Forty Days

11 April 2009

This spiritual journey started even before Ash Wednesday. If you noticed, I have written a few about some 'epiphanies' that have influenced my daily life since Lent started. Much credit is due to Joel Osteen's book and my eagerness to be different and better this year (and the years to come). I have reconciled with myself, some hurts and issues about the yesteryears, and have 'tried' so hard to mend my ways and rid of the bad habits (of my Christmas past hahaha!).

I have never went to confession as planned. Although I want to but as the days went by, it got more busier and hectic. I cannot drive and bring myself to wherever I want to go. But the spirit of forgiving and forgiveness has been the first step to becoming a better version of myself.

Yesterday, during Good Friday service I felt this immense and passionate affection to Our Lord. I have never been to this place for quite some time... spiritual dryness and the distraction of having a baby at church, and being angry for so long, I guess. I remember wanting to cry as the gospel of Our Lord's passion was being read. Our Lord, did all these things for love and what have I done to Him in return?

Tonight is the Easter Vigil service, our family is hoping to attend a three hour mass... crossing our fingers that the little one will not get antsy! Oh, I am grateful that I have a spouse as a spiritual partner whom I can share these things with.

Hope you had a blessed easter weekend!
