Also we need to be appreciative of all those going through it with us - spouse, family, friends and not forgetting, doctors and nurses. We draw extra strength from each other.

Luke. This is one of your most thou...Thank you, Fr. Luke. This is one of your most thoughtful writings. I'm going to forward this to all my friends, for sure. After all, how often do we hear preaching about sin, our desperate need for confession and to be forgiven? Hardly ever.<br /><br />The scrambled egg analogy is brilliant. During confession, I now focus not so much on my sins, my utter foolishness, but on God's tender love for wanting me back - in spite of them. This is humbling. To realise that one is loved so perfectly is extremely humbling. For each grievous sin is a nail, driven through the flesh of Jesus; each venial sin a taunt from the onlookers as he hung, dying upon the cross. And through all that He still loves us!<br /><br />If this doesn't move us to tears then I don't know what will.<br />Robbie Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-75517460213616804312014-05-19T16:35:17.259+08:002014-05-19T16:35:17.259+08:00Dear Fr Luke
Thank you for this timely post.. Now,...Dear Fr Luke<br />Thank you for this timely post.. Now, I can use this "WWJD" to remind myself when I come face to face with my daily trials and challenges, be it at home or at work. Frankly, had it not been for the baptism that I received, I do not know what/where will I be, or how to handle the daily ups and downs. I give praise and thank God for this grace that He has given me, and for your weekly inspiring posts that keeps bringing us back to ponder on His love for us.<br /><br />Thank you, Fr Luke!<br />ZitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-18858709490260890822014-05-19T10:39:34.224+08:002014-05-19T10:39:34.224+08:00Haha frLuke, i didn't realise WWJD was the 199...Haha frLuke, i didn't realise WWJD was the 1990s "in thing". Perhaps then i was a semi-retired Catholic. Over the last year or so, this WWJD just popped whenever i am caught in a moral dilemma. And then it occurred to me that 'how would i know what would Jesus do or have done if i don't even read the Bible.' I need to get more intimate into his living and so as gift to the family and myself last Christmas, i bought the New Jerusalem Bible ... And i thank you father, for this post which i trust is the Holy Spirit teaching through you.<br /><br />wtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
