“The night is dark and full of terror.”
That is the famous line from the TV series Game of Thrones,
an adaptation of the book with the same title.
It is a fictional line but it cannot be too far from reality.
We are now in the age when every street and
every corner is illuminated by man-made lights but we remain in darkness and hides
in terror. We live in the world of
interconnected lives but with disconnected hearts. We know what’s happening on the other side of
the world but we don’t even care on what’s happening with our next door
neighbor or the person sitting on the next cubicle in our workplace. We,
despite all the glory and honor that man received in this world, still live in
darkness and fear.
But we know too well that there is fear only when one is
left too long in the dark. For from light,
from illumination, comes forth courage and hope. Light birngs forth true understanding and
wisdom. From lights comes life and
freedom. But that light must be searched
with diligence, perseverance and eternal dedication. We need to find that light, come what
may. But which light, for many have
claimed to be bearers of light? The
Light of Faith, Lumen Fidei, which
can only be found in Jesus.
“Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey” (Pope Francis I, Lumen Fidei, #57).
For many of you who have been with us for more than a couple
of years now, you know that try to dwell on the natural things and talk about
how we can live the good life. If you’ve
been with us for quite a long time, you will realize that we are sharing with
you things that may inspire you to live a life that you want. But you will also be wise enough to see that
we’ve been doing it the wrong way. We
encourage you live a good life instead of urging you to live a godly life – a life
that imitates the life of Jesus.
I invite you to join me, as I search for that light of
faith. This is an invitation for
everyone, ordinary people who wants to go out of dark and run away from
terror. This is an invitation for
everyone to march forward for their faith, their freedom, their life – both here
and in eternity. Join me in this journey
of self-discovery and making Jesus more famous.
We are going to change the theme of this site. We will now be dedicating this site to the
men and women who seeks to find not a good life but a godly life.
This is an open invitation – free of charge. Join us as we journey towards life, using
nothing but the light of faith to illumine our path, until we meet Jesus as He
welcomes us in His loving arms.
