It's been more than a month since I last heard mass at EDSA Shrine. The past masses I heard were at OLPH Parish which is nearer the house.
Today, I decided to go back to EDSA Shrine and was lucky because Fr. Dave was officiating the mass. It's been a while since I heard his homilies, and miss his combination of scripture, relevance and humor.
Being the first Sunday mass of 2013, the theme of his homily was about turning a new leaf this new year. His homily was so rich with insight and facts, including the 4 types of people: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and digital.
But what struck me most was his final word for the parish goers, which also served as his wish for everyone who attended the mass. He said:
"This 2013, strive for growth, not just change."
Fr. Dave continued on to say: "The truth is, you can change but not grow. But if you grow, you will always change."
Wonderful and wise words to start the new year with.
