I Believe.

Just watched the third episode of glee, Grilled Cheesus, 

I almost did not like the delivery of the story. The antagonism as to the existence of God was a little bit strong and the miracles/ proofs of his existence, prayers granted were played in some sort of a joke like the apparition o reaching Rachel's second base and others.

However, the later part of the episode was rather interesting. It was perfect. Swabe yung pasok ng What is God was One of US!!!

I specially loved this line delivered by Mercedes to Kurt on a church.

"I know you don't believe in God, and you don't believe in the power of prayers and that's OK. To each its own. But you gotta belive in something. Something more than you can touch, taste or see. Cause life is too hard to go through it alone, without something to hold onto and without something that's sacred." 

Some people believe in one god, others worship gods, others have none. But having one God is better than having none at all. Something you can hold on to on the most desperate and troubled days of you life.  


I may have doubts on the Catholic Church. But, i never doubted GOD's existence, his grace and overwhelming love. I believe in GOD.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us. ~ Socrates

Confession.

Last Thursday, we had our recollection where we were given the option to confess our sins. Life gives us opportunity. We are left with the choice, the will, to grab it or not.  I did not extend and open my hands.

I had strong belief against confession. Why confess your sins to a priest, who like us is an imperfect being, if you can go directly to HIM. Confess. Ask for Penance. Repent.

Thanks to Fr. Nilo. He gave us a good reason behind that. He said that its good to confess to a priests, who are as sinful as you are. Being a human, they might understand why we committed those sins. They are in a good position to help us overcome temptations to commit sins. They can be a source of valuable advice.

I still had my reservations. Why not confess to God. Pray to him in private. Then, why not just talk to a counselor? I think they are better equipped and well-trained to handle those things. Better yet, why not just reflect on your sins. You will never know that you committed a sin if you do not know that it is wrong. Thus, knowing what is wrong, implies that you know what is right? Why not just inscribe those things on your head to avoid committing sins again?

I had my last confession when i was in second year college. I may still avail of the sacrament of confirmation in the future. I just have to validate my faith. This is what my first year theology professor taught me. haha
