I attended the liturgical and theological reflections of Fr. Joachim at Holy Family Artesia centering on “Confidently approach the throne of Grace.” He said, “When we are forgiven by God, we in turn forgive our neighbors Jesus used language of commerce to speak of relations with God. Our sins have been fully forgiven. It is finished. As it is. Paid in full! We have to believe it applies to us personally-our debt has been paid fully. Thank you Jesus and learn gratitude all your life, receive 5he Eucharist as an eternal Thanksgiving. Also, I must see to it that I don’t accumulate more sins. Let our life be an unbroken life of Thanksgiving.” All throughout, it has been a morning of flowing river of tears.
Fr. Rodel G.Balagtas posted, “Do you consider the pandemic a curse or a blessing?” To me, it is a blessing, it has become a journey of being closer to God, my hubby, my adult children, and my neighbors.
It also has become a solidifying process of saying more I love yous to my very good friends and showing more generosity to wonderful Holy priests. I managed to give to 6 priests who deepened my understanding about God’s wisdom and infinite love and graciousness. I also braved through my fears and walked to my neighbors, including my daughter’s family to deliver my home cooked meals. I now understand how Charina, Lem, Antonio feel when they dropped off stuff to me.
It is a privilege to attend livestreamed masses with Vatican’s Pope Francis whose spiritual depth moves me to tears.
