Lent Days

The month of "Kumbh" is the breakaway month from the cooler winter months after the monsoon into the hot summer days. Its also the time when the summer fruits bloom. The mango trees looks beautiful with its yellow blooms. Usually, the hot days brings the air pressure down in the land and the water vapour from the sea moves onto the shore, sometimes resulting in very consoling rain. Its called "Flowering rains". It brings the blooms of the summer fruits down, the flowers will be all littered over the courtyard, a beautiful sight.

Beautiful part of the Kumbh month is the clear blue sky and the amazingly clear sunsets. The picture is the sky from my home a few days ago before the flowering rain.

Lent days are going good. Most of the time I attend the 7.15 am mass. There is an inspiring preganent young lady at the church who attend the morning mass regularly with her full bump. She make me wish that every carrying woman have such a happy and peaceful months. Yeah! One should be lucky indeed.

Some countries, like UK, they have the Pancake  race to mark the beginning of the Lent days. They have event everywhere even the MP's have to run around with a frying pan tossing pancakes. Every society have their own customs and events. What is mine..?

Hope

Like in yesterday, today too, My Lord You will help us, with our troubles and worries. Thoughts of You, Mary, is blessing us with the strength and grace to walk the path that holds our hope and our peace.

May all those who desperately need it, find it without delay, so that they too enjoy the peace and happiness.

No, today do not weigh me down, 
My strength is my yesterdays,
My hope is in the Hands, 
That held me and lifted me up,
When I was miserable and a wreck!

Valentine's..

Tobit 8 - 5:7

Tells us about the way Tobit accept Sarah. Not out of physical need, but innocent love of the heart.

May we all have the grace and good fortune to love like that all our life.

Happy Valentine Day, my friends, but as we know, our love, Jesus love for the world, is for LIFE!

Lent Days

I Peter 1:3

"Let us give thanks to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Thank you Jesus for taking Us to Him, for being our Way to Him and teaching us how to love.

Thoughts on the start of the Lent days.
