Absurdist philosophy

If you google the meaning of the world absurdism,  you get the definition "the belief that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe." Honestly the first time i read about this theory i was stunned and at a loss for words. (my thoughts were , you have to be kidding me!) I just cannot believe that someone could come up with such a "philosophy". In my opinion such a philosophy is ludicrous and dangerous to society!

You may not feel like it or believe it sometimes but you and i were meant for a purpose! You were never created by chance or accident and everything you have been through and are going through matters and has a purpose for your life! The moment you start believing such an absurd philosophy, seriously even the name comes from the word absurd, chaos will reign as it wants you to believe.

Some people may think that all life is meaningless and we go through some truly trying situations in life that test our limits. However the purpose for our lives becomes more evident when we find God. I encourage everyone to read a "purpose driven life" by Rick warren. He is just a man like you and me but he wrote a book that inspired me and will inspire you, i hope,  to find meaning in your life!

Do not ever let anyone or any situation make you feel like you are "worthless". Your existence serves the creator's divine plan, may he guide you on your path to fulfilling your true destiny. Amen .God bless you all!

Prisoner of love

Image
It is a beautiful thing to be in love but also a painful thing! So many misunderstandings can hurt you and sometimes it seems like you love someone more than they love you and it hurts grievously. However there is only one who understands and who chose to be a "prisoner of love" and that is Jesus Christ! We, Roman Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. At the moment of consecration by the priest, the host becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Jesus loves us so much that he never ever wants to be far from us, so before he died he instituted the Eucharist at the last supper.  I cannot even describe how much this love humbles me and makes me realize my own poor efforts at "love". His love is so beautiful and pure and it is truly everything a person could ever want or hope for! How many insults have we given him? How many times have we not visited him in the blessed sacrament and yet he is always there waiting for us!

Life is meant to be lived not understood

My mother said that to me in a conversation we had last week. It got me thinking about life and how we always look for explanations to life's mysteries and problems. But the truth is sometimes in life , there is no answer! I was watching one of the TV shows i love, (yes i love watching TV shows) and the dad was saying to his child that "one day you are going to grow up and realize that you don't have all the answers". Children usually have an innocence that reasons that there is an answer for everything but us we grow up we realize that life is not black and white. Life is complicated and sometimes there is no explanation. There are so many things that happen in life and we ask ourselves why? Why are some people born with horrible disabilities? why are some people insane? why do some parents abandon their children?  Why do some people die so young? why cant everybody find love? There are just so many things we cannot understand and not matter how desperate

The message of Kibeho....Ndi Nyina wa jambo!

Image
Last week i mentioned that i would be going on pilgrimage. I was in a little village in Rwanda called Kibeho. It is a remote place towards the border with Burundi on top of rather steep hills. For those who have not heard about Kibeho, it is the site of the appartions of the blessed virgin Mary since the early 80's. It is also now associated with the divine mercy devotion as well! To summarise a beautiful message, Our mother calls us to repent and have a true conversion of heart. There is so much hatred, selfishness and bitterness in this world. Too much of a spirit of unforgiveness! When she first appeared she showed them the visions of what would come to pass if people did not convert. (the genocide). Our mother truly loves us and does not want to see our destruction. Unfoirtunatley human beings are stubborn and what she had foretold did indeed come to pass. In 1994, the horror of the genocide became a reality and the river run red with the blood of slaughtered people, headl
