Jesus,

You had dinners with sinners.
Thanks to these dinners,
some sinners became righteous,
for example Matthew, your disciple.(1)

Only one righteous person
is enough to save a city.(2)

Our jails are full of sinners.
If we have dinners in jails,
perhaps some sinners will become righteous
and perhaps our country will be saved.

Amen.

You are near to all who call upon you,
to all who call upon you in truth.(3) Continue reading Prayer 547 →

Jesus,

History has proven that
secular education is not good for people.

Though secular education can help us master knowledge,
secular education cannot heal our heart
and cannot help us love people unconditional.

Love gives us life.* Continue reading Prayer 544 →

Jesus,

Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is not good for us.

ISDS is a mechanism
that allows foreign investors
to bring claims against host governments
to an international arbitral tribunal.

ISDS is a postcolonial relic that should be abolished.

Before abolishing ISDS,
please protect our government.
Give our government your wisdom
and help our government stand firmly
no matter how strong the ISDS storm is.

We trust you.

Amen.

October is coming – the rainy season is coming.

The first rains always make Snail feel a little joy. The first rains are often showers. People say, if it showers on the first date, that couple will get married. “Funny”, Snail smiles, although she keeps on believing in that legend.

Usually each shower lasts for a short time. Though only for a little time, earth and heaven seem closer than they are. Continue reading Just watching the rain →
