THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

The Gospel for today: thirst daw. There's the reading about the woman in the well at noon. wala xay husband but daghan siya ug lalaki. We are like that kuno. We have a longing that only God can fill. Amen po Lord! There are times when we really doubt God daw. But we should not because God is always there for us. He doesn't abandon us. Amen po Lord.

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.
