When Jesus on the cross was suspended between heaven and earth , already deserted by everybody, unwanted by all except Mary and John. How great it would be if we could love each other even when they are without power, dignity ! If the other person is despised and scorned by all , how good would it be if on their own Good Friday they would find Mary in me !

Lets not try to convince people, who think differently from us , by trying to conquer them but taking lovingly , with goodness the shining lantern, the dialogue of the gospel, the flame of brotherly love, humbly offering them the wisdom of the teaching experienced by us !
Christ sent us into this world to heal by our love and not so that we condemn each other ! We are not here to conquer the other but in peace, as good sisters and brothers we should be building the Kingdom of God ! Lets not waste our precious time bickering !
I experienced it so many times that if lovingly I admit to the other person that they are right ,let them make their own decision, have their own way and humbly, with love enlightening them in the conversation, then very often my companion makes the right decision and in the end his is the glory , mine is the peacefulness and everybody can move on happily.
God gave us the commandment of love and not of judgement !

“ Life is meant to be given away . I said it often, our life is like a big handful of gold dust . It is of great value, a treasure. But unless we give it away for something , the everyday will still runs out from between our fingers .”

"Life is a great miracle ! I believe that with my Mother the Church there is a future. I do not have confidence in myself or man capable of sinning , but in Providence, our Lord Jesus Christ , who proclaimed :“My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” John 5, 17
I believe in this God working for us !”

My life’s sweet and magnificent experience is the infinite richness that is inherent in the renunciation , the wonderful adventure in the fraternity of a lesser brother of Christ .

The children , adults alike were preparing with lots of excitement but even more work for this year’s celebrations. They all looked beautiful , many nice, interesting costumes , masks quite a few homemade , lots of nice dancing and laughter….everybody hoped this will mark the end of winter , beginning of spring ..till this morning. Even our Irish visitors joined us, as such a celebration is unknown in the English speaking world ..well we came away richer as this tradition was something new for me as well…but a great time was had by all...

This morning we woke up to a white winter wonderland….even though yesterday the children were reciting poems for the arrival of the long-awaited spring..instead the snow was falling till midday. The little guy in the picture was trying to clear a path..the shovel was actually bigger than him but it did not deter him
