A companion

I am sure most of Catholics know the meaning of the sponsors in the spiritual journey. Usually, they are much older and of same sex of the inquirers. But this time, a pretty girl of same age became my sponsor. Some of the classmates congratulated me with a big smile flashing from ear to ear, on their faces. I was hoping that they were not entertaining some wrong ideas. My old friend teased me that we could fall in love one day. It struck me seriously because we will have to spend a lot of time together on the spiritual things as the sponsor-inquirer relationship to maintain the better relationship with God. And I was yearning for the companion.

Surprisingly, we came from the different schools which connected to each other, not mentioning we are neighbours! Little wonder, I find it a bit easier to communicate with her. I am not sure whether I had encountered her in my young days. She has most of what I looked for in my partner. But fortunately my heart is still stubborn despite its weak spots. I hope we will become more like brother and sister in the future. Lord, please do not let me be distracted in seeking You with all my heart. Amen.
