ps. how is your day? kumusta man ka uy! what's new?

Quote from: islander on August 31, 2012, 01:54:42 PM
just fine, thanks lorenz.  unlike you who's on an exciting time of life (creating a career, pursuing a degree), mine i can say is already made, and that's staying at home.  it has its moments, but when i start feeling some bodily pain here and there, i simply tell myself that gone are the days when i can run more than a kilometer in high heels because there's trouble in the streets during a coup d'etat.

isles, the beauty that i have learned from you-- and i've learned a lot from you from interacting with you these some 3 years -- is the inspiration i have gotten from your merciful nature to those who cannot help themselves. i can remember the times when i would sit back and read tb , some passage you would share with us on the kind of animals you saved in manila, your experiences with vaccinating your cats, and your dogs, adopting cats, dogs, helping that one homeless person in manila whose pet was named puppy. tell you the truth, i cried when i read your postings on how you were affected by the disappearance of that dog named puppy. sakitan pod ahoang dughan. its quite beautiful, isles, to know that in the end and in the greater scheme of things, how we help those around us and share and perform acts of mercies -- is what really counts. it is the epitome of the act of charity, to which we all are called to. for we are all told, "be perferct like your Father who is perfect.." (matthew 5:48).

you make me smile, isles. just to let you know.

ps. there is nothing special about what i do. i day dream at work ..and think about joining the priesthood. i admit that. that's our little secret here in tb. i have not told my parents this.

So speak and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

James 2:12-13

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

James 3:17

“She shook off the self-recrimination. What-ifs and could-have-beens were not the way to move forward. She knew that from experience.”

― Judi Fennell, In Over Her Head

“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.”

― C. JoyBell C.

“Well, now
If little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you
Little by little
If suddenly you forget me
Do not look for me
For I shall already have forgotten you

If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life
And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember
That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms
And my roots will set off to seek another land”



― Pablo Neruda, Selected Poems

Tita Sol,

Kummusta man ka? I hope your week is going well, by God's Grace. Warm regards diha!

Thank you isles for bringing our attention and for starting the prayer circle here in tubag bohol. God Bless you, Isles.

Isles, so how was your week?

One of my favorite parables.

The beauty of thankful eyes.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Matthew 5:7

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.

Cuantas veces soñamos despiertos
En un amor que termino en el silencio
Las flores de mi jardín en invierno
Floreceran por que tu amor fue sincero

Te conformabas con tan solo una mirada
Una sonrisa un gesto sin palabras

Vi mil Ángeles contigo en el cielo
Y mi voz que susurra en tu sueño
Los caminos se uniran en el tiempo
Es un amor que siempre sera eterno (bis)

Hoy el destino que nos separa
Que es el mismo que nos une en el alma
Que pena nunca pude ver tu mirada
Tus sueños se fueron con el alma

Te conformabas con tan solo una mirada
Una sonrisa un gesto sin palabras

Vi mil Ángeles contigo en el cielo
Y mi voz que susurra en tu sueño
Los caminos se uniran en el tiempo
Es un amor que siempre sera eterno (bis)

isles, thanks for sharing this cute romantic song.

I join my prayers with all the prayer warriors here in TB for a speedy lifting of the storms. God Bless all the people in Louisiana , and may God continue to protect our TB family member , si Father Roel.

May God Bless and Protect all of us. Amen.

The Adam of the human race was the first sperm. The Eve of the human race was the first egg. From these, came forth the continuum of Mankind.

How great is God who breathed Life into lifeless clay.

Quote from: fdaray on August 29, 2012, 11:24:54 PM
The first living things are the cells, not that when the sperm and egg meets, that  is the start of life. The sperm and the eggs has life already. Once the eggs and the sperms do not meet, they die.

That's precisely correct, Mr. Daray. I would like to add to your post by saying that the these gametic cells , the sperm and egg, are unique to the rest of the somatic cells in the body. The somatic cells contain within them 23 pairs of chromosomes (in total 46 chromosomes), whereas the gametic cells, which are sex cells, only contain 23 chromosomes in total.

The reason for this is because these gametic cells are literally haploid copies, they require their union with the opposite sex cell in order to become a diploid -- containing 23 pairs.

Isn't it beautiful and marvelous how God differentiates these gametic cells from the somatic ones? The foundation of life depends on these gametic cells and their reproduction.

Am praying right now for your safety, Father Roel.

