Handsome Song!

Thanks, Anne, I hope too.

Till then, the next time you are eating Peking Duck, eat my share too. ha ha 

Wishing you a great week.

My Sweet Darling,


You must be strong for the tears that come down my face is shed for you,
in longing and beautiful love for thee.
God Bless that smile on your face, God bless the seeds of your grace,
God bless the passion between us, God bless the love cemented within us.

I look for the day when our hands shall clasp upon each other, when my eyes shall once look deeply into yours.
I look for the day when the warmth of my body shall hover and comfort you as we sleep in gentle peace at night.
I look for the day when I am awakened to your soft kisses, open my eyes and see the face of a heavenly angel.
I look for the day when we will once again trek and visit antique shops; history permeating; art calling.

God Bless the smile on your face,
God bless the seeds of your grace,
Whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope I fall asleep knowing that you will always be the story with no ending.

I hope you know that when I kissed you last, I felt your hand clenched on my back.
Mine clenched around your back. Not letting go.
Our lips clenched for time so long. Unwilling to let go.
I await for your return, my darling woman.

Be comforted. Knowing that you will always be the queen of my heart.
I await for your return.
God Bless the smile on your face.
God Bless the seeds of your grace.



With tears of Joy and Love,
Your Baby Boo.

Thats okay, it seems that you had a really busy schedule as a working mother and family woman. God bless that smile on your face, God bless your family and most of all, the spirit of truth that lives in all of us.

Warm regards from myself.
Lorenzo

Anne, so what did you do to celebrate your birthday? I know you mentioned you were based in PRC, did you go out and order Peking Duck? I hear that is a delicacy in the great land of Zhong Guo.

Cancer, indeed, is one of the leading COD (causes of death) for many Americans and peoples around the world. Effective screening and testing is a great way to serve as prophylaxis and detection of neoplastic growth while it is still benign.


Regards.
Lorenzo.

Love comes to those not expecting it. I did not expect to find love, instead, love found me.

By God's Grace. Amen.

He appoints things to occur and happen in accordance to His Will.

Be Good.

Rest In Peace Mayor Pepita. Condolences and prayers for her family and friends.

Yesterday was wierd yet thrilling. I was at the Starbucks in Montclair ordering my usual: Iced Coffee Grande w/ French Vanilla Cream.

The worker then reached forward and with her fingers, brushed my beard and with her thumb, stroked my mustached upper lip.
Then commented, "How long did it take to grow that?"

Awkward moment.

Must be a beard fanatic. ha.

I woke up after having a conference call with my baby girl. Working on TOI (theories of intelligence): incremental theorists vs entity theorists in relation to performance based on P3 waveforms.
~Quite interesting, aside from the heavy neuroanatomical jargon.

Had a long day yesterday. Read over and reviewed over with colleagues on essential Psychiatry. Work. Off to another day.

I was torn in either proceeding with Engineering or Medicine. But I later chose Medicine.

My father approved of my decision. "We have too many engineers in our family."

He said something that inspired me, "In engineering, you build objects, structures, if it is weak, the engineer orders it to be torn down and rebuilt, or strengthened. If there is a lacking in metal pipes, you order more. If a company of construction workers are not doing their job, you fire them and replace them with newer / more efficient ones."

"But in medicine, life is precious. As a physician, you can do much with one hand. Both professions are noble. Engineering and Medicine. But medicine is unique because you deal with lives. Not materials."

My dream job when I was then a high school student.. "I want to see the world free".... but it was not materialized because of some advises ... instead landed myself in the field of commerce major in Accounting....no regrets. siguro kung natinuod tong damgoha.. basin ako tong kapitan sa Diary ni Ms DB sa naughty joke for the day.......  

Interesting. When I was younger, I wanted to be a Civil Engineer. To command the construction workers what to build, inspect and supervise their work. As a child, I specifically was fascinated in building bridges and highways. Only because my father was a Supervisor / Head Civil Engineer at a construction firm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Everytime he came back home to the Philippines, he would bring with him engineering toys/construction toys for me. My father is always well dressed. Macho kaayo iyang style. When he went to work, he would dress in dark colored khakis, firm fitting polo shirts, and dark black belt. Black crocodile leather shoes.
Styling is quintessential mustache or beard from time to time.

