Understanding

Understanding is an important aspect of human life. It starts from the self; I need to learn to understand my self. I need to understand my own feelings and emotions. I must learn to understand myself in good as well as bad situations. Once I know to understand myself, it is easy to understand others. When you understand others you create peace and harmony in them. When I understand myself and those in my world, I am working for the peaceful world. Let us understand our own selves and strive to build a peaceful world.

Mother Mary’s love

Stories are the best way to remember things. So here is a story to show how great the love is of our mother for us.

            After the death of Saint Paul, he went to the heaven and asked his other friend, John, “where is mother Mary?” John replied, “She is in hell.” Saint Paul was shocked and he asked, “What is she doing there?” Saint Paul took Saint Paul to the window. Saint Paul saw that mother Mary had a glass of water in her hands and she was giving water to those, whose tongues were totally dried and who were crying for water. Mother Mary was dropping the water in their mouths.

            Dear friends mother Mary loves us so much that she doesn’t want any of her children should go to hell. And suffer in the fire of hell.

            Being a Christian God has chosen us to save other souls too. First we have to save our souls then only we can help mother Mary in saving others soul. Mother Mary wants us to live with God.

            Without God our week is like; mournday, tearsday, wasteday, thirstday, fightday, shatterday and sinday. So let us allow God and mother Mary to he with us everyday of our lives.  

Mary is present at the hour of our death.

Mary is particularly present at the moment of our passage from this life to eternal bless. In the second part of ‘Hail Mary’ we pray: “Holy Mary, Mother of god, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.” It is a simple request, but a sincere one. We know that at the hour of our death we are sinners and we need Mary’s help. She is the expert in that hour. She herself faced it with serenity. She had prepared herself for it throughout her life, living each moment as if it was an eternity. Mary was present at the hour of Jesus’ death before he said, “It is finished” and gave all humanity to his mother as her children. It was the will of her son that she should take care of us throughout our lives and at the hour of our death. Just as she took care of Jesus, she will take care of all the children that Jesus has assigned to her.

     We pray for this everyday. Three times during the Angelus we pray and fifty times during the recitation of the Rosary she is reminded to come to our aid at that unknown but decisive hour. Mary will certainly not miss her appointment.   

God gives word to speak

Once upon a time a poor Hindu man went to the church. He liked the prayers and the way people worship of God. He started going to the church everyday. Once he expressed himself to the parish-priest, and requested him to baptize him. The parish-priest saw that the man was firm in his believe about Jesus, he baptize the man.

     The head of the village was upset about the man conversion. He reported the case to the court. The man was presented before the court along with the priest. The judge questions the man, “The priest has converted you to Christianity?” The man replied, “Why can’t I become a Christian by my own will?” the judge asked him another question, “has the priest given you this cycle for becoming a Christian?” The man replied, “Why can’t I buy the cycle with my own money?” then the judge got angry and told him, “so the priest has taught you how to answer the questions?” The man replied, “Have you told the priest that these were the questions that you were going to ask me?” the judge had no answer to this.

     So dear friends if God has given you some task, don’t worry He will provide you with words to speak.
