The life of Joseph
Lucia died giving birth to her son José, staying with her father, who threw him into the street when he was 14 years old, for getting bad grades in school.
José decided to never stop going to school, and move on. From then on, he worried about studying, finding a safe place to sleep, and finding the daily bread.
One afternoon José was passing by his father's house, knocking on the door, and his father came out annoyed, Telling him it's better that you go away, I'm not your father. José without saying anything, left sad for not having a family.
Arriving at the garbage dump, Jose gets into the trash, and finds hard bread, kneels under his dirty knees saying: thank you God for the bread of every day, for your incomparable protection, I only ask you strength to overcome everything.
José never gave up, and 7 years later he became a teacher, the most loved, intelligent and kind of the people. He gave his heart to God, for the gratitude of having changed his life, and gave him strength of spirit. And I forgive his father, for having thrown him into the street without compassion.
