Forgiveness-Kindness in Action! – BY Oscar E V Fernando To forgive is to stop being angry with someone who has done something wrong-says the dictionary. Does forgiveness imply forgetting-as in forgive and forget? Confusing views are given by experts on the subject of forgiveness, to the extent that some have concluded that it is useless to forgive, as an injustice done can never be forgotten. This writer proffers an opinion with the proviso that an opinion is only a view held as probable. ...

A missive from Oscar E V Fernando- Kindness in Action! Beautiful message from Holy Father Pope Francis: Rivers do not drink their own water; Trees do not eat their own fruit; Sun does not shine on itself; Flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves; Living for others is a rule of nature; We are all born to help each other-no matter how difficult it is; Life is good when you are happy-much better when others are happy because of you. Let us all remember then that every changing color of a leaf is beautiful and every changing situation of life is meaningful, both need very clear vision; So do not grumble or complain; Let us instead remember that pain is a sign that we are alive; Problems are a sign that we are strong; Prayer is a sign we are not alone; If we can acknowledge these truths and ...

Youth and Media to the fore for fast tracked development with sustainability! – By Oscar E V Fernando World is grappling with the big as they have Ignored the small. What about kind, merciful, compassionate and altruistic thoughts to douse flames of bitterness, hatred, greed, pride and vengeance, in this wild cat race that has resulted in inequalities of wealth, power and gender? Take the case of inequality in gender-an issue that will soon erupt in alarming proportions in a world that, to a certain extent, has addressed inequality issues relating to wealth and power. A recent international report reveals that; -the hidden engine of the world economy is driven by the unpaid care work of women and girls. – just over 2000 individual billionaires control more money than 60 percent of the world’s poor population combined, and that it is the underpaid or even unpaid work ...

Kindness in Action – By Oscar E V Fernando Kindness is essentially a quality of being friendly, generous and considerate; it may also be shown as affection, gentleness, warmth, concern and care. All these are characteristics that one individual can demonstrate to another, and are significantly derivatives of LOVE. What really is the meaning of love, very much in use and abuse in society? We say that a couple is in love-but with a little pause we know that most of these couples do hypnotize each other and live in a world of make believe before marriage and when they have to tackle problems that need sacrifice, this love flies through the window and the world of make believe they had earlier crash and tumble! ...

Vanity it is that dulls man’s talent in so sudden a surprise. The disciples asked-who among-st us is first?

Barque of Peter – by Oscar E V Fernando Old Testament Bible-Old as the Hills-or perhaps Oldest-foretold the Christ that came. Yes, He came: showed His Divinity at age so tender-among teachers of fame. Lived, Died and Rose to be the subject of Abuse, Disputes Prose and Poetry. Lived to divulge his Divinity and Initiate a Church on Rock, for Posterity. Wisdom prompted-nothing human survives with no ‘Corporate Entity’ He Anointed-on Pentecost Day, Mary His Mother and a Body to Rule-with those following him devoutly. He taught heavenly virtues in parables-no written letter to Rhyme, And left The Barque of Peter, a Sailing Boat, to PREACH The WORD and Rule over Space and Time. With Holy Spirit to Guide and no scripted word to read- preached Love and Forgiveness-crisscrossing seas- To a world so cruel-that worshiped Idol gods and nailed humans hands and feet. No tooth for tooth as of old but Love-preached ...

Euthanasia – By Oscar E V Fernando Image Source:-St David’s Cathedral Euthanasia is defined as an act or practice of ending the life of a person who is suffering from an incurable and often painful or distressing illness-in ‘a gentle and easy death’ On the other hand, suicide is defined as an instance of killing oneself deliberately. Science, medically and otherwise has developed rapidly-but has it given a place to morality in this fast pace of material development? Some say this and some say that! It is worth considering whether all medical advancements help humanity; · If they treat people as objects · If applied only to-people who are not considered a burden and therefore deserve to be helped. · If it is based on the utilitarian view of a person-who becomes useless: a set of values based on the belief that an action is morally right only if it benefits the majority of people · If ...
