OUR PARISH PRIEST

  When the will does not give its assent, even to the most outrageous temptations, there is certainly no sin. #wisdomfrancisdesales   Our Lord Jesus Christ died for love of us, so we should, if required, be prepared to die for Him. Even if we cannot die for love of him, we can at least live for Him alone. #wisdomfrancisdesales   It is a major element of our perfection to put up with our imperfections. #wisdomfrancisdesales   The more real and perfect our trust in God, the more Divine Providence will shine forth on us. #wisdomfrancisdesales   Do not be ashamed to practice the ordinary, necessary actions that bring us to the love of God. #wisdomfrancisdesales ---   When some misfortune strikes, of whatever nature it may be, be assured that, if we love the Lord with all our hearts, all will be converted into good; and later, though you cannot understand where this good comes from, be sure it will most certainly happen. #...

  Why worry about the passing moments of trial in this life? these tribulations last three or four days and are to be followed by so much eternal glory and joy! #wisdomfrancisdesales   Everything that has no bearing on eternity is mere vanity. #wisdomfrancisdesales   God does not measure our perfection by the many things that we do for Him, but by how we do them. #wisdomfrancisdesales   It is a very fine thing to feel ashamed of oneself when one realizes one’s own imprefections and misery, but this feeling must not drag on lest one lose heart. It is necessary to raise the heart to God with a holy confidence, founded not in our strength but in God. #wisdomfrancisdesales   We indeed change, but God never does; He always remains equally good and merciful toward us, whether we are weak and imperfect or perfect and strong. #wisdomfrancisdesales   I always say that our misery is the throne of God’s mercy, and so we must reali...

  In order to know whether a person is truly wise, learned, generous and noble, we must observe whether his abilities tend to humility, modesty and obedience, for in that case they will be truly good. #wisdomfrancisdesales     The distrust that you have of yourself is a good thing, provided it is founded on confidence in God; but if it makes you feel disturbed and uneasy, dismiss it completely as the greatest of all temptations. #wisdomfrancisdesales     As soon as you are conscious of being tempted, follow the example of children when they see a wolf or a bear out in the country… turn to God and implore his mercy and help. This is the remedy Our Lord Himself has taught us: “Be on guard and pray that you may not be put to the test” (Mk 14:38). #wisdomfrancisdesales     If I knew that there was one single spark of affection in my soul that was not of God, in God and for God, I would annihilate it immediately. #wisdomf...

  Pronouncing (the holy name of Jesus) frequently, blessing it and honoring it in this life, we will be found worthy to sing it eternally with the blessed in Heaven. Long live, Jesus Christ!   (devotion to the Blessed Sacrament) protects, fortifies, encourages. In a word, it divinizes our spirit every time that we receive it with true faith, with purity and with devotion.   Let us all place ourselves before the Crucified and say to Him: O splendid Sun of our hearts, You will revive us with the rays of Your goodness. Here we are almost dead before You: we will not move from here until Your heart brings us back to life.   It is a great evil to fail to do good.   The Holy Spirit directs us personally by His inspiration.   That great fear that leads to scruples is not a bad thing for the person who is just distancing himself or herself from sin; it can even be an indication of purity of conscience. However, it is not to be ...

    Ano ang pagkakaiba ng BUNGA ng Espiritu Santo sa mga KALOOB ng Espiritu Santo? Ang mga Kaloob (7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Is. 11: 2-3) ay mga mabubuting katangian na dulot ng Espiritu Santo sa ating kaluluwa (virtues sa Ingles, tulad ng theological virtues na pananampalataya, pag-asa at pag-ibig). Ang mga Bunga   (Gal 5:22-23) naman ay mga mabubuting kilos na nagmumula sa mga Kaloob na ito. Namumunga tayo ng kabutihan dahil Espiritu Santo, sa ating pagkilos at pagsasabuhay ng pananampalataya sa mundo. Nagagawa natin ito dahil sa tulong ng Espiritu Santo. Ang presensya ng mga Bunga ng Espiritu Santo sa ating buhay ay patunay na nananahan sa atin ang Espiritu ng Diyos. Ayon sa Gal. 5, may 9 na bunga ang Espiritu Santo sa atin: “Subalit ang bunga ng Espiritu ay pag-ibig, kagalakan, kapayapaan, pagtitiyaga, kabaitan, kabutihan, katapatan, 23  kahinahunan, at pagpipigil sa sarili. Walang batas laban sa mga ganito. ” Subalit sa tradisyong Katoli...

P.         Mga kapatid, aminin nating ang ating mga kasalanan upang tayo’y maging marapat sa pagdiriwang ng banal na paghahaing ito.             Sinugong Tagapagpagaling sa mga nagsisisi,             Panginoon, kaawaan mo kami. B.        Panginoon, kaawaan mo kami. P.        Dumating na Tagapag-anyayang mga makasalana’y magsisi,             Kristo, kaawaan mo kami. B.         Kristo, kaawaan mo kami...

  PAKAININ DIN ANG KALULUWA   Napakaraming namamatay sa kanser at sakit ng puso ngayon dahil sa maling kinagawian. Paninigarilyo, sobrang kain, konting exercise ang papatay sa atin. Dahil kulang sa pagpipigil, tayo ang nagdudulot ng paghihirap sa sarili. Ang laki ng negosyo ngayon ng gamot, babasahin sa pagdi-diyeta at sa membership sa mga gym pero kulang pa din ang disiplina ang mga tao.   Sa panahong sobra ang konsumerismo nakalimutan na ang halaga ng espirituwal na pagpipigil ng sarili na importante sa mga relihyon tulad ng Kristiyanismo, Hinduismo, Islam at Budismo. Ang kawalan ng disiplina sa sarili ang dahilan ang madaling pagpanaw sa mundo. Ang mga laging nage-exercise ay mas malaki ang tsansang humaba ang buhay. Ang sobrang pasarap sa sarili at kawalang disiplina naman ang kikitil sa atin. Karamihan sa mga relihyon ay nagtuturo na ang pagpipigil ng sarili sa pagkain at inumin ay mahalaga. Ang fasting o pag-aayuno at ritwal na disiplina sa pa...
