After making a widget for Pontifex , Pope Francis twitter account, I decided to visit my own twitter account. I have discovered that the privacy setting was in private which is the reason that the very purpose of putting the twitter account is to dissiminate my work how little it may be. So that others may also learn from it, in some way or another.  It is also inspiring to see that even a private setting could generate 145 followers with additional 42 following which is still pending for approval. As well as tweet from a follower who says: that my blog, this blog is informative and inspiring. At least I have some feedback. Thank Mei. So, I am putting this widget and to be able to do it, I am changing my settings on privacy from private to public. Tweets by @frjessie

First Friday devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a widespread devotion not only to Philippines but to the whole world for Catholics. There are a lot of request for the First Friday Masses. I would like to fill up the needs but I could not find priests to celebrate mass with them. I do not have a parochial vicar, commonly known as assistant parish priest.

First Friday is taken as a special day for these people but since the scarcity of prie...

This is a repost. This is a good news , a good story, a personal expereince of a reporter meeting the Pope PDI reporter teary in Rome for losing bag, meeting Pope By Juliet Labog-Javellana Inquirer Last updated 03:42am (Mla time) 06/10/2007 VATICAN CITY—Meeting the Pope was an experience next to none. Coming as it did the day after I was robbed of my belongings, the opportunity to meet Pope Benedict XVI in his private library could not have come at a better time. While being led to the high-security Apostolic Palace past the Vatican Gardens at the back of St. Peter’s Basilica and up to the papal residence by elevator, I already got goose bumps. Even the air smelled holy. The moment I was called to approach the Pope as he stood in the reception hall of his magnificent library, I felt my knees tremble. And when the Holy Father looked down at me, smiled and extended his hands in welcome, I completely broke do...

I was been infuriated early this morning when I received the water bill, The bill states an amount beyond my capacity and understanding . I immediately asked my companions to check all the valves and faucets. Since I have arrived here, I have been trying hard to be frugal in the use of electricity and water to conserve enough for some repairs. And after being careful on using unnecessary energy consuming gadgets like aircon, I was devastated with this news. It has weakened my spirit. I just asked the Lord for more patience. Some of my boys here are not not taking care of water faucet properly. Even if they are not the one who caused it because some parishioners do not know how to close what they have opened. I instructed them to check all valves every day and night. T he Pangmasang Pagamutan ng Laguna situated in Maitim, Bay, Laguna invited me to celebrate Mass today on the occasion of their eighteen (18) years of existence. The hospital is the fourth largest of the eight hospi...
