insights from the visition to laperal
RAPHEAL ALLEN M. JARIOL | EP 9 – fr. jimmy marquez |

Desire like the poor When we visited Laperal to pray for the families, I asked myself a question. I thought “What is the item I really want to have.” When I asked myself that I immediately thought of an Iphone 6s because it would be really nice if I get to own an expensive phone for the feeling high-class. I then thought about the poor and asked myself if what item they also really wanted. I realized that we should desire like the poor. When we gave the stampitas to the poor families in Laperal, they treat the stampitas like treasures, they put it in their hearts and sometimes kiss the stampita, and while I treat stampitas given to me like trash, everywhere you can find misplaced stampitas. I desire for a new and expensive phone while the poor desire for the Lord. Even if it is just a stampita of St. Joseph, they treasure it because the poor does not believe that an Iphone 6s can help them but only God can help them. All of us should desire like the poor. Not crying over worthless and really expensive things. Desire for God even if he is only a piece of paper with ink in it, desire for him because he will be the one to help you. Not seeing stampitas as mere pieces of papers but a passageway to praise the Lord.

Dear Fr. Jimmy Marquez.

Sorry for not passing my performance task about the insight from the visitation to Laperal because I was sick that that and I was absent and failed to pass it. I am also sorry because even though I am already late, I still failed to pass it earlier because I kept forgetting about the project. Next time I will pass my projects/requirements on time.
Sincerely,
Rafj
