This prayer of Blessed John Paul II written for the World Day of Peace in
2002.
O God, Creator of the universe,
who extends your paternal concern over
every creature
and guides the events of history to the goal of
salvation,
we acknowledge your fatherly love
when you break the resistance
of mankind and,
in a world torn by strife and discord, you make us ready for
reconciliation.
Renew for us the wonders of your mercy;
send forth your
Spirit that he may work in the intimacy of hearts,
that enemies may begin to
dialogue, that adversaries may shake hands
and peoples may encounter one
another in harmony.
May all commit themselves to the sincere search
for
true peace which will extinguish all arguments,
for charity which overcomes
hatred, for pardon which disarms revenge.

Rub your ears to boost energy: Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee,
give your ears a gentle self-massage. According to Chinese medicine, stimulating
the pressure points in the ears increases blood circulation to all parts of the
body, giving you an instant energy boost.

Questions From Jesus Christ
Lets take a look at some of the important questions asked by our Lord Jesus Christ. These are the questions that HE wants answers to.
1. How many loaves do you have? (Matthew 15:34)
Loaf or bread represents my Word. You cannot survive with the earthly bread alone, you need ME, the bread that came down to give you eternal life. I am the Word made flesh. MY WORD is eternal. Strive therefore to LEARN MY WORD. How many scriptures do you know by-heart? Can you call to mind and recite at least a couple of them in a crisis? Do you practice living by MY WORD? Just as you satisfy your hunger better by having more loaves, the more the number of scriptures in your heart, the better your life.
Lethality of Loneliness: We now know how it can ravage our body and brain

Sometime in the late ’50s, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann sat down to write an essay about a subject that had been mostly overlooked by other psychoanalysts up to that point. Even Freud had only touched on it in passing. She was not sure, she wrote, “what inner forces” made her struggle with the problem of loneliness, though she had a notion. It might have been the young female catatonic patient who began to communicate only when Fromm-Reichmann asked her how lonely she was. “She raised her hand with her thumb lifted, the other four fingers bent toward her palm,” Fromm-Reichmann wrote. The thumb stood alone, “isolated from the four hidden fingers.” Fromm-Reichmann responded gently, “That lonely?” And at that, the woman’s “facial expression loosened up as though in great relief and gratitude, and her fingers opened.”
