Taon ng Pananampalataya

“Dahil tayo ay tinawag ng Diyos, at patuloy pa ring tinatawag,
upang manatili ang buo nating pagkatao sa Kanya sa pakikibahagi
nang pangmagpakailanman ang isang buhay na banal at malaya mula sa lahat ng kabulukan.
Napagtagumpayan ito ni Kristo nang muli siyang mabuhay,
dahil sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kamatayan tayo ay pinalaya mula sa kamatayan”
(Gaudium et Spes, 18).

Mga mayamang pananalita na akma sa pasimula ng Pandaigdigang Taon ng Pananampalataya – isang katotohanan at paanyaya na tayo ay tinawag at patuloy na tinatawag upang maging malayang mga ampong anak ng Diyos. Kapag ang buhay natin ay umiinog lang sa araw-araw na mga pinagkakaabalahan at hindi lumalagpas sa makamundong gawain, ang buhay ay hungkag at walang malalim na kahulugan. Datapuwa’t salamat sa pagmamalasakit ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Kristo at sa kababaang-loob ng Mahal na Birhen, muli nasumpungan ng tao na ang malalim na kahulugan ng kanyang pagkatao ay ang kanyang pagiging pinili at tinawag ng Diyos sa Kanyang pag-ibig. Mulat sa ganitong katotohanan, ang paglalakbay ng tao patungo sa pagtugon sa tawag ng Diyos ay larawan ng pananampalataya. Odlanyer

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...

Called, Gifted and Sent

  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 ...
