Nothing Evil and Bad has had the Last Word!!!!!!!!

We hear and read about the bad people who keep doing bad till a particular moment and then we hear about their arrest or death or encounter by the Police. No Bad or evil person has had the last word…they might have created fear and terror for sometime but their influence does not not last long…a day will come where the Lord will have the last word in their lives…we know the great dictators and bad people who ruled the world for sometimes….commanded respect only out of fear and then suddenly they collapse….no evil can sweep away the good that God has created…

 

 There are people who get frightened about the bad people who plan evil everyday. But the good ones need to raise a voice against them…we know that the ones who speak will be eliminated or not recognized….they will face all kinds of hardships and problems but at the end the victory will be of the good one….The God of Mercy will not keep quite….one day a time He will treat all these who destroy his goodness in the world….He imposes a time limit….they grow and prosper…it looks to the righteous ones that the bad ones are growing but it is for short time….the Lord will come one day to take awat the power of evil and bad…..there will be end to their evil kingdom…everything they will lose….everything that did not belong to them will be taken away…

 We are called as humans to use the power of goodness towards one another….show and do good to one another….at the end of the day we need only a good and sound sleep…Learn to build the kingdom of goodness, love, joy and happiness.

We Reap What We Sow!!!!!!!!!

I still remember the Nun who what taught me catechesis for the first Holy Communion preparations saying that we would reap what we sow....what you give to the universe it will give back you...we did not understand what she meant....one of the boys with his little mind and understanding raised a question to the Nun...what do you mean....i give to my little brother many things like sweets etc....will those things will be given back to me?.....wonderful for a 8 year old boy to raise a question....many people think that we would not be judged by God....all our evil actions and deeds are all seen by Him and He will reward us accordingly..... 

 Life is beautiful and rewarding if there is acceptance and solidarity...love and concern...if there are flowers in the garden then the garden looks beautiful and adorable,,,,you have birds and butterfly all over....if there is a smile then the face will look beautiful.....your memories will be beautiful if relationships are good among ourselves...well connected and grounded..

 When the butterflies have strength and energy it must soar higher ...fly and enjoy its life...but they should not forget the nest that they gave them warmth and protections.....it is easy to live as a person but live with a personality is always wonderful...because person one day will disappear but personality will always and forever keep on living...

 Ever green hill of Kotagiri

 So clean and plastic free Kotagiri.....

 People must visit to see what it means to keep our surrounding clean and green...Nilgiri is an example....Kudos to all the people here....

 The air is so pure and clean....that you walk for hours and hours ,,,,,you dont get tired..

Prayer - A successful Key to Happy and Peaceful Life!!!!!!!!

Every Human being has a deep and solid longing and desire to get connected to the Creator ..In catechism we learnt that our human goal and mission is to Know, love and serve God...as we grow this teaching reminds us as we journey in life...this longing never dies...the hunger and thirst grows day by day....there is nothing that prayer cannot solve...many great men and women have proved and shown in their lives that prayer is a key that can unlock anything...but it requires deed faith and solid relationship with God. 

 A peaceful and serene man is a man of prayer...he does not get angry or upset over small things...he is composed because he communicates and dialogues with the Lord...any big or small problems does not disturb him because his prayer connection gives him grace to handle all the things in life. All of us carry a longing to know God and enter into a relationship with him. Those who live a deep relationship with God attract us by the peace and serenity of their lives. They know they are loved, and they can handle the difficulties of life with joy and serenity. The disciples see how deeply and spontaneously Christ talks with the Father, and they realize they are far from that; so they ask Christ to teach them to pray. We, too, learn from Christ how to enter into a relationship of love with the Father. He teaches us to put our trust totally in the Father’s love.

 The Nature invites us into a deep silence ....silence brings us the presence of God

 Everything in creation speaks of God....it leads us to dialogue with the creator

 The trees, birds and rivers invite us to speak in deep silence to Him

 Francis of Assisi spoke and experienced God's presence in everything that he saw and felt

 The serve and scenic beauty lifts our heart and soul in gratitude to the Lord....Our hearts cry out Abba father....

 Hills and Mountains praise the Lord....

 All the peoples young and old, rich and poor praise and worship God for what he gives...He says ask and you shall receive

 Seek and you shall find.....knock and the doors will be opened....

Why Am I Here? The Big Question of Life!!!!

Everyone would like to know the purpose and aim of Life....one begins to question about life right from childhood....the answers are not found or given immediately neither readymade answer available...but begins the journey of searching the meaning and answer to the question why am I here? what is the aim and mission of my life.....what will happen to me when grow big? Is there something awaiting for me in future.....As we grow in wisdom and spirit we discover slowly but maturely the answers which guide our further search for meaning in life....There are some who leave families and familiar surrounding in order to search for the answers....some are restless till they find an answer lIke St. Augustine and St. Francis of Assisi....we lose peace till we find the right answers...there are ups and downs....sufferings and pains...difficulties and sorrows as we wade through in order to find answers....all these things do one thing that is they strengthen your resolve to find answers....makes you more confident and grow in faith....so let us search the meaning and answers of our precious and wonderful Human life....God will definitely would help us to find the right answers....

Happy Feast to All Grandparents!!!!!!!

Today all over the Catholic we remember, pray and honor our Grandparents as we celebrate the Feast of Sts. Joachim and Ann, the Parents of Mary and Grandparents of Jesus.....Without the grandparents our lives are empty....we grow without them...then life is empty and no meaning....they are source of wisdom and knowledge....they pass on traditions and beliefs to us....they told us all stories about God, saints and even bad people so that we may not take their path but walk on the path of Saints...

 Morning Eucharist with the Adoration Monastery sisters.....

 Spoke about the importance of Grandparents and asked them to recall to mind our own and prayed for them
