Pensil Hidup: Beri Mereka Makan!

Rabu, 14 Mei 2008

No one can worship God or love his neighbour

on an empty stomact..

Dengan perut yang kosong, orang tidak dapat

menyembah Allah dan mengasihi sesama.

Agama dan Tuhan menjadi bolong,

ketika perut menjadi kosong,

saat itu manusia menjadi garong,

berebut sekalipun itu sebutir kacang polong.

Lihatlah:

Bukankah kelaparan adalah induk dari kriminalitas modern?

Starvation is the parent of modern crime!

Sesayup ku dengar suara yang kukenal:
jawabNya: "Kamu harus memberi mereka makan!"

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
