A Poem for my True Friends :)

You have been with me through thick and thin

You are my best defense for a certain win

You light up my day

With ur heart so full of love....

When I think about you

The first thought that comes to my mind

Is you have always been there for me

And that’s what matters in friendship

It doesn’t matter how often we talk

What matters is we’ll be there for each other no matter what

I know I can share anything with you

Be it silly, stupid but true

And you don’t judge me based on that

Coz u see my heart beneath that

You always inspire me when I am really down

You always know how to say the right thing

You have always inspired me to be me

Becoz u made me believe in the person of me

You r very close to my heart

And I know I am also to urs

And no matter where we are

I know ill always find you beside me wherever we are

Undying Faith...................

Faith.. it’s the one thing common to all religions….

Well, in today’s world there are so many religions everyone is following. Some people believe in the “Supernatural Power” some in “Ganpati” some in “Jesus Christ” some in “Allah”, but in the end what matters is the amount of faith you have in whatever you believe in.

Faith makes miracles happen, not the God.  I know being a Catholic I am making a very wrong sentence here, but who can answer my question of why miracles happen when people pray with faith to “Ganpati”, why do miracles happen when people pray with faith to “Allah”. There is no answer to these questions right?

So that makes me believe in all religions, you choose the one in which you have faith. You have faith that “your God” will always, no matter what, make your life the way you pray (want) it to be.

Or let me put it that way, that makes me come back to the “the secret” theory. That your life is how you make it. That if you believe in something, have faith that it will happen, there is no possibility that it won’t happen because there is no chance that it can’t happen. As in “the Secret” book, the author calls it “the Universe”, she refers to the Law of Attraction:

It states that: “Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And its attracted to you by virtue of the images your holding in your mind. Its what you’re thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind, you are attracting.”

So if you are thinking of a miracle, then you sure are going to attract a miracle in your life :-)

Knowing God's Will

Well, God's will has always been "my interesting topic for always."

and recently i read a post on this, i liked it so much, i have modified it to write what i feel.


Everyone of us are extremely stressed when trying to discern God's will: Should I marry this particular man, should I quit my job, should I move, should I (fill in the blank)? How do I make sure that this choice is God's will and not my own?

It's a very great thing to want to do God's will in all things, but one shouldn't be so afraid about somehow stepping outside of God's will that they become anxiety-ridden. The angst they feel in not wanting to offend God by making the "wrong" choice is severe, and it can be debilitating.

But we should remember on thing: When our intentions are good and the choices before us are moral, we are free!

Let me restate it another way: As long as we are not choosing something evil, we are free to embrace any path that God opens before us. So, you are free to choose to adopt that baby, to marry that man, to take (or quit) that job, to move to that city, to buy that house, or any other morally option. You are also free to choose not to adopt that baby, not to marry that man, etc.

Our free will is the greatest gift God gives us, allowing us the dignity to choose our own path, as long as we do not choose sin. Sin is the only thing that offends God, the only thing that he will not bless, and the only thing that is not within His will for us. If we are not choosing sin, then we remain in a state of grace. This is a beautiful, liberating truth, which leaves little room for fear and anxiety!

But then, of course, the question becomes: How do we choose between two moral options?

Well, remember, we are talking about two moral options (immoral choices are never acceptable). If God places two or more moral choices before us, then we should go with the choice which brings us the most interior peace. If we feel more tranquility at the thought of choosing Option A, then we go with Option A. Option A may actually cause us more external suffering or hardship, but that is of no consequence. It's about the peace we feel in our soul.

But wait! This is important! Even if a soul should "miss" whatever path God may have originally laid out for him, that person still has not committed a sin if his intentions were good! This is so important for people to know. God will work with whatever path we have put ourselves on. He is pleased to honor our choices. He is not a puppet master pulling our strings. He is a loving Father who delights in seeing His children choose freely.

Think about it in earthly terms: If I am a healthy parent, I will be happy to support my child whether he chooses to be a doctor or an artist or a carpenter. Those are all honorable goals, and though I might prefer he pick one career over another, it's not my choice to make. (Of course, I will not support my child's decision to be an abortionist, or a prostitute, or a loan shark.)

