Còn ai nghe những lời Thầy nói đây, mà chẳng đem ra thực hành, thì ví được như người ngu dại xây nhà trên cát. Gặp mưa sa, nước cuốn hay bão táp ập vào, nhà ấy sẽ sụp đổ, sụp đổ tan tành". (Mt 7,26-27)
Siêu bão Sandy cuối tháng 10/2012:
Preliminary estimates of losses due to damage and business interruption are estimated at $65.6 billion (2012 USD), which would make it the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane, behind only Hurricane Katrina. At least 253 people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries.
Right Living and Right Speaking
To be a witness for God is to be a living sign of God's presence in the world. What we live is more important than what we say, because the right way of living always leads to the right way of speaking. When we forgive our neighbours from our hearts, our hearts will speak forgiving words. When we are grateful, we will speak grateful words, and when we are hopeful and joyful, we will speak hopeful and joyful words.
When our words come too soon and we are not yet living what we are saying, we easily give double messages. Giving double messages - one with our words and another with our actions - makes us hypocrites. May our lives give us the right words and may our words lead us to the right life. (Nouwen W)
