Extinguishing Darkness with the Light of the World
December 16, 2018 ~ St. Peregrine Laziosi Diocesan Shrine/ Jasper Christian Gambito. With the current trends in our society, it is of no wonder that some of our brethren feel hopeless, as if they were being succumbed into a dark abyss. Negativities are teeming around us, thus there are times when we are longing for something which would save us from despair. However, the lesson being taught to us by the dawn masses also being colloquially referred to as Simbang Gabi is to be hopeful for the coming of the Light which will enlighten our gloomy and rather dark paths.
With Eve Comes Death, With Mary Comes Life
St. Peregrine Laziosi Diocesan Shrine/ Jasper Christian Gambito. Today , the Universal Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Blessed Virgin Mary. Blessed Pope Pius IX defined in the Apostolic Constitution ‘Ineffabilis Deus’ that Mary, upon her conception in the womb of her mother St. Anne, was freed from the original sin as she was predestined to become the mother of Jesus Christ.

“Wagas ang Paglilingkod ng Tunay na Umiibig” Jesus, King of the Universe ~ November 24, 2018
Ang pagbabago ay nagsisimula sa sarili at sa bawat tahanan. Ang pagbabago ay makakamtan lamang sa pamamagitan ng pagtutulungan, pagdadamayan at at pakikiisa sa iisang hangarin, ang magkaroon ng panibangong pananaw at ang batayan ay ang Diyos. Kung ang diyos hindi niya...
“Wakas ng Masayang Tinatanaw” 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ November 18, 2018
Tunay na malaki ang pagkakaiba ng negative thinker (pessimist) sa positive thinker (optimist). Sabi ng pessimist, "Madilim pa ang kapaligiran", pero sabi ng optimist, "Nababanaag na nag bukang -liwayway," Sabi pa ng negative thinker, "Ang hirap, lagi na lang umuulan"...
“Service as Career Not Career as Service” 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 21, 2018
The common concept of people in our society today about "service" (paglilingkod), is by way of ruling-over or lording- over the people. For you to serve the needs of other, first, you must acquire a public office - one must get a position in order for him/her to...
“Eternal Life is not Cheap” 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 14, 2018
God in the absolute goodness and the source of all that is good. Our generosity and kindness are nothing compared to His. Only God's Goodness, which is rooted in His love and concretely manifested in Christ, His Son, can lead us to his eternal dwelling. Thus, eternity...
“I’m In Love” 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 06, 2018

“Letting Go….Letting God” 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 30, 2018
Napakahirap ng tinatawag na letting go. Iyon bang aalisin mo sa buhay mo ang isnag bagay na lubhang mahalaga. Masakit para sa isang tao na palayain ang kanyang minamahal. Mahirap ang manakawan o mawalan ng paboritong kagamitan. Napapaiyak ang isang taong umaalis sa...
“Ang Kadakilaan ng mga Maliliit” 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 23, 2018
Magkataliwas ang mga salitang "bata" at "malaki." Kapag nabanggit ang salitang "bata", Kaagad- agad pumapasok sa ating isipan ang kaliitan kapag malaki na ang tao, hindi na siya bata (maliban na lamang sa ilang batang may kakaibang taas o timbang). Sa pangkalahatan,...
“Ang Jesus ng Pananampalataya” 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time- September 16, 2018
Sino si Hesus o ang Diyos para sa ating mga Katoliko? Magkatugma ba ang ating pagkakilala at pagkaunawa sa itinututo sa atin ng ating Simbahan? O baka mayroon tayong kakaibang pagkakilala sa kanya, malayo sa itinuturo sa atin ng ating Pananampalataya? Ano ang mukha...
“Shhh…Listen” 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 09, 2018
I just realized that the words "silent" and "listen" contain the same letters and how those words are very significant to my life and to my prayer life. We are living in a noisy world. From the time we wake up and step out home till we come back, we encounter...
