LIMANG BIYAYA SA KABILA NG KARAMDAMAN

2011-08-10T15:09:00.001+08:00

[draft] Noong una, kapag ako ay nilalagnat o nagkakasakit, naiisip ko agad na maraming mga bagay o mga gawain akong hindi magagawa sapagkat ako ay mahina, masama ang pakiramdam, nahihilo o inaapoy ng lagnat. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, habang ako ay patuloy na nakakaranas ng paggaling mula sa pagkakatrangkaso, maraming mga bagay akong natutunan. Hindi ko sinasabi na O.K. lang na magkasakit. Nais

A CHRIST-CENTERED SPIRITUALITY

2011-08-05T00:59:00.001+08:00

Last time in the subject Missionary Spirituality, we discussed about its Christological perspectives/ dimensions. With this, I understand and appreciate more the words of St. Paul to the Galatians saying "...it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me." (Gal. 2:20). This means that a person who aspires to become a missionary means he/ she aspires to become like Christ.

TAILORED FOR MISSIONARY VOCATION

2011-08-04T08:00:00.002+08:00

In the diagram that was presented to us by our professor in Missionary Spirituality, I learned that the vocation to become a missionary is not an easy decision. I realized that a candidate who wishes to become a missionary passes through series of tests, challenges and scrutinium. Aside from the personal discernment of a candidate, his/her superiors and formators are also discerning for his/

MISSION: WORK OF GOD

2011-07-24T22:28:00.000+08:00

Mission is "not only from human effort, but it is the work of God." Nevertheless, missionary spirituality is not only about person's skills, competence or capabilities. It is rooted in God's salvific plan. It requires religious experience, which becomes the foundation and source of mission. Accordingly, religious experience comes from one's experience of opening to God.

BUOD NG EXODO

Kabanata 1Ang mga Israelita ay naging makapangyarihan at mabilis na dumami. Ito ay pinangambahan ng bagong hari (na hindi nakakakilala kay Jose) at ng mga Egipcio. Naglagay sila ng mga mababagsik na tagapangasiwa para pahirapan ang mga Israelita. Ipinag-utos ng Faraon sa 2 komadrona na patayin ang lahat ng lalaking sanggol na isisilang ng mga Hebrea. Hindi nila ito sinunod kaya’t kinalugdan

MISSION IN THE MIND OF GOD

2011-07-20T22:19:00.005+08:00

Last July 13, 2011, after our first session of class in Missionary Spirituality, I realized that if there is the "mission in the mind of God," there is also a "mission in the mind of a person." "Mission in the mind of a person" pertains to a mission that thinks of the alleviation of the pain and suffering of fellow human beings. It could be in a form of social work, philanthropic activities,

KERYGMA IS REAL

2011-07-20T22:00:00.003+08:00

BEFORE, my notion of Kerygma is about reading and memorizing the Bible, academic research and other "intellectual gymnastics." In other words, Kerygma is about intellectual competence and skills in public speaking.AFTER we discussed in our class (Missionary Spirituality) about Kerygma, I realized that one's personal experience of God is highly required in the oral proclamation. I learned that

One of the miracles attributed to Blessed Hannibal Maria di Francia, founder of the Congregations of the Rogationist of the Heart of Jesus and Daughters of Divine Zeal, was that of the healing of a young Filipina child, Charisse Diaz, who was born on January 28, 1993 in Iloilo. She contracted a fatal strain of bacterial meningitis which at that time was resistant to any known antibiotics. She

A. INTRODUCTION 1. Background of the Study Christology is the part of theology which deals with Jesus Christ. In its full extent it comprises the doctrines concerning both the person of Christ and His works. Accordingly, many writers in Christology present Jesus Christ with different themes and emphases.

I. SUMMARY A Man For All Seasons tells the life story of this famous Englishman whose popularity amidst his fellow citizens comes from a reputation for fair and impartial judgment.

Approaches to Preaching Paul[1] I. Summary The article, “Approaches to preaching Paul,” by Fr. Michael F. Hull started with his overview regarding the earlier article he wrote in Homiletic and Pastoral Review (HPR), which examined based of its some challenges involved in preaching the “gospel” of St. Paul. Accordingly, in this new article

Summary The book written by Fr. Enrico D. Gonzales, OP, entitled, “Diary of a Preacher; Guidelines for Preaching” was divided into five chapters.

24 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed

I. Marcos 4:26-29 (Ang Salita ng Diyos) Ang Talinghaga ng Binhing Tumutubo 26Sinabi ni Jesus: Ang paghahari ng Diyos ay katulad sa isang tao na nagtanim ng binhi sa lupa. 27Siya ay natutulog at bumabangon araw at gabi. Ang binhi ay sumisibol at lumalaki na hindi niya nalalaman kung papaano. 28Ito ay sapagkat ang lupa mismo ang nagpapabunga sa mga binhi, una muna ang usbong, saka uhay,

WOMEN PRIESTS — NO CHANCE

2011-07-12T00:19:00.001+08:00

I. Summary[1] There is a general assumption, especially in North America and Europe, that the Catholic Church’s insistence on a male priesthood is an obscure anomaly, which endures only because most of the popes refuse to move with the times. Pope John Paul II, using his full authority as the successor of Peter, states that the Church cannot — not will not, but cannot — ordain women, now or in

Reflection on Faith & Various Cultures

"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14) Here in the Philippines, we have a lot of cultures and traditions that contribute to the big picture of our faith as Christians. We have had a long history of vivid and dynamic religious journey. Our understanding of our faith has been colored by

Amy-Jill Levine’s “Jesus and Judaism: Why the Connection Still Matters”

2011-07-12T00:11:00.000+08:00

Before, I was looking at my Catholic practices as if the only source of the salvation of all. I was looking at it as the original one. I had a “negative caricature” of the Jews based on my wrong understanding of Jesus approach to the Jews and Judaism. But after reading Levine’s article about the connection of Jesus and Judaism, I understand now better and deeper the background of Jesus, not only

Reflection on Fides et Ratio

2011-07-12T00:05:00.001+08:00

When I was assigned in a non-sectarian university-based parish, I met a lot of “intellectual persons” - professors and students – who questioned their own faith as Christians. I noticed, upon listening to their ideas and explanations about Christianity, they tried to explain and to present the “truths” of their faith like the way they were “groomed” in university. For them, they need

Habang namamasyal ang Panginoon sa paligid ng kalangitan, napansin niya ang di-pangkaraniwang pagdami ng mga bagong saltang kaluluwa sa loob ng langit.Dahil dito tinawag niya ang atensiyon ni San Pedro upang magpaliwanag sa mga pangyayari.Tanong ng Panginoon, “Pedro, bakit biglaan yata ang pagdami ng mga kaluluwa dito mula sa purgatoryo?

Judging Others

2011-07-11T23:47:00.002+08:00

In Logic, it is said that the mind forms ideas by simple apprehension. It is the process of grasping or abstracting the essence of a thing. It focuses on the nature it signifies and leaves aside the concrete and sensible characteristics of that thing.But the mind also compares two ideas, then notices and judges whether they agree or not with the other. This mental operation the mind does is

The Gospel for today speaks about following Jesus Christ.. Jesus said: "If you want to follow me, DENY YOURSELF, take up your cross and FOLLOW ME." Reflecting upon this Word, I remember Tita Cory Aquino for her true and sincere following of Christ... She is a good example of living faithfully the "vocation within vocation". Her vocation to married life implies service-TRUE SERVICE.

A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God’s attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.There is a terrible hunger for love.
