The students of St. Paul School- Buug, welcome you as our guest. We invite you to COME
and SEE who we are and why. We are a Community of Roman Catholic striving to make known The Gospel of Christ, in charity and
humility, after the example of St. Paul, our Patron.
GOD FOREVER WAITS. CAN ANYONE BEAT THAT?
The 3 Divine Persons: Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are waiting
for us always. This Triune God allowed Himself to be turned into bread, so that we can partake Him and we shall be strengthened
and be empowered in our daily choices. For our daily choices are the passport to our real happiness. Everyone wants
to be happy. But real happiness is not an instant emotional destination, it has to undergo a certain process so that it will
turn into real joy which nobody can take away from us.
The Triune God also allowed Himself to RESIDE in that small box called
tabernacle (which has a flame of light, symbolizing that HE IS ALWAYS PRESENT WAITING FOR US) - so that we can visit Him anytime
we want, anytime we are free. There's no other God in the universe who will do that.
But how do we approach Him? As a child? As a friend? or simply as
ourselves? You can pick out your choice again. But really, after we have presented what was in our mind and heart to GOD,
WE ALSO HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART and MIND
WWID (What Would I Do?)_
Just sit, find a comfortable
position, (this presupposes that you are in the chapel or in your room in front of a crucifix) then fix your gaze on the crucifix
and focus your attention to Him and then listen.... His language by the way is silence, so you have to be silent too.
You have to turn off all the channels in your mind and heart, i.e. your fears, anxieties, weariness, etc. After all
you are in His Holy and Divine Presence and then just listen.... listen...listen....attentively... focusing your entire attention
to His Presence.
In your 'eye' of faith, rest your head on His shoulder as you
gaze at the crucifix and look at Him as He gaze back at you lovingly, compassionately.
Then after sometime, when you are done. Don't
forget to thank Him. And set another time to meet Him again.
When you go back to work or when you travel back home whisper to
Him in your heart and mind:
FATHER, JESUS, AND HOLY SPIRIT
PLEASE ACCOMPANY ME!
And empower me to walk with You
in Wisdom and Truth.
Amen!
Our God is a very respectful God. He knows our needs, but He
waits to be invited. TRY IT !!! YOU WILL BE IN FOR A LOT OF SURPRISES!!!
