What caught my heart are these words of yours: “Jesus is not looking for sacrifices of a ritual nature from us. He is nterested in our wholesome turn about in our attitudes, judgments, and motivations. We are glad for Jesus’ compassion
for all people, but especially for us who are sinners.”

I sometimes tend to make some sacrifices ….and I feel good about it…I offer them all to him…with that I feel his compassion so much so that I feel this certain peace and happiness within me…I know and accept that I am a sinner and has shortcomings to other people, including myself and God…yet, I believe that God knows what’s within my humble heart…my prayer requests…my sufferings….my ups and downs…the true me.

And with that, I am happy to thank God for giving this life…blessed with a loving and witty daughter…Thanks you Lord for the good friends you have given me…these good-hearted people make me feel loved and understood.

And to you Father Bert, thank you sooo much for being an instrument in realizing the good things above all the negativities in life. I pray for your good health and seeing you in some way.

Thank you Father Bert. God bless you.
