God's Omnipresence Help

In life journey we face many people in life, yet not all of them are remembered
One can be God or Satan for in other person life in any situation.
If the people are doing Good at all time, any failing is some situation they are not awful
At the same time, one doing Bad for most time for the other can sometime do fortunate or pleasing to the other.
Any Pleasant or dreadful things you do to other whom you don't know will turn your curse and bless.
In my life to experience the God's Omnipresence help we realize we are not alone in our problems, God mighty upright hand is on our shoulder to protect and lead us.
13th August is such that day to Know God's Mighty hand. 

My father his a driver and was traveling from Namakkal to Hosur via train around 3.30 after reaching 6.45 to hosur he traveled to his old company warehouse due to lack of job after some time he contacted some old company to get work ultimately one company in Chennai oragadam call him to come tomorrow by 10.00.

Thereafter, having dinner and some liquor started to travel via bus.
My father usually keep is wallet in his inner side of shirt, after reaching to hosur bus stop he took the bus to Vellore in order to reach the company but after catching the bus he took the ticket and mistakenly kept his wallet on the upper side of the back and the bag on the bus rack, Journey started until the drastic changed happened. Around morning 3.15am My mother received the call to someone has stolen my entire belonging along with my Debit card, Pan card, Driving License, few amount of money and dress now standing in vellore bus stop with just ONE rupee in my pocket. Don't know what to do, and we live in Mumbai and sudden call at morning totally blank of the situation of what to do. And here came God Omnipresence help.

 
One pleasing things happened is the robber didn't steal the mobile, else don't know what would have happened. In our Life, some play a role as God in our moment of help. And this happened.
One brother named Suresh who is a one along with the bus which my father travelled. He helped my father by giving 300 rupees to reach Chennai at that particular time which has no words to say only my father know what it means.
In life not all the one we meet are in our memory but the one who impact us his surely is a YES! Answer.
This incident helped me deeper to believe and trust in God presence
Psalms 91:10-14
No disaster can overtake you, no plague come near your tent;
he has given his angels orders about you to guard you wherever you go.
They will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.
You will walk upon wild beast and adder, you will trample young lions and snakes.
'Since he clings to me, I rescue him, I raise him high, since he acknowledges my name.

Praise the Lord!

Ave Maria 🙏🙏🙏

Don't judge a book by its cover

True story which took place in Salem Tamil Nadu

An old woman enter into the bank in order to withdraw cash from the her account filling the form and standing in the queue till her number comes waiting for a while later when she approached the bank employee she handed over the challan to withdraw cash from her account the amount she specified was rs 500 seeing this the employee told her "minimum counter withdrawal is rupees 5000 and above amount below 5000 use the bank ATM service this is the rule of our bank" and the bank employee told her don't waste my time in doing such small work and move away from the queue to process other people. She was again standing in the queue but the same response from the employee.

After a while thinking seeing all this the old woman pausing for a while and approached the employee and told her that "I wanna close my bank account in this bank do the need", hearing this the employee gave an account closing form she was again asked to fill a form later the bank employee went on the procedure he was shocked to see her account had a balance of 3.5 crores which he didn't thought of.
The employee "apologized the old woman saying the our bank doesn't have that much amount can you come tomorrow to collect your money" the woman replied "Yes!" then she asked "So how much money can I get right now?" the employee said a hard cash of 3 lakh, then she asked the employee to withdraw an amount of 3 lakh. Having received the cash the woman only too Rs 500 and again deposited the balance of Rs 299500 back employee asked why are you again depositing the cash she said in reply "My need is of only 500 which I wanted". And she left the bank.

So Never judge any one only by their look or Don't judge a book by its cover.
In our daily we only judge the people on the external behavior and fail to respect their true character. So we all are human being and respect everyone realizing they too have self respect. 

See you all in another story.

Humanity in People around 

 

Today I am going to talk about another story of a police man. In our daily life we see n number of people around us passing in our life where few play a important role in shaping our life and our society defining who we are. We see some homeless people, beggar and other in our daily routine where some people intend to help this people by giving money, food or clothes and other even good people what they do just ignore as if they are not on there sight to look at them.

