One True God
By peace | August 1, 2008
I love books. I love to read, so that I can increase my knowledge, to get to know more information and to know more facts. I always skipped catechism class when I was young. My mother dragged me, canned me, but I still do not like to go to the class.
Why? I always feel so left alone. I have no friends, I don’t know anybody in the class. All the people in the class spoke fluent English. I do not understand what they are talking. I felt I was the odd one out.
BUT, at home, I love to read the bible. I read my brother’s book, the story of Jesus; I read my brother’s bookmark, The Beatitudes; and I love to go Church (if there are only people in my family that would go with me).
Of course nobody likes to go church. During younger times, only during special occasion do our family go to church. Even if they go to church, they do not understand what the priests are talking. My parents don’t understand English at all! So I also wonder why they go to church, and why I go to church.
Soon, I knew Richard, and we went to church. He went to church, always ‘nodding his head’, dozing off always. The hymns they sang was so boring, it was not the same as what I had used to hear when I was young. Again, I asked myself, what is the meaning of everything……
But how touched am I, how full of gratitude I have for our LORD, JESUS, now that my eyes are opened, I am ‘awakened’ and are more aware of the things happening around me. My eyes see and my mind perceived….
Dream of catechism matters, not one time, not two times, and I have a yearning to learn more, to do according to the will of God. I had been ‘walking in faith’, unknowingly. While I was doing my business in the toilet yesterday again, I ‘discovered’ “a special gift” dedicated to me by Pope John Paul II, this “special gift” is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It was a book I had bought long time ago, but I had not been reading it.
But now that I realized the truth, and it is the REAL thing, the REAL TRUTH — everything written OF the bible, and HOW people came to WRITE the truth, how people can be SO INSPIRED to WRITE and how and what INSPIRATION are, I treasured my BOOKS. People died, but books remained and books contains the words and thoughts of the author…
And my ministry is to study the teachings of the Catholic church.
This is an old Children Bible Story, very old, with nice illustration and simple words, easy to read passage. This is the front page, the words struck me…
And these words, “…and you know that ever since you were a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” This is really called ‘telepathy’….
All who ever came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved… The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full…. I am the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep know Me. (John 10: 8-10,14)
At Veron’s house today, I learned something very useful. It is this that I learned: Jesus is always in our heart, dwelling in us. Hm…. how true it must be. It was the first sight of Jesus on the cross, the image of Christ on the cross which ‘make me believe him’, since young. I may not know the words or the readings mentioned then, but I remembered the songs, the hymns, and it was the songs that ‘draw’ me…