Isles, i just read your post now. Sige, let us pray:



Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give Your Angels and Saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones.
And all for Your love's sake. Amen

It's only the beginning now
...a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps
...sometimes we walk alone

The best beginnings of our lives
May sometimes end in sorrow
But even on our darkest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.

So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring
And look beyond the winter chill
To smell the breath of spring.

Into each life will always come
A time to start anew
A new beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.

Although the cares of life are great
And hands are bowed so low
The storms of life will leave behind
The wonder of a rainbow.

The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew
It's only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.

THE CATECHISM OF THE ONE, HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c3a2.htm

Lastly, I would entice others to read what the Catechism of the One, Holy Roman Catholic Church teaches -- and instructs astutely regarding the concept of Christian Holiness:



2012 "We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him . . . For those whom he fore knew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified."64

2013 "All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity."65 All are called to holiness: "Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."66

    In order to reach this perfection the faithful should use the strength dealt out to them by Christ's gift, so that . . . doing the will of the Father in everything, they may wholeheartedly devote themselves to the glory of God and to the service of their neighbor. Thus the holiness of the People of God will grow in fruitful abundance, as is clearly shown in the history of the Church through the lives of so many saints.67

Quote from: tagalomanoy on August 28, 2012, 07:08:33 PM
Dili sa buhat kun dili sa grasya nga gihatag ni Kristo pinaagi sa iyang pag-antus ug kamatayun didtosa Krus. Kun pinaagi pa ug buhat, ipanghambog unta sa naluwas ang ilang kaluwasan.  Gawas pa, wala jud untay maluwas kay pulos man makasasala ang tanan

Let us study the concept of salvation in context to Church Teachings regarding Justification, and Grace.

I draw reference from the Catechism of the One, Holy Roman Catholic Church:




1993 Justification establishes cooperation between God's grace and man's freedom. On man's part it is expressed by the assent of faith to the Word of God, which invites him to conversion, and in the cooperation of charity with the prompting of the Holy Spirit who precedes and preserves his assent:

    When God touches man's heart through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, man himself is not inactive while receiving that inspiration, since he could reject it; and yet, without God's grace, he cannot by his own free will move himself toward justice in God's sight.42

1994 Justification is the most excellent work of God's love made manifest in Christ Jesus and granted by the Holy Spirit. It is the opinion of St. Augustine that "the justification of the wicked is a greater work than the creation of heaven and earth," because "heaven and earth will pass away but the salvation and justification of the elect . . . will not pass away."43 He holds also that the justification of sinners surpasses the creation of the angels in justice, in that it bears witness to a greater mercy.

2000 Sanctifying grace is an habitual gift, a stable and supernatural disposition that perfects the soul itself to enable it to live with God, to act by his love. Habitual grace, the permanent disposition to live and act in keeping with God's call, is distinguished from actual graces which refer to God's interventions, whether at the beginning of conversion or in the course of the work of sanctification.

2001 The preparation of man for the reception of grace is already a work of grace. This latter is needed to arouse and sustain our collaboration in justification through faith, and in sanctification through charity. God brings to completion in us what he has begun, "since he who completes his work by cooperating with our will began by working so that we might will it:"50

    Indeed we also work, but we are only collaborating with God who works, for his mercy has gone before us. It has gone before us so that we may be healed, and follows us so that once healed, we may be given life; it goes before us so that we may be called, and follows us so that we may be glorified; it goes before us so that we may live devoutly, and follows us so that we may always live with God: for without him we can do nothing.51

I just got back from driving around to drop off some material at the clinic. Stopped by Subway to have lunch. Now back doing paper work and prepping for the evening material.

To Father Roel, do take care and safe save over there. I'll be praying for you.

To Isles, its good to know that you're doing good there in Manila. God bless your kind heart, Isles, you're kindness to the animals reminds me of the life of St. Francis of Assisi.

Regards to everyone else !

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Psalm 103:8-12



Image from the parable of the prodigal son and the father. This parable illustrates to us the Mercy and Love of God the Father towards a sinner...

...that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.


1 Corinthians 12:25-26

“Love sought is good,
but giv’n unsought is better.”

~ William Shakespeare

“You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
smarter than you think,
and loved more than you know.”

~ Christopher Robin (Winnie-the-Pooh)

Tranquility Base here.
The Eagle has landed.”

