Reaching Out Through Faith

Reaching Out Through Faith
By Alfred Castro


 One major trait that makes a Pinoy distinct from other citizens of the world is his faith in God. Indeed foreign nationals find us charming, attractive and likable. The truth is we are a people with faith and fear of God. And as much as possible, we practice what is ideal and pleasing to Him.

What really keeps the Filipino amiable is his positive outlook in the present life. He has great Hopes for a better life... in this life, and in his conceived life after death. Thus, his countenance conveys his belief.

Through my interactions with citizens living in highly industrialized nations, I realize many of them are wandering beings. They value more of what is physical, things that are short-lived and may perish. They have sole regard of surviving and living only at the moment, for death is the end of their existence.

When my sister, Christine Gelano was invited two years ago in Germany to discuss something about Existence, to mostly European professionals, she was simply amazed by their response.

The Germans and other European nationals enthusiastically applauded immediately at the end of her talk. They were absolutely awed and struck and touched. They have been searching for a more profound meaning to their existence.

If we keep on living our faith, we would grow, as a nation.

And though our faith may be put to the test, our trust and hope in God will never fail us.

Go Pinoys... Do live your life fully, knowing that God is with you all.

Ah, "as much as possible". That's the operative phrase...
