Jesus,
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.
Please bless our higher education.
Help our higher education be autonomous.
Amen.

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?
A bit… Continue reading Prayer 432
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.

Chào các bạn,
Đây là một trong số những bài cầu nguyện mình thích nhất. Mình viết bài này bằng tiếng Anh ngày 20-4-2018, sau đó hơn nửa năm, 10-11-2018, mình dịch sang tiếng Việt. Bây giờ (25-7-2025) mình edit bản tiếng Việt và chia sẻ với các bạn.
Chúc các bạn ngày Tình Yêu.
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.

BANGKOK — Some 4,000 families in Laos affected by a China-Laos high-speed rail link, begun in 2016 as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, are to receive compensation, but the amounts involved and timing are unclear.
Channelled through new accounts at Banque Pour Le Commerce Exterieur Lao Public, the communist country’s largest state-owned bank, payments will be made to farmers who sustained crop damage, and to those with “residential properties surrendered to the government,” according to the Lao News Agency, the official mouthpiece of the one-party state.

Vu Thi Hang’s (not pictured above) teaching style is far from traditional.
In her class, it’s common to find students moving, dancing, acting and singing. In fact, she encourages it.
“I think it helps students to feel the language,” Hang, 25, tells Saigoneer. She describes herself as a theater hobbyist, while also holding a Masters in Asia Pacific Studies. “I like to encourage expression, so the students can try and use the language creatively.”
Jesus,
Before knowing you,
when sadness came,
I followed the feeling,
I was sad
and I didn’t know why I was unhappy.
After knowing you,
when sadness comes,
I see the feeling,
I talk with you about all things related
and together we see the feeling go.
Free.
Amen.

China unveiled the concept for the Twenty-First Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) in 2013 as a development strategy to boost infrastructure connectivity throughout Southeast Asia, Oceania, the Indian Ocean, and East Africa. The MSR is the maritime complement to the Silk Road Economic Belt, which focuses on infrastructure development across Central Asia. Together these initiatives form the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative designed to enhance China’s influence across Asia.
Jesus,
Before knowing you,
happiness meant a lover,
a social position,
volunteering,
or being like you.
After knowing you,
happiness means being your friend
and being one with you.
The true happiness.
The eternal happiness.
Amen.
