SPECIAL FEATURE
A plunge MY MIRACLE story lacks fireworks, but is a tale of a plunge. I was a stranger to my faith when I was installed a lector. Society described our lot as Generation X, while history ST. JUDE’S judged us as activists. I grew up in a religious family, but back in college, I raged against a dictatorship and turned my back against my Church. I was not afflicted of any illness but I knew I was spiritually lost. I felt unworthy to serve when the Word and his words were distant. I knew my church life was missing a vague target. Quitting was an option, but a cripple does not easily yield her crutches. I was skeptic of novenas, yet I specially asked St. Jude to fill the void. I kept my end. I religiously meditated, learned to listen to the Lord’s presence and kept journal. Scriptures is sketchy of St Jude’s life, save for a question, “Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” Praying changes even a hardened human. 365 Days describes St Jude as someone whose ego left no trace, like the flight of birds in the sky. His silent intercession came to point the way. Then one day the answer to his question dawned upon me. Praying is a personal encounter with Jesus who reveals himself to me, not to the world. St. Jude pointed to the Person who fills the void. Many could not reconcile the now and the Jong that I used to be, for I took a plunge. (Jong Surtida is a parishioner of SJTP. She is particularly active in realizing parish pastoral works and is one of those who maintain the Parish Weekly Bulletin.) n
