Why God Reveals Himself to Man

This is an outline of my talk in the recollection I have given to my parishioners this advent season

1. The Necessity of Revelation
2 kinds of revelation
normal
supernormal

2. Revelation as a historical fact

3. Revelation as an inner experience
Dogma as protective husk

4. Proclaimed Revelation
Spoken/written word
The Scriptures becomes the Word of God only when spoken

5. Symbolic Mediation
Symbolism gives not speculative but participatory knowledge
has a transforming effect
powerful inuence on commitments and behaviour
introduces us into realms of awareness not normally accessible to discursive thoughts

6. Christ, the summit of revelation

7. Bible: Document of Revelation
'render God'

8. The Church: The bearer of Revelation

Entrecard Droppers

Image
Look what I have found, a widget from work at home blog  for lingking entrecard droppers. I am also trying to make widget just like that of 300 links for 30 minutes of dropping. I was trying to make one because there are linkks that have no entrecard card or no such user and even broken links. I will be trying this widget to at least reciprocate my droppers and also to drop my cards to the said sites. Here is the widget: Free Widgets at Work-at-Home-Wealth.com - Get yours Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

Holy Study (Banal na Pagaaral)

Image
Some people came to me for courtesy concerning their group and their activities. They have been here before for sometime before i came as their parish priest but has stopped coming here and moved to a new venue. They call themselves as "Banal na Pag-aaral", Holy Study. I do not know if that is the right translation in English for the said group. They are asking to be recognized as another group of the parish seeking holiness through the study of the Bible and through the eucharistic devotion. So, since the more, the merrier. As long as they comply with the policy of the parish, I see no objection about recognizing them. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post
