Grace To Be Born re-visited

October 30, 2013

By Zek Santos

Later, we went to Grace to Be Born center where we met and played with the babies. Their names are Bryan, Nicole and Mary Grace. I taught Mary Grace also how to walk. Then we  went home afterwards.

(Rowin: This year’s October 30 is the 5^th death anniversary of our beloved Maia. We visited the GTB center and let Aim and Zek played with the lovely and friendly children. There were presently 4 toddlers and 4 infants in the center. Each child has a silent story to tell of how the intervention of kind souls prevented the tragic loss of their lives.

Thanks to Tita Ester, GTB administrator for allowing us this meaningful visit) 

Prayer for Peace from KICC

Lord Jesus, we come to You in our need.

Create in us an awareness of the massive forces of conflict 

that threatens our world today.

And grant us a sense of urgency to activate 

the forces of goodness, of justice, of love and of peace.

Where there is armed conflict, let us stretch out our arms 

to our brothers and sisters.

Where there is abundance, let there be 

simple life style and sharing.

Where there is poverty, let there be 

dignified living and constant striving of just structures.

Where there is selfish ambitions, let there be humble service.

Where there is injustices, let there be atonement.

Where there is despair, let there be 

hope in the Good news.

Where there are wound of division, 

let there be unity and wholeness.

Help us to be committed to the building of Your kingdom, 

not seeking to be cared for but to care; 

not expecting to be served but to put ourselves in 

the service of the others; 

not aspiring to be materially secure 

but to place our security in Your love.

Teach us Your spirit, for it is only in 

loving imitation of You, Lord, 

that we can discover the healing 

springs of life that will bring about 

new birth to our earth and hope for the world.

Amen.

Our Lady, Queen of Peace,

Pray for us.

Amen.
