priest

I am sorry, that I was not been able to post frequently. There is much work and I think I have expand much of myself in making different blogs or web blogs on the internet. Aside from my work as a priest, there are some social responsibilities that I must also attend to. Before, I was pleading for some people in the hirarchy to give me some works on making the site for the diocese. I have find o is no need to ask them about it because there is much to be done even on my personal capacity. I thought, that it is my contribution to the presbyterium and to the local church or diocese. After much reflection, I have several sites of which I cannot find time to maintain in regular pace. This is one of the reson of not been able to post here regularly. So some of my post here are timestamped to make the way. Sometimes, I also give more time to some of the sites who gather much popularity that this personal site of mine, of which is also the barometer, I used for the need of the people. Howeve...

I have asked several parishioners to accompany me to Sta. Cruz, Manila for some important matters such as buying the right stuff and specification for the exhaust fan for the Church. The athmosphere of the Church is too hot. I asked Bro. Tas to accompany me because he knows the specification which is needed for the area of the church and its capacity to blow out all the unwanted hot air. I also asked Sis. Ligaya and Sis. Cena because they are familiar with the place and be able to recommend what is more appropriate. I bought also 5 outdoor flourescent lights for the Church and convent grounds. Blogs commenting Fr.

After my Mass at Karbaritan, somebody invited me for a house blessing. A Filipino U.S. citizen decided to build a house here in her native town so that when she comes here for a visit, he could stay sometime to her own house. I was been told that before, there is no stone houses around, it was only been lately when people have money by working abroad that they have stated to build big stone houses. it is also to be noted that when there is no longer people around that they stated building big and beautiful houses. They would like to set to the people's eye that they become successful but there is nobody really living in the house except the caretakers who comes from time to time to see the house. For others, they let their relatives use the house while they are not around. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

Since John have some important matters to attend to, I asked willy to drive me for my scheduled barrio Masses. Willy is a resident of Bay for 47 years and yet he have not reached sipit. It was not much of a distance but because it is out of the way for regular communters. People go there because there is something they have to attend to. It is only a small community. Around 40 houses to 50. most of them are workers of IRRI. After Sipit, we celebrated Mass also in Brgy. Paciano Rizal. They have a basketball game when we arrive but they stopped when we started our celebration of the Holy Eucharist. At least, there are some concern individual in the community who acknowledge the importance of the Mass. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

I have a barrio named Maitim (black). it is still within the vicinity of poblacion proper, so there is no regula mass being held there. However, today, as a part of the program of "Dalaw ni San Agustin" (visit of St. Augustine) to every barangay, I celebrated my Mass there. it has some number of atandance but the most sad of it is that is is situated along the main road whic make it too noisy even if there is a public audio system. During my homily in this program I asked two things about St. Augustine. My question were what was the title of the book of the autobiography of St. Augustine and the title of the book which he envisioned of what heaven and heaven on earth shall be. They are humble enough to admit that they have not known any book written by the said saint. So, I am starting from scratch, I thought of myself. It seems that there is a lot of thing that should be done in respect for the extensive knowledge of the saint. People from other part of the country comes to ...

While waiting for google to upload my video which I have taken last Monday during the Episcopal district meeting, I stumble upon on some videos on Science. Well they were created by scienceonline taken from http://hilaroad.com/video/ . What makes me drawn to its is its section on lemon battery. It is quite energizing also to review one's knowledge with the wonders of this life. I have made a pod for it would like to share it for those who would like to learn whether as a newbie or for those who would like to refresh their science lesson. Happy viewing.

The bishop celebrates his episcopal anniversary. After the celebration in Paete, we hurriedly proceded to San Pablo City for the celebration of the Bishop. I also ask the secretary of the bishop for the schedule of the confirmation and of the feast of St. Augustine. I also ask Msgr. Alex Amante for the main celebrant of the concelebrated Mass. They all agreed to the propose schedules. After confirming the schedules, I drop by at Lala's house in del Remedio, knowing that her aunt have passed away ( I gave the annointing of the sick before to her aunt two weeks before). I pause for a prayer for the soul of her aunt but Lala was not there. So, i proceded to the parish because there awaits my parishioners for the funeral Mass. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

After watching the episode of vermin culture or worm culture, I decide to visit the CRTD (Center for Rural Rechnological Development, one of the agencies of the Philippine Bussiness for Social Progress) located at the neighboring town, Calauan, Laguna, Philippines). The first time, I heard of it was when I was a new priest, when someone invited me to hear confession for a group of youth. It was later on through my cousin, Salvacion Torreflores, I learned that it is also used for training on a lot of matters including the information dissimination of the vermin culture. After my morning mass, I asked somebody to drive me to the said place. There, I learned a lot of things about worms. However, I was not been able to bring with me my camera, I was not been able to take some pictures. I also bought a Kilo of Vermins for 800 pesos, I was informed that it is about 150 pieces of worms. It was place along with the other composed materials so that they might have some food along the way. I as...

