A perplexing dream

It was a dream where I was specially called to a different retreat from my choirmates, through a seminarian friend. I initially felt fear upon knowing I had been called but it was soon gone. It was mostly being in front of the Blessed Sacrament at the Minor Seminary, though the adoration chapel differs in reality.

I kept having fainting fits without warning but I soon realized God communicated with me through them. I told my SD about my fits in the dream; a different one from the one in real life. She led me to a bookshelf and mentioned St Gertrude to me, that the saint had experienced them too.

I dreamt of my good friend who has lost a friend to his pride. Together, we spoke to my male bestie and we were outside Mount Alvernia Hospital, a different building from the one in real life. He mentioned going for a praying over session with some priests and was happy that Father Damien was on duty that day.

What perplexes me is the numerous and continual fainting fits, as well as the mention of St Gertrude to me by a nun. Hmm....

Conflict in values

It is indeed difficult to maintain purely Christ-like values in the workplace. Despite my condescension and judgement of those who overtly display contradictions between their faith and their practices, I am aware that I too, display subtle aspects.

Forgery and irresponsibility may be immoral but so too, are celestial usage and arrogance. Perhaps, my besties were right. A sin, whether big or small, is still one.

I may not have flouted the rules of no alcohol drinking but by not protesting against that done by others, I actually condone the act....

A prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, fill me with Your silence, even if it is forced.
Your healing silence, Your calming silence.
I offer up to You my conflicts, my confusion, my frustrations, my heartbreak.
I thank You for the good things; the comfortable and soothing moments, the bond shared, the love shown, the fortunate feeling and the enjoyable time, in gratitude.
Amen.
