Goodevening! From the book on self-care for women... Sounds ""The eyes believe themselves; the ears believe other people.""_German proverb. It is true that''seeing is believing'' but we would be incomplete without our other two important senses:hearing and smelling. Ears and nose are the sense organs that enable us to hear and smell. Hearing helps us to communicate with one another through speech. Children learn to talk by listening and imitating our speech. We can hear the sound of a car horn or the whistle of an approaching train, even while asleep; we can hear the doorbell of the milk-man or the ring of an alarm clock even when deeply engrossed in reading. Hearing gives us pleasure: it enables us to enjoy music, the sound pf waves on a beach, the chirping of birds early in the morning. Besides enabling us to hear, our ears help us keep our balance. Ask Beethoven, the musician, and he will say that deafness can be the most tragic of handicaps,

Goodevening! From the book gifted to me on self-care for women... Care of the Ears We, people who can hear, are unaware of the lonely world of silence, hence we completely ignore our ears. Care of ears is as important as that of any other organ in our body.People have strange habits of scratching their ears and cleaning them by using all sorts of objects such as pins, matchsticks or even toothpicks, which can result in ear infection. Piercing the ear-lobe is a common custom amonsgst Indian women. Piercing of the stiff part of the ear, the auricle, has become a fad today but it can prove dangerous and lead to severe deformity in case of infection.A person who regularly takes aspirin and certain antibiotics may suffer from a temprory loss of hearing. Therefore, medicines should be taken judiciously, that is, only when needed. Exposure to loud sounds can be detrimental to the ears. Noise pollution is on the rise with ever increasing vehicles on the road. In the Stone age, the roar of

goodevening! in our country, it is late in the night... from the book I bought in the gandhi museum, Madurai... spiritual awakening in Gandhi and otger Indian saints... in the development of the spiritual life of any great realiser there is often a dark night of the soul. in the case of mahatma gandhi this dark night bore a two fold aspect-a personal one and a social 9ne. very often in the case of otger realisers the personal aspect alone is predominant. in the case of mahatma Gandhi the social aspect was equally important as the personal, if not more. even in his early days we find him pining after God. " My heart pines to see God", he says," I occasionally get faint glimpses of Truth,"But it seems this was not sufficient for him.Also in his autobiography, he tells us how his mind was on a rack.He 3xoeriencef perpetual torturing as much he was still so far away from the Great Beimg who governed every breath of his life.Vety often like the saints of Gujarat, or

Goodmorning! THE ANGELUS Formerly, at the sound of bells, Catholics used to kneel down to pray the,""Angel of the Lord"". St. Charles Borromeo even descended from his carriage to recite it on his knees on the road, many times even in mud. The recitation od the Angelus dates back from the time of the CRusades, and was prescribed by POpe Bl. Urban II in memory of the Annunciation of Mary-whosw feast is celebrated on March 25-the real beginning of the new era of grace and reconciliation of humanity with God. In some countries like Italy and Germany, in the past the faithful began to recite it also in the morning. The""Angel of the Lord"" contains the chief mystery of our redemption, i.e. the Incarnation. We are professing our faith in it through its recital. Those who did not pray the Angelus at the tolling of church bells were suspected of being Protestants or heretics.

Goodafternoon! FRom a magazine dated july/Aug/2014 No.4.... Immaculate Heart of Mary flashes..... ""Thousands of Christians died and none saw the BIBLE""".... Some people seem to think that,even in the time of Christ's Apostles, Christians lived and died with the complete Bible in their hands. NOthing could be further than the truth. The last part of the New Testament was not written by the Apostle John until some sixty years after the crucifixion of Christ. There was no Bible in anything resembling its complete form until several hundreds of years had passed. Yet, during these years, Christ's Church had spread throughout the world...millions of Christians had gone to their Maker...thousands upon thousands of martyrs had given up their life for the Catholic Faith. THe plain fact of the matter is:the Catholic Church and the Cathoic Faith existed before the Catholic Bible, or any other Bible.People became Catholics through the teachings of the Apost

Goodmorning! From the book,""words of comfort & cheer"".... He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass (Psalm 72:6) Amos speaks of the king's mowings. Our King has many scythes, and perpetually mowing His lawns. The musical tinkle of the whetstone on the scythe portends the cutting down of mysriads of green blades, daisies, and other flowers. Beautiful as they were in the morning, within an hour or two they lie in long , faded rows. Thus in human life we make a brave show, before the scythe of the pain, the shears of disappointment, the sickle of death. There is no method of obtaining a velvety lawn but by repeated mowings; and there is no way of developing tenderness, eveneness, sympathy, but by the passing of God's scythes.How constantly the word of God compares man to grass, and His glory to its flower! But when grass is mown, and all the tender shoots are bleeding, and desolation reigns where flowers are bursting, it is the most acceptable

Goodmorning! I quote from the book, "" Goodmorning, Holy Spirit"".... Words that stunned the Synagogue Since creation people have been fascinated by the anointing. It has been marvelled at, manifested, and even mimicked. But the true anointing has always been - and still remains - a function of God the Holy Spirit. What is its purpose? So that you might proclaim the message with power. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me. Because the Lord has anointed Me. To preach good things to the poor; He has sent me to heal the broken hearted. To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord...""( Isa. 61: 1-2) But those are not just the words of an Old Testament prophet. Jesus quoted them to a stunned audience at the synagogue in Nazareth(Luke 4:18-19) You must never forget that to understand the Holy Spirit you must know that He is God.

