Jesus,
Would you like to travel by our trains?

theconversation_The development of the internet has completely transformed the way we do business; and the “oldest profession” is no exception. In a world of online chatrooms, webcam performers can market anything from conversation to explicit sex acts. And unlike pornography or prostitution, there are virtually no laws regulating this form of sex work.

Jesus,
Our Father is working until now,
and you are working,
so we are also working.
Teach us how we could work with the best quality possible.
Teach us how we should wait on you so that you would be well pleased.
And work with us.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen

PATHUM THANI, Thailand — It is a temple for a changing Thailand: clean, unadorned, high-tech and unashamed of praying for wealth.
“Sit here and get rich,” read small medallions embedded in the floor under each white plastic chair in a vast, open-sided meditation center. In his sermons, the temple’s charismatic 72-year-old leader, Phra Dhammachayo, often exhorts his adherents, “Be rich, be rich, be rich!”

Giêsu là Đấng Cứu thế,
Giêsu đến và giải thoát chúng em khỏi ách nô lệ tinh thần.
Xin ban phước cho đất nước chúng em.
Xin giúp đất nước chúng em trở thành quốc gia vĩ đại nhất thế giới.
