Not my contribution for the inter-faith rally that is happening in Makati, rather a fruit of solitude and prayer. Below is the introduction I wrote for our benediction yesterday evening.

While in colloquy with God, I reread it, reflected on it. Found out that there is so much of myself in it.
Read for yourself.

We are often times blinded by the allurements of the world – so blind that we lose touch with God. The warring feelings within us bring about a sort of an eye-cataract that blurs our direct vision of God. Consumerism, materialism, and a lot more negative “–isms” fragment us and keep us out-of-focus. This disturbs us in prayer – in our communion with the Lord. We experience a sense of distance from our Heavenly Father – thinking that He is not anywhere near us; thus, our faith weakens.
In this solemn colloquy with our Lord, let us speak to Him earnestly, recall our blind moments with Him. By and by, let us ask for his mercy, for his grace, and let us pray that he may grant us a stronger faith amid our troubled moments, that we may again see His magnificence and be enveloped by His Unfailing Love.