Goodmorning! And three cheers to all! Just to set the note for a happy and peaceful morning! From Our Daily Bread.... READ Corinthians 4: 1-5, 14-20 The Nature of True Apostleship 4 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. 2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. Paul’s Appeal and Warning 14 I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children. 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many father

Goodevening! From the Calender,... If you're considering moving or buying a new home this year, think green in a big way by downsizing your dwelling.Smaller homes use fewer resources all around to heat them and cool them. Fill them with light furniture and keep them painted, polished and clean. Plus,you'll spend less time on upkeep and more time with your loved ones, bonding more because you're sharing less. Plant an edible garden this year or join a community garden if you dont have your own land. Growing some of your own food and putting land to use is perhaps the single most important environmentalaction you can take. Perk up your workplace and improve your office air quality at the same time with a nice green plant, which will suck up pollutants, humidify the air, and improve your mood.Plants grow slowly in limited light, so they shouldn't be watered, fertilized, or repotted very often. Check the soil dampness with your finger before you pour it on. From the e

Good afternoon! FRom a book by Doreen, I quote... Saint Padre Pio (Catholic) Also known as Francesco Forgione, Padre Pio Born Francesco Forgione on May 25, 1887, in Naples, Italy, Francesco changed his name to Pio,which means ""Pius"" when he entered the Capuchin monastery at age 16. Padre Pio began experiencing the stigmata-a condition characterised by pain, open wounds, or blood appearing on the same places on the bodywhere Jesus was impaled with nails and a thorny crown. The stigmata wounds and blood remained visible for the next 50 years. Many have verified miraculous healings associated with Padre Pio both during his mortal life and beyond. He's renowned for helping the blind to see and healing various injuries and seemingly incurable ailments. During his life, Padre Pio was able to bilocate, levitate, and accurately predict the future. He also founded a hospital and a series of prayer groups. Saint Padre Pio is a very spirited divinity with a lot of

Goodmorning! From the Bhagavad Gita by Geoffrey Parrinder.... 16. With many a mouth and eye, belly and arm, wherér I look I see thy endless form, with no beginning, middle, end of Thee, O cosmic Lord, of universal form. Thy crown and mace and disc I faintly see bewildered by the mass of brilliancy that shines on every side and like the sun in glory flames as fire immeasurably. Thou art Imperishable, the highest theme of wisdom, cosmic resting-place supreme, Thou changeless Guardian of Eternal Law, the everlasting Spirit, Thee I deem. The colossal form of Vishnu bearing his arms and emblems. From the book titled,"" Spiritual Awakening in Gandhi and other Indian Saints by R.D. Ranade and foreword by Arun Gandhi, "" The Essence of Gandhi""...."" I lay claim to nothing exclusively divine in me. I do not claim prophetship.

Goodevening! From the book,""Goodmorning Holy Spirit"".... By that time we were all so anxious to leave that I got down on my knees-on that Jerusalem rock-and made a vow to God. ""Lord."" I prayed.""if you will get us out, I'll bringyou the biggest jar of olive oil I can find.""And I added,"" When we get to Toronto, I'll bring it to church and present it to to you in thanksgiving."" In my upbringing, bargaining with God wasn't unusual. And olive oil was a precious commodity. So I made the vow. Within weeks a young man from Canadian embassycalled my father to say,"" Mister Hinn. We've worked everything out-don't ask me how.All of your paperwork is in order, and you can leave whenever you are ready."" It didn't take long.

Goodevening! "God's great intolerance" From the book,"" Everyday with Jesus"" Water for the soul, I quote,""they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty... Therefore the Lord's anger burns..."" For reading & meditation - Isiah 5: 18-25 WE pick up from where we left off yesterday with the thought that wrath is not a defect in the divine character; rather, it would be a defect if wrath were absent from Him. Those who see God's wrath as petulance or retaliation, inflicting punishment for the sake of it, or in return for some injury received, do not really understand it. Divine wrath is not vindictiveness;it is divine perfection and issues forth from God because it is right. Human beings tend to make Godin our own image. He made us in His image but we want to return the compliment, and it is there that so often we go wrong. Instead of reasoning from the divine down to the human, and recognising that sin has marred t

Goodafternoon! from the national catholic broadcasting council, Toronto , Canada.... The Institution of the Eucharist We come to the final mystery of light, the Institution of the Eucharist. And I quote a beautiful phrase made by Blessed Carlo Acutis: “The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven”. This Italian teenager who died at the age of fifteen in 2006 was beatified in Assisi, Italy on October 10, 2020. He has been described as a young man who “brings holiness in the third millennium.” In this fifth mystery of light, we reflect on the gift that Jesus left us as a living memory of him at the Last Supper. The gift of the Eucharist, that is at every core of our faith, has nourished humanity of all ages from the very young to those in their later years. 6Te Good samaritan fr9m the book ," The life of Christ"... through the parable of the good Samaritan, jesus taught that life is not to be loved in isolation. a kind, loving, and serving life is worth more than all the richest i

Goodafternoon! from the national broadcasting counsel, Toronto, Canada.... The Wedding of Cana In the second Mystery of Light, John Paul II, in love for and devotion to Mary, gives credit to her as “the first among believers” for her intervention “when Christ changes water into wine and opens the hearts of the disciples to faith.” The Navarre Commentary states that Jesus blessed marriage between a man and a woman and raised it to the dignity of a sacrament. Also, and very meaningful to our lives, “Mary acts as Jesus’ true mother”, as she is at these two pivotal moments in Jesus’ life, both at Cana and at Calvary. i am yet to present the christmas gifts I boughtfor my daughter,nephew and niece as well as the parish priests. from the book I bought for my nuece by enid blyton...iquote," I've got five pounds in my money-box,' said Janet. 9Ad I've got three pounds at home,'said Colin.
