REFLECTING…WALKING WITH ST EUGENIE | VOLUME 5

The onslaught of COV-19 and other natural calamities like Typhoon Odette has caused so much pain, suffering, and anxiety. We may ask ourselves why the Lord allowed all these evil happenings. You may agree or disagree with me, but perhaps there is a strong message behind all these. the world has become materialistic where money, power, and self interests have become priorities in life, at the expense of causing suffering to many people, and destroying traditional values that bind unity in families and societies. Personally, I think that in this pandemic and in the many calamities, the Lord is asking us to empty our vessels of blessings and love and reach out to share LOVE to the world. Spreading LOVE brings a more positive aura and freshness to the world, a powerful force and panacea to fight the evil in this world. LOVE gives HOPE and REBIRTH to our aging planet.

True enough, we have seen countess people giving of themselves in service to care for the sick the dying the unemployed and all affected by the pandemic and calamities. Many have returned to a deeper prayer life where they once again experience God’s love and care.

When we count our blessings, we experience the love of God and His generosity. St Marie Eugenie urges us to share this love by generously giving of ourselves in service to others, even in the smallest way, in our homes, community, environment, and country. Touching lives with LOVE and HOPE is our legacy to future generations.
