Rev. Fr. Christian Buenafe, O'cram
Hapag ng Pag-asa
It is in the hunger, thirst, and difficulties these children endure that they become partakers of the supper the Lord has prepared for them. Are we not drowning His call for communion whenever we savor the joys of abundance apart from our Host?
At this time and world society of ours that seem to give more importance on instant gratification and “doing away” with suffering by removal of awareness and desensitization, are we not also refusing to hear His call?
For it is in our hunger, thirst, and suffering that we realize our dependency to Him that it is with great importance that neither we must turn our backs nor close our eyes from the reality of human suffering. We must embrace it, we must continue not just to see but to look, not just to hear but to listen.
