If You Are With A Suicide Bomber, What Will You Do?

If you realize that the person in front of you, or a foot away from you is a suicide bomber, what will you do? 

Suicide bombers are there because they want us to be terrorized, to be paralyzed by fear.

And when our mind is not conditioned to really counter the fear, when we are on that situation on that very second, we can be paralyzed by fear.


So to counter it, we should condition our mind for it.  Research, google on stuff about it. Encourage the town officials to conduct self-defense training. Increase social alertness, not just awareness.

For ourselves, what do we do?  Like, once we come across a suspicious person, say the person is sitting beside us watching basketball in the arena, wearing bomb vest and looking agitated, what do we do about it? Do we wait for some other people to notice it?  If we are very sure about the person, and there's no time, how do we keep their hands away from detonating the bomb? 

We have the Police forces. But what if the bad elements slip the sight of the police?  What if they succeed passing through the security and are able to mingle with the crowd, with us?  Then, nobody else then can help us but ourselves.  That chance to stop the criminal falls in our very own hands.

We gotta be able to do something when that scenario takes place.

Things like this we should think about nowadays.  Because it is happening.  No one can tell when it can happen next.  And we have to do our own part to be protected, and to protect others.   Without our own participation, divine intervention just don't happen.  We make it happen.

Whatever is driving the suicide bombers to do what they do, we should muster the courage to be able to give our lives too to counter them.  If they think they are brave on what they are doing, we should show them that we are braver not to let them succeed.  

We need to be tougher than them.  Fiercer than them.  Ready to become heroes in a split second if that's what it takes to save more lives.

Easier said than done.  But there's got to be a point when we can say to ourselves 'am ready to give my life for others.'


"God help us to do what we need to do, to be what we need to be, to win over evil."

Remedy for Occasional Spiritual Amnesia

19 7 Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME"  (Luke 22:19) God knew that without Jesus, we cannot live up to our commitment to God. He knew we will have amnesia at some point. Or worse, not just 'at some point'.  We do have amnesia every now and then! One day, we are so spiritually high. Next day, we are floating in a sea of desperation. One day, we kneel down promising to be a good Christian, Next day, we are spewing fire over anything we can imagine. We forget. No matter how often we profess our commitment to God. We do forget. We do forget. WE DO. WE DO. WE REALLY REALLY DO! AND THAT IS WHY JESUS SAID " Do this in remembrance of me."   The Holy Communion . First celebrated in the Last Supper. Continuously being done in every single Holy Catholic Mass!   So we don't forget Him. So, if someone asks you why ta

Christians and Muslims United At Last!

The Unity of Two Worlds This  is the proof that with God, even the most damaged relationship can be healed.   For all of us who have been brain-washed by media for hundreds of years, making us think that Muslims are bad people, let the Christians who have lived and co-existed with them be heard:  the Muslims who are true to their religion are very loving people.  In the same way that the Christians who are true to their religions live the teachings of Jesus by heart and are loving people too. The Christians in UAE thank  His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, for such a loving heart, allowing our highest religious leader to set his feet in UAE.  We thank also our Pope Francis for being true to his mission, reaching out and becoming the channel of peace.  If one of this two heads refused the prodding of the Holy Spirit, this crucial, memorable historical event would not have taken place.  They are like Jesus and Mary saying
