Indeed bro, indeed it will be nice to have everybody having the basic needs of life...Though not too rich; such as to deny God, nor too poor; such as to steal and take the name of God in vain. Prov 30:9.

From Today's Reading.

O my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the secret recesses of the cliff, Let me see you, let me hear your voice, For your voice is sweet, and you are lovely.”Songs 2:8-14

There's a feeling in the air at this period of advent, ChineloSA dear do you notice it? An ambiance that inspires love. SalC dear one, the nights are cool, seasonal birds are back and their melodies fill the air. Jnrbayano bro, everywhere reminds you of parks and gardens with Christmas trees and accompanying decorations all around. Auntie debbie, It's a time that brings back lovely nostalgic memories of a period; a time of fraternal exchanges, abundant merriment, first love thrills, youthful adventures up to more recent recollections. Kamsified nne, smiles are everywhere handy; with gifts not far away, especially at sales outlets. Music from the sound boxes are particularly soft and joyful and the message of peace is rendered by almost all who mount the speakers, Rich4god, nwanne no be true? It's a time people plan to look their best and there's a boom for the fashionistas, mariagorreti, omalicha i greet you. What sort of love is it that does not display its affection in this time, in words, material exchanges or physical presence, Peppyluv02 ada oma, o kwa ihe ekwuru ka a na eme? Indeed, indeed there's love in the air, and Christ the Saviour is caught up in it, Jennydoris. You know what; Chikk nwanyi oma, He through whom and for whom the world was created, but who chose to be born in a manger for the purpose of drawing you closer to Him, is hit also by the bug of love in the air at this time. Ubenedictus, I remain Loyal o. Jesus is in a relationship with you, aye, with your soul. Aizenosa, beloved bro I hail. Will there be a display of affection between your soul and Him in this season of love?HurricaneChris bro, Hush! Listen quietly, eyes on the red fonts above, and hear the soft melodious voice saying: "Let me see you, let me hear your voice", Have you met Him at the confessional, did He hear your voice there? Babestell asa be anyi, did you look for Him in the poor,did He hear your voice giving alms and doing good? btoks dear brethren, I salute you. Egovinmma, Sunshine I ask again, what manner of love resists display at such a season? The Lord calls us to Himself at this time, OZAOKPE my brother, I send greetings. He yearns for a display of our love, Italo my beloved bro, respect sir. He wants to display His to us and looks forward to receiving ours. FrancisTony bro, how you dey. Stunningjudy dearie, its a time of unprecedented favour from Christ, the love of your soul. He waits for you, blurange, he says "Your voice is sweet, and you are lovely".

Good morning brethren, A splendid day ahead to you all.

Syncan you will make a great poet, what say ya? smiley

Yes the air is filled with so much love so to say but am afraid some of us only know the purpose in words and not indeed.

A lot of people are more interested in the type of cloths, shoes and hairdo they will be wearing than they are of the kind of heart they will be presenting before God as we commemorate the birth that brought us grace and salvation.

I recall, during lent we always chant the 'tear your hearts and not your cloth' can we not chant the 'Purify your hearts and not your wears' this season too.

Most times I see so many cases of misplaced priorities. A season that is supposed to be a joyful one has been turned to the 'I must make it or die' season.

Growing up, we usual feel eager and look forward to the Christmas confession in our parish. You see our youths troop out for Christmas confession. We wanted to welcome the new born king with a pure heart. But today, that lovely culture of the youth is gradually fading away....God help us.


Well I won't still forget the joy and love spread in this season, positive! Positive they are. It's already being spread and we too should join the train. Let's look around and there must be someone we can put a smile on his or her face individually or collectively. Let's not hesitate to do so.

May the birth we await also bring us the renewal of our hearts and minds. May it also bring us untold joy , blessings and immeasurable favour through Christ our Lord.

Good morning brethren and do have a love filled day ahead smiley

Re: A Thread For Catholics by Syncan(m): 8:29am On Dec 22, 2015
From Today's Gospel.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever
.” Lk1: 46-56.


Talking about Poets, the world have not cease to marvel at the poem above. You need to take a while and absorb this, Imagine what just happened to this young maiden who thought lowly of herself, the more she goes over scripture in her heart, the more the full impact of the present situation hits her..."From this day all generations shall call me blessed". Why was she chosen, how could God have seen her..."He had looked upon His lowly servant". Therefore how great is this Lord, how majestic in glory to have scattered the bounds of the ordinary, which sees only the high and mighty..."My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord". Then she meditates on the import to God's people, the freedom from the captivity of original sin, the quench of the thirst of the Patriarchs who could not see God, the satisfying of the hunger of the just who needed the "way" and not the "Law", and all these done by the merciful heart of the one who was offended, because he had made a promise..."the promise he made to our Fathers". It makes me remember a song I loved so much, a song by a singer called Dana (from Ireland).

The song goes like this:

"there is no rock like my God,
I find my strength in my God,
I rejoice in His saving help,
there is no rock like my God

He is the Lord who gives night and day
He takes man to his grave and back
He is the Lord who gives poverty and riches
He brings one low and He raise the other High"

It was a song beautifully rendered with words laced in scripture especially from Hannah, of whom we read in the first reading of today (1 SAMUEL 2:1, 4-5, 6-7, 8). When the prayers of a countless sleepless nights gets answered, When the dreams of years come true, when unmerited favor come your way, when unprecedented grace falls on you, aye, when your lines fall in pleasant places (psalm15), that's when you appreciate what Mary felt. May we all experience that feeling in our lives from time to time; and testify to the goodness of God always. And when we do receive, may we remember to use what we received for His glory, just as Hannah offered up Samuel.

Seasons greetings to the following:
