“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.

It is almost half way through 2025

I feel excited and tense simultaneously as I complete my course end of this year and I am moving across my country to the east coast for a month long observership at a relatively larger cancer hospital and the land is none other than the land of jOY …. the land of Saint Theresa of Kolkata … While I have been there and paid my respects at the tomb but having the opportunity to visit her and strengthen my faith with service and prayer I wont miss out.

Today’s Gospel is Jesus reemphasizing that we should strive to spread the word of the father and be bearers of good news. It is not very easy, especially with all our lives being emphasized on being focused and not being able to sort out issues that are petty or huge but related to our own selfish needs. We are trying to survive this materialistic world and as I prayed during mass … athought struck me .. why are we so worried about the future and what would happen.. let us be in the present moment and focus on how we can be better christians and humans to people around us.. I have just started thinking and i am trying to surrender myself but I know I have a looong way to reach even half way through.. but everyday as I wake up I want to focus on thanking God and making me be a source of light and calm that is there to all the ladies with cancer who I get to treat…

let us learn to surrender all our anxieties about the future and live with peace and calm in the present (especially when your on a time crunch on a huge paper submission! hehe)…

AMEN
