I am weak

"work and temperance".

heheh

one of the most memorable experiences i had in my entire life is my 3- day stay in Cebu. who would ever think that i would go to Cebu this year? I am still confused and many questions arose. why?

Grieving in the process

all the while, i thought that everything would be just fine until one day i received a news that forever will haunt me, hopefully not until the day i die.

Silence in the Contemplative Life

Life, Contemplative?

Out of curiosity, how do people in this life live? Haven't you asked yourself about this? Isn't it a bit tricky and mysterious when we talk about these kind of things?

If I were you, try checking it in the web.

See you.

if...

What if some of the people you tend to trust before became the very people who would leave you behind? What if the people you need to be with leaves you in one corner all alone by yourself? What if your friends are only friends with you because you are rich or because you enjoy the same interest but never looks on your being as a friend is revealed in one way or another in their actions?

What ifs?

Though it is quite impossible for us to believe that these things are happening, it is in fact the truth. It happens in us. It happens to us.

Reminder: Try examining everyone who wishes to be your friends. The best thing about not doing so is this: Loving without expecting in return. This is what God did, unconditional love. No matter how bad mankind did to Him, He loved them and until now we are living.

Who is your friend?

I am assured of this...

One day, while I was spending my time in the chapel, I was in the middle of meditation when I realized that I have concluded with my personal motto, that is...

"I am finally assured that, I cannot live without you, O Lord."

As i was writing my finals in EDU 201, to be honest that I had difficulty in doing it. Even looking for the title is a difficult thing for me and when I had completed it and done discerning on my title, I almost died thinking of a title and I ended up with this "total surrender".

Looking back to the motto I have concluded my meditation with, it is an act of surrender. I have many things that I need to learn but out of nothing, I have grasped this meaning of my life. I am in search of something better and more like of a treasure. I know everyday is a test for me to become totally surrendered. I love being challenged. I think it is making put the best foot forward.

ps. give me a favor. whoever read this, please take care of yourself, pray everyday and pray for all the people you want. treasure them and appreciate the simple things they have done for you.

in the depth of silence

It is better to remain silent than to talk with all the know words of the world. It is enough to destroy a person's personhood by a word. It is enough for a person to be buried in the ground just because of one word. It is enough to let a tear fall by every word that comes out from the mouth of a person.

It is better for a person to remain silent in his own self and cell in prayerful communion with God tha follow the devil in corrupting young minds by useless thoughts and fantasies.

"Ad maiorem Dei gloriam." For the greater glory of God.

He breathed on them...

"Receive the Holy Spirit" On this day, I witnessed the confirmation of 204 catholics, 8 of them are from the Seminary. I am very thankful that I was able to witness this momentous event. I was made to realize that I AM ALREADY CONFIRMED. I should have grown in the Spirit of Christ.

It made me go back to examine myself. Have I really grown much from the day I was confirmed, that was when I was only seven years old? Have I improved or vice versa? Am I really filled with the Holy Spirit? Do people fell the Spirit within me through my words and actions?

"As the Father sent me, so I send you." Do people around me really feel that I am sent by the Father to them? Have I been a Christ - figure to the people I meet?

problems

"If problems would make me pray longer ad if it can make me become serious in having a conversatio with you, give me all the problems in the world, Lord. I wish not to carry all of them but to have a close ecounter with you."

"walk and talk"

"People talks as if they know everything, but in reality, they know nothing."

Was there a time that we were able to think upon this simple line or sentence? Or do we often see this little sickness around us especially in the people whom we encounter with? Are we talking and talking and do nothing but talk?

Honestly, I admit that there are times that I talk and talk but not mean about it. I, myself, commit the people's mistakes I point out from people's faults. I want change but it needs to start from the person inside me.

I hate people who act as if they know everything. (to be honest)...
