CBC News - Windsor - Front-yard Virgin Mary to come down

How scary it's become in our days to pray, and to have to see an image of Virgin Mary in our path...
People stop in amusement for anything and politicians are scared to death to rule because it might hurt sentiments, but when people stop to pray, then it becomes a matter of political correctness and the people is suddenly wrong, the statue must come down.
If the statue is in a private property, why should anyone force this person to bring the statue down, for fear that it might repeat Fatima or Lourdes?
If there is gathering to pray, or for that matter, criticize; aren't the people in their right to do so. Cannot anyone just kneel in any sidewalk and pray? Maybe people should start being questioned about what they do when they stop and look at things while in the boardwalk... Might they be praying? Anything but that!
I remember being in the path of people like Jack Layton when in front of the CBC while their workers when on strike, the whole sidewalk was taking by this character that needed his point to be make interfering in a labor dispute while being an actual member of Parliament.

I remember too Stephen Harper, annoying everyone because he had gone to an interview, I believe with Peter Mansfield at CBC and the whole traffic was disturbed.
Who can forget the Tamils on the streets of Toronto, upsetting everything, even if peacefully and wait, only a couple of weeks ago, the city of Toronto had to stop because the Don Valley Parkway was interrupted so that some event took place.
I guess the real problem here is praying, that is what is going to cause major problems at any time anywhere... yes, like in Fatima or Lourdes. The authorities just must act upon and restore 'peace'

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

What is going wrong with the world?!

After the question which seems to come back at every generation, the clearest answer is perhaps… ‘Selfishness’ The point is very simple, when we put our own ego, our self, at the center of everything… Do we expect the rest of the world to bend backwards to satisfy us? We do have fundamental freedoms like opinion, religion, etc. Are those freedoms to be limited by the freedom of others? Are those freedoms to limit the freedom of others?
