my foremost reason for wanting to go to rome & vatican city was to reinvigorate the religious in me. i mean, my faith is solid and my belief system is intact…and all the rest of it, but somehow, it has become more challenging to follow these with actions.
to further highlight the contrast, let me share this much - all through my high school and college years i would start my day by visiting the UST chapel and hearing mass…i would usually pass by there at the end of the day as well to say my thank you’s to Him or just to have a moment of peace before my journey home.
recently, i haven’t attended many sunday masses. my holy week traditions that used to be so grand has now been reduced to acknowledging that it is indeed holy week and say a little prayer for it.
indeed, our roman holiday worked wonders toward this end. however, with the recent controversy involving some diety and the papal authority i’ve once again been set adrift. i don’t blame them. i blame me. i take full responsibility for how i react to negativity.
