If I'm not mistaken, after Grandma's, this is first time I attended this kind of mass again. I'm not ashamed to say that I shed tears. I even told my companion that I might cry, because I remember my Grandma.
The priest said "mabibigyan nyo nga cya ng magandang libing, magandang libingan etc... pero hndi ntin mapapantanyan or maibibigay ung ibibigay ng Diyos sa kanya, ung buhay n walang hanggan." I realized a lot things after hearing that. When we lost someone very special in our lives,we tend to say "sana hndi nlng", others even blame God for letting it happen. I, my self always saying to someone close to me who is grieving for losing someone, to think in a brighter side, their love ones will be in a safer place where the can never feel pain and won't suffer again. But I never realized that there is more deeper things than that.
Sometimes we become selfish for losing that special person right?Let's admit it. And why? Because they help us?Comfort us?Loved us?Teach us?Cared for us?It's all for us and it is now gone. Is it BECAUSE WE LOVE THEM? For me, we tend to feel this or we become selfish because we are hurt in losing a special person. But did we realized that when they die there are a lot more for them? Those material things we gave them, physical comfort and more are nothing compare to what God can give them. After that message, for me, we should let them go although it hurts. And let's face reality we can never control it, God is in control. If we really love them let's just let them go "home" it hurts but God can give them a everlasting life which we can never give them. No more pain, sufferings, problems, they don't have to experience all the bad things in our world and in God's hand their safe...
The priest also said, death is like graduation. Some says that graduation is not the end but a start of a new beginning. Same as death when they or we lose our life here on earth, we start our new life, a better and peaceful life with our creator.
