"Teaching music is not my main purpose .I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart."

 Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes. Since every man who lives is born to die, and none can boast sincere felicity, with equal mind, what happens, let us bear, nor joy nor grieve too much for things beyond our care. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus?

Re "50 Years Have Taken Toll on Gandhi's Influence in India," Jan. 30: Mohandas K. Gandhi preached and practiced that when one is at peace with himself or herself, no external force or power can disturb it. Nonviolence and self-sufficiency were the vehicles to attain that goal of peace.His underlying message was that one cannot be happy by breeding hatred against anyone, and no amount of money can fulfill a person's greed if one chooses that course. These principles have proven the test of time. Gandhi set an example by practicing them and led others to follow in those footsteps. The association of Gandhi with these principles may fade, but these principles do not lose their values.

And St. John then says that the only thing which we can truly bring to Christ as our gift is faith. We can't bring love, because we can't love enough; we can't bring repentance, because we return to our sin; we can't bring real effort, because we always fall short of the effort needed. So the only thing we can bring is faith, and our faith in Jesus Christ justifies us and makes it possible for us to share in His resurrection. But by this faith, "we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" and "access to this grace in which we stand." We have been given access to the Kingdom of God, we are made citizens of heaven. We no longer live as citizens of this world, but of the next.

But then St. Paul says we rejoice in our sufferings. We don't just accept them, we don't just expect them: we rejoice in them. This sounds very strange to the human ear.
