Jesus,
Do you know the thing I fear now?
I fear straying from you.
So please promise me, my beloved,
you would hold my hand tightly,
keep me in your right way,
fix the mistakes I create
and love me.
Yes, love me.
As long as you love me,
your love will lead me home.
Amen.

Jesus,
Loving is not only giving but also taking.
Taking is ’cause of the love of the giver,
not ’cause of the need of the taker.
Receiving the love is also a form of loving.*
Amen.

Our education needs to be reformed.
The first is our higher education.
Higher education is a leader.
If higher education is well,
lower education will be well.

Help our higher education be autonomous.

Jesus,
Let’s take a walk.
I like to go to a market,
I like to pick some clothes.
This way leads to the market,
should we go?
Probably we should just walk.
We have so many clothes already.
Do we come and see a bit?

Jesus,
I have a road.
The road is so dark that
I don’t know where the next step is.
I have a light.
The one and only light.
And the light shines right where I stand. Continue reading Prayer 431
For Vietnamese doctors, a punch in the face leaves emotional scars that can’t be healed
A doctor is seen protecting himself from a violent man at Saint Pall Hospital in Hanoi on April 13 in this still image from a camera footage.
Dr Tran Van Phuc was attacked by a patient’s relative 17 years ago, and the recent assault of a colleague has reopened the wound.
Jesus,
Life has so much injustice.
The first thing I can do
in healing wounded hearts
is stillness
with you
always.
“Be still
and know that I am God.”*
Yes, being stillness
and receiving miraculous things you prepare.
Amen.

Giêsu ơi,
Trước khi biết Giêsu,
em biết mình sẽ viết gì.
Sau khi biết Giêsu,
em chẳng biết mình sẽ viết gì.
Trước khi viết,
em có một ý tưởng.
Một ý tưởng nhỏ.
Jesus,
How much do you love me
in making daily gifts for me,
these colourful charming flowers?
If the things quickly fading
are full of your love like these,
with the longer lasting things ,
how much will they be full of your love?
You love me so much.
Blessed am I.
Amen.
