¡Hoy es martes meditativo!        (Today is meditative Tuesday!)

La fecha es el dieciséis (16) de julio del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is July 16, 2024.)

El dicho de la semana es:  

A borrica arrodillada, no le dobles la carga.

(The saying of the week is:        To the kneeling donkey, don’t add to her load.)

We receive a lesson in compassion with this Dominican proverb. When donkeys kneel down, it indicates that they’ve surpassed the limit of what they can carry. This proverb advises showing kindness to people who are loaded with suffering. We should not be cruel to those who are suffering or downhearted.

Practice saying this phrase whenever you interact with those in distress.

¡Que tengas un martes misericordioso!        (May you have a merciful Tuesday!)

L. A. Feliz