The epitome of a Civil Engineer. The Builder of Societies.

Breakfast: Polboron w/ a nice cup of cold water.
Nothing quite like polboron in your mouth in the morning. lol.
And people ask, "what is that stuff you're eating?"

"For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more"   (Jeremiah 31:34).

When we know the LORD, we receive the forgiveness of sins. We know Him as the God of grace, passing by our transgressions. What a joyful discovery is this!

But how divinely is this promise worded: the LORD promises no more to remember our sins! Can God forget? He says He will, and He means what He says. He will regard us as though we had never sinned. The great atonement so effectually removed all sin that it is to the mind of God no more in existence. The believer is now in Christ Jesus, as accepted as Adam in his innocence; yea, more so, for he wears a divine righteousness, and that of Adam was but human.

The great LORD will not remember our sins so as to punish them, or so as to love us one atom the less because of them. As a debt when paid ceases to be a debt, even so doth the LORD make a complete obliteration of the iniquity of His people.

When we are mourning over our transgressions and shortcomings, and this is our duty as long as we live, let us at the same time rejoice that they will never be mentioned against us. This makes us hate sin. God's free pardon makes us anxious never again to grieve Him by disobedience.

Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.--2 COR. xiii. 11.

He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?--I JOHN iv. 20.

  Lord! subdue our selfish will;
    Each to each our tempers suit,
  By Thy modulating skill,
    Heart to heart, as lute to lute.
C. WESLEY.

It requires far more of the constraining love of Christ to love our cousins and neighbors as members of the heavenly family, than to feel the heart warm to our suffering brethren in Tuscany or Madeira. To love the whole Church is one thing; to love--that is, to delight in the graces and veil the defects--of the person who misunderstood me and opposed my plans yesterday, whose peculiar infirmities grate on my most sensitive feelings, or whose natural faults are precisely those from which my natural character most revolts, is quite another.
ELIZABETH CHARLES.

Psalm 22:14
My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.



Our blessed Lord experienced a terrible sinking and melting of soul. "The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear?" Deep depression of spirit is the most grievous of all trials; all besides is as nothing. Well might the suffering Saviour cry to His God, "Be not far from me," for above all other seasons a man needs his God when his heart is melted within him because of heaviness. Believer, come near the cross this morning, and humbly adore the King of glory as having once been brought far lower, in mental distress and inward anguish, than any one among us; and mark His fitness to become a faithful High Priest, who can be touched with a feeling of our infirmities. Especially let those of us whose sadness springs directly from the withdrawal of a present sense of our Father's love, enter into near and intimate communion with Jesus. Let us not give way to despair, since through this dark room the Master has passed before us. Our souls may sometimes long and faint, and thirst even to anguish, to behold the light of the Lord's countenance: at such times let us stay ourselves with the sweet fact of the sympathy of our great High Priest. Our drops of sorrow may well be forgotten in the ocean of His griefs; but how high ought our love to rise! Come in, O strong and deep love of Jesus, like the sea at the flood in spring tides, cover all my powers, drown all my sins, wash out all my cares, lift up my earth-bound soul, and float it right up to my Lord's feet, and there let me lie, a poor broken shell, washed up by His love, having no virtue or value; and only venturing to whisper to Him that if He will put His ear to me, He will hear within my heart faint echoes of the vast waves of His own love which have brought me where it is my delight to lie, even at His feet for ever.

Luke 11:1-4

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

He said to them, "When you pray, say:

'Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.' "

Our Father, which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Our Father, which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name

Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

Our Father, which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Hallowed be Thy name

Our father, which art in heaven
Our father
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors

And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us, deliver us from evil

For Thine is the kingdom, and all the power
And the glory forever, amen

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Stanza 1:

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder

Consider all

The works Thy Hand hath made,

I see the stars,

I hear the mighty thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout

The universe displayed;

Stanza 2:

When through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down

From lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook

And feel the gentle breeze;

Refrain:

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Stanza 3:

When Christ shall come,

With shouts of acclamation,

And take me home,

What joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow

In humble adoration

And there proclaim,

"My God, how great Thou art!"

Refrain:

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,

Sing With Me, brothers and sisters!
Sing to the Throne of Divine Mercy!
Sing with all your heart and all your mind!

