THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

EDITORIAL : Network Busy?
Written by Fr. Cyprian Lewis SVD   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010
When we call others from our cell phone many times we get the message ‘network busy’ or ‘the person you have called is on another call, please call after sometime’. God must be feeling the same way with us. He wants to talk to us but many times our network is busy or we are on another call. Our life has become so busy in the world; there is no time to do ‘Father’s business’. Because of the lack of awareness, many unwanted habits creep into our life and we become slaves of them.

Forgiveness is Power Forgiveness is freedom
Written by Roque Raay Neerude   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010

untitled.bmp“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

It is difficult to forgive. But forgiveness is a gift which everyone possesses. It is a great power which can change the world if exercised properly. But one needs to be strong mentally, spiritually and intellectually in order to forgive. The programmes of the recovery groups, many therapists and doctors speak of the value of forgiveness – forgiveness of self and others and forgiveness by others.

Forgiveness is not simple or easy. Like recovery it is a process. Many of us mouth superficial forgiveness. But this quick and easy forgiveness is pseudo forgiveness which does not stand the test of time.

What is true forgiveness?

THE CHURCH JESUS FOUNDED
Written by Fr. Vincent Barboza   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010

new_church_logoThe Holy Bible tells us that “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (Jn 3:16). Further we can say Jesus loved the world so much that he instituted his only Church (Mt 16:18) so that his mission of teaching, governing and sanctifying may continue in the world. His Church becomes his extension on this earth. We cannot think of Jesus leaving his followers without any future support system. Christ did not leave his children orphans, but rather instituted a Church - his family, his body - where he resides until the second coming. He took to himself another Body. This second Body of Christ is called his Mystical Body. By being baptized into that Body, one true Church of Jesus we are united in the same true faith, the same sacrifice or worship and using the same sacraments under the authority of the successors of Peter, the Pope and bishops in communion with him. This is what St. Paul in his letter to Ephesians writes “you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one Baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all and throughout all, and in us all” (Eph 4:4-6).

A New Family Apostolate
Written by Fr. Eddie D’Mello SVD   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010

Here I would like to share with the readers of this article about a retreat I had for a family of ten – parents and their eight children – in one of the suburbs of Brisbane.

One day while I was in charge of our Retreat House at Brisbane, I had a phone call from a man enquiring a place for a family retreat. As our accommodation was not suitable I replied in negative. A week later the same man spoke to me asking whether I could be in their house for a day to help them to pray together as a family. Our conversation over the phone ended by a request from the other end for a family retreat. I accepted the request without much thought to what it implied.

LENT FOR DIVINE POWER
Written by Fr. Abraham D'souza   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010

happylentseason2_1152Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights…(Mathew 4:1-2). As Lord Jesus began His ministry, He was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness. In the desert there is nothing to satisfy our senses. It is here that our body with all its senses craves for worldly pleasures. As we fast more and more being away from the world, we become aware how much we have been enslaved by the pleasures and wealth of this world. Fasting does not consist just in depriving ourselves from food. Real fasting involves controlling of all sensual pleasures and cravings.

Missing Gods Righteousness
Written by Fr. Cyprian Lewis SVD   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010
sheepfold4
Paul had a burning desire for Israel’s salvation. He loved his people and loved them deeply. With such deep feelings he writes, “Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. For, being ignorant of their righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness” (Rom 10:1-3). The word ‘desire’ means longing or craving. He craved to see the salvation of his people. He prayed for Israel’s salvation. The door of salvation is opened to all people, the Jews as well as the Gentiles. What is Israel’s mistake? They had a zeal for God, but it was not based on correct knowledge. It means an experiential knowledge of the truth.
