Take Courage!
Japanese Bishop: 'We Must Take Courage'
“The Church in Japan will respond to the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan with prayer and solidarity,” said Bishop Marcellinus Daiji Tani of Saitama, responding the March 11 disaster that has claimed over 10,000 victims. “We must take courage, with the help of the Holy Spirit.”
“This sad event reminds us that life is in the hands of God and that life is a gift from God,” he added. “It will be a challenge for all of us to practice and witness to the commandment of love and brotherly love, in this time of Lent.”
Caritas Japan has launched a fundraising campaign to assist earthquake survivors.
“I believe in Japan currently, marked by the economic crisis, struck by the social phenomenon of depression and suicide, this painful event may be an opportunity to spread the values of the Gospel, that is, the fraternity of all men and women, the building of common good, the recognition that every person has the dignity of a child of God and is important in the eyes of God,” [even the unborn!] said Father Daisuke Narui, Caritas Japan’s executive director. “If, with our work and our witness, we can communicate that, then from this evil will come good.”
0.4% of the nation’s 127.7 million people are Catholic, according to Vatican statistics. 84% are Shinto and Buddhist.

Rules of living one's Christian life
I have read this before but I myself wonder why I haven't shared it to my TPC readers. My bad.
This is an excellent way to live one's life in a more profound witnessing to one's calling as a Christian. Suggestions which we can take to heart.
I share to you the Ten Rules of Life of the Servant of God, Cardinal François-Xavier Nguyễn Văn Thuận.
He suffered greatly from the persecutions of the Communists. An interesting anecdote...The pectoral cross that he wore until his death was one that he made with two small pieces of wood when he was in jail; he protected the cross hiding it in a piece of soap so that his jailers would not confiscate it; when he was freed, he covered the wooden cross with a coat of metal.

Ten Rules of Life
I will live the present moment to the fullest.
I will discern between God and God’s works.
I will hold firmly to one secret: prayer.
I will see in the Holy Eucharist my only power.
I will have only one wisdom: the science of the Cross.
I will remain faithful to my mission in the Church and for the Church as a witness of Jesus Christ.
I will seek the peace the world cannot give.
I will carry out a revolution by renewal in the Holy Spirit.
I will speak one language and wear one uniform: Charity.
I will have one very special love: The Blessed Virgin Mary.
