Broken Glass

You liken yourself to a broken glass

It points out to your poignant and painful past

But, being broken should never be an obstacle

in living life on its normal cycle

Brokenness brings forth something that is good

It is one of the realities destined by God

Like a broken seed that grows into something new

A person needs to be broken in order to grow too

Your concern lies in gathering back the pieces

You should take the cue from your experiences

Look back and cure your past

Let them go so that they won’t last

Gathering the pieces of a broken glass

Can sometimes unravel what has come to pass

But if that is the only way to find a cure

It can very well lead to your again-being-whole

Should you not be able to gather all the pieces,

It should not make you slumber into sadness

Gathering the best pieces makes someone better

It surely makes you into a person much stronger

Diamonds emerge by carving out the precious from dirt

And so are you- a new you should come to birth

Tomorrow will be brighter as you trek a new path

The challenges should never bring you into slack

A Short Reflection on the Passion of Christ ( Luke 22:14--23:56)

From the Gospel account on the Passion of Christ, we can observe three types of people. The first type are those who hate Jesus. They wanted him to die. They accused him. They discredited him. They did everything to destroy him. The Second type are those who were indifferent. They did nothing. They chose to be mere spectators. They didn't care. It was none of their business to be of help, to get involved. The third type were those who became witnesses of Jesus. They were moved. They were touched. They believed. They accepted Jesus and proclaimed that He is the Son of God. They chose Jesus and they followed him. Let us ask ourselves to which type of people do we belong....if we are of the first two types, let us strive to be among the third type.
