More From C. S. Lewis

Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.
Christian Believe Thinking
So let us ask ourselves this evening, in adoring christ who is really present in the eucharist: do i let myself be transformed by him? do i let the lord who gives himself to me, guide me to going out ever more from my little enclosure, in order to give, to share, to love him and others? brothers and sisters, following, communion, sharing. let us pray that participation in the eucharist may always be an incentive: to follow the lord every day, to be instruments of communion and to share what we are with him and with our neighbour. our life will then be truly fruitful.
Brother Order Giving
Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.

This may sound like heresy, but it is the greatest truth! it is more difficult to let god love us, than to love him! the best way to love him in return is to open our hearts and let him love us. let him draw close to us and feel him close to us. this is really very difficult: letting ourselves be loved by him. and that is perhaps what we need to ask today in the mass: 'lord, i want to love you, but teach me the difficult science, the difficult habit of letting myself be loved by you, to feel you close and feel your tenderness ! may the lord give us this grace.
