New Blog: Catholic Web Directory

Image
Creating a new directory for blogs have also promted me to do the same for Catholic websites. Though there are sites that combine both feature of a static page and those as of blogs, I see it is also necessary to bring them together into one collection. Maybe I could help other catholics to find what they are looking for by pointing them to the right direction. The Catholic Web Directory could be accessed here : http://catholicwebdirectory.blogspot.com Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

Catholic Terms

Image
I decided to make another blog for the collection of catholic terms, I myself find some difficulty to understand. I called it Catholic Term and has this address : http://catholicdictionary.blogspot.com.  Other terms can be added later oneven though I might already know them, so that others may also be guided properly concerning the proper meaning of some terms we are using as catholic. This may also help other non-catholic to understand us better.  Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

Of Course, the spiritual preparation such as Novena to the said patron has already started. General House cleaning is necessary to make the surrounding beautiful and to put other things in order that was been left alone for almost a year.  Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

Sis. Letty and Sis. Den, both parishioners of the Holy Trinity Parish, open new stores in Los Banos, Laguna near the crossing area. Sis. Letty open a cloth store and Sis. Den an office supply store. They chose Los Banos beause of the influx of people, more potential custumer. Nowadays, we nned more exposure to help the said business to florish.

Frustrating Internet Providers

Image
We always like a smooth surfing and easy access to internet. Most of my time needs a lot of bandwith. Since Saturday, the connection of Smartbro becomes too frustrating. It is not only that of the inefficiency of the said provider to fix the problem but the time spent to report the said problem. Since day one of the lost connection, I have started to report it but it takes a lot of useless procedure because they already know that the problem is in their system. Every time I called them surely they will ask what is your name, what is the reference number, is this name the one reflected in the account, what is the ip address, what is the physical address, unplug the motorola device, disable and enable internet connection, clear your internet history, delete all temporary files and after it they will give you the report number to be follow up after 24 hours without telling you the problem. Even my smart phone was disconnected several times during the conversation. I observed also that it ...

Cj's Birthday 2008

Image
When I was assigned in Suba, Majayjay, Laguna during the 1990's, Imade some friends, both from the Our Lady of the Pillar parish and of neighboring parishes. Some were just high school students then. But now, they are professionals, others married and have children already. CJ is one of them but it was been a long time since no communication was made from either of us. It was only later during the last Chrism Mass that CJ and her parents attended in San Pablo that she has seen me again. I did not noticed here then because ther are many faithful who attended this yearly celebration. It was through the internet that she was able to see my contact and have emailed me. It was then that communication was reestablished. Today, I came to their house for the celebration of her birthday. here are soe pictures during the said celebration with some of the guest.

Assumption 2008

Image
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The word assumption means that Mary went to heaven nit by herself to distinguish it from Jesus, the Christ who ascended to Heaven. Mary did not go to heaven by herself. Jesus ascended to heaven because it is His right as the "one who came from heaven". It is only through Jesus that Mary entered heaven. This is just a simple clarification but has great impact on the catechesis of the People of God. The difference is needed for the clarification that through the merits of Mary's faith and ours in Jesus Christ as the very reason of being taken to heaven. Good works is not excluded here because faith without work is dead. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

Annual Retreat

Image
Franciscan sister giving orientation I arrive in Tagaytay at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was been a time to be still and have some moments of reflection. The first day is really a time to settle in for some rest both in mind and body. There is no schedule except the orientation from the nuns who are managing the retreat center and from the retreat director. Personally the retreat is more an invigorating moment to charge one's spirituality and to give some time on some major decision that I have made. To side aside the mistakes and triumps of my life for the past year. It is a humble experience to see that with all the effort that we oured only comes from the merciful love of our Creator, Saviour and Sanctifier. Msgr. Alex Amante giving some instruction Since I was ordained, this is the simplest cabinet I have ever since for a five day retreat We are travelers in this world, there is no need for luxury Blogs commenting Fr.
