The "WORD" Became Flesh

It's  Christmas!,  The Solemnity of the Birth of Jesus Christ. The Bible says "In the beginning was  the Word and Word was with God,....  the Word became flesh and dwell among us".  For me this is the most special event in the church and in our congregation "the Society of the Divine Word".   We are missionaries of the the "Divine Word".  With our tag line "Witness to the Word".  I do reflect on this, as an SVD Brother.  I must carry the "Word"  with me by not carrying the Bible but carrying it to my  in to my life, in my thoughts , words and in actions.  Joining the congregation means to me, is accepting the "Word", I have recognized Him, I accepted Him and followed Him for Life.  However, not a 100%.  I'm not a perfect person.   I struggled everyday to become one.  And this is the challenged.  Everyday, still I'm trying to perfectly followed Him.  But war always imminent.  The war between the reality as a Human and then of being a religious Missionary.  There are still so much to be learned in order to perfectly shaped up my self, to become carrier, reflection and witness of the Word.  to be continued......

A Year to Celebrate and to Remember.

This year 2010, I won't forget everything that happened around me, events that somehow now become part of my life.  First, I remember that this year I became a walking medicine cabinet.  This is the year when my health came into highlight.  So much to carry , the burden of taking 5 medicines a day.  The painful hours in my body, the restless hours during the tuning of my body to the medicines.  Yes, I could cried aloud to nowhere and say " I'm Tired" .  I am now gaining and harvesting the side effects of my body;s waining behavior.  I know that this is not anymore a joke nor a normal thing comparing  it to others and to you whoever reading this post.  It sounds like.. "Hey, your growing Old already,  Watch out  your Health. . I'm going to be 50 years old this January 2011.  And this is the Golden Year for my self.  And I have to on to function and serve as I was task to do and fulfilled my promised to God for Life.  And these will go on until I rest with Him whom I vowed for life as a Religious Brother..  Many things happen already... those past days , months and years that  was not recorded in this blog but recorded in God's  Diary. Time will come that I will also have my rest in a place and a situation that there will be no more pains in my life, no more crying, no one can ruined my life anymore, no one can stab my back anymore, no cross in my life, no more everything,  it is Zero gravity.  I remember too, the places where I went to and visited.  I remember those persons whom I have encountered for the past years and those people who went ahead to closed their life's book.  Still there are things to be done because unless the time and day stopped,  life must go on and on.  There are more who needs help, physically, mentaly and financially and spiritually..  Yet, the reality,  it is a never ending story.  A cycle that flows to the different flaws of life. We come and go. and paralleled  to the daily events is the cycle of generation to generation who played different roles in life.

Now what is it that  we have to celebrate?, for me to celebrate? and for what reason (s)?.  This is the daily events in life which is supported by life experiences.  The very first second when  I  woke up in the morning or every after sleeping or rest for minutes and hours......I am talking about the " breath of life ". Because for me it the first and the most important.  Life is is most important than anything else.  because if theres is no life, nothing will happen, none, meaningless.  Thus,   because I exist, I Live and I'm Alive. I Have a God given Life.
