Giêsu ơi,
Sinh nhật Giêsu sắp đến.
Sinh nhật Giêsu gợi em nhớ về hiện diện của Giêsu trên trái đất.
Giêsu đã ở trong tâm trí người Do Thái và các nước láng giềng ít nhất 4.000 năm trước.
Nhưng cho đến 2.000 năm sau,
Giêsu mới đến trong hình dạng Giêsu
để dạy con người cách kết nối lại với Chúa,
sau khi Ađam và Êva mất kết nối với Chúa. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 27 – Prayer 27

BEIJING: Beijing is “seriously concerned” by US president-elect Donald Trump’s suggestion that he could drop Washington’s One China policy unless the mainland makes concessions on trade and other issues.
It issued its first clear warning Monday (Dec 12) over Donald Trump’s fiery rhetoric, as state media said the Asian giant could back “forces hostile to the US” if the president-elect follows through with threats to drop Washington’s One China policy.
MORE THAN 6 BILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN COUNTRIES WITH A SERIOUS CORRUPTION PROBLEM
This nine-year-old girl is one of them.
She lives in Dhaka, Bangladesh – one of 114 countries that scores below 50 out of 100 in our 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index, indicating serious levels of public sector corruption.
Instead of going to school, she spends her days sorting bottles at a recycling factory. Officially child labour is illegal in Bangladesh. Unofficially a bribe paid to the right official can mean exceptions are made.
Giêsu ơi,
Em nhớ Giêsu đã nói:
“Tôi biết mình từ đâu đến và sẽ đi đâu”*.
Lời Giêsu thật thú vị đối với em.
Những lời thú vị hơn cả là:
“Tôi biết mình từ đâu đến”. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 26 – Prayer 26

Richard Javad Heydarian is a specialist in Asian geopolitical/economic affairs.
“Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent,” Chairman Mao Zedong wrote in a letter to his wife on July 8, 1966. This was the height of the Cold War, as Moscow and Washington vied for global supremacy, and massive protests swept across the West, from Europe to the United States.

Giêsu ơi,
Những cái bát này là của Giêsu,
nên em đang rửa chúng thật cẩn thận.
Tay trái em đang cầm một cái bát,
trắng, dày, không có hoa văn.
Tay phải em đang cầm miếng bọt biển nhiều màu.
Em nhúng miếng bọt biển vào nước rửa chén.
Đầu tiên em rửa bên trong bát,
rồi rửa bên ngoài,
rồi đến đáy. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 23 – Prayer 23

DOROUGOK, Indonesia — The older man wore just a loincloth, revealing taut muscles and leathery skin from decades of living deep in the rain forest. Like other members of his tribe, he was covered head to toe in tattoos. Though he appeared strong, he had a pronounced hunch, and a cough from smoking too much tobacco.
Jesus,
Tonight you play music so good.
Each raindrop is a guitar fret.
Each tiny touch makes a sound. Continue reading Prayer 22

theconversation: The public gets a lot of its news and information from Facebook. Some of it is fake. That presents a problem for the site’s users, and for the company itself.
Facebook cofounder and chairman Mark Zuckerberg said the company will find ways to address the problem, though he didn’t acknowledge its severity. And without apparent irony, he made this announcement in a Facebook post surrounded – at least for some viewers – by fake news items.
Giêsu ơi,
Xin Giêsu làm mới trái tim em.
Làm sạch nó.
Và dùng trái tim tinh khiết ấy cho mọi ý muốn của Giêsu.
Trong mọi ý muốn của Giêsu, em mong Giêsu nhớ đến đất nước chúng em.
Xin giúp đỡ đất nước chúng em.
Và giúp đỡ trái đất. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 21 – Prayer 21
