Noong nakaraang taon, nagdiwang tayo ng Panahon ng Adviento na sinundan ng Panahon ng Pasko. Masaya nating ipinagdiwang ang kapanganakan ni Jesus. Ngayon nagsisimula tayo ng Panahon ng Kuwaresma. Malaki ang agwat ng kaligayahan ng Pasko at kalungkutan ng Kuwaresma. Ang totoo, ang dalawang ito ay magkadugsong at hindi magkahiwalay. Sa Pasko, ipinagdiwang natin ang kapanganakan ni Jesus bilang ating manunubos. Sa Kuwaresma isinasakatuparan na ni Jesus ang pagiging manunubos. Siyempre sa Kuwaresma naroon ang kalungkutan pero may dahilan ito. Sa kuwaresma, hinaharap natin ang katotohanan bilang tao na makasalanan. Ano ang kahulugan ng pagiging makasalanan? Malayo sa Diyos, sumuway sa Diyos, nagtakwil sa Diyos. Kung inilalayo, kung sumusuway, kung itinatakwil natin ang bukal ng lahat ng kabutihan, katotohanan, kaligayahan, pag-ibig at kapayapaan saan tayo napupunta? Sa kasamaan, kasinungalingan, sa kapighatian, sa pagkamuhi at kaguluhan. Tayo ay nahihirapan, naguguluhan, nasa...

It was not much a long time since I have stopped blogging and using the platform and yet much has changed in the internet. I have missed the opportunity which google docs offered, Or it is only now that the capabilities of google docs is being enhanced. Well, I am not certain to answer this question however it should be of great help not only for me but as well as to the rest of the blogger community to make use of this free service, It is also being used by many web and blog hosts as well as platforms because it can easily be integrated,. As an example from the above is a slide posted by catholic fortress in Facebook. Since facebook does not support a slideshow except when it is embedded or be shown to its link. here is the slideshow on fasting and abstinence. 

Ang mga sumusunod na pangungusap ang LIHAM PASTORAL ng Lub. Kgg. Mons. Buenaventura M. Famadico, D.D., Lingkod-Obispo ng San Pablo, para sa Araw ng Pasko (2016): Minamahal kong mga kapwa anak ng Diyos, Ipinagdiriwang natin ngayon ang pagsilang ng Diyos na naging tao. Ang Diyos ay naging tao upang tayong mga tao ay makibahagi sa kaluwalhatian, pag-ibig, kagalakan, kapayapaan at buhay na walang hanggan ng Diyos. Yan ang dahilan kung bakit tayo’y nagsasaya. Pero hindi lahat ay masaya. May mga kababayan tayo ngayon na malungkot dahil nawala ang mahal sa buhay. Siya ay pinatay dahil sangkot sa droga. Hindi lamang sila, ayon sa survey ngayong Disyembre, walo sa kada sampung Pilipino ang natatakot na baka siya o kakilala niya ay mamatay sa extra judicial killing. Maging ang  loob ng bahay ay hindi na ligtas. Papasukin ito ng taong nagnanais pumatay.  Hindi ka na rin makatitiyak na ikaw ay ipagtatanggol ng may kapangyarihan sapagkat sila mismo ay kasama rin sa m...

Sign the online Petition "Hindi ko gustong mamatay ang sinuman, wika ng Panginoon!" (Ezekiel 18:32)   Minamahal na Bayan ng Diyos, Labis kaming nababahala, kaming inyong mga Obispo, sa maraming namamatay at pinapatay sa pagsugpo sa ipinagbabawal na gamot o droga. Totoong malaking problema ang droga. Dapat itong sugpuin at pagtagumpayan. Pero ang lunas ay wala sa pagpatay ng mga pinaghihinalaang gumagamit o nagtutulak ng droga. Hindi lang kami nababahala sa mga pinatay. Nakakabahala ang kalagayan ng mga pamilya ng mga nasawi. Mas lalong pinahirapan ang buhay nila. Nakakabahala rin ang takot na naghahari sa maraming lugar ng mahihirap. Marami ang nasasawi na hindi naman droga ang dahilan. Hindi na napananagot ang mga pumapaslang. Mas lalong nakakabahala ang pagiging manhid ng marami sa ganitong katiwalian. Itinuturing na lang na ito ay normal, at ang masama pa ay iniisip ng marami na nararapat lang daw itong gawin. Nakikiisa kami sa layuning pagbabago na ...

This morning while hearing confessions to the stu,dents of one of the Catholic Schools here in San Pedro City in the province of Laguna, I received a text coming from the secretary of the Bishop of the Diocese of San Pablo, Rev. Fr. Eugene Fadul on the Internment of the mother of Rev. Fr. Doy Bariring this coming Tuesday at  one 'oclock in the afternoon (1:00 PM) to be held in the parish of St. Vincent Ferrer, Mamatid, Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines. Let perpetual light shine upon Leonarda with your Saints for ever, for you are merciful. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her, with your Saints for ever, for you are merciful. Amen.

Creating a website with your own domain name is of a new experience and I am excited of the features it brings. Choosing the Wix as the web hosting company is not an easy decision because of many competitions and it is very difficult to decide if you have not chosen one with a paid subscription. Free subscription is already a domain of which in some way or another I am familiar with. A paid subscription is totally a new realm and you will be overwhelm with the feature every hosting company offers the subscriber to be. San Pablo Diocesan Catechetical Commission dot com is a site for the Commission of the Catechesis of the Diocese of San Pablo from which the director of the said commission have instructed your servant to create one for a more coverage of the activities of the said commission especially to reach the younger generation. Why it is only now that I venture towards creating an owned domain name. Well, financial reason could be one of the reason though it is n...

The youth have new way of inviting those who wishes to serve the Lord in the language they could easily understand. I Just hope that more young people will serve the Lord in a more diverse way including the vocation to the priesthood. We are being overrun by other religions and sects because we have handful of workers. Though, we believe in the inspiration and works of the Holy Spirit but it is also a part of the workings of the same Spirit that more young people will be activated to the vocation of priesthood. It will be mathematically impossible if one priest can administer a ten thousand parishioners. It will be more manageable if the number will be lessened if there are enough shepherds the faithful.

I am a google user, I am using many of the google products but not all. Google sites is not one of them. I just encountered it recently when the director of the San Pablo Diocesan Catechetical commission, Rev. Fr. Jorge Seldon instructed me to make a website of the Catechetical Commission for a greater coverage of the flow of information. I have been using Blogger  for a long time already though I forgot to update my blogs. Yet, blogger and google site is of different system. On the other hand, When i asked the director of the Mass Media of the Diocese of San Pablo, Rev. Fr. David Reyes of which company they are using for web hosting, he directed me to wix. I have seen it but have no time to try it and learn the tricks of the said webhosting company. Though you could make use of different platforms and widgets as long as you have some knowledge of the html codes. However, it will add some bandwidth when you are crossing two different sites. it will be better to use one ...
