Love
I love to be in Love. I found a person who I believed love ME as mach I love him. I know him for 10 years and I love him every day more. And Valentines day is a day to have another celebration of our love. We are marred for 5. I don't know WHY I love him. I felt secure, strong, and loved. His is strong , but still huggable. I love to be around him. I could not sleep without him.
Even if he stop love me, I well forgive him because I love him unconditionally. However, I am suer that well never happened. He show his love many many times.
I understand what this people believed. The pain of unshared love could be killing if you don't understand of meaning to love and to be loved.

The sacrament of PENANCE
The power to forgive sins is a wonderful gift that God has given to priests. He first gave this gift to the apostles on the evening of the day of His Resurrection. He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive men’s sins; they are forgiven them; if you hold them bound, then they are bound.” It was at this moment that the ability to forgive sins was given to the apostles.
The sacrament of penance shows how merciful and forgiving God is. No matter how bad you have sinned against him, if you are truly sorry, he will forgive you.
There are five very important things to remember to do when you go to confession. They are:
1. Ask yourself how you have offended God.
2. Be truly sorry for your sins.
3. Make up your mind not to sin again.
4. Tell your sins to the priest.
5. Do the penance the priest gives you.
Sorrow for your sins is the most important part of confession. The words the priest uses to forgive a sinner are, “I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

to forgive
After his resurrection, Jesus passed on his mission to forgive sins to his ministers, telling them, "As the Father has sent me, even so I send you. . . . Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (John 20:21–23).
"It is necessary to confess our sins to those to whom the dispensation of God’s mysteries is entrusted. Those doing penance of old are found to have done it before the saints. It is written in the Gospel that they confessed their sins to John the Baptist [Matt. 3:6].

What I want my words to do to you?
The movie “What I want my words to do to you” makes me fill sorry for those women, as their stories are really sad. One of the stories got stuck in my head, and that was the story in exercise # 1 Keila Palinito (I think that was the girl’s name). She killed the guy who had raped her three days ago. When she asked him “why you did that terrible thing to me?” he laughed at her. Then, he threatened her to rape her again and put a knife to her neck. After that, she could not explain how, but we have realized that she shot him with a gun. That story like the rest of the movie was just one version of what supposedly happened. She was under twenty-one years of age. How did she get the gun? This is the question that made me think about the story again. Then I started to realize that there must have been a reason that they were in prison. I considered the option that the stories we heard were just one version of what might have happened. But who were the victims? First of all, we weren’t present at their court hearings. We didn’t see how the involved parties acted. Neither did we hear what they said in front of the judge. Did they say “I am sorry”? Besides, it is easier to confess in front of people who are likely to be sympathetic. Those people didn’t judge the crimes committed by others, and everything was a part of a process of therapy. Perhaps, it is bad to say so, but I would like to say that for some of them confessing was just another way of making the time pass away faster. Last but not least, I could say that “this is what those women should tell in front of a camera”. Why are we supposed to believe them? They are after all a bunch of convicted killers. Yes, they are people with feelings, but I feel sorrier for the victims’ families than for the convicts.

What I want my words to do?
I don’t know what I want my words to do. May be, like most people, I what to be understood. Sometimes, I want my questions to be answered. Other times, the only thing I want is somebody to respond to my greetings. It sounds easy, but isn’t it? Yet, if I think of it, everybody wants to be understood, but no one makes the first step. We assume that the first step should to be done by other people. Each of us talks on the cell phone when we drive (at list one time). We walk with ipod or mp3. We don’t care what happens around us. We don’t watch out, and we don’t listen anything. We assume that people see us even we don’t see them. We assume that people will hear us, even we don’t hear them. This is the reason why I believe that my words may not be heard. Besides, I know that I couldn’t make any difference using my words. We are enclosed in our word of glass, and nothing seems to go out or get in. You don’t believe me? Just, count how many times you say “hello” to somebody you don’t know, although you have seen his/her face many times. Or can you count how many times people answer any of your greetings?
