PLW Miss

I missed PLW last Sunday because of my monthly ailment: dysmenorrhea. Even the mere sight of sun made my head ache. Bad news! So I had to attend the evening Mass instead of my usual morning Mass. Even my Sundays are not so typical anymore.

I asked Mama this morning if giving birth is akin to suffering from dysmenorrhea. Her answer terrified me more. It was worse. Dysmenorrhea is nothing compared to a woman in labor. And I think that I'm already in hell because of this pain. I even had to take two 500-mg tablets of mefenamic acid today. Argh!

"A Woman of Faith"

PLW 304:
"Whoever meditates will search. Whoever searches will walk.
She searched because she did not know everything.
She was not a ruler but a humble servant.
She was a seeking pilgrim...
She searched for the face of God in the midst of silence and shadows.
He who searches has to walk.
My Father is My Mother. I am only accountable to Him.
This woman's heart was dead. Dead to self-esteem.
The Gospel was born in Mary's heart.
She could never be greater because she could never be poorer.
I am only the handmaid of the Lord.
I am poor and humble at heart. Learn from Me.
The roots of the Gospel were planted in the Mother's heart.
Every drop of blood was shed for our redemption.
The Mother achieved the greatest act of faith in the history of salvation.
I see nothing, but all is well.
Beside the Cross of Jesus stood His mother.
Thy will be done."

Are you in search of something or someone in your life? Resolve to walk a mile, but remember to carry the Lord in your heart. Have a wonderful journey until you find your way back Home to Him again! Learn from a great woman of faith: Mama Mary.

"Pilgrims of Faith"

PLW 303: Pilgrims of Faith
"We only understand Him when we are on our knees.
Faith is a wager. We win or lose everything.
We are pilgrims and travelers, not tourists.
The Kingdom is already among you.
He who seeks must walk.
Faith is an eternal walk.
Our pilgrimage is ended by death where faith and hope die. Only love will remain in the end.
Thy will be done in me.
Jesus Christ is the One True Lord (OTL) of my heart.
When life goes well, faith goes well and vice versa.
The greatest moment of faith is changed into a supreme act of love.
I believe even though everything goes wrong.
I believe in love. I believe in You.
Faith is really a gift from God. It is the greatest gift.
An act of faith is the greatest expression of love.
He who has God needs nothing.
Jesus learned to obey through His suffering."
