A SELFLESS DUTY
Mt 1-12
I was too tired to write anything yesterday. I was still recuperating from the work we had last Saturday and the other two restless days before that. I just realize that the bigger the effort you give to plant a sensitive tree the sweetest the fruit will be. In connection with last Sunday's Gospel, the beatitudes: it simply says that those who are lacking will be filled. A tree will be filled by the planter, and the planter will be filled with God's grace for his stewardship and patience. Truly, blessed are those who work for the kingdom and those who work with virtue. These were the things I witnessed during our practice and the actual presentation. I was just touched on how a head teacher and also one of the point persons during the activity, gave away her shirt to be rag to wipe the stage floor as to avoid accidents. This simple gesture of dedication and concern really sparkle in my eyes. I was on the verge of giving up that virtue can live with reality, but upon witnessing this simplicity I was reawakened- virtue can truly live with reality. Accept our shortcomings, work to cover it up using virtue, and lift it all up, then we will all be blessed.

ReplyDeleteIndeed there is happiness in acceptance.
Sometimes trying too hard to change things doesn't work.
That's where the Lord teaches us the virtue of acceptance.
