the sign
"Lord, give me a sign..." no, i haven't fallen victim to overly melodramatic movie lines. on the other hand, i actually did use these words while attending mass last sunday (Redemptorist, Cebu City). you see, i have been increasingly dissatisfied with matters regarding the church but not necessarily my faith. to a point that i am debating whether i should even attend mass. i was asking myself if i wanted to attend mass given the fact that the church is getting more political. sure, i understand liberation theology and standing up for what is morally right. but that is exactly the same thing that has been bothering me, the moral thingy. the local church is proclaiming that the current administration has no moral leadership. i am not refuting that claim, on the other hand, the church could have said the same thing about itself. except that they rather not comment on anything when it comes to issues facing the institutional church. and there are tons of dirt, make that hun...
Comments
i am deeply touched with you posting our pictures in your personal blog; friend, nakaka-humble pa ang title ng entry na ito!
i couldnt help but get misty eyed to have been acknowledged as your bestfriend - and so publicly at that! you're the best, chikko!
thank you, friend, for the pictures & the personal "tribute" in your blog. i was kinda curious what you would have written there about me, and matthew, our wedding - but i might be asking too much na, di ba? ;)
anyway, ingat lagi & thank you for including me in your mailing list. its always a pleasure to be able to read your entries - i could actually hear you when i read thru them; you make me laugh till i end up with tears in my eyes; you make me ponder about things i take for granted or forget about kasi i'm busy dealing with my own challenges out here.
till next comment or chat, matthew says hi and we both wish you well.
hugs & beso from me to you. mwah!
