a worthy instrument...

worth sharing... heto po ang isa sa mga nabasa kong artikulo mula pagkabata na naging malaking bahagi kung ano man po ang kinalalagyan ng aking pananampalataya sa Dakilang Lumikha...

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

st. francis of assisi - 13th century

i have long asked myself kung ano ang role ko sa buhay na ito. in effect, alam kong instrument ako but what kind of instrument, i asked myself. siguro something about my family. dahil yon ang focus ng attention ko. whatever it is expected of me, sana nagagampanan ko to the best i can.
