I am being reminded that blogs should be updated regularly. One of my shortcomings. There a lot in my minds that has to be shared. Even if this will entail that nobody might be on the receiving end. Facebook has eaten my time and it has been my platform for sometime. However, this spot must not be compromise. One of the things I admire in Vietnam since our seminar on Summer Catechetical Institute for Priest hosted by Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines, Episcopal Commission for Catechetics and Catholic Education last April 20-24 is they translated the whole of the Divine Office in the Vietnamese Language. yes, we have translated a part of the Morning prayer, Noon prayer, Evening Prayer and Night prayer for a week in our native tongue but not the whole Divine Office.

My desktop stopped working for internet. It has caused me a lot of time to determine what it causes to do so. I bought a cable tester to see if the Lan cable is defective. It turns out that it was not the cable. I have two router used in one connection as connector to my desktop pc and of the office. The two routers are fine as i tested it to desktop computer at the office. The only one left is the network card and as i search for the icon of two computers as used for internet sign is not showing at the bottom right side of my computer and I could not find the network adapter in the Device Manager also.  I tried to get an update on my network adapter and run the add hardware on the control panel but it could not detect the NIC. I have check the installations of cable in both end. After exhausting myself I decided to but a USB adapter.  

DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON DIVINE REVELATION DEI VERBUM SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI ON NOVEMBER 18, 1965 PREFACE 1. Hearing the word of God with reverence and proclaiming it with faith, the sacred synod takes its direction from these words of St. John: "We announce to you the eternal life which dwelt with the Father and was made visible to us.
