Yesterday was Maundy Thursday, where Catholics around the world commemorated the Last Supper. 2 factors of mass was the Washing of the feet and moving the Blessed Sacrament to the Repositorium.
This Easter is an emotional roller coaster for me. I was choking up during Maundy Thursday Mass but managed to control myself. I went for dinner with a few of my CHOICE KL friends @ Strawberry Cafe in Section 5, PJ. After which I went to SFX for Adoration of the blessed Sacrament. I enjoyed the adoration at SFX as it was a silent adoration and I could sit to contemplate and pray.
This adoration was beautiful for me. I decided to use the Jesuit's meditation, and bring myself in to the Garden of Gethsamene . There I was in this Garden , and I saw Jesus praying there earnestly, while his disciples were sleeping. I could see myself sitting next to him, asking him if I could pray with him , and to hold his hand. I was able to talk to him , ask him questions, and despite his worries, he could still take the time to talk to me. It was beautiful.
While driving home, and reflecting, I thought back to my a weekend retreat I attended, especially the reconcilliation part, and I suddenly started crying in the car. To know that he suffered and died for specially for us. He went through the torture, torment, humiliation, pain , all for our sins. He bears no ill will for going through all this, and He still loves us alot despite all this. Despite all the times we turn our back on Him, the times we forget Him, the times we hurt him with our Sins , our failings and our inactions, to know he still loves us and will always welcome us.