After the meeting and taking Lunch at Bel Air, Cabuyao , Laguna , I immediately hurried back to the parish to prepare myself for the teacher's recollection of the Liceo De Bay. My Laptop is having some problem in loading immediately. Maybe because of too many programs installed therein or maybe because it is already outdated. It was been more than four years since them I bought it . However, I tried to make use of it for the said recollection. I have decided to give them the summary of the Sacramentum Caritatis , since it is their care that the students could be properly instructed on the importance of the sacraments. Sacramentum Caritatis is an apostolic exhortation not to make new law on liturgy but a new liturgical movement based on the present liturgical laws with emphasis on the proper celebration because it is a potent instrument of evangelization . Sacraments as signs, especially the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist which is celebrated if not everyday, every week. It...

One of the topic discussed in our vicariate meeting is to hold a meeting for the episcopal district of the Diocese of San Pablo because of some question of which we believe is not only of concern of the vicariate but also of the other vicariate within the episcopal district II. Fr. Marvi who is the episcopal district vicar is one of the priest of the vicariate. Here is the content of the meeting in video we have discussed not all matters that we have discussed was been filmed because, my camera was run out of battery. This post was been quite late as of the date because of transfering files from the video cam to computer could somehow tedious and requires a lot of time. Aside from the things that were discussed in the Video, there is a work assigned to me as one of the vicariate vicar of the said episcopal district as well as the one in-charge with the lay minister of the parish. The group would like to make a set of talks for the lay ministers of the Holy Communion which will become t...

St. Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) According to www.maryvale.ac.uk/ brigettines.htm, St Bridget of Sweden is best known as author of a book of " Revelation " and as the foundress of the Order of the Most Holy Saviour . She was born at Finsta in Sweden in 1303. From childhood the Lord granted her special graces, visions and an extraordinary understanding of divine realities. At a very early age she had a vision of the crucified Jesus in all the tragedy of his Passion, and she felt enkindled in her soul a profound devotion to the Saviour. This devotion would later become a precious heritage of the Bridgettine Order, as expressed in its motto" Amor Meus Crucifixus Est" . Bridget married at age thirteen out of obedience to her parents, though she would rather have entered monastic life. She was the mother of eight children whom she raised with exemplary care in the Christian faith. She travelled as a pilgrim to many shrines together with her husba...

Why Make another San Pablo Network? This the primary question that I am primarily confronted with making this network. I have made a network for the diocese hoping that there will be a central web site of which all the parishes and parishioners can communicate together for some information about the diocese. However, there are still some people who are aking me to enter to that network who are not priests. I have in mind before that the said network wwill cater more on the needs of the priest within the diocese. But it seemds that there are more lay who are also looking for such information. It will double my work. However, I could not let the other first netrwork deleted because it has its own purpose different from the reason I am making this though there might be duplication of work. The other network is private because there are information that is for the consumption of the priests of the diocese and not for everybody. There are communicati...

The trees within the church and convent yard need some trimmings. It was been since that I have told several people within the parish if they know someone who could assist me on this undertaking but it is only now that somebody have come out for the said job. The tress need to be trimmed because it is already a rainy season. A month ago, water have entered the church and convent because the roof drainage is full of twigs and dry leaves. It has caused much trouble. The difficulty on the construction of the church roof is that it is so stiff. It needs someone who could balance himself with the stiffness of the said roof and still remain to work there to get rid of the trashes. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

An invitation from the parish of St. John the Baptist for the novena mass in honor of their patron saint, St. John the Baptist. Supposedly, my schedule there is to the 24th of August but since there was a conflict to one of the celebrants he opted to take my date instead. What's new, it seems that one of my trademark is that I could be persuaded to give way, I accepted it even though it is an eve before the feast of my own parish. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post
