F – The Food God

This April for the #A-Z 2020 I have taken short stories from books of Fr Anthony De Mello – “the song of the bird” and the “prayer of the frog” .  I would like to share these stories and hopefully believe that these stories will inspire you too.  



God decided to visit he earth so He sent an angel to survey the place before his visit.

The angel brought back this report: “Most of them are starving and most of them are unemployed.”

God said “Then I shall become incarnate in the form of food for the hungry and work for the unemployed.

I like this short parable as it has deep implications. So many lives lost in the name of religion. If  this is what God himself thinks about human beings, then I think there is no greater religion than religion of humanity, with the current state of affairs globally we are challenged to respond with love and compassion.

This is the time to stand united together and get involved and our bit. However small it does make a difference. Let’s maintain social distancing, maintain hygiene by constantly washing hands and if there is any problem like throat pain, cough and fever do take medical help.

#Stay home and Stay safe !

Be Blessed & Be Happy !

    1. True:) Susan-we are all children of the universe before we divide ourselves into different religion. Nothing else is greater than compassion and kindness.