 

Here the story which took place in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu as daily routine people are going to work there was a girl on the road in very badly dressed and walking, people are seeing the girl but not trying to ask what had happened to the girl seeing this one cops near the girl approaching to ask what had happen and try to help her. Approaching the girl the cop asked who she are you? without any response to the cop she is still walking, I don't know whether she understand what I'm saying or not but continued to walk seeing the girl the cop went to the nearby clothe shop bought an dress and gave the girl wearing the dress suddenly she knelt down holding her stomach in pain, the cop seeing this took her to the hotel and gave her the food seeing the food she started to eat in such a way as she was hungry for few days after she finished here food she asked water to drink, drinking the water her eyes filled in tears this the cop realized that there is some problem to this girl again who are you and from where you came here?  in reply the girl responded the cop but he could not understand what she is speaking thinking she is not from this place, it's not better for the girl to be her alone since he didn't knew the girl he taught that to take her to the nearby old age home and leave the girl there. After  the cop took her to the old age home over there was a person who had able to understand her language since the cop had no idea what she was talking after this the old  person told the girl is speaking in Telugu. And she said that, there family live in a small village in telangana they all went to the festival in there town and in the festival she was some who lost and separated from here family and know I don't know how I reached her. The cop hearing this tried to contact their parents were they live since he is a cop he tried to find out his there any missing complaint on her in his state. 

Verifying this there was a missing complaint on the girl in the there nearby police station. Knowing this the next magic happens the cop himself took her to there parents where they stay. After the parents seeing their child filled with tears and thanked the cop for saving and bringing their daughter back to them, they further told we don't know she went to Tamil Nadu and we where searching for her in  our place for days. Finally the parents thanked the cop from the bottom of the heart for help their daughter.
I think even to this day cop like such, are there and his is want humanity lies.

Will see on other post comment on the humanity of the cop

Holy Name of Mary

                                  The Holy Name of Mary                                       12 Sep

There is no name after that of her son by which men are to find eternal life This holy name is unknown to the world the power and the efficacy of this word saint ephraim tells us that the name of mary is the key to the gates of heaven no one finds her without finding the son there's no such thing as a devotion to mary without a devotion to jesus christ to find her is to find jesus but to find him in the greatestpossible measure to find him fully and completely and her role in our life as the mother of every christian is to reveal her son to us and so that's why the first instinct of every human person this biological instinct is to reach for their mother a child reaches for his mother that's the first thing he does that biological truth is a reflection of this spiritual reality which is god wants us to reach for her because she is going to be the one who teaches us everything about him she's going to be the one who shows us who he actually is who teaches us about his mercy and about his love because she has experienced it in the greatest measure of any creature of all creatures together and it's her job to reveal that to us and one of the simplest and easiest ways to do that is simply to call upon her name to hear her name it doesn't matter how hardened a sinner may be just by hearing her holy name their heart is immediately softened just at hearing her name the power of hell trembles in fear at hearing her name all of heaven descends to come to your aid and it makes sense because she's the queen of heaven she's the queen of earth just by calling upon her name she comes but like the wedding feast at cana she anticipates us in our needs she goes before us before we even realize that we have a need like a mother she comes and she nourishes us in the sacred canticles the holy spirit describes the name of mary as a sweet ointment she covers us she protects us she heals us but also she admits this great fragrance that is she draws us to her son and finally she kindles like any oil does it enkindles fire it makes fire burn more brightly and this is what she does with the love of god in our hearts she makes the love of god come alive in us she sets us on fire and this fire is nourished and kindled and grown all the more resplendent.

