as i am typing out this post, i am listening to charlotte church’s all love can be. its so surreal and moving, that i feel i am one with the world afterall.
today, i read how many people are now flocking to churches, temples and mosques in times of distress. and some pastors “tailor” their sermons on how to cope with the financial crisis to match the mood.
not that i have anything against it, afterall religions are meant to guide us and we do have the freedom to choose what is applicable and relevant to us.
for me, i chose the catholic faith because i feel most at home with it. its almost as if there is so much for me to learn about it and i am proud to be one. and He spoke to me through my local parish priest on how i should deal with my emotional crisis. the pointers are below:
1. Suffering is inevitable and appears in all shapes, forms and sizes thus there is no escaping from it.
2. When one encounters suffering, they should carry the cross and not JUST bear the cross for this will paralyse you. Thus, move on with your life.
3. If ever you find yourself not being able to get out of a rut, remember that is important not to dwell on the reasons WHY you are in a rut, but rather, try to find out the meaning of it and learn from it.
The best lesson that I took away from today’s homily is that God will always lead me according to his plans. That I need not fear what lies ahead for He will ensnare and slay all my demons and enemies. I must say at most times, I would always fall asleep at this priest’s homilies cos he has an accent that is hard to decipher, but somehow what he said today pricked my ears and had my full attention.
I am glad that God spoke to me today.