Tito, advanced congratulations to your beloved son for acceptance into college.
What will he be studying?

Kindly remind him to devote studies with a perfect understanding and study of the Word of God.
Who fills in any human misunderstanding, and perfects the mind.
Confidence in the Word of God and in His Promise can enable a man of God to move mountains.
God Bless his studies and his goals.
From the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, may his paths always be straight. And perfected in the Power of God's Divine Power. In Christ, all things are possible. All Things.

Oh indeed, Tito. I was just walking through the streets of Montclair, NJ. There I spend most of my time studying at the Starbucks and at the local Barnes and Noble Book Store. The weather has been exceptionally sunny and cool. The trees are blooming, the petals and buds are exquisite to the eyes.

Everything is just so beautiful. I feel blessed. I am blessed.

Springtime is a reminder for all of us that the deep sleep of winter has passed; and that life has come back again.

A literal reminder for all of us of the message of Easter. That there is no permanence in death. There is life after death; God reminds us every year when the leaves grow again, when the flowers begin to bloom again, when the birds return from their migration.


Regards to your family, Tito.
Extend my love to them. And to you.



Always,
Bran.

Ah the blessing of Family.

How is Grandfatherhood ?


Regards.

Stay level headed, everyone. Easter just passed. Let us love one another, forgiving one another despite each of our individual failings and weaknesses.

Saonz di man jud nato masuta kinsay mga sinuhulan sa politika deri o kinsa tong mga innocent bystanders (who stand for what is right). Let's give each one the benefit of the doubt.

Father is correct.

To all: Calma te. Calma te.

Holy Spirit, powerful Consoler, sacred Bond of the Father and the Son, Hope of the afflicted, descend into my heart and establish in it your loving dominion. Enkindle in my tepid soul the fire of your Love so that I may be wholly subject to you. We believe that when you dwell in us, you also prepare a dwelling for the Father and the Son. Deign, therefore, to come to me, Consoler of abandoned souls, and Protector of the needy. Help the afflicted, strengthen the weak, and support the wavering. Come and purify me. Let no evil desire take possession of me. You love the humble and resist the proud. Come to me, glory of the living, and hope of the dying. Lead me by your grace that I may always be pleasing to you. Amen.

Consecration To The Holy Spirit




O Holy Ghost, divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate to Thee my intellect, my heart, my will and my whole being for time and for eternity.

May my intellect be ever docile to Thy heavenly inspirations and to the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church of which Thou art the infallible Guide. May my heart be ever inflamed with the love of God and my neighbour; may my will be ever in conformity with the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to whom, with the Father and thee, Holy Spirit, be honour and glory for ever. Amen.

I believe in the Most Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three persons, one God. I believe that I must love you my God with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul and with all my strength , I believe that I must love my neighbour as myself and that I must forgive him. I believe in the ten commandments, I believe in the Holy Scriptures. I believe in you Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Son of the Living God, my God, my Saviour, my Redeemer. I believe that you are the Word of God, who is eternally present with the Father, I believe that you came to the world and became flesh through the Blessed Virgin Mary and that you were conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe in your Word, I believe in the power of your Gospel, I believe that your words are words of everlasting life. I believe that your Word opens the Kingdom of Heaven in all hearts. I believe that you are the Light of the world and the Way to follow, you are the truth and you are the Life. I believe that every word of your gospel is for me and that I can be moulded by it if I accept it with my heart. I believe that if I keep your Word I will have eternal life, that you and your Father will love me and that you will reveal yourself to me and make a dwelling in me because I am a temple of your Spirit. I believe that if I keep your word , you will accompany me with signs and wonders because you have said so, and that I can do the same things you did because this is your Will.
I believe that you are my personal Saviour and Lord and that you died personally for my sins suffering the greatest torments, I believe that you took upon your crucified body all the sins of humanity, past, present and future and that by your wounds we are healed, by your death we have life, and by your resurrection we live eternally. I believe in your Mercy which is unfathomable, I believe that you drew all humanity to yourself on the cross and that I must come to you to offer the Heavenly Father your sacrifice as the atonement for all sins. I believe in your healing power which is the power of the Resurrection. I believe that after your death you rose again and that you ascended to the Father to intercede for us and to prepare a place for our souls. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father and your Spirit whom you sent on Pentecost to unite us in your mystical body as the Church, I believe that you baptize us with the fire of your Holy Spirit which makes us new creations, true children of God. I believe in the Holy Catholic Church and all its teachings, I believe that the Sacraments are encounters with you and I believe in the infinite power of the Holy Mass which is the unbloody reenactment of your sacrifice in Calvary. I believe that your Will is that we become saints for our Salvation and for your Glory. I believe in the purity and holiness of the Blessed Virgin Mary your Mother, I believe that you have raised Her above all creation, I believe that She is our Mother and that She has great power of intercession to help us and that She has great power over the devil to protect us. I believe in the power of intercession of the saints and I pray that you increase our faith, our trust in you and our charity.

