Holy Week

My Holy Week didn't feel so holy week-ish until last Thursday morning when I stumbled by a tweet that mentioned an online retreat. Flashbacks from my senior college year's retreat came into mind. It was kind of heartbreaking -- how the reflection timely fitted my current state. I'm thankful for it though, it made me feel a bit better, a little relieved from the week's stress and frustrations. I learned the 3 F's: Fight, Flight and Forgiveness. I was on the flight track but I chose forgiveness.

Let me share one of the prayer advices I've read:

"Sometimes, we do not understand why others would hurt us, even though we loved them very much. Maybe it is true that the ones that we love the most have the most power to hurt us. It is just human for you to question things and feel hurt, but only then we will realize the real lessons we have to learn. And maybe, at the end, we will really know how to forgive and to give unconditional love."
