ENERGY BOOSTER(Revised)
Most people are doing the
best that they can, working late at night, doing something extra in order to
raise foods to sustain their life. Food are energy boosters, they usually be
eaten in order to have energy for the day. If one person does not take food for
the whole day, his/her energy will be exhausted and as a result he will slowly
deteriorate and die.
We have to take in food to
obtain energy, and eat enough to survive. Not enough food for the body drains
your energy and you feel tired. In order to remain healthy and strong, take
enough amount of food daily. Foods are called energy boosters because it
provides energy to the body.
If we eat food to sustain
our physical well-being, we need also food from heaven to maintain our
spiritual well-being.
My dear friends, in today’s
gospel, Jesus presents himself as bread of life. However, let us not understand
it literally, since we are not cannibals or “wak wak” nga mokaon ug tawo. We
don’t eat human flesh. Let us explain it figuratively: Jesus is trying to
figure out the importance of following HIM. “I am the bread of life, whoever
comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” In other words, whoever follows my way will
live forever or have the promise of everlasting life.
I happen to read the book
of Fr. Rafael T. Cruz and I want to share some of his stories.
“During the presidency of Richard Nixon one the most powerful Americans was
a man named Charles Colson. He was powerful, Why? Because as he bragged, “I
hold office next to the very office of the president of the united States.” He was
so rich and has everything. However, he made an admission. He has everything
but there is something lacking. He doesn’t understand about it. Until one
evening, he was invited to a dinner to one of his close friends. Pero ito pong
kanyang kaibigan had recently a peak experience with the Lord. His friend told
him, “I have everything, power , wealth and I can do everything I want but I felt
hollowness inside me until I found Jesus Christ.” Mr. Colson was about to Cry. That
simple invitation changed the life of Mr. Colson. Today, Mr. Colson travelled
anywhere to proclaim Jesus Christ.”
The bread that we ate
during Eucharistic celebration is Jesus Christ Himself, an energy booster to
our soul. Therefore, let us not forget to go to the mass always especially
Sundays and holidays. The presence of Jesus in this celebration is an energy booster
that will strengthen our souls. It will always give us the right energy that
will keep us moving towards our goal, that is heaven.
On other hand, Don’t you
know that you can be an energy booster also to other people? If you see and
know somebody who suffered lots of difficulties, especially problems and sometimes
tend to give up, your helping hand is an energy booster to that person. Our
help is an energy booster that will keep him/her going.
If you are full of energy
because you feel that God is really present in you; then, share your energy to
those who are weak. Share your energy to those suffering people around you. Be
an energy booster. Only in God you will find happiness, and happy people are
full of energy. Release it! Share your energy! You’ve got the power! Be a Corpus Christi to them.
Be an energy booster.
