In the past few months I noted a sudden change on the celebrity sister of our dear president with regards for her being vocal as Catholic. She is now praying before every meal featured in her show and even would explain to his son what it mean to be born again. I know we are all imperfect and there are things need to learn. But being tactless has made a difference. She told her viewers recently about her trip in Japan where she attended a mass. She was amazed by the attitude of the church goers there who bow down before communion and even commented how delicious the host there compare to what is being serve in Manila! Well first of all that practice of bowing has been there even before we are born! And we indeed are doing it to our parish here in Singapore. I know reverence is hard to be taught especially in our country where Mass is taken for granted. And my dear Kris Aquino that delicious host is Jesus Christ! You may reserve your tactless comment in privacy and not on nationwide television where everybody is looking up to you. Especially the ignorant Filipinos who would follow your footsteps. Its hard to love the unlovable and sometimes I tell the Lord I'm sorry for this is the moment I can't tolerate how the Holy Eucharist is being promoted as a mark of being a religious one. The Holy Eucharist is a gift for TRUE believers with all humility receiving the body and blood of Christ who love us so much. I hope that communion won't be just an act but understanding the true essence of receiving Christ in our body. Him, out of his love have even transformed into that tiny host to join us even travel in our veins. That is how much He loves us and I hope that all church goers will understand that simple fact.
