Twenty Four Pesos

I am really thankful to God for making Yesterday celebration of the Feast Day of Saint Martin de Porres here in Adelina 1, San Pedro, laguna. I will upload the pictures later as the internet connections are too week. After the Presbyteral meeting this morning in Bishop's Residence, I was glad to see the price of gasoline went down to 24.00 pesos in Shell gas stations. Different gas station charge you differently even of the same brand or carriers. So far this one in Alaminos, Laguna is the cheapest I have seen ever. I was not able to take pictures from other Shell gasoline station. Though, i have already that in mind. Somehow our mind play tricks on us make us think that we have done already what we though we will do but it is still something in the mind and time pass by thinking we have already done it and the opportunity already flies with the time and occasion. going back to diesel price, this is the lowest ever I have seen in Shell station during the presidency of Benig...

Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene

Saint Mary Magdalene according to the fathers of the Church distinguish the three persons, the "sinner" of Luke  7:36-50, the sisters of Martha and Lazarus in  Luke 10:38-42 and John 11 and Mary Magdalen of Luke 8:2. The Latin Fathers believe that they are one person, however, some scholars believe that they are two if not three. What is clear based on the reading the Church uses today for the celebration of this feast is the one who first encountered the Risen Christ in the early hours of the Easter Sunday. Whether he is a sinner or the one Jesus expelled with seven demons or not, I believe will not matter with her after the centuries that elapse that had thought as such. What is important, I believe, is that sinners we may be, we have to come to Jesus to implore His divine mercy and received salvation and like Mary proclaimed to the world God's continuous saving act here and now. Through the invitation of Rev. Fr. Jun Olaso, the parish priest of St....
