All I Have Is Yours, Lord: A Reflection on Grace and Gratitude

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE All I Have Is Yours, Lord A reflection on grace, gratitude, humility and the beauty of surrender What do I have that I did not receive? What can I truly claim as mine apart from grace? There are moments when we need to pause and look beyond our achievements, possessions, abilities and ambitions. We may work hard for what we accomplish, make sacrifices for our families and spend years developing our talents. Yet, beneath every achievement lies a deeper truth: life itself is a gift.

The prayer “All I Have Is Yours, Lord” expresses a heart that no longer wishes to live only for possession, recognition or personal glory. It is the quiet acknowledgement that everything entr...

European Day of the Righteous – 6th March

🌍 European Day of the Righteous – 6th March

Remembering Courage • Defending Human Dignity • Choosing Moral Responsibility

European Day of the Righteous, observed on 6th March, honors individuals who stood up against crimes against humanity, totalitarianism, genocide, and injustice—often at great personal risk. The day is officially recognized by the Council of Europe and observed across Europe and beyond.

This day reminds us that one person’s moral courage can protect humanity itself.

🌱 Who Are “The Righteous”?

“The Righteous” are people who:

  • Resisted genocide and mass persecution

  • Defended human rights under oppressive regimes

  • Protected victims despite danger to themselves

  • Chose conscience over fear

They include educators, diplomats, doctors, artists, journalists, neighbors—ordinary people who made extraordinary ethical choices.

🌍 Why 6 March Matters

European Day of the Righteous emphasizes that:

  • Evil is enabled by silence, not strength

  • Moral responsibility belongs to individuals, not only institutions

  • Remembering courage helps prevent future atrocities

The day is linked symbolically to the memory of those who saved lives during the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity, and to all who resist injustice today.

🌍 Relevance in the Modern World

In times of:

  • War and conflict

  • Rising intolerance and hate

  • Attacks on human rights

  • Authoritarian pressure

The example of the Righteous reminds society that ethical choices are always possible—even under the harshest conditions.

🎨 An Artistic Reflection

From an artistic lens, righteousness is quiet bravery.

A hand extended.
A door opened.
A truth spoken when silence was safer.

Art keeps these choices alive—
so courage does not fade into statistics.

🕊️ How to Observe European Day of the Righteous

  • Learn about individuals who defended human dignity

  • Teach moral courage in schools and communities

  • Honor modern defenders of human rights

  • Reflect on personal responsibility in times of injustice

  • Stand against hatred, discrimination, and indifference

Remembering the righteous is a form of moral education.

🔚 Conclusion – Courage Is a Choice

European Day of the Righteous reminds us that:

  • History is shaped by individual decisions

  • Humanity survives through courage

  • Silence is a choice—but so is resistance

Let 6 March inspire us to choose dignity, truth, and responsibility—every day.

When one person stands for humanity, humanity stands taller.

The duration of the gaze, facial expression, relationship, situation and surrounding behaviour changed its possible meaning. Eye conta...

RECOGNISE • REASSESS • RELEASE • REDIRECT The Question That Can Change Your Next Decision Have you ever continued watching a film you disliked simply because you had already paid for the ticket?
