Why doesn’t the Government of India care?

Posted by Terry Nelson on Oct 1st, 2008

And why doesn’t the rest of the world notice?

Hindu extremists will not relent with their terrorism and carnage, and they continue to go unpunished by the Indian Government, while Christians are being slowly exterminated.  It is not ethnic cleansing this time - it is religious cleansing, and the secular world doesn’t care.

Christian woman axed to death in Orissa. 

“In a pre-dawn attack in two villages in the eastern Indian state of Orissa, Hindu radicals attacked sleeping Christian families, killing one person and injuring ten. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the violence and urged the state government to act to ‘ensure law and order and protection to life and property of all citizens.’ UCA News reported that the homes of 4,500 Christians have been burned and that 50,000 are now hiding in the forest. “ - Catholic Culture

Turning a blind eye.

We looked away in Rwanda and elsewhere in Africa; we still look away at Christians persecuted in Iraq and other Muslim countries; and now we look away as Hindus slaughter their Christian brothers and sisters in escalating and uncontrolled violence.  Is it racism permitting a grizzly kind of population control while we go about exploiting poor countries, that allows us to turn a blind eye?  Or is it an underlying secularism, even a hatred for religion?  I don’t know.  I just don’t know.

Feast of St. Therese of Lisieux

Posted by Terry Nelson on Oct 1st, 2008

Humility, simplicity, poverty of spirit, and trust in God.

These were the virtues Therese taught her novices as regards the “little way”.  From Sr. Genevieve of St. Teresa (Celine):

“The essence of her instructions was to teach us not to be upset when we saw ourselves as the personification of weakness, and to tell us to be diligent in loving, because ‘love covers a multitude of sins’.  As she once said: ‘It is easy to please Jesus, to enrapture his Heart; you have only to love him, without looking at yourselves, without spending too much time examining your own faults.’” - St. Therese by Those who Knew Her

Happy feast day everyone.  Angie - I hope she showered you with roses!
