A Priest’s Creed
by Mestylrus

Yes—we are priests.
Free, yet bound by sacred vows,
Drawn not to comfort, but to covenant.
Though frail in flesh,
We strive to offer the faithful our finest—
Not for ourselves,
But for them.
Not for our glory,
But for God’s,
And the sanctification of His people.

It is not easy—
But grace makes all things possible
For those whom Christ has called.

P – Not prosperous or popular, but poor in spirit
R – Not rich or reigning, but reliable
I – Not inhuman, ignorant, or merely intelligent,
   But incarnate of Christ
E – Not egoistic, but empathetic
S – Not sadistic, but simple
T – Not tough or merely tender, but a teacher of truth.

Continuous meditation and reflection on a particular issue or challenge opens the door to a possible solution.

Who is that person upon hearing of his or her death, will make you sad and cry? Yes, I see you are brainstorming. Yes , you have a list. But, let me ask you another question - why are you refusing to talk and communicate with him or her? You are busy oooo I see , I hope you wouldn't be too busy to cry too?Why are you refusing to forgive such a person then? Yes , I understand , you are offended and it is normal, but, for how long? Till death?
Remember, your tears after the person's death or your regret will not change anything.
So please have a change of thought and do the necessary thing before it becomes too late. This might be your last chance and opportunity. Please put away the pain, anger, arrogance, pride and be reconciled. I am sure you do need that peace of mind.
Thanks for giving it a thought.

Your mind can be manipulated by your desires to see reasons why you must do certain things and not others. So don't be in a rush, take time to really DISCERN and see clearly.

-

Don't show off;
Show the WAY.

-

Please let us learn to reach out to others. Don't say if s/he don't call , I will not also call. A lot of people out there need our support. Knowing that someone out there cares is truly life saving.
Be a lifesaver today.
Reach out to your friends.

BE HUMAN & BE HOLY .

La politique aujourd'hui, c'est ma poche non pas mon peuple. C'est vraiment triste et malheureux.

-

There is always a backstory to every present situation. As such, be less judgemental, be patient and be comprehensive.

-

"My pocket and not my people". What a shame.
