THOUGHT FOR THE DAY


Thought of the Day

It is too difficult to think nobly when we think of our livelihood.
– Jean Jacques Rousseau

6 January

  • Patron Saint: St Honore’
  • Epiphany of the Lord

Happy Birthday to:

Commemorating:

  • The birth of Joan of Arc in the French village of Domremy in 1412.

 

 

I love the above quote.  It very well observed.

It is true that being noble is put aside or forgotten when it comes into conflict with earnings and  livelihood, especially if you have dependents who rely solely on you for everything.

Suddenly you join the rat race in a dog-eat-dog world.

The Three Kings..Approaching

Blogs Christianity Christmas Time Did you know? People Philippines Religion

three-wise-men-star Tomorrow 6th    January is Epiphany, the 12th day after Christmas Day (all Xmas decorations must be removed and put away). The feast day  celebrates the Three Kings visit to Baby Jesus. However, did you know that there were originaly six kings not 3?  Only three reached Bethlehem. The 4th went to the USA, the 5th to China and the 6th to the Philippines. Their names were BURGER KING, CHOWKING & TAPA KING, respectively. 😉

This witty observation was made by Fr Bel.R. San Luis, SVD introducing the true meaning of tomorrow’s important date in the Christian calendar. But his funny comment does reflect todays age of all powerful consumerism dominating our lives with competing service between God and Mammon.