Just by calling upon her holy name thomas kempus says seek jesus with mary and by doing this you will always advance in the ways of god for mary will most willingly pray for you and the son will most certainly grant all that the mother asks saint peter cosolagus says that the name of mary is an indication of chastity and saint alfonza says that this means that when we doubt as to whether we have consented to thoughts against purity if we remember having invoked the name of mary we have a certain proof that we have not sinned in all circumstances call upon the name of mary no matter how intense a temptation is no matter how painful a moment in our life becomes no matter how pitch black the darkness may be call upon the name of mary and she will bring sweetness she will bring life she will bring light because she will bring her son you cannot say the name of mary without saying the name of jesus and you also cannot say the name of jesus without saying the name of mary but what happens when we say the name of mary is she immediately turns around and she says her son's holy name directly to him when you say the name of mary it's like saying the name of jesus twice thomas kempus says that the names of jesus and mary are as powerful as they are easy to remember if you want to grow in the path of virtue if you want to leave sin if you want to put all of hell behind you and if you want to make all of hell tremble then,

I tell you do this call upon her name with confidence keep her as a constant companion in your life if there's someone that you love who is strayed from the path of virtue and doesn't have the love of god burning in their hearts call upon her name with them in their presence she is the only one who can melt stone and get them to say the name of mary even if they don't understand why they're doing it or if at first they do it with little fervor and attention get them to say her name because she will soften their heart the devil loses his grip on that soul saint germain says that you can know if a body is alive because it's breathing and he says you can also know that a soul is alive if he calls upon the name of mary and if at that moment he doesn't yet have the life of god in him because he calls upon her name life will soon return and this is the power of the rosary it gets us to and it allows us to call upon the holy names of jesus and mary over and over and over again so pray the holy rosary every day never let a day go by do not put your head on your pillow at night without having first prayed her holy rosary the life of christ began with mary and ended with mary and as the model of every christian our lord is trying to show us  so to your day your life should begin with the name of mary and it should end with the name of mary it should be filled with the name of mary just as his life was 

Ave Maria!

Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary

 

Happy Feast of Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary

கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபை இன்று ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்ட கன்னி மரியாவின் பிறப்பை, பாரம்பரியமாக நிர்ணயிக்கப்பட்ட செப்டம்பர் 8 அன்று, புனிதர்கள் ஜோச்சிம் மற்றும் அன்னே ஆகியோரின் குழந்தையாக டிசம்பர் 8 ஆம் தேதி தனது மாசற்ற கருத்தாக்கத்தை கொண்டாடிய ஒன்பது மாதங்களுக்குப் பிறகு கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.

இந்த நிகழ்வு நம் அன்புக்குரியவர்களின் பிறந்த நாளைக் கொண்டாடும் கலாச்சாரத்துடன் ஒத்திருக்கிறது. எங்களைப் பொறுத்தவரை, இந்த கொண்டாட்டம் நம்பிக்கையைத் தூண்டுகிறது. ஒவ்வொரு மனித பிறப்பும் உலகில் புதிய நம்பிக்கையின் அழைப்பு, இரண்டு மனிதர்களின் அன்பு கடவுளுடன் அவரது படைப்புப் பணிகளில் இணைவதை நாம் காணலாம்.

மரியாவில் இது ஒரு அற்புதமான வழியில் உண்மை. மேரி புதிய ஏவாள். இங்கே, இன்றைய நற்செய்தி வாசிப்பில் தேவதூதரின் வார்த்தைகளில் புதிய குழந்தை: ‘அவர்தான் தம் மக்களை தங்கள் பாவங்களிலிருந்து காப்பாற்றுவார்’. வேறு வார்த்தைகளில் கூறுவதானால், அவர் கடவுளின் அன்பு மற்றும் உலகிற்கு சமாதானத்தின் ஒரு சேனலாக இருக்கப் போகிறார். கடவுளின் அன்பின் சரியான வெளிப்பாடு இயேசு என்றால், அந்த அன்பின் முன்னறிவிப்பு மரியாள். இரட்சிப்பின் முழுமையை இயேசு கொண்டு வந்திருந்தால், மரியா அதன் விடியல்.

