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.

When God is offended, should we become violent?

Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.

Common Good

It is often found commentaries that describe common good as extremes of anarchy, as expressions that on one end present a justification for system interference and on the other as an idea of omnipotence over the people who is typically labeled as mediocre and incapable of deciding on their own about their matters and circumstances. However, common good is divine a mandate we all have as individuals; to aim for and to work towards. It is what defines the relationship between science and reason, because a science where its object is to benefit only the self or to enhance the egos of the recipients is what defies reason and so it segregates itself from faith which is what make us creatures of God with dignity, identity and individuality because care exists for our neighbor and peer. Common good cannot be taking or confiscating from some to give to others or to pretend that by robbing from the ones that have to presumably give to the have not, the issue is fairly addressed. On the contra...

He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do

Gospel text ( Jn  6,1-15) :  Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, near Tiberias, and large crowds followed him because of the miraculous signs they saw when He healed the sick. So He went up into the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Then lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw the crowds that were coming to him and said to Philip, «Where shall we buy bread so that these people may  eat ?». He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do. Philip answered him, «Two hundred  silver coins would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece». Then one of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, «There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?». Jesus said, «Make the people sit down». There was plenty of grass there so the people, about five thousand men, sat down to rest. Jesus then took the loaves, ga...