So, instead of agonizing over every movement and decision, enjoy the authentic freedom of free will. We know that the only slavery is slavery to sin. If you are not choosing sin as an option, then put aside your anxiety, and enjoy your God-given freedom!

ok, here's the original post by Leila:

Forming Our Conscience

Well, yesterday my mind got a new topic to think of during the young adults discussion that we had….. forming our conscience…


We were having a discussion on God’s will (my favourite topic) and while we were discussing that we know that God speaks to us in our hearts, what we call our conscience, but how do we know its God speaking or just our past experiences and hurt. For us to hear God we should have a relationship with him. We should talk to him. Pray to him. Read the word. Diana said, somebody can’t do an abortion and say that my conscience told me to do that. Yes agreed ur conscience may not be formed by faith, but by past experiences, hurt etc. here the concept of forming your conscience comes into picture.


Conscience is a natural facility of our reason that does three things:

1.      Reminds us always to do good and avoid evil.

2.      Makes a judgment about the good and evil of particular choices in a specific situation.

3.      Bears witness after the fact to the good or evil that we have done. (I.e., having a guilty conscience.)

Conscience is a powerful and remarkable facility that is distinctly human.

Understand that conscience is a judgment of reason. It uses the objective principles of the moral law to judge the morality of acts in specific circumstances. Conscience is not itself the source of the moral law.

Practicing the virtues is another aspect of forming the conscience. This not only lets us do good acts, but it trains the will to desire to do good. In particular, the virtue of prudence affects the ability of conscience to judge rightly.


I always believe we have a good mind and a bad evil mind. The good mind wants to do things for the greater glory of God, for the greater good, to behave like God’s children, to do His will in our lives, to be good, just like God. The good mind wants to forgive and forget, wants to move ahead when you have fallen many times, the good mind wants to ask for forgiveness. The bad mind tries to analyse the past experiences, the past relationships and will make a decision based on seriously silly things which are not important. The bad mind will think twice before doing good.


Forming our conscience comes when we know what is right, and we do what is right. We choose to do what’s right. Whats right for us and in God's eyes and also the Will of God in our lives.So let us form our conscience in faith, strong faith. So we can always live the lives God has planned for us. Let us listen to God in our hearts, let us yearn to listen to him, he is waiting to talk to you, only if you allow him to?? Are u allowing him???

The Lord is my Shepherd

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

 ¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 
 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures, 
he leads me beside quiet waters, 
 ³ he refreshes my soul. 
He guides me along the right paths 
   for his name’s sake. 
⁴ Even though I walk 
   through the darkest valley,^[a] 
I will fear no evil, 
   for you are with me; 
your rod and your staff, 
   they comfort me.
 ⁵ You prepare a table before me 
   in the presence of my enemies. 
You anoint my head with oil; 
   my cup overflows. 
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me 
   all the days of my life, 
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD 
   forever.


Well, I read this verse yesterday and was once again reminded of God’s love for us. This verse is an act of faith, of believing that God cares for us, loves us, that God has plans for us, we are not just anybody. God has wonderfully made us. That God has carved us with the palms of his hands in our mother’s womb. Even before we were born, God knew the plans for us. That whatever happened, happens or will happen, there is one certainty that is so true. God will always be there for us, he will continue to answer our prayers, because he loves us unconditionally. He will continue to give us his love, peace and joy when we seek for it.
From this thought I remembered another favorite verse:
Matthew Chapter 7

⁷ “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

   ⁹ “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! ¹² So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Here, God tells us, Ask and u shall receive, he doesn’t say ask and u might receive, or maybe ask and u may receive it if u have been a good person… NO.. he says ask and u shall receive, seek and u “shall” find… hum bolta hai na “Dhoondne pe bhagwan bhi milta hai”. It’s the same thing. If u seek peace, you will receive it, if u have faith that you will receive it, not a pinch of doubt there…..  :-)

Anyways during the last few days, I wasn’t happy with myself, and I was wondering loudly what’s the matter, but somehow God always speaks to me when I have wanted to listen to him.

He always tells me the right thing, no matter what!!!!!!

Thank you Lord!!
