PROYOUTH 1

Sorry if this reflection came again late… I was down by a flu since last Sunday.   Call it blessing in disguise but I thank the Lord for letting me experience "a bit" of sickness… only in this situation i was able to relate more personally in this Sunday’s Gospel.  Ang hirap talagang magkasakit… kung simpleng lagnat at ubo ay inaangal ko na, papaano pa kaya yung babae sa Ebanghelyo na labindalawang taon ng naghihirap sa kanyang karamdaman. Kaya pala ganun na lang ang pagnanais niyang mapagaling ni Jesus.  Kahanga-hanga ang kanyang pananampalataya: "Mahawakan ko lang ang damit niya… gagaling na ako!"  God is good.  God is great. God is merciful.  But God also wants our ‘faith’.  Hindi sapagkat kailangan Niya nito sapagkat Diyos na Siya. Tayo ang nangangailangan nito upang ipakita natin na kailangan natin Siya. Faith in God reaches its highest expression when we surrender totally our will to His.  We pray it often anyway… just a matter of living it…  "May Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven… Amen!"
