Carlos Rodr\u00edguez, zakladatel neziskov\u00e9 organizace The Happy Givers se s\u00eddlem v Portoriku, vypr\u00e1v\u00ed, jak byl vyzv\u00e1n, aby byl sol\u00ed a sv\u011btlem pro jednoho star\u00e9ho mu\u017ee:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don H\u00e9ctor byl v nemocnici. M\u011bl z\u00e1pal plic a bylo to stra\u0161n\u00e9… B\u011bhem jeho pobytu v nemocnici m\u011b moje strach a p\u00fdcha vedly k tomu, \u017ee jsem Dona H\u00e9ctora , kter\u00fd se bl\u00ed\u017eil ke konci sv\u00e9ho \u017eivota, cel\u00fd t\u00fdden nenav\u0161t\u00edvil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don H\u00e9ctor byl pozv\u00e1n\u00edm, kter\u00e9 jsem ignoroval, a tak po t\u00fddnu vnit\u0159n\u00edho boje \u2013 kdy jsem nebyl sol\u00ed ani sv\u011btlem \u2013 jsem se rozhodl podstoupit p\u0159\u00edsnou vnit\u0159n\u00ed pastoraci, miluj\u00edc\u00ed n\u00e1pravu. C\u00edtil jsem pozv\u00e1n\u00ed Ducha, ne jako obvin\u011bn\u00ed, ne jako odsouzen\u00ed, ale jako frustraci, kter\u00e1 se stala pozv\u00e1n\u00edm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0160el jsem za Donem H\u00e9ctorem do nemocnice. Byl tak \u0161\u0165astn\u00fd, \u017ee n\u00e1s vid\u00ed, a okam\u017eit\u011b za\u010dal vypr\u00e1v\u011bt o realit\u011b \u017eivota star\u00e9ho \u010dlov\u011bka v nemocnici v Portoriku, kde je nedostatek l\u00e9ka\u0159\u016f a sester. Nejv\u00edc ho frustrovalo, \u017ee cel\u00fd t\u00fdden nem\u011bl p\u0159\u00edstup ke spr\u0161e, a on byl velmi hrd\u00fd na sv\u016fj vzhled. V tu chv\u00edli se jeho frustrace stala m\u00fdm pozv\u00e1n\u00edm. Pomyslel jsem si: \u201eDob\u0159e, je \u010das ho osprchovat.\u201c Ten den jsem k Donu H\u00e9ctorovi nebyl up\u0159\u00edmn\u00fd. Lhal jsem mu a \u0159ekl jsem: \u201eNebojte se. Jsem v tom prof\u00edk. To je sou\u010d\u00e1st toho, co d\u011bl\u00e1me v neziskov\u00e9 organizaci.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sundal jsem mu oble\u010den\u00ed, po\u017e\u00e1dal sestru, aby mi uk\u00e1zala, co m\u00e1m d\u011blat, a odvedl ho do sprchy, kter\u00e1 byla k dispozici. V tom, co bylo pravd\u011bpodobn\u011b nejkr\u00e1sn\u011bj\u0161\u00edm, nejtrapn\u011bj\u0161\u00edm a nejsvat\u011bj\u0161\u00edm okam\u017eikem m\u00e9ho minul\u00e9ho roku, jsem Dona H\u00e9ctorovi dal sprchu. Z hanby se to prom\u011bnilo ve spojen\u00ed, kter\u00e9 pro m\u011b bylo tak v\u00fdznamn\u00e9. \u017de v jeho nejzraniteln\u011bj\u0161\u00edm okam\u017eiku jsem mu mohl prok\u00e1zat \u00factu…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nen\u00ed nic lep\u0161\u00edho ne\u017e b\u00fdt sol\u00ed a sv\u011btlem. Jak otec Richard mnohokr\u00e1t \u0159ekl: \u201eNejlep\u0161\u00ed kritikou zla je praktikov\u00e1n\u00ed dobra.\u201c A d\u00e1t Donu H\u00e9ctorovi sprchu a str\u00e1vit s n\u00edm \u010das bylo to dobr\u00e9…<\/p>\n\n\n\n V t\u011bch sprch\u00e1ch st\u00e1le nach\u00e1z\u00edme Boha.
