Reflection by Fr. Mark


Hi,

My name is Fr. Mark Tiger, creator of this blog, I am an independent Catholic Priest.  I runs a private Oratory called Saint Titus.  (Fr. Mark of St. Titus)

I bring this message for everybody in the world:
Peace, Abundance, and Protection
For our Earth,
And all it’s inhabitants."

I call all to reflection, prayer, and a request, for the improvement of the state of our Earth.
My desire is to call all of humankind to reflect on this thought, everyday, preferably at midday, or first thing in the morning or in the evening.  I am calling all Catholics, Protestants, all Christians, and people of all other religions, as well as those who don't subscribe to a religion, and those who don't believe in God.  All of us whoever we are, Inhabit this Earth. 

I call upon everybody to reflect on the state of the Earth for a few seconds, a few minutes or an hour every day, preferably around midday.  First thing in the morning or in the evening is also OK.

want us all to think about the state of our Earth, everyday, and while we are thinking about the Earth we can use these words, or other words of similar meaning.
"Peace, Abundance, and Protection
For our Earth,
And all it's Inhabitants."

There will be occasions when the dilemma that Our Earth is going through will reach certain thresholds or breakpoints.  On these occasions Fr. Mark will publish a request on this blog to make an extra special effort to reflect, and pray for our Earth.  The details of the specific Trauma that our earth is passing through will also be mentioned or detailed.

Think about what each word will mean for our Earth:
Peace: 
The peace, and harmony, and well being that will result from all of us getting on peacefully with each other.  Think of the joy and well-being, when we are able to extend peace to all our fellow inhabitants.

Abundance:
Nobody likes to live in want, although many of us do.  As the Earth starts to become healthy and green again, we will be blessed with the fruits of the Earth Abundantly.

Protection:
Protection for all the peoples of the earth.  The ability to live in peace knowing that we are protected from crime, protected from pollution, protected from cancer causing substances, protected from foods that are unhealthy.  Our plants and animals are protected from exploitation, and extinction. 

Our Earth:
This is not just any planet spinning around a star somewhere out there in the Universe.  This is our planet that is spinning around our Sun.  This is the only planet we have ever lived on.  This is the planet that gives us life, and good health.  If Earth becomes sick, and is no longer able to support the inhabitants of the Earth, then we are in big trouble, because there is nowhere else to go.
This is our Earth, lets us all work together in whatever way we can, to make our Earth healthy.  Let us heal our Earth, because we can.

All it’s Inhabitants:
It is not just people, that live on Earth, but People, Animals and plants.  We need to live in balance with the other inhabitants of Earth, because we depend upon each other for our survival.  We all need to be in balance with each other.  We need more trees to convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen.  We need many armies of trees to turn Global Warming around.

Let us all plant at least one tree, every year from now on, to the end of our lives.  If you have access to any piece of ground, then plant as many trees as you can, as often as you can.  Our Earth needs those trees, do it for our Earth.  If you don’t have access to a piece of ground, then plant or buy and look after a Bonzai or miniature tree in a pot.  Let's all go around planting trees, indigenous trees of course, lets not damage our Earth with trees that are not adapted for the environment, and can potentially become weeds.  Let’s turn global warming around.

Let us heal our planet, starting now, and from now on every day, say these words or similar, and think about them:
"Peace, Abundance, and Protection
For our Earth,
And all it's Inhabitants."

Think about ways to heal our planet, and tell us about them.

Reflection by Fr. Mark:

Reflection is simply thinking about a subject.  Let us reflect on our planet.  Let’s see if we can come up with ways to heal our planet.  Having found ways to heal our Earth, we can start communicating these ideas with everybody who will listen.  Send them to Mark Tiger to publish on this Blog.  See if you can put your ideas into action

You do not need to belong to any religious group, or to believe in God, in order to be able to reflect.  You just need to make a conscious decision with your mind.  I am going to think about our planet for a few minutes now.  I am going to think about our Earth for a few minutes now.  I am going to think about Mother Earth for a bit now.  What can I do to start the healing process of Mother Earth?  What can I do to turn the World Green again?  Where can I plant as many trees as I possibly can? 

Can you buy a Farm, and plant large numbers of well adapted indigenous trees, instead of or in parallel to cash crops?  Would it make a difference; if every crop in the field, had a row of trees growing around the perimeter?  Should this be required by law in the future? 

Would it make a difference if every road, including highways, had a row of indigenous trees running down each side of it?  What would we need to do to get the authorities to plant indigenous trees down each side of our highways and other roads, and to look after them?  Should individuals take on the responsibility of planting trees next to the roads and looking after them?

Can we find alternatives to jet aeroplane travel; that produces less damage to our environment, in terms of carbon emissions; but still gets us safely to our destinations in an acceptable amount of time?

You may find these words helpful in your reflection:
"Peace, Abundance, and Protection
For our Earth,
And all it's Inhabitants."


God Bless,
Fr. Mark Tiger
