Daughter Complaining Poverty

More From Saint Francis De Sales

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

Poverty assumes so many aspects here in india. there aren't only the poor that you see in the cities, there are the poor among the tribes, the poor who live in the forest, the poor who live on the mountains. should we ignore them as long as the poor in the cities are better off? and better off with reference to what? to what people wanted ten years ago? then it seemed like so much. today it's no longer so much.

When we give help to the poor, we are not doing the work of aid agencies 'in a christian way'. those are good, it is a decent thing to do - aid work is good and quite human - but it is not christian poverty, which st. paul desires of us and preaches to us. christian poverty is that i give of my own, and not of that which is left over - i give even that, which i need for myself, to the poor person, because i know that he enriches me. why does the poor person enrich me? because jesus himself told us that he is in the poor person.
Christian Jesus Agency
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
Freedom Lying Heart
Do not let your spirit be influenced by your body, or your body be influenced by your spirit. be neither insufficiently spirited or over spirited. an elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. do not let the enemy see your spirit.

What i would like to give my daughter is freedom. and this is something that must be given by example, not exhortation. freedom is a loose leash, license to be different from your mother and still be loved...freedom is...not insisting that your daughter share your limitations. freedom also means letting your daughter reject you when she needs to and come back when she needs to. freedom is unconditional love.

It may be that at this moment every battlement of heaven is alive with the redeemed. there is a sainted mother watching for her daughter. have you no response to that long hushed voice which has prayed for you so often? and for you, young man, are there no voices there that have prayed for you? and are there none whom you promised once to meet again, if not on earth, in heaven?

As long as we have all these conflicts, it is the women who will continue to suffer, so that is one reason why i guess as women we should really work for peace, because we know how painful wars can be to us and our daughters.
