So they picked up stones to throw at him;
but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.
While my past week at work, felt this way . lies , statements of false accusations thrown my way by a person with so much dislike for me and anyone who remotely likes me… yes I never realised how my personality alone could affect someone so much to evoke hate !
So I do what my parents told me, just walk away from it all and surrender it at the Holy eucharist when Jesus transubstantiates! And lo and behold, I feel lighter, less stressed and above all I realise how much I dont want to indulge in any conversation involving the same person.
Often we have stones thrown at us , cause we are who we are – unapologetic for our values and what we believe in! And while I spoke of this issue with my wise mother, she reminded me it is Lenten season and I should take this as my lenten cross rather than just being vegetarian for 40 days.
And so I did!
Often times we forget that we have soo many crosses to bear and I found mine at work.. while some of us may have it home or wherever we do… we need to remember to carry it and put it at the feet of Jesus and surrender completely!
Let us in this last week of Lent before the passion of Christ surrender all are crosses and be relieved of it all!
AMEN
