Almost the End

As we all know the year is drawing to an end. As the newspapers start reminiscing on the year , we will be spread with pictures of the events that happened this year.

I guess in a way, this year has been a very significant year in most people lives. In some countries, some eventful things has happened - in Russia, in China, now the SEA area.

I guess in our lives too as we ponder back, this year has its major events. For mine yes. and it started with sadness and it also ended with sadness. And alot of sadness in between too.

Everyone is talking about the tsunami and why God let it happen. Its just like the september 11 case in the US. People will tend to blame God when thingslike this happen. I am one of the culprit too when things go wrong in my life. But I guess, if we think of it as this God is our Father, then He wouldn't let bad things happen to us. He has carved us at the palm of His hands and given us His son. God's has His reasons. Maybe its a lesson to mankind to be human and kind. But why all these poor countries are affected? Only God has the answer.

I want to start the new year with hope and wish that it will be a good year for me. I hoped that all the bad things are to happen has happened this year.

I leave you with this...


Friday, 31st December 2004 (Octave 7th Day: Jn 1:1,14-18)
Dear Friend in the Lord, God's Mystery: God is infinite. He has no beginning and no end. God created all human beings and the whole universe in His Wisdom and Love. This Truth is beyond our limited minds. Learn to interiorize this divine mystery in faith and to grow in gratitude and humility to God. Then live this as your 2005 resolution.

Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
