Gabrielle Foundiller, a young beautiful soul

Gabrielle Fondiller is the founder of Hatua Likoni, organization that gives Kenyans kids a chance to have an education. In interview to csmonitor.com she explains:" Until 2002, there was no free education on Kenya. Because of international influence, the government instituted free education in 2002, but it’s incredibly underfunded. And now, it’s receiving less funding because there’s been scandals and corruption in the Ministry of Education." Read more at:

" Anyone can start over and make a new ending"

Francisco (Chico) Xavier was a Brazilian medium with a beautiful soul. His work was recognized around the world. In 1981 and 1982, he was nominated for the Nobel peace prize. I am not spirit, but I respect the work of Chico Xavier. He wrote powerful books and left examples of love, humility and charity.
Today I want to share some phrases and thoughts of Chico Xavier:

One of the most beautiful lessons I have learned with grief: Do not judge, definitely not to judge anyone.
Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning... Anyone can start over and make a new ending.
Every little bit of peace I bring someone is worth the peace I never had.
When we have faith and discipline everything becomes easier. Patience is the mother of all virtues. With anxiety all our lives become worse.

33 How rich and deep are the wisdom and the knowledge of God! We cannot reach to the root of his decisions or his ways.

34 Who has ever known the mind of the Lord? Who has ever been his adviser?

35 Who has given anything to him, so that his presents come only as a debt returned?

36 Everything there is comes from him and is caused by him and exists for him. To him be glory for ever! Amen.

The ideal of Christian nobility

Today we celebrate St. Bernard of Clairvaux. He was the ' Doctor of the Church'.  At the 800th anniversary of his death, Pope Pius XII issued an encyclical on Bernard, Doctor Mellifluus, in which he labeled him The Last of the Fathers." Bernard did not reject human philosophy which is genuine philosophy, which leads to God; he differentiates between different kinds of knowledge, the highest being theological. Three central elements of Bernard's mariology are: how he explained the virginity of Mary, the "Star of the Sea", how the faithful should pray on the Virgin Mary, and how he relied on the Virgin Mary as Mediatrix.

I always admire the lives of the people call saints. The testimonies they left are a great example of determination and spirituality. Looking at they lives, we feel encouraged to take a journey of faith and compassion. They had a commitment for life and brotherhood. I look at their lives and ask for guidance and protection.