பிறந்தநாள் கொண்டாட்டங்கள் கொண்டாட்டத்திற்கும் குடும்பத்தினருக்கும் நண்பர்களுக்கும் மகிழ்ச்சியைத் தருகின்றன. இயேசுவின் பிறப்புக்கு அடுத்ததாக, மேரியின் பிறப்பு உலகிற்கு மிகப்பெரிய மகிழ்ச்சியை அளிக்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் நாம் அவளுடைய பிறப்பைக் கொண்டாடும்போது, ​​நம் இதயத்திலும் உலகிலும் சமாதானம் அதிகரிக்கும் என்று நம்பிக்கையுடன் நம்பலாம்.

மேலும், அவரது பிறந்த நாள் ஒரு சிறந்த எதிர்காலத்திற்கான எங்கள் அபிலாஷைகளின் கொண்டாட்டமாகும், இது கடவுளின் வாக்குறுதிகள் மீது எங்கள் முழு நம்பிக்கையையும் நம்பிக்கையையும் வைக்கிறது. பிறந்தநாள் கொண்டாட்டம் என்பது இந்த நபர் நம் வாழ்வின் ஒரு அங்கம் என்பதில் நாம் மகிழ்ச்சியடைவதற்கான அனைத்து காரணங்களையும் இடைநிறுத்தி பிரதிபலிக்கக்கூடிய ஒரு காலமாகும். நம் வாழ்வில் அவர்கள் இருப்பது எப்படி நமக்கு ஒரு பரிசு என்பதை நாங்கள் பிரதிபலிக்கிறோம். எங்கள் லேடியின் விஷயத்தில் இது வேறு யாருக்கும் இல்லை. திருச்சபையைச் சுற்றிலும் இன்று கிறிஸ்தவர்கள் மரியாளின் பரிசுக்காக கடவுளுக்கு நன்றி செலுத்துவதற்காகவும், நம் வாழ்க்கையிலும் திருச்சபையிலும் அவர் எவ்வாறு இருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதைப் பற்றி சிந்திக்கவும் ஒன்றுகூடி வருகின்றனர்.

புனித அகஸ்டின், ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்ட கன்னி மரியாவின் பிறப்பு அண்ட மற்றும் வரலாற்று முக்கியத்துவம் வாய்ந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வு என்றும், இயேசு கிறிஸ்துவின் பிறப்புக்கு பொருத்தமான முன்னோடி என்றும் விவரித்தார். "அவள் வயலின் மலர், அவரிடமிருந்து பள்ளத்தாக்கின் விலைமதிப்பற்ற லில்லி பூத்தது," என்று அவர் கூறினார்.

செயின்ட் ஜான்ஸ் நற்செய்தியில் மேரியின் வாழ்க்கையில் நடந்த இரண்டு சம்பவங்களைப் பார்ப்போம்: ஒருமுறை கானாவில் நடந்த திருமணத்திலும், இன்னொன்று, சிலுவையின் அடிவாரத்திலும். கானாவின் திருமணத்தில் அவள் சொன்ன சில வார்த்தைகள்: காரியதரிசிகளிடமும், இன்றும் நம்மிடம், அவள் கிறிஸ்துவை சுட்டிக்காட்டி, ‘அவர் உங்களுக்குச் சொல்லும் அனைத்தையும் செய்யுங்கள். மரியாவின் இந்த அற்புதமான பரிசை நம் வாழ்வில் கொண்டாடுகையில், இன்று நாம் எடுத்துச் செல்ல வேண்டிய செய்தி இது. இரண்டாவது சம்பவம் ஜானின் நற்செய்தியில் உள்ளது, அங்கு மேரி அன்பான சீடரான ஜானுக்கு அடுத்ததாக சிலுவையின் அடிவாரத்தில் மண்டியிடுகிறார். சிலுவையின் அடிவாரத்தில் தாயும் சீடரும் சேர்ந்து திருச்சபையை அடையாளப்படுத்துகிறார்கள். மேரியின் இந்த பிரதிநிதித்துவம் அவர் திருச்சபையின் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒரு முக்கிய அங்கம் என்பதை நமக்கு நினைவூட்டுகிறது ... அவர் நம் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் அக்கறை காட்டுகிறார்.

