Dear President of Pakistan, Asif Zardari:

The problem in the whole world these days is lack of faith and that brings lack of hope and lack of love; virtues God has given us all to define our humanity, alongside with the gifts of freedom, defined by the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is defined by love and forgiveness and while yes, there is lots and lots of hate and misunderstanding on the side of self proclaimed Christians, what does not change is love and forgiveness.

It is clear that you do not share our Christian faith, however, you still will agree that faith in God, the only living One, almighty and omnipotent, is something we base in the truth He can only provide.

I want to beg you to use the position you are invested with to make love and forgiveness imperative in the quest for universal understanding and free Ms. Asia Bibi from the fate of capital punishment and any other condemnation because all she is doing is expressing her faith.

Understanding across the world cannot be achieved unless there is dialogue, many people say and everyone wants to be participant of such a noble cause in the name of peace, a peace genuine as it is to be based on not just trust but truth and love. For that matter it becomes so imperative to allow freedom to prevail, always accountable to God, but in the spirit of love and forgiveness, letting the truth to be seek and found by virtue of our freedom to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit; Knowledge, Understanding, Council, Strength, Science, Piety and Fear of God.

I beg you to consider the quest for faith, hope and love across the world.

Thanks for the attention you could give to this humble note.

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.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
