The Saint of the Gutters…

  “Love begins at home, right inside our community,” Mot her Teresa, the saint of the gutters. She exhorts each one of us to go home and love our mother, father, brothers and sisters at home. For, we cannot love others unless we really love our brothers and sisters within our home, family and community. Therefore, we can assume the meaning behind the novel words “ Maathru dhevo bhava and pithru dhevo bhave …” Thus it is possible to see God in our neighbour first and then serve Him in our immediate neighbours. Likewise, we love God while living one another, just as God first loved us as the apple of His eye. Mother Teresa was not merely ideal but was practical and pragmatic in her approach to love God in the dying destitute. She stands tall in the service of love and care to the other without any pre or post-considerations. She not only loved them but also prayed for them.   Mother Teresa, despite problems and challenges she was optimistic about her mission. With optimism and faith

WELL-BEING..

"A sound body leads to a sound mind." And "early to bed early to rise makes a man heathy, wealthy and wise" is a old saying that speaks about a person's well-being. Today people have become health conscious like never before. However, it is true how young people get trapped in emotional and relationship issues due to lack of balance and maturity.

This process of maturity will answer the question How do I find myself, happy or said?  We must keep in mind that our physical health will certainly affect our Thinking, Behaving and Action. For an instance the balanced people use time

OBEDIENCE...!

As religious we profess that we live poverty, chaste and obedient to God and Superiors. Here I mainly focused on "OBEDIENCE". I compare the obedience of Jesus to our own lives. Before I start, I would like to ask a question to you, what is obedience? Obedience is nothing but denying one's own will and choice for the sake of the kingdom of God. Obedience is listening to others and sharing with others. We see in the life of Jesus Christ, every moment or every step that he took and he was always obedient to God the Father. We see that devil came to tempt Jesus Christ. But Jesus never put God in test but he always praised God. We also know that before Jesus death on the cross, he went to the garden of Gasthemene, and he prayed to Lord: "Father; if it is possible let this cup pass away from me, but not my will but your will be done." This is the real obedience to God. This shows to all how much Jesus was obedient to God the Father. My dear br
