My interest in other religions have been constant since I was a child. Although I grew up and was raised Catholic, I was still exposed to a lot of different religions during my childhood. My mom believed that we had to understand other religions in order to have a firmer base on our own religion.

I remember Jehova’s Witness were welcomed into our home, including the Mormons. Growing up, I understood one thing. We are still under one God. Regardless of what their religion is, there is one basic premise to what we all believe – and that is, to respect each other and help each other.

I have a friend now who is a devout Catholic but has recently shown interest in Buddhism and Hinduism. He even bought a Buddha Statue (multiple ones) made from different types of material. He orders them online – mostly eBay. But I think you can get all kinds of statues such as a Ganesh Statue and Buddha Statue all over the internet. The good thing about that is that he studies the origin and the history of the statue. He doesn’t purchase them just to have them on display but rather as a conversational piece at his home.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter by the way. I’m going to visit a church this evening just because I missed mass yesterday. Have a great week y’all.

I am terribly disappointed with myself. I have prepared for it through the 40 days of Lent, only to miss out on going to church on Easter Sunday. I did plan on going and was all excited about it. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, my friends and I even took Good Friday off to do “Visita Iglesia”.

I hope that I can visit a church today and although it won’t count the same as going to mass on Easter Sunday (for me at least), I will try my best to visit and pray some place today…
