Today's meditation....
Words of St Vincent de Paul to his congregation.

You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.


The last sentence sums up the reason why no matter the little things we have, no matter the scenario that hinder us from performing the act of charity..... We should never relent in helping our masters, the needy.



A wonderful day to you all.

Woow, just woow!!

The rich are the servants of the poor........difficult to accept but quite rewarding.

Keep it up Rich4God, your reward awaits.

Today's meditation.....
Words from St Theresa of Calcutta

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.



In yesterday's meditation, is was said that nothing should hinder us from performing the works of charity. But I was left wondering, what if someone doesn't have the resource to help the needy, how then can he perform the act of charity every day.
Today, St Theresa has thrown the option wide open such that even in a state of "nothingness" one still have what it takes to help one another. The smile on your face, the beautiful words that comes out from your mouth, the little things we can do to put a smile on another's face, taking out your time to help a brother/neighbor with his little chores.... The options are truly wide...


We pray today that through the intercession of St Theresa, we may have the zeal and energy to show love to our brethren.....

Morning friends.....
Very nice one. I'll preach this to someone today
This post got me real good. No excuses really. Thanks for sharing

Well, let me just let it go since the story is not biblical nor religious, but about tortoise. I don't want you to be banned, it's ungentlemanly.

That's good.

Now if i may ask, why going to evening mass today, any special occasion?

Are you now fully back to the church or you are in school and away from your uncle?
