Of Good Saturday and Transformer

Saturday of the last week of June will go down as one of the most pleasant and enjoyable day for me. It is not only because I watched the movie Transformers but also because I spent a wonderful time with my friends.

Anyways we watched Transformers that Saturday, and I could say that the movie’s plot and storyline sucks because it is predictable. I also hated many characters especially the main characters. I also hate the many references to sex like dogs making out in the opening part of the movie and that irritating scene where a toy robot is humping the leg of the girl character. Another thing is why is it that all college girls in that movie are portrayed as bitches?

Another point of contention is that why the Primes chose to die just to keep The Fallen from obtaining the Matrix of Leadership? Maybe it is better that they finished all the decepticons in that ancient time and kill The Fallen. There are so many of them.

Pasalamat na lang sila at maganda yung graphics at special effects. If not I will be truly disappointed and I will just say that I wasted my money on that movie. At least I watched the trailer of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, which is really good. Now I can’t wait to watch that movie. I also saw the trailer of Wapakman, and my brother said that the trailer is well-made (though I couldn’t see why).

Prayer for the Dead

This morning, I received a SMS message from an acquaintance/friend of mine. She said:

“Patay na pastor ko! Yung naikwento ko sa iyo na dinalaw namin ni [name of boyfriend] sa ospital noon.” (My pastor is dead! He is the one I told you that we visited in hospital).

Then I replied saying that I am sending my condolences to her that I will pray for her pastor’s soul and ask God to forgive all his transgressions so that he will be worthy to stand by His side forever.

Then she answered me this SMS:

“Saved ang pastor ko, no need to pray for his soul because we are sure that his soul is already in heaven. He died last Tuesday.”

I was stumped. I mean, I can’t reply immediately because I was baffled by her SMS reply. Why would a deceased person will not require or need the prayer of other people here on earth, specifically those who love him. All people need prayer even if they are alive or already dead.

I do not want to start an argument with her, but I believe that they are blinded because they ignore the power of prayer and the wonders that it could do. Or is it simply because that the deceased person is a pastor that a prayer for the forgiveness of all his sins is not needed. They are committing a great blunder, specifically that of PRIDE. And PRIDE is a one of the seven most dangerous sin.

Every dead people should be prayed over and we should humbly ask Jesus to heal the person. Since they do not to pray for Him, I’ll be the one to pray for him.

Prayer for the Dead

Dear God, I come upon you once again to ask a great favor.

Lord, it came to my knowledge that a pastor died last Tuesday.

My God, I beseech you to forgive all his sins and that of his ancestors.

Please, remember not his evil thought and deeds.

Please keep in mind his goodness and the love of many people.

May this unknown pastor find eternal rest in Your kingdom.

May he be worthy to see Your face in the end of days.

I pray this in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Who reigns with you, forever and ever, with the Holy Spirit.

One God.

AMEN.
