Bridging Light Updates!

Hooyoo,

Recently I had a dream about ants. Millions of ants crawling around in my dreams. It's so... icky. The next day, I googled "Ants dreams interpretations" and one of the results said that: "To dream of ants means you will let small things accumulate and turn into a big burden. This is a warning so it's not to late to make changes and prevent this from being the case."

My own interpretation would be: To dream of ants means that I'm letting little sins accumulate and turn into a big burden. I don't have any big sins, just little sins here and there... But if these little sins were to add up, it would become a huge bag of burden! Imagine Jesus, carrying the whole world's burdens!

Let's lighten our heart and His load by receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation next week. Let's prepare our hearts once again, to receive him and to walk with him throughout his Passion. If He can die for you, what's so difficult about spending some time to ask for his forgiveness and love? So... have you been dreaming about any ants recently?
