          The pain of a Father Every day brings a worry, and a worry or two always there is always around.People in their life get used to worries, as they are  kind of a routine in the day. But then there comes a time in life when we are hit by something more than a worry, something that is a higher level of pain – a tragedy. An accident or the death of a loved one, which is like a truck ramming us on the road. Death comes to take all of us. It is a part of life, being the end cycle . Death comes at any time, like a thief stealing your soul in the night. All this information is read in books. But the world of books is not life, though is based on the experiences of life. In reality, a man and a woman marry and bear children. They rear their children to grow and then have children of their own,giving the parents the blessing of grandchildren. However, destiny is not so kind ksometimes. As on a sudden rainy day, there is a phone call, a dreaded one in w...

                                                     Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde                  Lazy afternoon, but had to work – to get that job done. Wanted to clean the attic as it was in a bad shape for quite some time. I sat down to clean and dust my books, which had accumulated on the cover and the room had caught a little mold, which gave a little stink probably because of the fungus that had grown all around it. I began dusting books one after the other , and the dust exposed many favorite stories of my childhood. While cleaning the attic, the heaviest stack of books just fell down in front of me and on the top of the books was the book t...

                                                                                      St. John the Baptist                                                                 I woke up to a blasting sound on the 24 th June . The sound was coming from   the streets outside my window. There was a lot of commotion going on and I was wondering what it was about. Annoyed I looked out of the window a...

                                                      The Holy Week in The Phillipines        Sitting down in my cubicle, I was watching some videos during the Holy week  when I came across this video of the Holy week that was taking place in the Philippines. I found it quite fascinating , as normally in my country the holy week starts with the Mass services and the Church rituals, but out here in the Philippines there was much more.       Much more devotion, would be the right thing to say , is what happens in the Philippines where they have an amazing form of devotion to Jesus and to Mother Mary. During the Holy week, there are many things that you will see in the Philippines, where the devotion is practical and you can see ...

Wednesday, March 20, 2019 The Shepherd                                                   The Shepherd                  “ The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing I shall want” I hear this hymn all the time in the Church, and it sits in the mind like a chicken and then goes roaming off after a few minutes.   But the things that has been staying in the mind is the word “Shepherd” . Shepherd …. Which means “one who tends to sheep”. In the Catholic faith, Jesus is shown as a Shepherd who constantly cares for his sheep who are the Catholics. But how about the profession, the one of a shepherd who goes around taking care of the sheep   Well, for starters shepherding is an ancient profession which has its roots in history from the times of Christ an...

                 For me, myself I am a Roman Catholic from the Catholic church. I beleive in the Catholic church, everything about it , but am not very active. The church is the mysticl body of christ and is a vast body of celestial divinity on the earth.It showcases huge monuments,made from the vision to bring heaven to earth, and what burns within is a bigger special event of the passion which headlines the creation of the church besides the vast mount of knowledge that the church has to offer.  From the vast knowledge that the church has to offer, I'd like to talk about the sacraments and one sacrament in particular - the confession.The sacrament of mercy, the joy of reunion with god in purity, and to swim in the waters of peace unstained from the creature called sin.  I'd like to talk bout it through life experiences and how I came to understand the value of this sacrament - and how it is required in...

otis Redding Sitting on the Dock of the Bay After a long hard day at work, I sat down on my computer to check my mail and keep in touch with what’s going on . The mixer buzzed on with pulp swirling around, and the teapot whistled the song of relief, after all the buzzing of activity of body and brain. The music station came up on the screen, and the music began to play. Otis Redding.. the RJ introduced him and let the song play. The song played,"Sitting on the Dock of the bay" a blue’s song and as it played, it slowly started to the sink in the mind. I listened to the song, and had a sudden flash. After listening to the song, I got up and walked from home to the beach.  This is the only place I could find where I felt I could think about the lines in this song. I never found the dock on the beach, but I did find some rocks. So I sat there, and let the breeze of the sea hit me. The beautiful morning chill had surrounded me, and I got to see the rising sun. So...
