Big Check

Last
May 30, 2016, I was so glad to see my first ever Morning Glory flower amazingly
and fully blooming after being naturally quiet for her month-long growth and
survival. I was thankful and blessed for this little miracle which I excitedly
called as such and lovingly cupped. I even took a photograph of it, shown here. And then, I thought that most probably God was sending a message to me but I wasn't able to discern His words at first.
True
enough, Brother Edwin Cruz, Light of Jesus Feast Builder, emailed me and the
rest of the event participants. It was a call for a follow-up meeting and a
request to write a blog and share one’s experience after the “Awaken The
Miracle In You” event, held at the Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada on May 28, 2016.
I
could attest that the event, considered as a recollection (retreat for some),
was a BIG CHECK for me. Implausible perhaps to other people but for me and the
rest of the LOJers, based on my observation and belief, it was a grand success.
This
event undoubtedly made me to contemplate and prompted me to say a big check because-
*** It
was an event that couldn’t be explained by mere ordinary words and by natural
or scientific laws.
*** It
was such a wonder that one would think and feel ponderously that there was a
supernatural deity, a moving Spirit behind such an inspiring and touching
spiritual experience. Well in profound faith, it was God Himself who was behind
the over-all event through the Feast Builders, Elders and Workers, especially
the main Speakers and Volunteer-Members who were all prayer warriors.
*** Much
esteemed as a retreat, it was extraordinarily reflective and
conscience-stricken, leading a repentant sinner to go and receive the sacrament
of confession. The Speakers were like prophets sent by God in the hope of
salvation and repentance most especially this Year of Mercy and Compassion, proclaimed
by the Church under the Pontificate of Pope Francis.
*** Everyone
was roused and stimulated. Each one was called to be “miracle” workers and to
be God’s greatest blessings to other people… I thought it as violating the natural and
established laws. Everything was attributed to the supernatural and to the
MOST POWERFUL GOD who called us to do miracles, not deserving though yet in our humble ways.
*** It
was characterized as a true and beneficial event with Divine Providence freely given
to us. Just the laying of hands to the participants would be impossible without
the sanctifying presence of the Holy Spirit who continuously works on us; and
can I say even without us? I believe so.
*** It
was indeed a MIRACLE for me. Big Godly check!
