Dear Friends,
How much time usually we spend for make-ups. Some of us may be visiting
the beautician frequently for the make-ups. Some times I happened to see
some faces with their eyebrow above in the middle of their eyes. It appears
that they are plucking their eyebrows so hardly and reached the point that
there is nothing more to pluck. I�m not against the normal make-ups, which
we all do for going somewhere.
But the sad fact is that we often forget to do
the make ups for our souls. How much time we spend in meditation or prayer
compared to the time we spend for our external appearance make-ups? Most of
the time we forget the inner beauty that our heart should have. According to
some theologians God runs world�s finest beauty parlor. When we visit God�s
beauty parlor through genuine confession, we not only get inner beauty but
also get the external beauty as a by product of our inner peace and
happiness. We will become real beautiful when our hearts gets filled with
the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The external appearance will no longer matter
to us. Mother Theresa is the best example for such beauty. Her Godly love
and compassion make her so beautiful that thousands around the world longed
to see her while she was living on Calcutta.
Now what happened to our body, which we are so caring with
make-ups? St. Allophones Ligori beautifully said that if our body were
buried under 6 feet down the soil, on the 13th hour the worms would start
eating us. They will eat our nose, lips, face, fingers etc one by one and
finally they will reach the point where there is nothing more to eat. The
worms then start eat each other and will die to become soil.
If this is our end why should we spend so much time for
external beauty, which will be perishing? . We need to think over it and use
our time wisely. As our dear Mother remembers us, please don�t forget to
visit God�s beauty parlor through frequent confessions, Holy hours and
Rosaries. Have a beautiful weekend.
With Regards,
Bensilal.
