  Called, Gifted and Sent Reynaldo R. Capili, SSS   An irresistible call gathers us five - Jose Arnel, Gregorio Jr., Reynaldo, Dante and Victoriano,  in Sta. Cruz Parish Convent, Sta. Cruz, Manila where the blue car with smiling driver awaits us, that was April 27, 1988.  We continue listening to the call, and like St. Paul on his way to Damascus, we were blinded by His light and we asked “Who are you, sir?” The voice, of the one who calls, said, “I am Jesus, the Nazarean, whom you do not know ?” we replied, “ Then, reveal yourself to us, Lord .” A reciprocal love story unfolds before us, as “… we welcome the Lord Jesus in His Eucharistic presence… ,” (Rule of Life #3) on that faithful morning of May first, nineteen ninety. Twenty-five years ago, is not so distant a time, but ever so fresh and invigorating to reminisce, especially if it is something dear to us, our consecration to God and his people . So this silver anniversary of our religious profession is ...

  IPAGKAMAPURI NATIN ANG MGA INA Pagpupugay sa mga INA Reynaldo Rayo-Capili May 9, 2014 at 5:54 PM   Noong ako’y bata pa si Mommy na ang kasakasama; Naglilinis ng bahay,naglalaba sa ilog, o umaani sa bukid, Walang patumanggang pagsasaalang-alang ng kanyang tungkulin, Butihing ina, ulirang maybahay na asawa ni Papa.   Ikaw naman katoto,anong alaala ang mayroon ka; Sa iyong sariling ina na sa wari ko ay mayroon ding kwenta. Sikaping ipahayag ng iyong isipa’t damdamin ang mga hiwaga, Na bumabalot sa iyong kahanga-hanga’t dakilang Ina.   Gunita nati’y taun-taon inaalala, tungkol kay Inay na dakila talaga; Nilikha ng Maykapal mula sa tadyang ni apong Adam, Upang makatuwang sa pag-alaga at pag-aalala Nyaring dakilang sangnilikha, ng napakagandang si Eva.   Sa umpisa’y palamuti lamang sa kubol ng asawa Nang malauna’y kinilala na sa mundo ng pagandahan; Naging tanyag,nagliwanang, nagkaporma’t nagpahayag Saloobi’t isipan sa ika...

Lumipas na Alaala Di kaginsa-ginsa'y, nagulat ang aking pagkakahimlay, Sa mga ala-alang lumipas na't taglay Karanasang malungkot at masayang tunay. Mga alaalang nagbigay inam at kulay Sa pagyabong nyaring naglalakbay na buhay, Na si papa at momm'y laging handa't nakaantabay.

Abandon Not Your Ideals

WE GROW OLD BY DESERTING OUR IDEALS Poem by Samuel Ullman Popularized by Gen. Douglas MacArthur (Gen. Douglas MacArthur was so inspired by Samuel Ullman’s poem that he popularized it and kept a framed copy in his office while Supreme Allied commander in Japan. He quoted it so often in his speeches that became known as “MacArthur Credo.”) Youth is not a time of life. It’s a state of mind. It’s a test of the will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of emotion, a predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair … these are the quick equivalents of the long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is, in every beings’ heart the love of wonder, th...
