Stepping into the ancient ruins of Ostia Antica

Stepping into the ancient ruins of Ostia Antica in Rome, Italy is like entering a portal to a world where time stands still, yet whispers tales of impermanence and the eternal dance of life. Today we decided to pay a visit to Ostia Antica as we meandered through the labyrinth of well-preserved remnants of this once-thriving port city of Rome, the stones beneath our feet were echoing with the wisdom of generations past, inviting me to contemplate the transient nature of human existence.

The crumbling structures and fading frescoes that adorn the walls served as poignant reminders of the evanescence of material things and the enduring essence of the soul that is for God and an invitation to reflect on the fact that we should be more preoccupied with things of God, not the world because all is vanity but investing for God is divine and ETERNAL. In this place, each crack in the weathered walls, each moss-covered stone, tells a story of birth, growth, decay, and eventual renewal. It is a visual symphony of impermanence, a masterpiece crafted by time itself.

In this sacred space, where history whispers in the wind and the spirits of the past linger in the shadows, I could not help but was moved to reflect on the deeper meaning of my own spiritual journey. The ruins of Ostia Antica stand as a testament to the cyclical nature of life, where every ending is but a prelude to a new beginning. It is a reminder that change is the only constant, and that true wisdom lies in embracing the flow of life with grace and acceptance guided by God’s will. The treasures of this world are but for the world and we are but for God, this explains the reason why we must spend most of our life on things that eternally endure and work for the goodness of our souls. Not even name, title, material, or prestige but simply knowing and worshiping God in love of neighbor like thyself. Todays reading too emphasized the theme of love that is true to God’s Will.
