I Peter 1:3
Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ..

As we pass the first month of 2013, may we be in harmony with the God, the creator of the seen and unseen and of all our days and dreams.

St. Sebastin's feast day

 St. Sebastin's Feast day, is celebrated all over the world with great devotion and festivity. The patron saint of many cities of the world is attributed with special powers of consolation at the times of Plague, famine and wars.

This year too, the parishoners at our local church celebrated the feast with everything they had. The roads were decorated with lights and colorful hangings to welcome the Saint as his great life as a faithful follower of Jesus was rememmbered to strengthen our own faith to live our lives staying close to THE WAY, to deal with the trouble and worries of our life. The procession announcing the faith and allegiance to the WAY was done with great passion.

Come to Pharaoh!

Most of the time, we run away from life and find pleasure in the solitude we find for ourselves far away from the realities. 

After sending down the seven plagues, the Pharaoh still has not come around to the idea of liberating the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Then GOD asked Moses to "...come to Pharaoh..".

Not just going there and physically assess the might and majesty of the power source of the enemy but to come to the soul and essence of the oppressor, which make him think and do what he is doing. 

Similarly we all have to get into the essence of our troubles, whether it be financial debt, unhappiness in relationship, joblessness, lovelessness etc.. 

Wishing you all the grace and strength "to come to your own emotional enemies." ..to be a light for yourself and every one around you.