“The art of life isn’t controlling what happens,
which is impossible;
it’s using what happens.”

Act of Contrition


            O my God, I am heartily sorry for
            having offended you, and I detest
            all my sins, because of Your just
            punishments, but most of all because
            they offend You, my God, who are
            all-good and deserving of all my love.
            I firmly resolve, with the help of
            Your grace, to sin no more and to
            avoid the near occasion of sin.
             Amen
 

Blessed Virgin Mary, the one who unties the knots, in marriage, in people and of  nations, I offer you this novena
requesting the follo-wing intentions:

(mention here the favors that you wish to obtain)

The Sign of the Cross
            In the name of the Father, and
            of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

            Amen.

Holy Mary, full of the presence of God, during your life
you accepted with great humility the holy will of the father
and the legacy of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and evil
never dared to entangle you with its confusion. Since then
you have interceded for all of our difficulties as you did
at the wedding feast of Cana. With all simplicity and with
patience, you have given us an example of how to untangle
the knots in our complicated lives. By being our mother
forever you arrange and make clear the path that unites us
to Our Lord.

Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart,
untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive
into your hands (here mention your prayer request) and
deliver us from the chains and confusion that restrain us.
Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession
and by your example, deliver us from evil, and untie the
knots that keep us from being united to God. So that free
of all confusion and error, we may find him in all things,
keep him in our hearts, and serve him always in our
brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us.
Amen.

Meditation for Day 5
Mother, Undoer of Knots, generous and compassionate, I come to You today to once again entrust this knot...in my life to you and to ask the divine wisdom to undo, under the light of the Holy Spirit, this snarl of problems. No one ever saw you angry; to the contrary, your words were so charged with sweetness that the Holy Spirit was manifested on your lips. Take away from me the bitterness, anger and hatred which this knot has caused me. Give me, o dearest Mother, some of the sweetness and wisdom that is all silently reflected in your heart. And just as you were present at Pentecost, ask Jesus to send me a new presence of the Holy Spirit at this moment in my life. Holy Spirit, come upon me!

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.




(Closing Prayer)

Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exists in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life.
You know very well how desperate I am, my pain and how I am bound by these knots.
Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life.
No one, not even the Evil One himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone.
Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot...I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all, You are my hope.
O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution and with Christ the freedom from my chains.
Hear my plea.
Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me

Mary, with God, is powerful.

Thanks be to God! Good to hear that you're recuperating well, Father Roel. He he, when I was at home this weekend, I told my dad that we talk on a regular basis and that your papa was "inspecting the roads" ha ha. Katawa pod si dad and he said to me that your dad was the district engineer kono sa unang panahon.

Ingon pod ko, "Oh, dad, you knew Father Lungay's dad diay?"

Ingon pod si dad, "Your grandfather was good friends with his father." he he he!

Anyways, he told me to tell you kono, "Kummusta Roel!"

This weekend, as my parents dropped me off at Philadelphia International Airport, i said goodbye to my father, mother and brothers. But when i was hugging my mom goodbye, i can't help but cry when i gakus mommy. Mo ingon ra si mommy nako, "we love you, ondoy,...be good and be safe..." i cannot stop the tears from coming down my face.

A mother's love is the purest kind of love. A mother's unconditional love is a glimpse to the kind of Love our Father in Heaven has for us...

Nong Virgil, thank you so much for sharing with us your photography skills and your beautiful trips around Ireland. Even tho I've never been to Ireland , its as if I've been there by looking at your splendid pictures. Salamat Kaayo for sharing your world with all of us here in Tubag Bohol.

The time is 9:29 PM, Central Standard Time (Chicago). I just got back from New Jersey. I left Philadelphia Airport at 5:45 PM and arrived in Chicago at 7:05 PM. It's pouring outside, a total change in weather compared to the sunny weather in New Jersey earlier in the morning.

Enjoying my weekend at home -- here in New Jersey. I flew back home on Thursday evening and arrived home Friday morning. It's good to be with family. I cooked for my mom, dad, and my younger brothers. Cooked shrimps, adobo, and sinigang isda. Spending some time with them before flying back to Chicago tomorrow afternoon.

God is so Good.

I'm praying that all of you here, my Tubag Bohol Family, are doing good as well. I'm praying that all of you are in good health, high spirits, and of sound mind this blessed Sunday. I love you all. May God Bless all of you...I ask and pray in Jesus' Name Amen.

Love,
