" Always keep the candle lighted"

I regularly watched the Sunday T.V. Mass in Studio 23, Where Fr. Mario Sobrejuanite S.V.D was the celebrant. I liked the way he explained the gospel. H e used analogies in making things simple out of complexities. As I recall the homely last October 21, he shared a poem about 2 frogs, who both fell in the deep cream. The first frog accepted his fate, then bade goodbye and drowned. While the second frog could not accept to die without doing anything. He said " I can't give up and I wont give in." So, he just swam and swam over the cream until it became hard and the frog came out and survived.
According to him persistence is the name of the game. To continue hoping and believing that victory will come. It is so easy to succumb to discouragement, but persistence to do good will overcome evil. And remember that faith is not always walking in the light but persistence in believing while walking in the dark.
