Re: [JOYnet] War---- Judgement
Hi all, This is a forwarded message : Saturday, 29th March 2003 (Lent Wk 3: Lk 18:9-14) Dear Friend in the Lord, Judgementalism: We all need to make judgements about people and situations before we make our choices and decisions. Thus, judgements are needed in our daily living. However, to be judgemental is to accuse others unjustly. Thus, We need to be more positive, like Christ. Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

[JOYnet] War---- Judgement
Dear friends, As a human being and a Christian the present war of America is fully injustice and it is definitely wrong action. I am always wondering when seeing lot of e-mails referring the term 'judgement' or ' do not judge'. People making opinions about different issues. As Christinas we should have strong opinions regarding current issues of the world. It is our responsibility. That is the reason our dear Pope not only urge his faithful for fasting prayer against war, undoubtfully he critisize the action of United States. It is the true spirit of our pope against the evils of the world. The official spokesman of Vatican recentely commented: America and its alliances resposnsible for each killing and they are liable to pay the penality of the violence. May the Good Lord strengthen His Servant to enlighten the world with His love and peace. This Lenten I am thinking about 3 sisters in Bagdad ( Members of Missionaris of Charity). Last week they didn't go for the Mass for the sake of chidren in their Love Home. That is the real prayer and sacrifice. Sindhu sister wrote about silent killing --- abortion. In Iraq 100's of abortion cases reported,due to the fear and big sounds( heavey sounds due to bombing) When I am looking my 6 month old Gracemol--- I am very concern about her minute problems. No need of explanation. all of us know very well.. In Iraq 100's of innocent wounded children suffering not even getting medicine and food. As unexpected Iraq killed so many soldiers and caught many as war prisoners. Suddenly the public support come down from 71% to 38 %. I am not blaming the us people. I am also included in that category. When I saw the dead bodies of British soldiers I feel so sad .I realized I am a short minded person. Compared to Iraqi killings , much more concern about us. I am far way from the Good Samaritan.. This is my Lenten prayer: Lord give me power to reduce the distance from the good Samaritan Give me an open mind in order to see everyone as your sons and daughters. Lord Jesus I truly belive US doing real terrorism, real violence and crime. This is absolutely war of business Lord Jesus Have Mercy on Us.. Have mecry on America... Have mercy on Iraq..

Re: [JOYnet] War -- Judgement
Dear Joynetters, Jose Kuriakose and some other friends feel As Christians we should have strong opinions regarding current issues of the world. I for one fully agree with the idea. You and I do not have the full information on the situation. All that we know is propaganda campaign unleashed by the rival camps. Both have many things to hide. We can't support or oppose any one but we do oppose war as a means of settling score. For this very reason much more informed Pope John Paul II and the official Vatican Press have asked all Christians to fast and pray for peace as well as for the affected people. We all can imagine, if not experienced, the pain, horror and panic wars bring about. Our opinions and arguments may not comfort anyone but our prayers and acts kindness certainly will.
