St.Francis Namesake

ST. FRANCIS' Namesake

Giving up the riches...
Choosing to outreach
Poor & the needy
Prayerful & Humble
St. Francis has captured the world
Manytimes over for the Almighty!

Thank GOD for our Papa Francis
Whose words flow like water
Filling the dry souls and
Nurishing the weakened heart

Like fire melting hearts of iron
Burning the evil from dark corners
He is bringing new light
He is bringing new hope

GOD Bless Our Pope, Francis
The one great Human
Of the Holy See
Walking the walk
Talking the talk
Humble & Holy Namesake
of St. Francis of Assisi!

Back Porch Vineyard!

Nothing's cooler than
Reading... 
Under the umbrella shade 
On a hot summer day!

Fenced in with grape vines...
Oh, Heavenly!











Miss you, Miss you.... and miss you, mummy!

Tumblr Birthday!

The Father and
The Son, both born
On the same day, yet
Generations apart
Linked through
Her Blessed self...

Mary the Mother
Blessed of all! And
Mother of mine
Blessed as well
For her father and
Son born the same day

Only generations apart, yet
Truly loved in her heart!

My Mother's Day Rose

So Blessed I am.... to be YOUR Daughter!

Ruah!

The snow doesn't freeze me

The wind doesn't chill me - now

That I am--pure as--the snow flake and

That cold wind swirling it free...

Poetry: Copyright ©2012VeerajaR

"Ruah" is a Hebrew word for SPIRIT!

I love it because it also means "Breath of GOD"

Power of Prayer: St. Anthony's Feast!

When we traveled in 2010, we happened to have missed St. Anthony's feast day--in the air, literally! My husband was sad, but was quiet about it.

Miraculously, we were saved! When we visited Manipay St. Anthony's church--the one where mummy used to go and pray for me--we were in for a surprise. They were having the St. Anthony's feast parade that morning and we were there without even knowing it. You can imagine how happy and blessed we felt.

We learned that they could not have parade on the actual St. Anthony's feast day and had postponed the festival which happened to fall on the day we visited. Too many factors had to come together for this near miracle to occur. It can not be a mere coincidence.

Once again we were reminded that there is someone who hears our sincere prayers and can make things happen. I am a believer married to a believer... who is the answer to mummy's prayers for me.

Love YOU mummy!

I am your daughter,

Bountiful Blessings

As children me and my brother were blessed to have our grandma feed us with Mangoes, Pomegranates,Papaya, Annamunna & Jack fruits from her bountiful garden. She kept watch over the Papayas very closely, because at the slightest sign of yellow they would be pecked by many a fruit-loving birds and squirrels. Believe me these Papayas were the best.

I feel blessed to have witnessed this exotic woodpecker feasting on the bountiful papaya tree in mummy's Jessie Villa backyard. It has been so long seeing an actual Papaya tree with lushes fruits. A whole day I had been watching wood pecker, Song birds, squirrel & crows having a feast on the smallest of the bunch. I didn't get to taste these, but I can tell from the crowd that came to feed, it must have been very tasty. This smallest fruit seemed to stretch so much to feed so many hungry souls; hard not to be in awe of GOD's Grace...!

A Very Blessed NEW YEAR, 2012!

May GOD be the center of our lives...

Day and night

May he protect & guide us!

Rampant tornadoes passed me by

Roaring thunders turned to lullaby

On your palm you hold me Lord

In my heart thy words pulse loud!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

GOD so loved us all...

He came to live among us

And is guiding us all

Like the star that lead

Three wise-men of orient

See the holy child at Bethlehem!

Queen Elizabeth & Lady Bug!

Who wove those petals silkier than the best Indian silk

Who perfected the curves smooth as China porcelain

Why any maiden's cheeks turn pale against my Queen Elizabeth

Whose touch turns any red Ladybug golden!

On Your Palm: Thanksgiving 2011

Across the oceans, my GOD you took me

Amidst strange lands, life you brought me

My mother's dream for me to fulfill

Thy grace did guide me up the hill.

On your palm you hold me Lord

In my heart I pulse your word!

I am my Mother's daughter...

Devotion!

What made me my mother's daughter

What made you see and hear

What awe I felt in my soul - for

What I am blessed to be

What angel you be and

What that I am

What good we be... is all

What HE... my God wishes...!