மேரியிடமிருந்து நாம் கற்றுக் கொள்ளும் மிக முக்கியமான பாடம் அவளுடைய மொத்த ஆம். அவளுக்கு நாம் அளித்த மிகச் சிறந்த பரிசு என்னவென்றால், கடவுளின் கட்டளைகளுக்கு ஆம் என்று சொல்வதன் மூலம் ஆம் என்று சொல்வது ... கடவுளுக்கு “ஆம்”, (முதல் மூன்று கட்டளைகள்), நம்மை நேசிக்கும், நம்மை வழிநடத்தும், நம்மைச் சுமந்து, இன்னும் நம்மை அனுமதிக்கும் கடவுளுக்கு எங்கள் சுதந்திரம்; இது குடும்பத்திற்கு ஒரு “ஆம்” (நான்காவது கட்டளை), வாழ்க்கைக்கு “ஆம்” (ஐந்தாவது கட்டளை), பொறுப்பான அன்பிற்கு “ஆம்” (ஆறாவது கட்டளை), ஒற்றுமை, சமூக பொறுப்பு மற்றும் நீதிக்கு “ஆம்” (ஏழாவது) கட்டளை), சத்தியத்திற்கு “ஆம்” (எட்டாவது கட்டளை) மற்றும் மற்றவர்களை மதிக்க “ஆம்” மற்றும் அவர்களுடையது (ஒன்பதாவது மற்றும் பத்தாவது கட்டளைகள்).

மேரியின் சக்திவாய்ந்த பரிந்துரையுடன், இந்த பன்மடங்கு "ஆம்" என்று வாழ்வோம், இன்று நம்முடைய இந்த உலகில் ஒரு அடையாளமாக இருக்கட்டும். பிறந்தநாள் வாழ்த்துக்கள் தாய் மேரி! எங்களுக்காக ஜெபியுங்கள்!

The Prodigal Son

The prodigal son is the most commonly heard parable. Jesus shows 3 distinct characters the father in the palace, the two sons younger and elder

The younger son divide his share of his property from the father that is to him, going to a far country exhausted everything that he had, he was hired to feed pigs and longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one to give reflecting on himself that even his father servants have enough food to eat why struggling here I return to my father say “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”

an act of repentance of the son for the life which he was living so far.

On the other hand, after the Father is looking for the son for his return 

But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.

But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

“The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’

A small reflection of the parable of the prodigal son 3 questions who am I?

1. Am I the Father who forgives the son for is the sin of the son?

2. Am I the younger son who sinned against the father's love? And repenting came back?

3. Am I the elder son who didn't recognize the Father's love? Even living with him throughout my life?

1. The father forgives the son.

After the sons left the father taking his share which he didn't own. When the son returned to the father realizing the mistake he committed, the father forgives him filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.

I am forgiving others in the same way to others when repent and ask for forgiveness from us. As we pray in the lord's prayer "Forgive our sins as we forgive others their sin" Jesus teaches us to forgive others their sins, As peter as to Jesus how many times I forgive my brother, Is it seven times OK Jesus in reply Seventy-times seven. Forgive others without counting "Only this many times I forgive". As God has showered blessing on us without counting. So let's ask God to help to forgive others. It's not easy but pray for forgiving the sins of other us other. 

2.The younger son repentance from a sinful life.

After knowing that am living in the sinful life am I repenting. Repenting on our own from our sins is not possible without the help and grace of God, yet our we repenting from our sins to live according to the will of God the Father. In our life, at many times we pardon for our sins yet we return to the same sin again with the help of God we can return from our sinful life holding him in our everyday life.

3. The elder son not recognizing the love of the father

When the son returning to home from the field, hearing that his brother had returned to the house the elder one "All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders". Yes, all these years been along with the father he didn't recognize his father's love. Instead of being happy with his brother return to the house. He questions the father what have you done to me all these days? As a salve, I served you. Here the sons not experiencing the love of the father even when he was with the father. At many times we too we ask of thing to God of what is not with us. Instead of recognizing how much the father loved us taking care of us all day, protecting us in our life in every way.
