We don’t always need to be loud to be heard. A whisper is enough to be one with Him. He can hear us loud and clear even when we are not moving our lips. All we need is to fill our hearts with our deepest desires and He will see it, hear it, and know [...]
Something to inspire us today and to keep our faith burning… I am thankful for a lot of things in my life. Whatever the hardships that come, I know that as long as my family is by my side and those who truly care for me will walk beside me… as long as I know [...]
Last Sunday, my siblings and I attended the 10 to 11AM mass officiated by Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD. He is one of the very few priests that I like. He has a very charismatic presence, a clear voice and really good homilies. I like that in a priest because it stops my mind from wandering [...]
Ash Wednesday. Today marks the beginning of Lent. It’s the season where Catholics commemorate the hardships and sacrifices leading to the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. It is time for us to… Fast. Give. Pray.
Our family goes to Sto. Domingo Church to hear mass. We live near this church so it’s convenient for us to go there. There are other churches near our house where we can also go to but we grew up going to Sto. Domingo Church so we just continued doing so. Maybe because now we [...]
On this day of your life, Adie, we believe God wants you to know … that miracles aren’t always big. If you spend all your time looking for big miracles, you’re likely to miss a lot of the little ones; finding your keys when you need them, getting the right medicine for an illness, arriving [...]
On Sunday, the Feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo will be celebrated. As our tradition, my dad, my sister Meng and I will be attending the first mass of that day. It’s around 3 in the morning. This year, my brother (our youngest) and my uncle (my dad’s youngest sibling) will be coming with [...]
If there is anything that I always pray for it’s the overall well-being of my love ones. Not just my family but ALL those who are dear to me including my friends and relatives. Health and safety are the important ones to always consider. I pray that all my love ones will be of good [...]
It’s Sunday. Don’t forget to go to church and say thanks. It’s just one hour of your time. Say thanks to your God. It doesn’t matter what religion you belong to. I am sure our God is one and the same. So take time out today, and every Sundays, to nurture your spiritual well-being. Keep [...]
I used to have this co-worker who was one of the most pleasant persons I’ve met in my life. He is a member of a big religious sect and they’re known to be missionaries, going from house to house to preach about their religion and God. I respect him a lot because you know, never [...]
I really get disappointed with the way some priests prepare their homilies. Some actually look like they didn’t even prepare for their homilies before officiating a mass! There’s a special occasion going on right now with our church. It’s the Feast of Our Lady of La Naval. The first day of the novena is usually [...]
I feel like I need more time to pray. I think I am just mouthing words instead of letting it come from the heart. I think that I am doing the Lord a disservice by praying daily but really talking to him once a week. It’s not right. Sayang there’s no affordable spiritual retreat I [...]
I don’t claim to be religious but I am a prayerful person. I turn to prayers everytime. It can be a simple “Thank You, Lord!” or “Please, Lord.” but it’s always at the tip of my tongue. I say thanks or I lift up the worries and hardships to Him. Of course, I am not [...]
I really feel so guilty when my mind wanders inside the church while the mass is ongoing. I’ve been noticing that priests officiate mass unprepared for their homily. So during homily, my mind would start wandering while the priest’s voice drones on and on. It’s bad, I know. I just couldn’t help it most of [...]
February 17th marked the start of the Lenten Season. Ash Wednesday is the signal that Lent is here. Catholics everywhere go to church to get ash on their foreheads. Turn away from sin and believe in the Gospel. Have you been to church last Wednesday? Are you practicing fasting during Lent?
