| The Gospel for today speaks about following Jesus Christ.. Jesus said: "If you want to follow me, DENY YOURSELF, take up your cross and FOLLOW ME." Reflecting upon this Word, I remember Tita Cory Aquino for her true and sincere following of Christ... She is a good example of living faithfully the "vocation within vocation". Her vocation to married life implies service-TRUE SERVICE. Unconditional Service... Authentic! Tita Cory's authentic following of Christ goes beyond not only in the realm of politics but in the realm of BEING CHRIST to others... She manifested a wise governance in the Philippines using her talents and skills... but not only that... she used her genuine faith to God as her framework of good governnance... Her virtue of humility, courage, simplicity and patience are so obvious to her actions... You cannot detect any hypocrisy nor superficiality in her actions and words... She is genuine... She is true... She is natural... She is priceless... and that's Tita Cory... (I was there, Tita Cory, during our fight in EDSA 2! Thanks for that memories!) |
