Mark 12: 28-34 In management, we are always told to know the priorities. When several things come up in a day, we ask ourselves, which is the one I will have to do first? One method is to draw a box and divide it into four areas Box one is Urgent (Kaialangan na kailangan) and…

Contentment
John 6: 30-35 There is a saying that we human beings have what is called, “unlimited wants”. After one house, there is the desire for the next house; after a new cell phone, the desire for the next model; after taking advantage of a sale, one waits for the next sale. Eventually, we have to…
Lack of Faith
“Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” By the time the Pharisees spoke these words, they must have heard that Jesus had brought back people from the dead to life, cured many people who were sick, and fed thousands of people with 5 pieces of bread and 2 fishes. Yet the Pharisees and…
Rest
Once, during an Anointing of the Sick, I had the opportunity to speak to a doctor about sickness. The topic dwelled on what he calls the “Silent Killer.” This is none other than STRESS. It not only affects the heart, but the mind, the immune system, the digestive system, and many parts of the human…
Signs of God
Mark 8: 11-13 Once I had the chance to visit the Underground River in Puerto Princesa in Palawan.

Signs of the Times
Ask the experts who study the weather. More or less, then can say if the typhoon will pass our area, how strong the winds are and how much rain to expert. Ask the experts who study the stock market. They will tell you when to buy, when to sell or when to hold on to…
God’s Generosity
When I left PLDT to enter the seminary, I thought I made one of the biggest mistakes. Why leave a job that gave me security and why leave a job that had a lot of opportunities to move up the corporate ladder? Further, all that was offered to us in the seminary was, “Come and…
Fear of Failure
One of the most natural emotions of people is fear. Some of us fear ghosts, some fear getting sick, some fear the future, some fear dying, some fear talking in front of people and some fear bad elements in their neighborhood. The Gospel story of the apostles in their boat has them experience multiple. First,…
Be Like God
We always ask the question, “If God is good why is there hell?” Our Christian faith reminds us that God created spiritual beings called Angels. Lucifer, a very beautiful angel, along with one-third of the angels, rebelled against God. Why? “They wanted to be like God.” Hence, Led by St. Michael, they were cast out…
