Easter 2012..... hm.... Final days of Easter 2012 is already here. I can't believe that 40 days went so fast and I did not have enough time spent this year's Easter time for spiritual reflections as I think. But at least I am trying to spend some time before it is over.Today, Holy Thursday, the mass was nice and I was able to participate in the mass among some friends compared to last time where I barely had any friends I knew at that time from the community. I wasn't able to spend some quiet time with Jesus. Sometimes you have a friend close to you for sometime and then you forget or couldn't make any close connections due to many reasons and suddenly after some time you feel uncomfortable with the relationship you had. So I am beginning to feel the same with the relationship with God. It is a great feeling when I feel Jesus is with me no matter what happens to walk with me. I know he is always there for me but I need to believe in that and talk to him.
Two days ago, Fr. Ed in the harmony mentioned that many think Judas is for sure in hell because of what he did. But is it almost the same what Peter did also? Hadn't Peter confessed in public that he did not know Jesus? Humans are always week and fail to do what they intend to do. So that is why Jesus gave us a way of resolving and making the relationship new with holy sacrament of confession. It is very hard to confess because you do not want to accept your failures and what wrong you did knowingly. But reconciliation with God always get you closer to God and ease the pressure of sin.
At least all of these thoughts, I should spend some good time with God in this Easter so that I may be able to improve my habits, life style and virtues in a way that is pleasing to God!
