Note to Self: "TU LÀ CÕI PHÚC" là một câu sai?

https://youtu.be/gmWBp-E8i5E?si=1jvVG8-8eVFRnRHe


Đúng: Tu là cội phúc.
Cội là nguồn, là gốc


Mãn: đầy, tràn đầy, nhiều.
Mạn: lâu dài. Bệnh mạn tính không phải bệnh mãn tính.


G7 đọc đúng ra là "ghê bẩy" không phải "gờ bẩy" . Nhưng dùng sai lâu quá nên quên, tưởng là đúng.


Tu là sửa mình, là huấn luyện bản thân.

"As with the Apostles, the Lord has asked each of us to cross to the other side, to leave behind our old ways to travel with Him in the little ship of the Church." 

It stroke me that I need to deny myself.

When I sat on the Church and listened to the Gospel, I thought about my beloved mother. She just crossed to the other side.
