SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS
"...Let us also remember that every day is a battle for us. New challenges and much bigger crosses will come to our life. And when these times come, we may lose our belief in the Lord. But this should not happen. Let us remember that Jesus died on the cross for us – to redeem us from our sins so that we “might not perish but may have eternal life...”
The Golden Cross
Post. Sean Bernard Dijamco Tan
"...Remember that it is important to pay attention, study hard with passion, work with compassion, have a good communication and pray with devotion in order to have a fruitful formation..."
Attention
Post. Jan Harold Mercado Manguera
"...In my life, one characteristic that I should imitate from Mary is her trust and faith to her son that no matter how life difficult is I will still hold on to Christ just like Mary did. I have to completely believe in Christ in times of darkness in life. It is then that I can only understand why I am undergoing such things..."

"...Everything begins with a seed. We all begin as a seed. A seed which has the potential to become a tall evergreen. A beautiful, magnificent towering tree. But often times we thought that our height and strong woods are the only things that matter. We fail to realize that there is another important thing that we must produce. It is to bear a fruit..."
Fruitful Trees
Armando Gabriel Cruz Felix
"...Our world is small when we have enemies. We limit our space to avoid our enemies making us to be a murderer of our relation to the community. This is the reality of having an enemy, it moves like a chain reaction. When we hate a person, we also hate their friends. Our hatred spreads making a plank out of splinter and a candle light to a wild fire..."
Three Things
Dannie Villanueva Bautista
"...Brothers, if we are to know the true meaning of Sabbath, we must start with the Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus Christ. It would be much easier to say, “I just need to take a break once in a while because I’m working too hard.” But to leave it that way would leave us as lords of our own Sabbaths. We only deceive ourselves if we think that we can give ourselves the deep rest that we need simply by pampering our own selves..."
Rest
John Eiron Manansala Saplala
"...Some cactuses require time and effort on my part. Sometimes they seem hopeless despite the effort, but that does not mean I have to give up on them...."
