i went to mass at edsa shrine a while ago. i now understand why achi rita loves the place. it's so serene, it's cool and you can actually reflect. anyhow, i went there to attend mass and to receive the ash marking on my forehead. i was really struck at the homily of the priest today. aside from the usual fasting and abstinence talk, he asked that we remember the ASH for what it really was... that we be:
A - a
S - seed of
H - ope
i really pray that i can be a seed of hope to others again soon. i miss giving myself until it hurts. but since i'm still patching myself up, i have to learn the value of patience and wait for his will to come.
