This Week's Gospel: Farewell for the batch

 It was said last Sunday that we need to die in order to be better. In this week, this end of March, is the graduation week. First of all, I would like to congratulate the graduates who will be ending their years, or semesters, which is a symbol of dying in their part.


Dying in the part of graduating is one of the most memorable part of your situation. It maybe a sign of your goodbye to your fellow batchmate, or a very close friend. This maybe a crying part for all students since they will miss their colleagues, teachers and schoolmates who might transfer school, or sadder, a new vicinity.

We shall take this moment in hopefully preserving these memories. We need to certainly die for something. We need to die from being High School. We should terminate this moments, because there is growth and developent waiting for us in the outside world. We need to go to it because that is the sway of life. There may be someone who will go, a friend or teacher, that may symbolize death in their part. They may experience death because they will already stop from teaching or studying in that school, or any reasons likewise.

Like the seed in yesterday's Gospel, it shall be die from its existence as a seed in order to grow. We, too as human, need to be cracked in our shells for the better. We have experienced something meaningful, and now it is to end. This is one of the very good application of this week's Gospel. We shall die from our being High School in order to give way to our collegiate dreams, or terminate the level you are in. You must stop the things you are already finished.

You must start anew, and be fruitful in our thoughts, actions and deeds.
