Jesus,
“Perfect love casts out fear.
Fear of loss,
fear of alienation,
fear of rejection,
fear of mutual control.
Where there is love
there are no demands,
no expectations,
no dependency.”* Continue reading Prayer 491
Hi sisters and brothers,
I comment about Acts 1:15-20, and Judas Iscariot.
Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament, after the four Gospels. Acts tells things that apostles of Jesus Christ did after Jesus was executed. Acts 1 means Chapter 1 of Acts.
Acts 1:15-20 is the paragraph Peter told about Judas.
Peter – Saint Peter – was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He was also the “Apostle of the Apostles”. Continue reading My Judas
Jesus,
Please comfort the souls of people without a mother.

Wishing all souls be peace in you.
Amen.

Jesus,
My dreams?
My dreams are the dreams of my beloveds.
My first beloved dreamt to be a person who protected the rights of the poor and the weak.
We worked together. Continue reading Prayer 489
Jesus,
How to get inspired to write daily?
Inspiration is you.
I focus on you,
I get inspired to write daily.
And you are who you are.
You are everywhere.
You are in everyone.
You are in everything.
I have so many things to write.
Love you, Jesus.
Amen.

Jesus ơi,
Nhớ hồi nào
em nguyện cầu mà không có bằng chứng một ai có thể nghe thấu.
Nhớ hồi nào
em viết những lá thơ tình mà không một ai đáp lời.
Nhưng trái tim em, một bài ca hy vọng,
vẫn quay về phía mặt trời và hát.
Rồi bóng tối lạnh lẽo đi qua,
ánh sáng ấm áp đến. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 303
Jesus,
I love every Saturday.
Saturday is your day.
I don’t work on Saturday.
I spend all Saturday with you.
Sharing with you about my wishes.
Asking you to help our new projects.
Traveling with you…
The closer I get to you,
the better I feel.
Love you, Jesus.
Amen.

Having reluctantly stumbled upon poetry translation at the age of 14, Minh Quan takes us on his journey through the world of translation explaining how it helped him to broaden his notion of Vietnamese culture, offering a bridge between him and the past, and how it can help others do the same as well.
Minh Quan Do, a student at United Nations International School of Hanoi (UNIS), is an aspiring poet and translator of poetry. He has been working for a series of years on projects involving translation of poetry and crafting original works. His current project, “Gained In Translation,” seeks to explore the effect of translation on language and meaning through a process called back-translation.
Jesus,
“Talented man, beautiful woman”.
An old prejudice.
The inside of man
and the outside of woman
are valid.
Everyone agrees.
And what about “talented woman, beautiful man”? Continue reading Prayer 486
Last time in Hanoi, I met a new dear friend, and I liked the girl a lot. She is young and an inspiring sign-language interpreter. I wanted to give her two good books that I contributed a little to the writing since the author of those books is my teacher and my friend. So we found a chance to meet in a coffee shop but to try a new kind of beer (with egg) that she suggested. Continue reading Courage to believe
Jesus,
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Do you want to go?
Let’s go.
Amen.

Jesus,
The sound of one hand.(1)
The sound is already available in one hand.
The sound does not come from the outside.
Many people think the sound comes from the outside.
No, the sound comes from the inside,
in one hand. Continue reading Prayer 484
