Give them all

Giving, though, in idea has a very powerful message of growing. It does hurt a person when it comes to do it in act, especially if a person is not enjoying a good social status. This calls for a realization of the essence of Giving. Giving simply means being detached from material goods and being attached to the love experienced form people and God. Therefore, your Giving away of something (money, food, and shelter) must cause you to be more loving. Concomitantly, giving need not necessarily be in ‘material’ but emotionally and spiritually. Giving has a broader horizon then usually conceived. As a result, it is in giving that we grow in love for each other and with God.

My Vision of a Human Person

We, human beings, possess a gift given to us by God i.e. to be human. A Human Person must be able to understand d the other and so he/she will be understand the other and so he/she will be understood or recognized in return. One must be willing to share his/her time, resources and talents with those in need of it. This needs to overflow from one’s compassionate heart. A Human Person needs to  respect the other as his/her equal. Though this vision seems to be good in imagination, when it comes to living it, by oneself, it is a challenge.

A Human Person must have the heart to love oneself and the other. This love needs to be genuine....

U, Me and Don Bosco

The youth of today are engaged in all walks of life and are vacillating from one work to another, finding no fulfillment in one. A Majority of this age group implies a good future of the nation. Largely, because they are full of energy and are alive with a young spirit, ready to do something new. At the same time, this age group also faces a lot of challenges, exploitation and more especially are contracted with various vices. Though their material need is being attended, their spiritual need is still unnoticed. These youth of today form the “U” In Turin, when the need arose to eradicate the problems of youth who were ending up in prison, God sent Don Bosco to take care of these youth. Likewise to tackle the problems of today’s youth, namely, the danger of being misguided and falling into bad company, God is continuously sending his help.

MARY, A WOMAN OF CHARACTER

A person is known more by his character than his personality, because it is character that makes a person. Even Mary, our mother possessed and exemplified a character that always kept her in the presence of God. She was the most magnificent creature that God had ever created. The creator had created Eve perfect but her disobedience distorted her character.  “Talent develops in quiet places and character in the full current of human life “-said Johann Wolfgang. So also, Mother Mary’s exemplary character upholds  five  qualities that shone vividly in her life. I would like to call it the five point Marian programme - 1. Her obeying character – At the time of the Annunciation , Mary’s  “Yes “ to God’s call in bearing the Messiah revealed her obeying character . She entrusted her will completely to God by saying –“I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done unto me according to your word”. 2. Her caring character –Thirteen years later, when Jesus was lost in the ...
