Faith

Remember the times when the down is on top.

God really exists and He is really with us every time we need His presence. The moment when problem arises, there is no one but Him whom you can count on. It’s only Him whom you can rely on. It’s still vivid in me the times when I need someone to lean on, someone to be with, but no one is around. I just found myself kneeling in front of the Blessed Sacrament, at the altar, talking to Him, sincerely staring at Him very intently.

There was a time that I don’t know where to go and don’t know what to do. At that very moment I asked Him, “What should I do?” Until, I saw somebody outside, begging for alms, something to eat, or for even a few centavos to buy food. Suddenly, I realized how blessed and grateful I am for there are more people suffer more than the sufferings I am going through, that my pain is just a bit of what they had. I learn that helping others instead of weeping, in the midst of my agony, matter most and my faith can make all these possible.

No matter how heavy your burden is as long as there is God, there is way. For as long as there is Him there is way out, there is solution. As long as you have faith, you won’t be lost, that when we’re down, just “Pray, hope and don’t be afraid”, Saint Padre Pio’s famous maxim.
