Beautiful! We ned more inspirations like this. Ladies if your going through a difficult pregnancy or deciding on Abortion, pray like the parents of Tim.
Lets say a small prayer for all those going through a tough pregnancy. Ask our Mother to pray for all children of God who are undergoing this trial
 
Hail Mary full of Grace, The Lord is with you, Blessed are you amongst women and blessed is teh fruit of thy Womb JESUS.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners (especially all those who are in a difficult pregnancy or deciding on Abortion) now and at the hour of our death. Amen

An inspiration from a friend that set me thinking

Me_n_cathy

"I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong. Leo Rosten"
 
This was the FB status of a friend. Read it and was reminded of the Beautitudes
 
Jesus is his Inaugural Address to the Public mentions few qualities that those who claim to be Children of God ought to possess. One of them being Gentleness/ Meekness. For the uninitiated, "Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the Land" Mt 5:5 (New American Bible NAB version)
 
To be meek u need to be strong and have a realisation of your strength. Its only then that one can actually be meek coz u know who u are and what one can do.
 
Just like charity can be expected from the rich, knowledge can be expected from the learned we can expect something only from those who have it in abundance. What do I need to share gentleness, KNOWLEDGE.
  • Knowledge that I am loved and that I belong to God the creator, saviour and sanctifier.
  • Knowledge That I am a child of the Father in Heaven who created the Universe and thus owns it. Me being His child makes me the owner of everything that I see as as every other person on this earth.
  • Knowledge of the Brotherhood in the Father's only Son, Lord Jesus Christ - the one who saves us from our sins. It was coz of his salvific act on the Cross that I can call myself my Father's son/ Daughter
  • Knowledge of the Son's Gift to us, the Paraclete - the one who sanctifies us and is the giver of all knowledge. The One who enables us to Call Jesus as our Saviour and God
Now why do I say this knowledge is important?
 
Coz when we realise this, we know that there is nothing, absolutely nothing that can be taken away from us or for that matter there is nothing, absolutely nothig that we actually need that we do not possess. We just need to ask our Father in Heaven who knows our actual need and would provide everything that we need and at the opportune time.
 
When this realisation strikes home, then it becomes much more easier for me to be gentle coz I am really stronger than the other to whom I am called to be gentle. Stronger coz I belong to the Father and as co-heirs to His kingdom, I am strong myself. And when I am strong, I can choose to be gentle and meek. Simple na.
 
The Song that I used to sing many times now makes much more sense. The songs titled "Give Thanks"
 
"And now let teh weak say i am strong,
Let the poor say i am rich,
because of what the Lord has done for me."
"Give thanks with a grateful Heart..." 
 
PS. Thank God I just write hear and u do not have to actually hear me sing.
 
Beautiful and marvelous are the ways of the Lord to show light. I thank Jenny who was the spark through her Facebook status message.

I loved Quote in the centre about becoming a saint. It really captured me.
In today's world the entire essence of ours is success at all cost and getting to our aim. Unfortunately like the other disciples of Dronacharya, we are not able to see clearly what our end aim is.
The Saint, like Arjuna saw her aim quite clearly and Boy did she get to it.

PAA - A beautiful Movie

Loved the movie PAA written and directed by Balki produced by AB Corp Ltd starring the Father as the Son and the Son as the father. Interesting na.
But I really loved was the Pro Life Message that runs through the entire movie as a the essential link. The characters have modern values but love life in all its forms. That I believe is the beauty of this wonderfully written, directed and acted Motion Picture.
Vidya Balan as the Gynae who advises Women postponing their child birth on its harmful effects and scenes of her standing up to have a baby out of wedlock is something that has not been seen in Hindi Movies in the recent past.
Its after a long time that I have seen a movie and enjoyed every bit of it. Congrats Balki and the AB corp Lt team form coming out with such brilliance in story as well as Characters. That would make it a very effective Movie that would shed the right ideals as far as Pro Life values are concerned.
