And this is not only my personal observation, but of those around me. It seems to be the price to pay for life in the fast lane.<BR/><BR/>What do I make of that? At the risk of sounding trite, maybe the individual didn't know that what s/he did was unethical. Or maybe his/her heart was conditioned such that it couldn't tell right from wrong. Whatever the reason, divine justice compels us all to give an account of our actions and behaviors. <BR/><BR/>The Sacred Heart is an infinite store of love, patience and forgiveness. It is from this immense reservoir that I draw strength.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24383995.post-83301276443057883732008-05-23T13:04:00.000+08:002008-05-23T13:04:00.000+08:00Yes, the actual feast of the Sacred Heart will be ...Yes, the actual feast of the Sacred Heart will be celebrated next week.

If he leans over one side just a little too much, he falls. His skill is to stay focus and keep his balance with the aid of a bamboo pole to maintain his stability. <BR/>In every situation that we face which demands a difficult choice, my reaction often lead me to ask, “What would Jesus do?” Praying the scriptures plus life experiences gained from sharing sessions in Bible study groups; provide us with a faithful Christian response.<BR/>Above the din and commotion of a troubled situation, we know that help is only a conversation away with Him, the fountain of love. By now, we would be able to discern by listening to advice from friends and from the teachings that we gain in Church. We can then make an informed and guided decision. We may not always be right but we have prayed and consulted with the cross – both the vertical and horizontal dimensions. The Lord lives!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
