Thursday after Ash Wednesday 2019
My PLDT fibre line is off again, this is 5th time this year that the internet that I'm subscribing with is off and a bit frustrating since you've paid enough, trust them they can help you on this online job. I have a backup line pre-paid globe wifi which I'm loaded few weeks ago and also a prepaid smartbro. Funny both of them is crawling :D but at least it allows me to post this.
Todays Gospel starts with the word of Dear Jesus to all, "If anyone wants to come with me, he must forget himself carry his cross and follow me." I've been memorizing this though I dont know the verse number of that word but it still reminds me. As the Catholics enter this lenten season, reflecting on those words that every actions of our life , mine especially, calls to be with him whatever the decisions that needs to do. Only through him, I will be prosperous.
"What profit is there for one to gain the whole world,yet lose or forfeit himself?" - indeed.
Somebody quoted this long ago, I think some priest-turned-rebel in Visayas who quoted this. I dont know what happened to that guy but judging on what is currently happening on the communist movement, its seems a very frustrating path to go, and seems hopeless.
Faith with Him that we holds is always full of hope. And I see for myself the various miracles of life, even to the smallest happening in my life.
This event of not having a good internet, I just dont know, but there are positive things that you will only see once you see the other side of the event.
Id like to quote V.I. Lenin, one of the name in Marxist-Leninist-Maoist movement, "I made a mistake. Without doubt, an oppressed multitude had to be liberated. But our method only provoked further oppression and atrocious massacres. My living nightmare is to find myself lost in an ocean of red with the blood of innumerable victims. It is too late now to alter the past, but what was needed to save Russia were ten Francis of Assisi’s"
I hope and pray that our nation Philippines stays in course with Him, sharing the blessings this life. God blesses us all.
