Way of the Cross

Our pains and sufferings in life can never equal the magnitude of agony underwent by Christ Jesus, as he struggles through each station, in fulfilment of the Father's will and for our sake and salvation. We talk about helping the Lord to carry the heavy burdens of mankind and yet as we plog along journey's path, we find that it is He who reaches down and carry us when the terrains gets too rough and tough. We do not have the strength, nor the faith to trust in His mercy; more often than not, the self pity in us throws us into the pits of hell and we cannot find a way out until, the Lord soothes us with His presence.

In whatever fights and for whatever cause, let us utilise this time of Lent, to reflect on the sufferings of our Lord which really is LOVE for us. This is no time for anger and harsh words in the face of unfortunate developments. Let the Lord speak, and let the Lord lead. God's love transcends over boundaries and space. The Father is one, though the children are like stars in heaven. Whatever colour, creed or practice, we are all creations of the same Creator, the One God and Father in Heaven. Acts of charity, doing penance and fasting is probably more effective than forcing issues, and resorting to the law, to get what we want. Ultimately, it is the Lord God, who decides. Let us spread peace and goodness and leave the rest to God.
