When Darkness Comes

Senate and Congress passed the Reproductive Health bill marked as urgent by President Noynoy
Aquino. The gloom coming from the tragedy of the Sandy Hook shooting had not dispelled, yet we see another avenue for the degradation of human life.



It is sometimes hard to comprehend how God believing people can not be shaken into the truth. Busy-ness, fame, limelight, fear, repulsion, ambition can do cloud our visions. Though we love God and accept God's love for us, we do not yet know how to love.



TRUTH is the WAY to the fullness of LIFE; And the fullness of life is LOVE. Jesus became Man and showed as the depth, breadth, and width of truth and love that we must journey. Still, many settles for the seashore. A little bit of water to touch our legs and an occasional splashing of the waves that beckon us to be part of the Ocean of Truth- to be co-workers and partakers of God's divinity.



God allows the darkness to cast upon our lives, so that those who carry the light can shine brighter. No shades of grey to choose from and one must find the conviction to make that choice. Padre Pio once said that the time had comewhen there is no middle ground. It's black and white and that should make things easier; But, alas, we must continue to desire Truth, seek it and live it. We can be deceived ... it feels like love, it sounds like love, it smells like love, it looks like love but it was just a poor itation of love we have settled for masking in sheepskin.



So amidst the darkness that seem to hover over us, we light the candle and pass on the flame to others. We pray. We desire that is true and beautiful . We seek. We reveive. We give what we receive. We choose love. We choose life. We choose truth. We choose beauty. In other words, WE CHOOSE GOD.
