Lenten reflections - Holy Thursday

Yesterday, which was a Holy Thursday, my family attended a Recollection at our Parish shrine. Rev. Fr. Mario Jose C. Ladra was our speaker and boy was he a good one!

The overall message of the recollection is that by God's grace coupled with our decision, we can uproot the causes of our family inherited diseases, bad habits and even misfortunes. God does not cause our sickness and misfortunes but He allows it to happen for the greater good of a person whom He loves. It's true that bad things happen to good people and it's the person's attitude which will define how he can get out of it and become a better person.

Father Mario further expounded by giving true to life stories on how people were freed from their sickness. He mentioned that a woman with stage 4 breast cances was totally healed just because Fr. Mario asked her to forgive her cheating husband. A woman who fell 12 feet from her condominium floor suffered multiple organ and bone fractures, is now progressively being healed just because she continuously testifies the goodness of God who allowed her to survive the deadly fall.

I noted what Father mentioned is the process on how to cut the chains and bondages in our family:


We all came out from the recollection confident and hopeful that whatever chains and curses that bound our families for generations are now cut because we have decided to confess our sins, stopped being supersticious, forgave and prayed over.

Thank you Lord for this grace of healing....I love you!
