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.
Traveler: “What
kind of weather are we going to have today?”
Shepherd: “The kind
of weather I like”.
Traveler: “How do
you know it will be the kind of weather you like”?
Shepherd: “Having
found out, sir that I cannot always get what I like. I have learnt always to
like what I get. So I am quite
sure we will have the kind of weather I like.”
Being happy or
unhappy is not dependent on situations and circumstances of life – it has more
to do with how we respond to them.
Today is Good Friday
and we are all at home – as the church doors are closed. Its a great reminder that
Church is not a building, but people who make the community and it’s the faith
that keeps us together. I feel privileged that despite the lock down, we are
still emotionally connected in a virtual way – attending the church services on
Television and praying for the country and the world.
It’s only a
temporary phase and we will tide over this situation…
“Stay Home # Stay
Healthy & #Stay Safe …
