AM i a tree that bears fruit?

attended mass at IHM this morning. n the first thought was o man .. is fr antonio.. i cant undersand him at all cuz of his accent. quite relectant to go for mass at IHM but i over slept this morning so i didnt go to SFX.. sundays are very special dazs for me as it is the day of the Lord. although there is mass at 5pm at the retreat, i still want to go for my morning mass, if not it just seems strange to me.

I attended mass alone cuz melt overslept n i was like all alone.. hahahha no la .. i was with God . the choir was good n the whole entire settling is great.... the songs that was chosen was great. what struck me the most at mass today was the homily where Fr said:" every lent we tell God help me to change this or that, but then what is the thing we should continue to ask God is..... to tell him to change us n help us to b a tree that bears fruits!!!" It just struck me so hard that although i might be able to overcome my struggles n temptation with prayers n reflections, i am just a stagnant tree. If i am a fruit bearing tree, i am bearing bitter fruits..... it just got me thinking.. in the midst of mass, i was also thinking of what is God telling me. read John 4: 4-52. about the samartian woman.. God is asking her do you want to drink the water that does not make u thirsty anymore ??? very powerful message.. so what am i drinking n where am i drinking from??? today i was so awed too that th universal church round the whole is celebrating the 1st scrunity for the elect as they draw closer to baptism. i was like wow.. so many will be baptise this easter.. it is like a 24 hrs event like every second every min, pple will be baptised.. i was like so in awed that the CATHOLIC church is so united n we are ONE BIG family..... keep my Godson in prayer too as he embark another step closer to baptism. His first scrunity is held in Johor as he is having his retreat this weekend. may he have a great encounter with the Lord.. Jason lin, if you get to read our blog.. my another Godson.. hahhaha .. take this time to recall ur baptism call as you said YES to him last yr. So what is ur reflection on our own baptism? as you spend easter with enl , drag each other to pray n literally go into the passion of Christ n rise with him on easter sunday.. (dont just drink n drink n then travel - hahahaaah make time to pray. form the little community in finland)
