St. Joseph had so many plans for Mary. He would have wanted to have a grand wedding. Instead, he found out that Mary was already with child! He planned to divorce her quietly. But his plans had to take another turn. God, through an angel told him to marry Mary because she was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit! What? So, he married Mary. He would have wanted Mary to give birth in his

I tremble to think that I have to give an account of my tongue. There is life, but there is also death in the tongue. Sometimes we kill with the tongue: we commit real murders. And we are still to regard that as a small thing? (Diary, 119) A parishioner came crying her heart out. Hers were painful tears brought about by the talks spread by her “sisters” in her group. “I am just doing the work

There was a popular phrase in the the 1990’s and printed in some t-shirts. It is a question that seems to be very simple, and direct to the point. Even for some, probably capturing the whole essence of how one is going to live his Christianity. The phrase is in a question form which goes like this: “What would Jesus do?” Ano ang gagawain kaya ni Jesus? Implying that in a concrete situation, if we

Today, the Parish celebrated the Feast of the Divine Mercy. The activities were celebrated in the afternoon: confessions, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with Benediction, Mass and blessing of the Divine Mercy images and the procession. I saw Sis. Lourdes hurrying towards me at the sacristy after the mass. She was clutching an image of the Divine Mercy. She was with Sis. Teresing of Brgy.

And again, I would like to say three words to the soul that is determined to strive for sanctity and to derive fruit; that is to say, benefit from confession. First word-complete sincerity and openness. Even the holiest and wisest confessor cannot forcibly pour into the soul what he desires if it is not sincere and open. An insincere, secretive soul

It had not been so however yesterday, and the day before yesterday.I believe it is my "Ganglion Cyst".I don't know how suddenly it was so painful to move my hand; much so, carry something. Three nights ago I was working on my computer for about an hour. I felt a little pain in my right wrist after I shut off the computer. I

I received this short "Food for Thought" reflection. It made me smile. And hopeful.There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three strands of hair on her head.Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today?' So she did andshe had a wonderful day.The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two strands of hair on

The week before, I was asked by Sis. Teresing and Sis. Lourdes of Bigbiga if I could anoint somebody in their barangay during the regular mass schedule. I said, "Yes, of course!""Mas mayat no idiay balay ti masakit tayon nga agmisa," I asked in my crooked Ilocano, if it would be better if we could celebrate the mass in the sick's home. They readily and happily agreed to my suggestion.And so we

" ... Immediately the people recognized him." Mk. 6, 54At the height of Typhoon Cosme, as it battered the coastal towns of Pangasinan, a family huddled together, trembling with fear. The mother, however, besides embracing her children to her, was also clutching in her chest the image of the "Divine Mercy".She was praying, "Jesus, I trust in You! Protect us.

"That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick ..." Mk. 1,32That we suffer is a truth we can not deny. It is experienced by all from birth until death. Suffering, however, is not in the original intention of God when He created us. He had willed that we all enjoy eternal happiness with Him.Suffering is a result of sin, man's rebellion against the goodness of God. Evil brings

"They were like sheep without a shepherd." Mt. 6, 34A shepherd does these among other things for his sheep. He feeds them. In doing so, he looks for the best place for his sheep to feed. The shepherd provides for all the things needed by his sheep.The shepherd defends his sheep. He fights for them against the wild animals and thieves who want to harm his sheep.The shepherd looks for his lost

(Mk. 6, 8.12)It was a difficult command. The Lord told his disciples to preach but not to bring anything for their journey. Nothing.But the apostles obeyed the Lord.

"And he marveled because of their unbelief."Mk. 6,6He offered his services to drive us for our regular barangay masses. He would ask the schedule of the masses, and was always there to drive us to the barangay using the ever-reliable red jeepney of the parish.Curious why he was doing this, since he was not known to offer anything before, not even an hour of his time, I asked him, "Akin et mimila

Good Friday.I came from the church after blessing the seven speakers who would be giving their reflections on the "Seven Last Words" of Jesus while He was on the cross. I sat down on one of the pews at the back of the church, listening at the reflection on the first word.I felt the pain in my back becoming more painful.The pain had been with me since morning. It was there but it was not a bother.

The cliche says that we have to give until it hurts!But why not give until it has become a joy to do so?Jesus looked around and saw rich people dropping their gifts in the Temple treasury, and he also saw a very poor widow dropping in two little copper coins. He said, "I tell you that this poor widow put in more than all the others. For the others offered their gifts from what they had to spare

There was an overcast sky when I arrived (together with Bros. Tony, Joey, Ben and his wife, Sis. Lourdes) at the Parish of St. Thomas Aquinas, Mangaldan, Pangasinan, the host for this year's Cristo Rey celebration. We parked at the school grounds. It was around quarter to two in the afternoon.I noticed Tony and Joey brought their umbrellas. I brought mine, too.The procession started on time. With

Sister Naty, an old but still very active woman from Brgy. Anonang, had a happy look on her face. I saw her approaching. Her strides suddenly became livelier."Father, she is now eating!

The Funeral Mass was scheduled at 9 AM. The deceased was a young man. He died suddenly from an accident.I received a call from the parish office a few minutes before the mass.A man was there with a special request."Father, is it possible that before you celebrate the funeral mass, you solemnize first the marriage of N., (the name of the deceased) with his fiancee?"No answer.Persistent request: "

Billboards proclaim so many concerns as well as create so many needs.They compete for our attention. They attract our senses. They let us follow them.Billboards adorn the skies now. They block the otherwise beautiful clouds that decorate the heavens. They hide the endless figures beautifying God's creation.We have so many concerns and needs created by man for man. Many times, they block our view

It is a concrete structure found in main highways and roads, and in all the barangays of the town. The "Waiting Shed" is a familiar structure. Its main purpose is to provide a shelter for the people while waiting for a ride. The most common means of transportation in the barrios is the tricycle. Then, there is the popular jeepney. And lately, the kolig-lig.Bolaoen is one of the thirty-four

And they asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?" And he said, “See that you not be deceived..” (Lk. 21,7-8)“See that you not be deceived..” when man’s dignity is measured by the quality of his life. When man is determined by the kind of life he is living, or even, by the kind of life he will be living. Thus, one's life becomes more

When a wrong is repeatedly done, it somehow becomes tolerable for the many, and for the wrongdoer.When the tolerable action is further repeated, it becomes not only tolerable, it becomes "the normal" action; the wrong has become a "right".When the wrong has become right, eventually it becomes, to our desensitized consciences, the moral standard. The basis for which our succeeding actions are

Once it begins, it goes around, and around. It never stops -- only because it is following a cyclic path."Agko amta no akin et pinatey da may unaan." An authority in the town remarked as he referred to the unkown motive why a murder was committed in the town.San Fabian is a peaceful, rural town. Almost idyllic. It is located along the shores of the famous Lingayen Gulf. It has pristine beaches.

The story is told about a man who was searching for a lost key. He had been at it for quite a while, looking under the bright light of his room. He looked around every nook and corner of the room. Still no key.A friend came."What are you doing?" He asked."I lost my key. It must be here somewhere" He replied.The friend then started to look for the missing key, helping turn over books and papers.

Separation from a beloved is painful. I remember when I entered the Minor Seminary in Binmaley, Pangasinan as a 12 year old boy how painful it was to be separated from my family for the first time. It was a painful ache that longed to be soothed; but it would not go away. There was a melancholic longing for the familiar against the backdrop of the unfamiliar, new surroundings of the
