My Favorite Superheroes...

I'm still in the process of summarizing all the things that happened during the one whole month sportsfest, including the recent anniversary celebration of the Couples For Christ here in Singapore. It's been a long time that I wasn't able to put some entries here. Though, not originally made, I decided to share this to everyone. I got this one from Bo Sanchez's DIDACHE, based reflection for September 26, 2006. This reading inspired me more - to love my friends more and also to share the love I'm getting from them to others. Enjoy...

“They don’t possess super powers the way the members of Justice League of America or the Fantastic Four or the X-Men do.

They aren’t even the Rizal-Bonifacio-Aquino-ready-to-save-the-nation types.

In fact, they’re normal, everyday people who hold regular, often boring, jobs.

This is the group I call my friends.

Their common characteristic? They have BIG hearts… and not the ones that give you coronary when you least expect it. I mean that they have so much love in them that when I need them, they go all out to provide me with the time, energy, efforts, ideas, money and yes, shoulders-to-lean on. Without expecting me to return the favor.

I could have chosen at any point to take advantage of these kind-hearted people or to be a parasite to them. Instead, God made me realize that my life is meant to be like theirs and not to take from theirs.

I am meant to serve others in return.

There are people who act as if there is no hope. No tomorrow. No soul. What can I do for them? I repay my friends by giving them some of the goodness they shared with me. I’m sure, after all, that the goodness had a source… the biggest Superhero of all time… Jesus.”
