Have Voice, Will Say!

A Delhi based textbook publisher named 'Skyline Publications' published textbooks showing Jesus with tin beer and cigar and was blamed to have indulged in blasphemy.

Well what about the Education Board of that state (Meghalaya) was it sleeping? It is they who need to be pulled up.

The book has been used for primary classes and has caused a furore in the north-eastern state, where more than 70% of the population are Christians.

Wow! so yet again Jesus has been sullied, and his image maligned. Well! but look at the picture used. It is that of 'Sacred heart of Jesus' what more needs to be said of the perpetrator of this crime of publishing such a picture that he/she still believed in the 'Divine Mercy' in the 'Sacred Heart of Jesus' and the peaceful existence of his followers that he/she could take such liberties.

But need I warn the culprits of something called Divine Justice!
Assam, Orissa, Gujarat have seen it already! in the form of Floods, Earthquakes etc.

Now that you have been forewarned! and what luck we are in the Lenten Time!
A time specially set aside for repentance and cleansing.
And as the priest says while imposing the Ash on the forehead on Ash Wednesday!

Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.
—Genesis 3:19
Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.
—Mark 1:15
Repent, and hear the good news.

—Mark 1:15

And heres something which should help you seek and gain forgiveness!

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy!

Instructions on how to pray the Chaplet:
Start: the Crucifix
Make the Sign of the Cross.
Optional opening prayer:
"Thou didst expire, Lord Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Thyself out upon us."
(3 times) "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in Thee!"
Pray the Our Father.
Pray the Hail Mary.
Recite the Apostles' Creed.
On the large bead before each of the five decades (set of ten prayers):
"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Thy Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."

On each small "Hail Mary" bead:
"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

After five decades, conclude by saying three times:
"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
'Latin:"Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortalis, miserere nobis et totius mundi."(This prayer is based on the Trisagion of the Eastern tradition.)

Concluding prayer:
"Eternal God, in Whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Thy mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Thy holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen."
