the CHAMP

On November 23, 2008 (Sunday), the Feast of Christ, the King, I am once again reminded that like you, I am just one of His many wonderful and intelligent creations. Even if I believe that I am special and gifted with the mind able to think of great ideas and that, I deserve something above normal, of which nobody could change this belief. But, in front of Christ, our King, I realize that I am also but a naked being who wished to have some clothes for myself.

Two people I revered most, Mother Teresa and St. Francis of Assisi, had shown the world the greatest humility only to serve and follow Christ. In Prolepsis (Vol. IV No. 1), I wrote on the statue of St. Francis at Christ the King College because I was so inspired to be like him, and it would be a punch on my face if I did not know how to be humble, and if I do not practice it in real life, my writing will be nothing and useless.

Luke 11: 9 says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Now, I humbly ask and seek for your forgiveness, I humbly knock at the door of your heart to forgive me for whatever wrongdoing I have committed against you. I hope that by simply doing this, I will find and that the door of forgiveness, peace, and understanding will be open to me.

I also dream that someday like Mother Teresa and St. Francis, I am already the naked being (like the UP Oblation I also revered) ready and proud to face Christ as my one and only King.
