Life is a JOURNEY!

Life is a JOURNEY...!
Fr. Jun Mercado, OMI
It is said that LIFE is a journey...  And when when we embark on a life's journey - or any journey - we do NOT begin from ZERO.  Where we are NOW... there we start the journey!

We begin to recognize the more familiar landmarks. Some of these landmarks have been there even before we were born... others, we have made ourselves. We mix these landmarks and we begin to discern patterns in those landmarks.

Landmarks are so mixed and at times confusing... like the typical road signs in the Philippines. Yet, we remember landmarks that lead to the wrong turns. We also recognize landmarks that bring us joy and happiness.

The PROMISE of Jesus, the Lord, is NOT to make the journey EASY and SMOOTH... but that we shall NOT be alone! He is there with us! When the journey becomes rough and tough, he is there at our side... With this, we echo what the Psalmist says: 'If I should walk in the Valley of Darkness... NO evil would I fear...' (Psalm 23)

COURAGE!
