A Miracle in Ecclesiastes

A miracle is something ordinary and extraordinary, but special. It is something fascinating, honest, and supernatural. Take St. Therese little miracles of Jesus. And take the Father GOD’s miracle of Jesus on the cross for His love to humanity.

Stories about magic, myth and wonders are around. But miracles are something different. They can’t compare to any human standard or explanation. So be it. Everyday, the life we have is an evidence of miracles. And as we were born, we would live, then later we would die, too.

Heed Ecclesiastes 3:1-; There Is a Time for Everything

There is a right time for everything.
Everything on earth has its special season.
There is a time to be born and a time to die.
There is a time to plant and a time to pull up plants.
There is a time to kill and to heal.
There is a time to destroy and a time to build.
There is a time to cry and a time to laugh.
There is a time to be sad and a time to dance.
There is a time to throw away stones and a time to gather them.
There is a time to hug and a time not to hug.
There is a time to look for something and a time to stop looking for it.
There is a time to keep things and a time to throw away things.
There is a time to tear apart and a time to sew together.
There is a time to be silent and a time to speak.
There is a time to love and a time to hate.
There is a time for war and a time for peace.

Soon, it is the Holy Week. For Catholics, and those who believe in Jesus Christ, this is a significant event. Copious time with the Lord is being observed, and doing some kind of penance for the love of Jesus that only GOD knows. These that are called fasting and penance, please GOD. However, don’t feel helpless in fasting, but let others see how being strong for God, becomes a cause and a light to the world.

“The Passion of Christ,” a Mel Gibson film, is a classic educational movie about the sufferings of Christ. Some critics and other orthodox believers say that the film is morbid. On the contrary, some say it is a work of the film/ a form of art. This film tells the story of the last 12 hours of Jesus, on the day of His crucifixion in Jerusalem. The script comes from New Testament books, and from the diaries of St. Anne.

Moreover, processions, passion plays and holy hours are celebrated in several places this Holy Week. Even drama’s like “Jesus Christ Superstar” goes onstage.

Come Easter, the Resurrection Sunday marks a joyful gathering in the church of families, friends, and communities. Easter egg hunting and bunnies are prepared for the children. Don’t you think these are already miracles for all? Check out with life, and discover how others were blessed of your life and yours of others. There is a right time for everything.
