HIS call and our commitment



God blessed me to lead a monthly recollection for Missionaries of Sacred Heart at Bangalore. The theme was HIS call and our commitment. I experienced the power of Holy spirit during the prayer time and had a vision of white cloud floats in the hall for a second, my eyes filled with tears suddenly.

Key point :
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
(1 Peter 2:9)

3W will destroy 1W will construct

They say that 3W ruin one's life, viz,. Wine, Woman and Wealth. But many do not know that 1W, i.e., Word of God can build one's life.
The bad/evil effect of 3W can be cleaned by 1 W(word of God)
