"To drink the cup!"  This is what someone told me when we meet and shared about the years that past. 

He said that everything comes from unity and life comes from this Trinitarian life.  How true it is!  Even creation started from the love of God who is trinitarian, the incarnation originates from that "united love" of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Since creation was done through and in Christ, as St. Paul said, everything should go back through Christ.  How?  By being united with Christ.

"To drink the cup," is linked to what Jesus commented when He was in Gethsemani.  "Let this cup be away from me but. . . "Your will be done" To drink the cup.  This is not mere passivism but a conscious decisiion to continue to offer one's life so that life could be generated.

Now I understand.  To drink the cup of suffering, pain, darkness, worries, efforts to love and to make unity.  Unless we drink the cup, like Jesus, salvation - life, the fulness of live could not be attained.  Unless we drink the cup, there is not generativity - fuller unity that extends to the others will flow.  To drink the cup, is to allow my sufferings be part of that ricapitulation of all through Christ, his cup, sharing of his cup.

Now I entrust everything to Him. It is his cup that we share, it is His life that we should give and also receive in our hearts.  Oh how wonderful it is to see that brothers live in unity, but now I understand - it is first to drink the cup of sufferings and pain to make unity.

In every pain, a new life is gained.  Now after more than two years the grace!  I could only but thank our Lord, for allowing me to share in that cup.

I wish to thank all the other people who are continuously drinking from the same cup and give life to many.  Each and everyone of us has the capacity to generate life in many.  Let us share the same cup with Christ.
