Our neighbour requested for prayers to help bring back her husband’s good health. As she gracefully moved her hijab just enough for me to see the seriousness of her plight, I was struck with the image of determination and confidence in the action taken. Desperation was not outlined on her face and neither was sadness. Instinctively still, I touched her hand to comfort her, and knowing what it

PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DECLARED: June 12, 1898Someone asked if this day had any special meaning to me, a Filipino-American who had grown up here in the United States. I responded that I thought so, yes.From a fact-based perspective, I agree that June 12 was the correct choice for the Philippines to celebrate her independence rather than July 4th.

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made." Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"."It's a planet," replied

The mind is the great source of most of the material things and experiences man had and continues to acquire, good or bad. We marvel at how much really is in there, such that science has not stopped exploring it. Even this process starts with or goes back to the thinking mind. The heart (emotions) is the mind’s collaborator. Both have something to do with ingenuity from which standards to

How do we reconcile sorrow and human suffering with joy and exultation? How do we rationalize the strength-draining pain felt within because of losing loved ones and helplessness in the grim aftermath of a disaster, in contrast to celebration and jubilation? It is difficult to balance the contagious energy and euphoria brought by Christmas or this season as a whole, and the tragedy and grief just

A controversial issue started when the Bacon parish priest (now deceased) decided to close the main south entrance of the church and attempted to cover and decorate it with garish "modern" bathroom tiles, to compel people not to go out during the "sermon" part of the mass. That action, of course, shocked and appalled Bacongnons sensitive to the preservation of historical sites such as the church.
