My family and I just finished watching a mass on television. We were touched and moved on a film clip that was shared by our favorite priest this morning. Let me share to you this story.
It was the story of a man who loves his son very dearly. His father was a bridge master. The child loves to watch trains and the people who ride in them. He loves to play outside the railways while his father does his job. One day his father pushed the lever for the bridge to go up and give way for a ship to pass by. A train was coming and the driver of the train did not notice the stop light. The boy noticed the coming train and shouted “Daddy Daddy hurry a train is coming push down the lever, the people will die push the lever so the bridge would go down.” The father did not hear his voice because he went at the back of the room. When the father went, back he noticed that there was a train coming, he searched for his son but his son was nowhere to be found. He looked outside and there was his son under the bridge trying to pull the lever manually for the bridge to go down. His son fell and was under the bridge. The train was coming and it is his choice to pull the lever or not. The father did not know what to do and he was crying he has to decide to save the life of the people inside the train or to allow his son to be crushed by the bridge. With tears on his eyes, the father pulled the lever down to save the people. He rushed and went to his son who was there lying without breath. He cried and shouted but he could not bring back his son’s life back. It was a sacrifice of one to save the lives of many people.
God sacrificed His son for us because He loved us. His son was willing to pay the price for us. Supreme sacrifice is an act of an unconditional love. In this story, it also shows us that life is a choice we have to make. Life is full of surprises and sacrifices. It goes also with marriage, sacrifices when made, as an act of love is not sacrifice but an opportunity to express the humane part inside of us. Problems, irritations and temptations are always there but it is our choice on how we should handle it. Express your love today and let your partner feel that they are loved before it is too late. If you have hurts toward your spouse or a loved one, it is the time to let go and forgive. If you feel you have offended your partner, be humble and ask forgiveness. Love is always forgiving; it covers all wrongs and covers all imperfections.
Sometimes God gives us obstacles in our lives but I believe He has a purpose for everything. He will not give us situations that we cannot bear. He heals our wounds and gives answers to our questions in His perfect time. This holy week let it be an opportunity for us to be with our loved ones and reflect on our inner selves.
