Sad Viewpoint to see life as a "curse": Mother ‘cursed’ with six sets of twins
Mother ‘cursed’ with six sets of twins struggles to scrape a living
The "curse" is not the twins. Also, the Bukusu community, to which her family belongs, believe twins bring bad luck, and that unless one of them dies, it means certain death for one or both parents. :-( Let's pray for these superstitions to be overcome with Truth.

Egyptian revolt not only political but also spiritual and Islamic
Egyptian revolt not only political but also spiritual and Islamic
Muslim intellectuals and theologians draw the prospects for a change even in Islam: the value of women and fraternisation of sexes; rejection of fundamentalist Salafism, seeking a religion of the heart and freedom, against the formalism of the veil, the beard and abstruse ritual practices. And above all, they welcome secularism, the separation of Islam from politics.

Abortion, a Thai tragedy in a sick society, says the Church
The discovery of 2,002 foetuses abandoned near a Buddhist temple in Bangkok sparks a national debate. Each year, between 110,000 and 130,000 illegal abortions are performed out of just over a million pregnancies, “a figure that is frightening” according to a specialist. For Mgr Kovithavanij, “Nobody mentions the ethical conduct and virtue of the family. Christian teaching promotes and supports respect for life.”

(P307) Message of 29th December 2010, given at Borg in-Nadu
My children, the year is coming to a close and where are you to be found? What have you accomplished this year? Did you move forward or backward? If you have remained where you were, make sure that for the coming year you do not stay this way. Get going. Do not remain stuck, my children. This is why my Son Jesus is sending me here: so as to draw you to him. Commence a new year - indeed my children - seriously get about starting a year that is new. If you are one of those who came to a halt, start up again.
Do not allow your past to thrash you. Do not remain trapped in the past, since you tend to be battered by it and remain stuck in it. The past is over and gone. It is the devil’s activity, my children, to confound you and cause you to remain trapped.
And as to you, young people, what will you be about next year? Will you allow yourselves to be influenced by what your friends say? Are you ashamed to show that you are Christians? At meetings, do you join in with the way the others express themselves just to please them? Be men and women! Do not fear anything. Wrong is wrong and right is right.
Come along, my children, set out on a new year. Let the year that you are facing be beneficial to you and to your families. Come to my Son Jesus, my children. Come to him for he loves you and does not want you to be lost. He is love. Beatitude comes once and for ever; perdition comes once and for ever.
Finally, I wish you to pray for the Church and for the Pope. Presently the Church is going through hard times. You may be of help to the Church yourselves by your presence as well as with something simple: by fingering the beads of the rosary.
Say the rosary! Say the rosary and get others to say the rosary. Say the rosary and get others to say the rosary.
Thank you for having listened to my call.

This seems a good message to us all, thus I post it.
(P308) Message of 5th January 2011, given at Borg in-Nadur
At this moment there was a dialogue between the Lady and Carmen Minuti by means of Angelik.
Lady: Carmen, you are a house-wife just as I was, is it not so?
Carmen: Yes.
Lady: You have a family. You take care of the family and have much house-work to get done. Is it not so?
Carmen: Yes, Lady.
Lady: Naturally you would have big bundles of clothes to wash. Is it not so Carmen?
Carmen: Yes, that too.
Lady: When you occasionally have a larger than usual wash what do you do while it dries out Carmen?
Carmen: I get down to other work while the clothes dry.
Lady: And what if it is winter and the weather would not hold, what do you do then Carmen, while they dry out?
Carmen: I leave them indoors and turn on the heating.
Lady: If once it so happens that you leave them out to dry while being away from home, what do you then Carmen?
Carmen: I would be very upset since they would not have dried up.
Lady: And if you happen to hear thunder and to see lightning and dark clouds rising, what do you do then Carmen?
Carmen: I would quickly bring them in.
Lady: Why would you bring the clothes in, Carmen?
Carmen: So that they would not get wet.
Lady: Well done Carmen! Your answers were good.
Are you seeing, my children, how careful you are with your belongings - material things? At the moment there is thunder rolling everywhere - in every part of the world and the lightning is also appearing from within the dark clouds and the dark clouds are coming up, my children! Yet just now, the rain has not started falling. If it chances to start falling it will not stop and will cause great damage, my children. You have no control on the effects of a might and strong rainstorm. Indeed, my children, I am telling you that the dark clouds are rising over the world and no one is seeing it.
I have already said it on other occasions: darkness over the family, abortion, abuse on children, divorce, drugs, suicide-attacks, wars, violence, the wrong use of the Internet. This is the darkness that is covering the whole world. You are oblivious to the fact that soon the rain will begin to lash. All believe themselves to be getting along comfortably and no one is realizing that the storm is impending. Then it will be useless to open up your umbrella - because it will break - for it will be too late. Open the umbrella before the storm strikes. Keep the umbrella in your hands. Do not leave it idle. My children, you know what I am referring to: the rosary-beads. Only it is able to protect you from this storm that is coming onto the world - or rather that has slowly begun while you still do not realize it.
Which round-table meeting will manage to put these things right? What will they manage to arrange by their joint forces? My children, in your country too all this is being felt and the darkness has become visible as well. Do you not comprehend that it is now almost five years that I have been setting foot on this, your island? Indeed my children, this is why my Son Jesus is sending me here. Indeed, this is why: to see to it that you are prepared with umbrellas in hand. And do not be ashamed to finger it. Only it is capable of freeing you from trials and from the ancient enemy: the devil.
Thank you for having listened to my call.
