In a world fraught with violence and hate, people like Sister Leonella show us how to love. Like Christ she lived; like Christ she died. She has left this mortal world that she served so selflessly. Like the saints and matyrs who went before her - she now lives with Christ in glory.
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
My heart is troubled. I read in the news to day about the killing of a nun in Somalia and the furore in the Muslim world over what the Pope quoted in his speech.
I am confused and speechless. Questions are whirling like crazy through my mind.
Why, Lord? Why? From, a very confused and troubled me

Thoughts after mass and personal reflection on today's homily:
To die is to live - that's so difficult to do, isn't it? I mean, the dying to oneself bit is something I find hard to do already, what about physical death? I must confess I am scared of death - the thought of dying scares me to death (pun intended). So, this makes me a lousy Christian. A true Christian should not be/is not afraid of death. Gotta to pray for stronger faith,
EGO= Edging God Out. Loved this - so easy to remember. Must take note and remind myself of this . Must look out for signs when EGO rears its ugly head. Actually. EGO attempted takeover evident in my life these last few days. Not good. Not good. Gotta get back my focus on my priorities in life.
When Christ asks,"And you, who do you say I am?" How would I answer?
Consoling thought: God understands :) and I take heart in remembering that when I am at my weakest, He is at His strongest. With that assurance I, the pilgrim, continue to walk this journey of life.

"I am with you always, even to the end of the world.." (Matthew28:20)
Today, I saw Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. I saw Christ carrying the cross to Calvary. I saw Christ nailed to the cross on Calvary I thanked Him for giving up his life for me.
Today, I thought of all the saints who have gone ahead of me. I recalled the times my Lord came through for me. I am reassured that my Lord will never forsake me.

Ever so often, in the rush to meet deadlines and to make sure all my plans are working out, God has had little or no place in this my world and my life. I need to take a step back and s - l - o - w down. I need to give some time back to God. It is very very difficult to be 'still' but I shall try. The third week of Lent is almost over. I will retreat into the desert of my soul and in this desert I will find my Lord. spyder :: 3/23/2006 09:57:00 PM
