On May 8th last year... A draft but more than anything else. . .

Today is the 85th birthday of my Lola Giging. I'm so excited for her. The family is preparing a big surprise for her.

Meanwhile, this morning I woke up at 5 o'clock and prepared for the daily mass. And I'd like to share my reflection on the Gospel.

The message goes like this "Jesus, not only is the Bread of Life, but also is the Living Bread"

The message of it is, as our faith to Jesus as the Bread of Life grows, we accept Him as alive in our hearts!

Mostly about how I felt when Pope was here

Pope Francis has so many important messages to all of us. As for me, I resonate most to his reminder regarding our response to the call of becoming Jesus' disciples... It is not always easy to follow Christ's example, but with Pope Francis' great inspiration, I caught myself often reminded of Christ... of my love for Him... of my desire to follow Him... of my faith in Him... of my shortcomings to Him... Lord Jesus, I'm sorry for everything... For the way sometimes that I fail to make sense of the everyday moments of my life: discontented to where I am placed at the moment, languid (not energetic) to do my duties as a teacher, too absorbed with my self... Lord, renew me in Your Spirit... Cleanse my mind, my heart, my spirit as I renew my faith in You... Renew my all... I offer everything to you... My thoughts...my desires... my feelings... my insecurities... my strengths... allow me to continue my love to You as I struggle to defeat myself in this sweet battle of total renewal... In this process I would experience sacrifices of which its inherit joy I am totally aware of but is yet for me to fully relish as I go through my way toward You slowly but unstopabbly... I love You Lord Jesus Christ! Love is all there is! (Baba Nam Kevalam)! :))) Rejoice in the Lord!!!! I offer my deepest prayers of love to God for Pope Francis that always he will remain to be the bestest version of himself for God and for us, which we have drawn so much inspiration to be always compassionate and merciful to everyone especially to those whom we least likely to love... I love you Pope Francis!
