My Sunday Observations 170808

I have always been very inspired by people who go that extra mile to bring the gift of life into the lives of others in their community. The on-going initiative by religious leaders to hold the inter-faith dialogue is admirable and an act of wisdom.As Christians, especially Catholics, there is a need to show love - religious tolorence by example, by friendship and by respect; we live by the teachings of Christ Jesus ; for it is only through the act of giving respect and understanding to others that we can receive, the same and more in turn. Again, it is an act of giving and in giving, the goodness overflows and ultimately- flows back to us.. In Luke 6:37, The Lord says: "Give and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back." Do we not need peace if we were to continue our religious practices freely? Do we not need understanding and acceptance of what is important to us - The respect of others for our Faith and what holds dear to us? Putting together hands of friendship and brotherhood will see the fostering of mutual respect for each other's religious beliefs and bring forth peace in every community, starting from within our own individual township, across the whole nation and to the whole wide world. An enormous task which will require more than determined spirit, strength and hearts. It will require Higher Hands;..... divine light & grace .

It is also heartening to know that Leaders of the different religious communities will be present for the opening of Wisma Lourdes, come 1st September 2008 - 4.30p.m.. Targetting Wisma Lourdes as the Centre of community activities in Klang - is undoubtedly a very positive and remarkable agenda' one which will definitely grace The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes Klang; A House of Worship and A Place of Mercy & Healing-A Community Centre of God, synonymous with Love, The Great Teachings of Christ Jesus.
