Maryam of Bethlehem - The little Arab (book)

By -

 Man is not made for things that would pass way. We are made for things of heaven. Man must prepare, starting this minute, for his eternity. It is the soul that chooses the essence of his own eternity. Maryam reminds us that things that will pass away will pass away. Let’s attach ourselves to things that we can keep and taste for all eternity. 


In Purgatory, what purifies us is neither punishment not suffering in itself but the fire of Love. Everyone meets God at the moment of his death. Then out of love for him we are overwhelmed with extreme sorrow at having loved him so little on earth.

The souls of Purgatory are happy to be saved. However, they are in a state of a dark night as they do not yet see this Beloved God. Those who are in great love can relate to this - to no longer able to see the loved one after tasting his ineffable love is an agony for the heart.

We opened our beautiful Saturday morning, 8th April 2017 with a Gasing hike. 22 angelic 😇😇 members joined the fun. Our CHOICE friend, Ali  on the other hand, had no choice but to come to honour the 'memorandum of understanding' that was made with the CHOICE team. Ahem.. thank you people for persistently attending  morning mass for this purpose 😂😂😁. He also came for health reasons la.. This is the story of our Ali. As he was hiking Gasing hill for the first time, he saw this... Wahlaowei... he muttered. Dia pun berkata, "Merenung masa depan, turun tak boleh, naik lagi tak boleh😜😜😜."  hahahah, jangan marah Alis  And then... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... He is still there😆😜 Sitting like a meditating Buddha. Already bertaubat d from He is also very sweet and 'helpful' "Cherry, u ok? I jaga u ar..."😂😂 " Cherry, jum duduk jap"😂😂😜😜 Alex

How many of you have witnessed a meteor shower??  A bunch of us got really excited when we got to know that this phenomenon can be witnessed in a few spots outside of KL and we just decided to drive down to Sekinchan, Kuala Selangor after our roadshow in Our Lady of Fatima, Brickfields. The phenomenon was expected to take place around 1.30am. We reached at 1.15am, thanks to our 2fast&furious drivers👏👏 and then we waited anxiously for the meteors. We waited.... Waited.... And waited... for hours... but all we saw was the beach and the dark sky😓😓😓 We weren't discouraged though. When a gang of choicees gather, there's bound to be silly jokes, lots of fun and laughter...till we scared all the people at the beach who were there before us. That is how noisy we were..HAHAHAHA After hours of waiting, we decided to head home before the sun comes up. Despite the sleepless night, our champion Joy Nathan managed to complete the 5km colour run, that morning.

But for some reason the beastly romance 😂😂😂 melted most our ladies hearts and naturally our gentlemen had to sacrifice the action (for lent time - amen) and tagged along. Poor Eric was one example... Had to defect to the 'other' side.. Hahahahha. Just kidding la... but seriously, t he guys were nobody was victimised here.. . We all had fun *wink* One thing is for sure... none of us turned Gay!!! Awwww the sweetest ppl in the house!  However, I must say, the most remarkable person was our loving Mama bear . Thank you for making this movie date happened!
