Be the change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi)

I am concerned with some of what is happening to parts of the world in which I live.
I don't like some of the changes in my culture. I want other changes that haven't happened yet.

I'm a Catholic Christian. I hear and read people suggesting all kinds of actions and programmes that might make a difference. Rarely does anyone mention praying before acting, yet I believe the scripture verse that says: Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build.(Verse 1 of Psalm 127)

So I have decided to do what Gandhi suggests, and to start today to pray for the CHANGE THAT GOD WANTS not just in our culture, but in our behaviour, and in our personal attitudes.

I could do with the support of knowing that other people might be willing to do this also, so I invite you to make a start. There is a facility for you to make a comment if you wish at the end of this blog-post.
