GRACE...!

Today human being in the world is preoccupied with the rat race of power, prestige and possession. As a result the societies and the states are loosing the sense of values, morality and God. In fact, God has become a rare phenomenon in life, reduced to a concept in the modern and technological world. God is a concept, thought of only at times of need, danger, ill health, favors, jobs and ceremonies. Otherwise God is kept in the back seat as if he is a stranger to life.  And to add fuel to the fire and to make things worse, the technology, scientism, new age thinkers, materialism, consumerism, individualism have crept into the societies crumpling down the edifices of human values, social relations and the dignity of the families. This is seen very much when the youth and the students isolate themselves while indulging in latest technologies and social networks. No wonder why the relationships have become very suspicious and inauthentic even to the extent of one’s identity is...

 “Conscience is human’s s most secret core and the sanctuary” (GS16). In other words conscience is the inner voice coming from God. Therefore we are to listen and walk according to our inner voice in order that one day we may become like “Shining and guiding stars in the firmament of human history”. Therefore, the formation of conscience is extremely important in order to have a clear conscience that chooses what is good and avoids what is evil. Such a formation of conscience takes place always in the culture of a community which is fundamentally Trinitarian and Communitarian ( Communion ) .     However, often confusion arises in our minds regarding the moral conscience and superego. According to psychologists these are conflicts that occur within a person’s mind. Hence, we should be aware that they are not identical and can be distinguished in many ways: for an instance we know that the super ego commands us to act whereas conscience is a response to this in...

For the one who wishes to love, always finds someone to love... For the one who loves, always finds a tune to sing... For the one who sings, always finds a work to do... For the one who works, always makes his/her life, a life of prayer .  

Worry not; I am only a trail... Fear not; I am the beginning... Courage, I am a door of HOPE... Happy, I am the way to the Destiny... Time and tide waits none, so do I... It’s not an end that matters rather the journey... Sooner or later I visit you all... As you came naked; I will take you naked... No one knows what awaits the other side of the shore... give the best over this side; hope the best the other side... a time comes when there won’t be any side to give or to take... That is what really matter; a time of no time...   hurry, worry take you nowhere...  live calm and composed... celebrate life and celebrate differences... (oneness)  for, life is to celebrate and not tolerate...

No one wants me, yet I visit all; an unwanted friend of all, yet no one likes me; when I come to you, you won’t be there; For when I come I devour your shade..    I invade all; the rich and poor, strong and weak; young & old, wise & wicked; I take all;  where I take no one could ever guess; for, I am a bottomless sea... Deep calls to deep; no one wants to hear; world keeps you busy, alert, for my arrival is at hand; you try to avoid me by acting in pretense;  truth is, no one ever escaped from my sting... Awake, alert life is short Invest life for something divine Reach the un-reached, love the unloved For that is what matter at the end of all times... I am an ambassador of God...to drive you HOME...          May life envelope you ...in abundance of God’s LOVE...

Karl Rahner: Aware of the great danger, a gap between lived piety and abstract theology. Hence, his concern was to bridge this gap with the help of scripture and the church doctrines. With the help these two tools scripture and church doctrines we can illumine our experience and thus be guided in our spiritual journey. He aimed to show, how the scripture can illumine our living and the teaching of the church to guide our daily life. Thus theology as a whole can help people to build a relationship with Christ. Therefore, he even emphasized that theology should be scientific so that it could be relevant to the changing times and thus be a source of spiritual inspiration. Such a theology will answer the questions and the doubts of the changing times. Likewise it will be a rich heritage of the Christian tradition that avails the spiritual needs of the faithful.    Rahner emphasizes how theology has a correlation task: First of all theology should show the specific Ch...

The solemn proclamation of the Jubillee Year of Mercy by Pope Francis is a blessing for all the Christians across the world. It is an opportunity for us to be compassionate towards our neighbours. For, it is the hallmark of Christianity to love all despite of the differences of creed, community and complexion. From here emerges Mercy as the concept of Christian Identity. For, God himself was merciful towards His chosen race Israel. Right from the beginning of the Bible ; from the book of Genesis to Revelation we see God’s mercy flowing at every moment in the life of Israel; from the fall of our first parents up to now...             On the contrary humanity has been projecting itself odd and indifferent to God’s unconditional Mercy; be it Crusades, Jihads, Holy Wars, Inquisitions, World Wars, Fundamentalism, Racism, Immorality and Inequality. Unfortunately these negative elements are also the effects of our civilization. This...
