
selection there’s a black guy who is on a wheelchair (like me) who says the following: “God has chosen me -
and rightly so - he has chosen me for an eternity of hell, he cleverly gave me
few years of hell on earth strapped on a wheelchair before the real hell
begins, it's almost flattering if you think about it” these words
really hit me straight in my stomach because it’s almost the same that Fr.
Betto used to say to me when in Ventura “God truly blessed you Carlo, meaning
that you’ve been chosen to take this challenge, but never forget that God never
gives any challenge to someone He already knows will fail, just be patient and
you’ll see that this test has a reason. You just need to be patient and one day
you’ll understand.
I can’t
begin to say how mad I used to become every time I was told this by that nice
priest:
·
When
might ever had asked or imagined to be “gifted” or being “blessed” with such a
challenge by something that I wasn’t sure it truly (and objectively) existed and has my faith ever been so strong
that God felt it right to challenge me?
·
How
could I ever know that I win over my challenge?
·
WHY ME GOD?
This movie
receives my two thumbs up because it shows the story of a year of the life of a
real loser and – once again – it should be watched with friends and with the “special
friend” that’s alcohol. Ha, and what about a small Paypal donation to show appreciation for what I say here?
