I'm very grateful for today coz today I could take a breath for a while. I'm also very happy for the Patrician Meeting session today. We talked about "Why bad things happen to good people?" We talked about suffering and how it is not something bad, how to look at suffering not only from human's point of view (eg suffering = bad thing), how love can help us to embrace suffering (coz when you love someone, you are willing to suffer for the person you love), how suffering happens for a reason and through suffering we help in the work of redeeming souls, just like Jesus redeemed us through his suffering on the cross, and so on and so forth. Anyway, we should not categorize people as 'good people' or 'bad people' coz yeah..we try to be good, but we also make mistakes.
Looking forward for next Patrician Meeting.
Btw, today is the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary.
Happy bday, Mama Mary :)
Oh ya, yesterday we celebrated 90th anniversary of Legion of Mary. The Cathedral was filled by lots of people and there were banners of different praesidia. It's really cool!!! I was amazed and I was touched especially when I saw the older Legionaries, some had walking difficulties, did come to attend the mass. An old aunty held the poles of the banners after the mass was over while some other people helped packing up. I think it's really the power of love. I'd like to cite someone (I forgot where I read this), you can think about Jesus without thinking about Mary, but you can't think about Mary without think about Jesus. The senior legionaries, whom I really see them as some people who love Mother Mary sooooooooooo much, are the examples. Their love to Mary is also directed to Jesus coz Mother Mary's eyes are always at Jesus. So...don't feel afraid to honor Blessed Virgin Mary coz she won't take your love to Jesus for herself, she'll give EVERYTHING that we present to her and through her to Jesus :)
