Quote By Archbishop Romero!
It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view.
The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts,
it is even beyond our vision.
We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction
of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work.
Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying
that the kingdom always lies beyond us.
No statement says all that could be said.
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confession brings perfection.
No pastoral visit brings wholeness.
No program accomplishes the church's mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.
This is what we are about.
We plant the seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted,
knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation
in realizing that. This enables us to do something,
and to do it very well. It may be incomplete,
but it is a beginning, a step along the way,
an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest.
We may never see the end results, but that is the difference
between the master builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.
Amen.

Let Nothing upset you!
Let nothing upset you;
Let nothing frighten you.
Everything is changing;
God alone is changeless.
Patience attains the goal.
Who has God lacks nothing;
God alone fills every need.

Saint Teresa of Avila

Why? Why God? Why?.......
I dont asssume to know it all. You say, ' Then, what r you trying here to do?'
It is how I understand in my heart and convince in my heart when I face some circumstances in life, so far.
Once I heard the song, 'Only You' in an album, 'Vande Mataram'. My Favorite Composer, A.R.Rahman sang that song too. He claimed that song was written from the inspiration of a great seer who lived long ago.
The lyrics are (paraphrased), ' My God, If I love you to go to heaven, Punish me and cast me in hell, For my love for you should not be for the love of Heaven or anything else, but it should be purely for you, whether I rot in hell or not, You are worthy to be loved all the way, without any conditions or reservations.'
Whenever, I say, 'Why God? Why did you allow this?'
There is a silent question that emerges after I regain my composure, 'Is this the reason for which I m in God, or My relationship with God is more important than this thing?
God, I m no way near the way, you should be loved.
Give me the grace of loving you not for the happiness, joys of the world, painless life, Heaven.....

Who to trust?
Hot debates all around. God shouldnt have done that, my friend said. No the lost should not be dealt like that.No No No, God is so unkind when you consider that....they continue heatedly
Discussions.... were getting hot...
There was a Pause & Think phase for me...A reflection
No one of us there, can say that we were righteous on our own except by the blood of Jesus Christ. No one on the face of the earth is righteous enough to judge the Only God who is so Holy, and Pure beyond our imaginations.
When we see His glimpse, we ll say like Isaiah, ' Oh , I m undone, I m a man of unclean lips'.
'If there is one person on the whole universe who can be trusted, it is our God, I may not understand everything He does, But I sure do, He alone is the Righteous One. Like Paul said, Our righteousness are cheapest of all rags compared to His immaculate wholeness.'

Celebration of my tears!
The tears I shed at your feet are the sweetest of all the tears I shed!
The words I speak in secret closet with you, Lord, are the truest of all I ll be proud of in eternity!The hunger I experience when I seek you, Lord, is the most beneficial than all the world's experience.
O Lord of Mercy! Consume me completely!
Let me be broken, my tears from a contrite heart be like sweet incense at your court!
I ve found the greatest of all joys when I cry and empty my heart at your feet.
O Lord, Give me more of this!
Let all tears n joys of this life I live, be with You!
Let me not be away from you for a single second!
Let not a day pass by, without spending time with you!
You are the closest friend of all humanity; which humanity could never imagine to grasp what a great gift it is to them.
I celebrate tears for your comfort is tangible!
I celebrate life for in it, I ve found You!
I celebrate trials for it brings this wretch closer to You!
I ll celebrate death for it takes me to You!

Real Men of faith!
Hear these words,
"We never lost hope because up there there’s God Almighty and I have a lot of faith in Him, and I knew He was going to help us... We prayed together all the time"
"We were born again," he said. "This has been a miracle from God because we never lost hope."
Do you wonder who told these words? Three mexican fishermen in Times newspaper and Los Angeles Times.
Do you want to know their story? click this link and be inspired!
