"Take and receive o' Lord my liberty, take all my will, my mind, my memory. All things I hold, and all I own are thine, thine was the gift to thee, I all resign. Do thou direct, and govern all and sway, do art thy wilt command and I'll obey. Only thy grace, thy love on me bestow. This make me rich, all else will I forego."
This song captures the Light seen by both great saints, and believe me I have seen it and felt it in the person of Bro Bo, one I would consider as the St. Francis of the 21st century. If I would outlive Bro Bo, I would be one of those who will move for his canonization.
Why do I say this? I just feel it. Though, by Bro Bo's personal account, he did to a great extent what St. Francis did, even to the point of smelling like him. And just recently, we have the opportunity to have lunch with him. We told him about our visit to a relative who lost everything due to Ondoy flooding. And you know what, he dig into his pocket, handed Fely my wife some crisp 1000PHP bills as his way of helping out. Take and receive ....
I have seen the light and it's wonderful. I'm obliged to follow the light.... would you follow me...
God bless us all!
