After
three days of incessant rains, our countrymen can finally start to assess their
losses, start their recovery and restore their sense of normalcy which the recent (on-going) floods have taken away from them. With the collective efforts of kind-hearted
Filipinos who donates and volunteers to provide relief goods, the flood victims
will once again (and as always) survive this natural calamity.
In
today’s gospel, Jesus likened the kingdom og Heaven to a king who gave a feast for
for his son’s wedding. Everyone were invited, the bad and good alike, but some
ignored and went with their own plans. The invitation was extended to “strangers”
on the roads and “the wedding hall was filled with guests”.
One
of the proverbial silver linings of every natural calamity that visits the
Philippines yearly is that “barriers” are torn down in the name of greater good
and love for mankind. Religious, ethnic or political affiliations are swept
aside and genuine love for one’s neighbors surfaces.
The
invitation to love is out.
Please
accept and come.
God
bless.
