Br. Peter, our Custos came for two days visit to Ras Al Khyaimah and it was wonderful time with him, The Parish priest Fr Thomas Sebastian welcomed him a fraternal warmth. The next day morning we went out for a walk close by to an island. It is a beautiful place and mostly Hotels for tourists and Villas for rich people. Silver sand blue waters attract even the local people to visit and spend time....
Relationships are to be treasured and remembered for the lovely experiences one has in the company of the loved one. Relationship maintained and kept afresh by re-living and often talking about them The faith and trust that we had in our relationships yesterday it should be the same today, it should not decrease but must be increasing every moment with warmth and bond with each other. Relationships are not worth maintaining and growing into if they are developed in times of sadness and loneliness but relationships are those which gives us the feeling of belongingness and acceptance, feeling that the other one is there for me.
In the History we have seen and experience that many great political and spiritual leaders have tried to maintain and keep up relationships, brotherhood, bonding but have not fully succeeded. So we too might not succeed but we cannot throw up our hands in the air and shirk our bounded responsibility, not saying its not my cup of tea, but we got to change ourselves first. If we are small and younger, we must learn to accept in humility our condition being small, if we are elder and big in rank, must learn to accept all and learn to forgive those make mistakes.
We may have a lots of misunderstandings, doubts and suspicions with the other, we may fight and have arguments over many issues, we must remember that at the end our journey has to end on the shoulder of brotherhood. Lost days will never return to us and the days that are going to come we are not sure they will be...so enjoy every moment in life with dear and near ones....Relationships are not big but those who preserve and maintain them are the biggest person.
In storms and tornados we do not build houses with branches and leaves, by crying, the negative and bad luck and destiny do not get built up again, be courageous to win the world, by losing once no one becomes a pauper and by winning once no one becomes the "King" of the world.
There are persons who salute and embrace riches, some persons enslave poverty, but those who honour humanity and human relations are those persons who really understand life and appreciate life and proclaim it to others.
