PACENCIA

Sunday, August 31, 2008

I was reading this book entitled “Moments… (Reflections, Experiences, Stories, Thoughts)” by Fr. Jerry M. Orbos, SVD. There’s this one story that I just want to share with you guys…. Hoping you can reflect and learn from this story too… :) Start reading now…

God really knows how to remind,

One morning, the sun was getting hot, and I was getting really tired. Two hours had passed but my companions and I still had to walk for another one and a half hours before we reachedManaoag Shrine for the Mass in one of our pilgrimages on foot.

I was really about to give up and just ride the rest of the way to the shrine when I saw a piece of paper, lyingon the road, with the word “PACENCIA” written on it. With a smil, I picked up the piece of paper. It was a wrapper carrying the brand name of a biscuit!

Through the wrapper, the Lord reminded me to be patient a little bit more. It was a beautiful and creative way of getting His message across.

Nice noh? I have experienced this too when I was so down and asked God all the Why’s… Then through a piece of paper, God sends His message to me and He made me realize how wonderful He is. I am so thankful that inspite of my shortcomings God is still there for me and He never abandoned me every time I am troubled, alone and hurt. He sends His messages to us in different ways, someties we just overlooked at it and think that He had deserted us, but He was always there for all of us, especially for those who are in need of help. All we have to do is to reach out for Him and have Faith.
