Jesus,
Niqab is good for women.
Women should hide their beauty.
Beauty in public often makes trouble.
Islam knows how to protect women and all the world.
Amen.

Jesus,
Do you sleep well tonight?
Perhaps because of me,
you hardly sleep too.
Many thoughts are running around in my mind.
Let’s meditate.
Let’s listen to the rain.
The rain falls slowly.
Rain on the soft ground of the garden. Continue reading Prayer 533
Jesus,
The day is coming?
What should I do to prepare for that day?
Learning English so well.
Having a big enough group of persons,
persons who live with positive spirituality,
understand major problems of our country,
and join hands to solve the problems.
Amen.

Jesus,
Let’s sew a hook and an eye.
I sewed once but failed.
Try again.
When I was a child,
I liked to become a tailor.
In general, I liked to become an artist.
But I didn’t dare to believe in myself.
Funny. Continue reading Prayer 531
Giêsu ơi,

Jesus,
How can I express sorrow,
and only sorrow,
when I console another for his misfortune?
How can I express happiness,

How can I have a sincere voice?
Amen.

Jesus,
You ate with tax collectors and sinners.*
How could you talk to them?
Perhaps they didn’t talk positively like you.
How could you listen and talk to them?
Ah, equanimity.
Because you have an equanimous heart,
you saw everything the same way,
while being still at all times.
Amen.

Jesus,
I think,
to protect women and girls,
to make public spaces safe for women and girls,
we should say “no” to sex in public.
Sex in public,
meaning,
sexy talking,
sexy dressing,
sexy loving… Continue reading Prayer 526
Jesus,
Let’s go shopping.
I need nothing.
Shopping for fun.
Why did you tell me about this thing?
Last night I had a dream.
The dream is a thing you want to forewarn me?
What thing did you want to forewarn me?
Why did you speak to me about this thing?
I buy these 3 items.
Let’s go, Jesus.
Get around the city.
Amen.

Jesus,
My body is your room.
I need to keep your room clean daily.
I often drink coconut oil.
Coconut oil will sweep bad cholesterol off blood vessels.
I sometimes drink ginger water and lemon juice.
Ginger water and lemon juice will get rid of toxins in the body.
And I do the Energy Training exercise daily.
Hoping you find comfort in your room.
Amen.
