lol I get to hear the 'Air conditioner' thingy anytime I mentioned I'm AC.
most people are ignorant of its existence.

One of our doctors was always altering patients' genotype result from AC to AS till one of our scientist discovered. Surprisingly the doctor didn't know of genotype AC.

Nobody is even mentioning genotype ASC. I've seen at least 4 people whose genotypes are ASC.

Good morning brethren and happy sunday to you all

PEACE THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE

Today Jesus offers one of his greatest gifts to humanity: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you”, he says, “Not as the world gives do I give it to you.” The peace of Christ is enduring, free and all-embracing. It is an interior peace which permeates individual hearts, families, communities, and entire nations. This peace comes from the blessed assurance that we are loved no matter what. It is a peace that comes from the knowledge that even when it seems like our world is falling apart he gently tells us: “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” The peace of Christ is not based on popularity, wealth, comfort, or power; but rather on love, mercy, and compassion. It is a peace that comes with contentment rooted in total resignation to the will of God.

We have all heard the proverb, still waters run deep. It’s true for lakes and oceans, but it’s also true for the spiritual life. The deeper our friendship with Christ, the more stable our lives become. Even when storms come and make waves on the surface of the ocean, the depths remain calm. Our Lord wants us to deepen our spiritual life so that we can experience profound interior peace. The peace OF Christ parallels the shalom of the Old Testament – a state of interior concord. We gain this peace through our reconciliation with God made possible through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Is 9:6).

Unlike worldly peace which usually comes through violent means and never lasts, Jesus offers us a spiritual serenity that soothes our souls no matter our external circumstances. We are not talking about a United Nations’ peacekeeping mission here. It is such a paradox to think that real peace can be achieved by force of arms. It was Baruch Spinoza, 17th century Dutch philosopher, who rightly declared that: “Peace is not the absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition of benevolence, confidence, justice.” This sentiment is echoed by the Second Vatican Council thus: “Peace is not merely the absence of war; nor can it be reduced solely to the maintenance of a balance of power between enemies; nor is it brought about by dictatorship. Instead, it is rightly and appropriately called an enterprise of justice” (Gaudium et Spes #78).

So how can we achieve authentic peace on earth then? By going back to the mind of Christ! It was two months after the erection of the Berlin Wall that Pope John XXIII said in his last encyclical – Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth) - that the peace which humanity has sought throughout the ages: “can never be established, never guaranteed, except by the diligent observance of the divinely established order.” In other words, peace can only come through that order structured into human society by the Creator.

Peace on earth is only possible through submission to the divine plan made manifest in Christ Jesus. Outside the peace of Christ, all human efforts to achieve peace on earth will remain futile. Submission to the will of Christ makes us people of goodwill, whose lives give glory to God in the highest. The very first step towards the attainment of peace on earth would be to recognize the rights of peoples everywhere as children of God, and equal citizens of the City of God. In that same encyclical, Pope St John XXIII was emphatic that every human person “has the right to live… has the right to bodily integrity and to the means necessary for the proper development of life, particularly food, clothing, shelter, medical care, rest, and, finally, the necessary social services.”
Even in families, friendships or relationships, there could never be peace and love without respect for the basic human dignity and freedom of the parties involved. Love without freedom is false, manipulative and destructive. True love and peace could never exist in a relationship where one party is abusive and domineering. Thus, we must at all times respect the otherness of the other person; we must let him be him and let her be her. Children too deserve to be accorded their dignity and respect. Every child has the inalienable right to be nurtured in a stable and loving family setting. These things form the basis for peace on earth, as a prelude to the everlasting peace of the Kingdom of God

Dear friends, paraphrasing the words Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, we can be sure that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all, born or unborn, young or old, and irrespective of their race, gender, religion, diet, language or physical size, the dreams of a lasting peace on earth, of a global citizenship and the rule of international law and diplomacy, will remain a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.
Fortunately, Jesus offers us the peace that flows from his fountain of love and mercy. This peace that the world cannot give is available to us in prayer, Scripture and the Sacraments. What unspeakable peace and joy that we gain in the Eucharist and in confession. We also have Mary – the Queen of Peace – as our Mother. But what about the many around us who do not yet know or no longer experience the peace of Christ? What about those wallowing in despair, not realizing that friendship with Christ is the root of peace? What about those who have yet to taste his love or mercy? What about those who do not yet know that God created them for a mission? If we who believe in Christ and have his friendship still find life so difficult, still struggle to experience the interior peace we are called to, imagine how much more difficult and turbulent it is for those who do not yet know Christ. But we can help them. We can introduce them to Christ through our prayers, words, and example. We can and should become channels of Christ’s peace to those around us and to the whole world.
Today, therefore, we pray with St Francis of Assisi: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. AMEN!
Readings: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29; Psalms 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8; Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23; John 14:23-29

Happy birthday mummy Salc. Syncan has said it all

May you grow from strength to strength. As you have encouraged some of us in times of difficulties, may u never lack an encourager when u need one. As you've added a new year to your age, may The Lord increase you in every aspect of life as your heart desires according to his will. Amen

Thanks dearie

The headlines sounds sycophantic.

Thanks so much bro Syncan for the teachings and the birthday reminders.
Thought no one would've remembered.

@ italo, hope mummy's birthday was cool too?
My prayers are with her too and I wish her more joyful years ahead

Belated happy birthday to you sister bluerange. May the Lord whom you labour daily in his vineyard bless and strengthen you always.

Op what you wrote is the perfect description of Saudi Arabia not Islam.

bluerange:
SalC, so you are also a March baby like me! May your life be a light that will inspire others to seek good, You are a soldier of Christ and as you defend the Faith, Christ defends you from heirs of darkness.....Happy Birthday!

Yes.....four days ahead of you

Amen to the prayers and God bless you lots

Syncan:
A happy birthday to you dearest SalC, your touch on this thread has been nothing short of motherly. You are a rare make, a beautiful soul encased in this dust of ours. May your light shine brightly ever, and may you never stop to add light to light, virtue to virtue and wisdom to wisdom in your joy filled years ahead. God bless you Ada oma.

Good day brethren, a splendid Sunday to all.

Amen.

Thanks so much and God bless you ceaselessly

btoks:
Wishing you all a lovely weekend. May we continue to be steadfast in love to God and neighbour.

Aizenosa:
Good morning everyone, wishing u a wonderful weekend.

Greetings to you brothers.

Syncan:
From today's reading HOS 6:1-6

"...Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD; as certain as the dawn is his coming, and his judgment shines forth like the light of day!...."


People get attracted to each other for different reasons, however, to sustain such relationships, each party strive to know more about the other. As a matter of fact, it's one of the earliest topics of discussions in the beginning of any relationship such as friendship, marriage, courtship etc. The continued sustenance or progress of these relationships often lie on how well you know the other and accommodate his/her dos and don'ts. Are you in a relationship with God? How much do you know him? Knowing God is not like saying all men are the same, no, there is no one like Him, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD". Reading the scriptures, reading the lives of saints and hearing or reading the words of the Magisterium. These are ways of knowing the lord. May we strive each day to know Him better.


Today on the eve of your birthday, let me walk in prayers with you dear SalC, as we encounter the Lord more and more in this period of Lent, may you grow in your knowledge of Him and keep you ever close and secure in God's heart.

Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

May your heart be daily filled with God's love as He keeps you ever close to him.

Thanks for teaching us.............. You are kind!

chikk:
