on CONFESSION..

I went to Baclaran Church last Wednesday for Confession...and  saw this in the net after and said thats me ..LOL!

 Thank you Lord for the Redemptorists! i feel so loved by You everytime i go there and coupled with Mama Mary's love support and guidance i really felt so recharged... and like that picture above hahahaha....

my loving Padre Pio ( St Pio of Pietrelcina) did say that " CONFESSION is the souls bath. Even a clean and uncocupied room gathers dust; return after a week and you will see that it needs dusting again! "

 thank you for this Sacrament of Reconciliation, then in my younger days i  used to dread going to Confession but always thinking its Jesus on the other side helps alot! I go to monthly confession ...and after a few months of not going i felt the dread again... but looking at Mama Mary eased that up and i kept picturing Jesus leaning and listening to me helped me think and aim for Jesus HUG! Imagine after going back to work when i saw this picture! i teared up ! it was exactly how i was picturing Him and me up! :) I felt sooooo LOVED!

.. and this message " NOTHING YOU CONFESS CAN MAKE ME LOVE YOU LESS "  ....

and can attest to this beautiful message by ST ISIDORE :

BELIEVINGS END RESULT

according to my favorite Nun :) Mother Angelica of EWTN..

Simply believing in the existence of God is not exactly what you can call commitment. Because after all even the devil believes that God exists.. BELIEVING has to CHANGE the way we live.


 Sadly some of us are only Christian when we see consecrated people ( priests, nuns bishops the Pope) or  were seated inside the church but after the sacrifice of the Mass is done we forget even basic good manners and courtesy to our fellowmen :( ....

sometimes not even being inside the church makes people behave themselves and rein in their bad behaviour and selfishness.

Change unfortunately is not an instantaneous thing.. instant ones can only be attributed to our merciful loving GOD. But if we really want to change ...we have to be willing to be uncomfortable... the struggle to be good is real.

People say the three common reasons people change is one they have suffered enough, two they got tired of the same thing and three they have learned alot... How i pray its always the last one... that weve learned enough alot about God and that this love for Him will translate to following His wonderful examples..

a cliche comes to mind...that our lives, maybe the only Bible others may get to read... so we need to act  accordingly to what a Catholic christan is.

Prayer :

Lord help me to examine myself as i turn to you in repentance, look closely at me, help me in improving myself, and rooting out all the things that needs to change, that i maybe a better human being in the future. Amen.
