“What really matters in life is that we are loved by Christ and that we love Him in return. In comparison to the love of Jesus, everything else is secondary. And, without the love of Jesus, everything is useless.” – Pope John Paul II
How time flies! Not long ago, I’ve welcomed April with a bang and it seems that the start of May is so significant and worth-remembering. Tomorrow, we’re not only celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday but also the Beatification of our beloved Pope John Paul II. Don’t you just wish you could sprout wings and be with the crowd in Rome to witness an event which will go down the history of the Catholic Church? Don’t you just wish you could mingle with the joyous crowd from all over the world to celebrate this event which is another step closer to sainthood? How I wish I were there too, counting the hours and the minutes till the big day. It’s like anticipating your own birthday, only this time it is even more worth-celebrating. Last week, I received a commemorative rosary of JP II’s beatification courtesy of Fr. Louie, a Dominican priest friend who is based in Rome. What a lovely gift, it would always remind me of JP II’s beatification. Thanks to social media, even if we’ll just be in front of our TV set, we won’t miss the event.
It’s been a long and busy day for me . We had visitors at home, we met up with my daughter’s fashion designer for her upcoming wedding. I have nearly forgotten the joys and anticipation in preparing for a wedding. It’s been twenty-nine long years since our big day. It’s my daughter’s turn now. Although it is still five months away, I am also excited like her. There is something nice about reminiscing your own wedding. Last night, we watched the exchange of vows between Prince William and now Princess Catherine aptly dubbed as the Royal Wedding. It’s a fairy tale wedding complete with a handsome prince and a lovely princess. That’s what wedding should be, a happy union of two people in love.
In ten days, I’ll be celebrating my two years of blogging here at WordPress – 509 posts including this one. How time flies! May here I come!
