Quote of the Day:

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. +"

My heartache.

March 9, 2009

I was supposed to write about “Mariah Carey’s songs”, but I guess God has another thing in mind. 

I watched this Korean romantic comedy movie, “Miss Old Diary”, this morning. Thanks to, of course, YouTube. It’s about a girl- or woman, to be exact- in her early 30’s, who doesn’t have a stable job and.. a husband. 

[For all of you who do not know, in Korea, if you hit 30 and you don’t have a boyfriend to marry you or a husband, you are considered an old spinster. And it’s not really a good reputation. (*Conclusion just gathered from my “Korean television experience” so not really proved in real life]

This woman- I forgot her name- lives with her 3 grandmothers and 2 uncles. Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you the whole synopsis of the movie. What bothered me, though, was that “Why is this woman so WEIRD?!” And I mean, really weird. She doesn’t give me the impression that she’s HUMAN at all- human- rational, thinking, discerning human. It’s like, she has NO CONTROL of her feelings or actions whatsoever. She’s like my cute, lovely, Golden Retriever, Whitney. 

My first impression of her was similar to Nike’s tagline;

JUST DO IT. 

And… I just felt sad for her.

“Why are you doing that?”

“WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING?!”

Obviously I was so into the movie. So before I lose all possible notions of sanity I have left, I told myself, “THIS IS NOT A REAL LIFE STORY.”

But thinking about it… unfortunately, it is REAL LIFE. Real life stories of people. Just doing what first came to their mind. Not being able to control their actions, their words, their behavior and attitude towards everything- especially to other people.

Being “FREE”. Being able to “DO WHAT I WANT TO DO”. But is it really freedom? If we do something that we’ve been taught is wrong or we think is wrong and yet we do it because we believe ourselves to be free and we have to prove to ourselves and to others that we’re free, then, ARE WE REALLY?

 

I was angry at my mom this morning because she didn’t cook for me because I have no school today. Not really angry, just.. terribly irritated. And so, that early in the morning I gave myself a heartache.

And what I realized was that- I don’t have to be terribly irritated at my mom just because of that. Yes, I can be angry. Yes, I can be terribly irritated. And yes, I have a right to be. I have a perfectly good reason. But is it really a “perfectly good” reason? Is it even a reason?! What things can make us angry can define who we are. How shallow or how deep we are.

I read last night, in Proverbs that, “A wise man’s heart keeps guard over his mouth, making his words more effective.”(Pr. 16:23) It made me think that, if I would want to be wise, then I would watch what I say and DO- “making his words more effective.” 

Just so you know, I felt a lot better after. After smiling at my mom, after talking to her sweetly, after thinking that it’s not really that big of a deal, THAT I’ve committed much much graver mistakes than that (HAH) and yet, God in all His Loving Kindness, has forgiven me.

Man, was I happy. Happy that I’ve taken the moment to pray and ask God for wisdom. Happy that I was able to let pass my mom’s itsybitsy “mistake” and, in the process, not committin a graver one.

St. James said, ” But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17)

One heartache down. A lot more to go.

ACTUS FIDEI ET SPEI ET CARITATIS

PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

 

I believe in the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church, which our Lord Jesus Christ built. In this Faith I wish to live, in this Faith I wish to die.

 

I believe in God, the Father Almight, Creator of Heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead, on the third day He aros again, He ascended to Heaven and seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. AMEN.

The Universal Sacrament of Salvation (Catechism of the Catholic Church)

(774) The Greek word mysterion was translated into Latin by two terms: mysterium and sacramentum. In later usage the term sacramentum emphasizes the visible sign of the hidden reality of salvation which was indicated by the term mysterium. In this sense, Christ himself is the mystery of salvation: "For there is no other mystery of God, except Christ." The saving work of his holy and sanctifying humanity is the sacrament of salvation, which is revealed and active in the Church's sacraments (which the Eastern Churches also call "the holy mysteries"). The seven sacraments are the signs and instruments by which the Holy Spirit spreads the grace of Christ the head throughout the Church which is his Body. The Church, then, both contains and communicates the invisible grace she signifies. It is in this analogical sense, that the Church is called a "sacrament."

(775) "The Church, in Christ, is like a sacrament - a sign and instrument, that is, of communion with God and of unity among all men." The Church's first purpose is to be the sacrament of the inner union of men with God. Because men's communion with one another is rooted in that union with God, the Church is also the sacrament of the unity of the human race. In her, this unity is already begun, since she gathers men "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues" (Rev 7:9); at the same time, the Church is the "sign and instrument" of the full realization of the unity yet to come.

(776) As sacrament, the Church is Christ's instrument. "She is taken up by him also as the instrument for the salvation of all," "the universal sacrament of salvation," by which Christ is "at once manifesting and actualizing the mystery of God's love for men." The Church "is the visible plan of God's love for humanity," because God desires "that the whole human race may become one People of God, form one Body of Christ, and be built up into one temple of the Holy Spirit.

"That in everything, God may be glorified and that, according to His Divine Will, the triumph and reign of the Immaculate Heart of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary may come upon us."
