BORN TO SHARE
Jn 1: 29-34
Last week I was not able to attend Mass and to write my reflection about the Gospel. Today, I'll admit that once again I was not able to attend Mass. Whatever my reasons are it'll not suffice as an excuse, because Sunday Mass is an obligation. As I read the gospel to today, I was faced again of my lack of faith. The event that I chose not to attend Mass is already a sign of faithlessness. As much as I would like to be considered a humble servant just like John in the Gospel: admitting his worthlessness before God even if he was known with esteem to man, I would be a mockery. Even if countless of times I pray to God and telling Him that I am his humble servant yet I cannot show this in the least of my choices, actions and thoughts, it would mean nothing-a superficial self-proclamation. Though, still John showed me a way. He is telling us to be witnesses. We are called to be a witness of God's triumph, grace and mercy. At the least we can do is to step by step imbue this into our nature. If as of now, my faith couldn't carry my feet to attend regularly, then at least I could share to all my struggle in faith that they may see how God works in our lives.
