Find Rest, Give Rest



"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." 
Mt. 11:28-30

I'm happy to know that you're safe kapasahero. My sincere prayer is with you and to all especially to those properties and love ones are greatly affected by the recent typhoon Glenda.

My friend, I don't know how to start.
When you see trees and electric posts on the ground,
Crops ruined, houses flat, friends crying, and lives lost;
It's really hard to speak, to write.

But somehow, today's Gospel made me compose.
For I found a loud assurance from it.
What assurance?
The assurance that we're not alone. We Filipinos are never alone.
We have a God of rest and of restoration. 

I invite you kapasahero,
Today let us come to Him, in prayer and in trust.
Together, let us find strength and rest in His yoke of peace and of love.
It is only in Him, with Him, and through Him we can truly share the strength and rest to others. 

P.S.
Let us all share whatever we have: time, talent, and treasure. Especially to the lost, the least and the forgotten. And for those who practice the 'PASAHERO TICKET' oras natin 'to, tulong tayo!

Be Healed

“Healthy people do not need a doctor, but sick people do.” Mt. 9:12

You and I have a doctor, and the good news is that He’s always on call.
Actually, He’s better than that- He comes before we call on Him.
And like a mother who is soothing his ill son with gentle massages,
Our doctor soothes us with His gentle forgiveness.

Indeed, you and I need not to go weary, afraid and lonely.
For every time we are in sickness and in pain of sin,
Healing is possible, very possible!
Again, for you and I have a Doctor,
Never isolating but forever forgiving.

Today, allow Him to heal you.
