[GMW #2634] Like The Saints - Ask What Good Will I Do Today?


[GMW #2634] Like The Saints - Ask What Good Will I Do Today? Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3031 ~   

I always dreamt that St. Francis and St. Claire would be declared saints of the United Nations.  I recommended it to Pope John Paul II.  At least I obtained the following blessing for the UN University for Peace:

The Franciscans International decided to erect a beautiful prayer place and bust of the saint in the gardens of the University for Peace.  The event was in honor of the common ideals of St. Francis and of the University: peace, love for God's nature and simple and frugal lives, not to tax unduly our Mother Earth.

On 11 March 2000 the Franciscans held a celebration and a Mass for the bimillennium at that shrine.  It happened to be also my birthday, the reaching of the age of seventy-seven.  At that ceremony I expressed these dreams:

- that in this new millennium every country will celebrate a saint, a noble woman or man who left behind a great inspirational model of life and a message of elevation and hope for all humanity;

- that in many places on Earth church bells, gongs and muezzins will announce again everyday the resurrection of light and day;

- that radio and television programs around the world will start each day with a sacred song e.g. the Ave Maria by Gounod or the Ode to Joy by Beethoven, as thanks to God for the miracle of life;

- that all humans, be they heads of states, artists, religious leaders, business people, educators, scientists, fathers and mothers will ask themselves the question: what good will I do today?

Weed out of your life carefully all bad elements.  If not, they will proliferate and smother the good ones.
