I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Kahlil Gibran
To physically witness what Kahlil Gibran has "quoted" one must visit the Mahim Church on wednesdays, which is the day of the week when the novena is held.
People, of different denominations all together in prayer ! standing cheek to cheek,
It is truly an experience that one must.....
We try to go for the weekly novena, sometimes circumstances force us otherwise.
During my many such novenas, I have witnessed people crying their hearts out by just touching the frame of the picture of Mother Mary, people walking on bended knees down the main aisle says so much !
Coming back to the quote, every religion calls for peace and forgiveness and love. We are all hurt at one point of time or another, but is it so easy to forgive as our religion teaches us,? it is tough, and we have to train ourselves to do so, in any way we can, motivation, reading similar type of books or maybe the scriptures which every religion abides by.
Is it so easy to love all whom you come across ? again that is a tough call, but that does not mean you have to embrace everyone that you meet. You just have to live peacefully and love will follow ... peace and love have always gone hand in hand, And every religion teaches us to be good human beings, truly we are sons of one religion.
Thats a really strong quote. Where'd you come across it? Nice post :)I remember id been to mahim a few times when i was younger not been recently, maybe il make a visit :)
