Meditations For Lent

~~This is a link to a page which has daily reflections for the season of Lent~~

"As we reflect during these 47 days up to Easter Sunday we need to focus on the needs of our brothers and sisters all over the world and to cry out to God for conversion of hearts - the hearts of the decision makers whether they are national governments, international organisations or global strategists. Their decisions and economic policies often create the problems which bring about hunger, disease, civil war, abortion, euthanasia, embryonic destruction and, just around the corner, man-made-men with human cloning."

CHILDREN LEARN FROM WHAT THEY LIVE WITH

If a child lives with criticism, He learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility, He learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, He learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame, He learns to be guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance, He learns to be patient.

If a child lives with encouragement, He learns confidence.

If a child lives with praise, He learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness, He learns justice.

If a child lives with security, He learns to have faith.

If a child lives with approval, He learns to like himself.

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, He learns to find love in the world.
