Love and Compassion

Today is Maundy Thursday, and this very apt and timely image appeared on my google search page:


This rings truer now while in the midst of all this uncertainty. One of the best things you can share is Love. Love for family. Love for friends. Love for strangers. Love for Him.

I'm praying that when this is over, we become - as a people in general - more compassionate and loving people.

FMM: For the love of Christ

It's Good Friday, and it's business as usual here in Tokyo. Unlike in Manila where all the malls are closed, people here pretty much go around their day like it's any other one.

The only indicator that it's Good Friday is if you go to Church. You'll see that it's quite full, and everyone is intently listening to the scripture, particularly the Passion of Christ.

And this Passion reminds me again of that classic musical "Jesus Christ Superstar," which featured many beautiful songs. Among them is this heartwarming song that was sung by Mary of Magdala:



In yesterday's scripture, it was written that we should love one another. And I think loving one another is one great way of showing our love for Christ.
