key to Heaven... (reflection for September 17, 2006)

Some may think of a burden as a punishment or a consequence of one's wrong doings in the past. Some may even think that burdens are given by superior people that unders you such as a boss in work or a bully in a school. Some may even look at a burden as an ordinary thing that is happening to them. Perhaps they are uses to these kinds of things thats why they don't value it that much.

Many people have died in following Christ. Following Christ does not only mean that you have to listen to His words and teachings. Following Christ is more than attending masses and praying. It requires alot of faith and understanding. We must imitate His way of life, on how he humbled Himself to the people and on how strong His faith was. If we were to watch the movie "the passion", in the part where the guards gave Jesus the cross that He'll carry, Jesus did not gave up and just lie down in the ground, instead, Jesus hugged His cross.

The same thing we must do our own crosses, love it.
