Dearest Lord Jesus Christ:
What's happening in the world?
What's happening in our lives?
Do we know where we are going?
We are so lost: road rage everywhere
even in the dirt road; innocent lives
have been lost - two children in fact -
were killed in accidents that have been
easily prevented; and a lot more of our
many waywardness everywhere!
We are like the elders of Israel addressed
by St. Stephen in Jerusalem:
"You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised
in heart and ears, you always oppose
the Holy Spirit; you are just like your
ancestors" (Acts 7:51).
Let us come to you, Jesus;
Let us return to you, Jesus;
Let us stop seeking signs that
you are the Christ whom we must
follow and receive;
to come to you Jesus is to bond
ourselves to you and to your gospel
values of life and truth, of justice and love
that means we do not cheat in our jobs
and responsibilities where others rely on us;
to come to you Jesus is immersing ourselves
in your words, in your teachings to assimilate
your Way into our ways wherein we follow our
conscience not our whims or words of media
especially of politicians who rob most the poor
and helpless among us;
to come to you Jesus is accept our Cross
and sufferings like St. Stephen to be able
to see a glimpse of heaven.
Amen.

One thought on “Easter is coming to Jesus

  1. Recent events are truly shocking, we’re not even past the events of the sctex tragedy now the naia one is haunting us. That’s why no one in our family drives their cars or go out without important errands. I pray as well that they find peace and healing the way they wanted it.
