And I thought population was to blame

A recent forecast by researchers says that even if world over people follow one-child policy the total population would be 5-10 billion by 2100. Now that takes into consideration major catastrophe and even a First World War and Second World War combined.

Are we so selfish to only take care of our children? What about generations after them? Do we care?

Who is going to feed these mouths? You will ask who cares if  I have one or lets say four kids. Well, you may be well off to feed them, but aren't you taking away some portion from the deserving? The downtrodden..the weak and hungry.

Considering the Knanaya community here, the church wants as many progeny as possible. I understand that their numbers are few. Forget them, my own mother says it would be nice if I have 4 kids!!

Some see our world as a boat where you can only take a limited passengers. If you take too many the boat may capsize.  That means help only few who have the energy to shout out. Let others who have no voice allowed to be drowned. hmm...strange.

One less

For the past one year or so I have been praying for someone. I don't know her nor she me. I just know she is a girl of 17 years in Canada and she has blood cancer. Before I go to sleep, each day I used to pray for her recovery...that is if I didn't doze off.
But during the past one month or so...God reminded me of her more often than not in His various little ways. I did wonder why? Is she in pain? Does she need strength? I din't get any answer. I have no contact with her..just strangers. I just overheard her name "Pearl"  from one of my aunts who happens to be her acquaintance.  From then on I thought I might as well pray for her.

But four days back my aunt gave me the news she is no more. I felt sad. But this is life. I may go and only my fading memories live. Life is strange...so short to do so much.

It again shows that no matter how hard we pray, God has His own ways. My mom says it is better that Pearl left us lest she might had to suffer a lot. I dunno what to think. God your love is difficult to understand. Are you trying to teach me something?

Ave

Sin befallen we were
By the hands of Eve
Saved we are
By the hands of Ave Maria

A small tribute to Mary by me :)

Read about Brittany Maynard in the news...hmm...what if I can pray for her?

She has been quoted "I think in the beginning my family members wanted a miracle; they wanted a cure for my cancer. "I wanted a cure for my cancer. I still want a cure for my cancer. One does not exist, at least that I'm aware of."

Yes cure for cancer doesn't exist. But there's no harm in praying. So I pray. No I can't stop death...but still I can try...miracles do happen. And so I pray. Prayed :)

Papa

The Pope has been certainly getting attraction from the media these days. He is different and very down to earth. I pray that the Holy Spirit guide him to unite the Church and the family. It's no easy task. All the best Papa.

I wish we here in Kerala all get united. Lets see...
