Shepherds With The Smell of Sheep

  As I tried to reflect on today's Gospel, I remembered one anecdote from my high school days, it was my first year in high school in an all-boys school when we were encouraged to take the sacrament of reconciliation. That was the second time I went to...

Journey with Him

  How is Jesus alive and present among us? Do we burn with love for Him? When have we experienced the strange and wonderful feeling of the burning heart, as we listen to the word of God at the Holy Eucharist or through our own prayers? Today’s beautiful gospel...

Send Off of New Vicariate Volunteer Catechists

April 29, 2017 ~ Cashmare Magboo/ St. Peregrine Laziosi Diocesan Shrine. "Many are called but only few are chosen" the saying goes, and it truly happened in my endeavor as a volunteer catechist. Starting with almost 200 catechists, only 123 have successfully completed...

In Him Alone

Pain is crippling. Fear of what the future holds inhibits one from moving forward. Too much hurt gives a person more reason to rely on his own realities so he can hide and take comfort in his own sorrow. Sometime in the first quarter of this year, I had what I would...

Empty Tomb

God listens. God heals. God forgives.  God answers our prayers. God has His perfect time. As Christians, we all know these realities and we keep holding on to them.  However, do we also believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, has risen from His death?  The tomb was...

The Passion of Christ

Have there been times in our lives we betrayed and denied Jesus, not in the obvious and literal way of Judas, but in our hearts and actions? The gospel passion narrative begins with the plot of Judas Iscariot to betray Jesus and continues through familiar scenes:...

“Hope” – 3rd Sunday in Lent

How do you face the world after committing a mistake or failure? Did you just act like nothing happened? Is it still the same? Do you still face the world head up high? Are you going to isolate yourself from others? Or detain yourself in the mistakes you made? We...

Say No to Temptations – 1st Sunday of Lent

THE JUBILEE PRAYER

           

Father in heaven,

May the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.

May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.

To you, our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise forever. Amen.
