When in doubt, "leave everything behind, and follow me..."
It's official how the Ateneo campus never fails to uplift my downtrodden spirits, and restore me into completeness. It's just like my home, as in the house I've lived in my whole life with the beautiful family who serve as my pillars of support.
Earlier, I dropped my Mom and Dad off to a 25th wedding celebration in Camp Aguinaldo. Originally, the plan was for me to go home immediately after dropping them off, then once I'm home, I send the driver back to Aguinaldo to pick them up.
However, upon leaving Aguinaldo, I realised that I was just around 3kms away from Ateneo... and I told our family driver to pass by Ateneo, and drop me off at the Gesu first before we went on our way home.
When the car entered the gates of Ateneo, it felt as if I entered holy grounds. I felt rejuvinated: like my problems melted away. When the car stopped at the Gesu area, and I got down, walked up the hilly path to the Church, my tears welled up and I was silently crying by the time I knelt down in the middle pew section. I was overwhelmed with reverence in the silent intensity of Gesu, I felt like God was right there in front of me. There's a term for it, and I learned it in Philo103, but I forget the term at the moment... the point is... when I was there, the experience was so beautiful. I really felt safe and home.
When in doubt... "leave everything behind, and follow me." --> It doesn't make much sense cause it's like a personal conglomeration of quotes from puns to the Bible, but I've been feeling this way, and I everytime I feel awful and doubful, I usually end up praying silently and fiercely: I leave everything behind, and follow Him and I am always led back to my Ateneo home.

Mahal kong Diyos Ama,
Sana gawan niyo po talaga ng paraan.
Magtratrabaho ako Panginoon, bigyan niyo lang ako ng pagkakataon na makapagsilbi sa inyo at mapatotoo ang aking mga panata sa inyo.
Mahal na mahal ko po kayo.