Veni, Creator (hymn)




Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest (Veni, Creator)
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
And in our souls take up your rest;
Come with your grace and heavenly aid
To fill the hearts which you have made.

O Comforter, to you we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above.

You in your sevenfold gifts are known;
You, finger of God's hand we own;
You, promise of the Father, you
Who do the tongue with power imbue.

Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high
The weakness of our flesh supply.

Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us your peace instead;
So shall we not, with you for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside.

Oh, may your grace on us bestow
The Father and the Son to know;
And you, through endless times confessed,
Of both the eternal Spirit blest.

Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
With you, O holy Comforter,
Henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.

Amen.



(prayer by: St. Augustine of Hippo)

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me -- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Why women hoard bras
Fri Apr 09 2010

Lisa Wright Staff Reporter

When times are tough, people scrimp and save. But what’s with all the bras stacked up across the pond?

A new survey has revealed that British women own a staggering 124 million bras — enough to stretch nearly three times around the world.

The survey, by market researchers onepoll.com, polled 3,000 women aged 18 to 65. It found that the typical female owns 13 bras but wears only eight of them regularly.

“Most women have a bra for each outfit or occasion, but many get condemned to life in a drawer” after one or two wears, says a website spokeswoman.

At an average cost of 28 British pounds, that means 3.47 billion pounds — $5.32 billion — of bras never see the light of day, the survey indicates.

Bra hoarding sounds a little odd but it isn’t at all shocking to Liliana Mann, a lifelong lover of lingerie who has kept abreast of the undergarment-wearing trends of women for decades.

Toronto’s resident `boob expert’ says it’s not just Brits who hoard their bras, noting that most women in developed countries do so, particularly in recessionary times.

“It’s an easy pick-me-up and the least expensive luxury for women,” says Mann, who runs four Linea Intima lingerie shops in Toronto. “You may not be able to afford a car or a vacation right now, but you can create a fantasy at home.

“It’s a hard item to resist,” continues Mann, whose stylish and sexy bras run from $60 to $250. “Women usually say they’re shopping for two or three but end up buying five, even now.”

Mann’s 25-year-old business has not sagged but instead has held steady in this recession, to the point where she was able to open up her fifth location in London, Ont. in 2008, “right when all hell broke loose” in the economy. Mann also just put the finishing touches on a renovation to her Bayview Village location to make it look more like a boudoir.

BRA HOARDING also relates to the very practical nature of the fairer sex, whose favourite bras worn in regular rotation still tend to be nude, black and white to match most clothing.

“Women especially don’t like to give up their things, even when they’re old or falling apart or don’t fit anymore, because we always think we can use them again down the road,” says Mann. “And a bra is such a small item that it doesn’t take up hardly any space so it’s easy just to leave them in a drawer.”

She’s not surprised that the poll also revealed 42 per cent of women have never been properly measured for a bra, while many had no idea what their correct size was.

She offers customers professional bra fittings on site and claims to be able to tell in a matter of seconds whether a woman is wearing the right bra for her figure.

“Our breasts have different sizes, shapes and weights. Some women are heavier or have sloped shoulders... That’s really why I’m on a mission here, because it has an effect on your well-being and your self-confidence when you look better, and it all starts under your clothes.”

She never recommends going bra-less after puberty. “It’s okay if you’re in the south of France, or if you’re at home engaging in some hanky-panky. Otherwise, I don’t think so.”

Since the survey relates to women in England, Mann says she suspects a couple of the royals have a few extra bras lying around. They could clearly use some help getting strapped into a proper one, she adds.

“I would love to do a fitting with the Queen of England and Camilla Parker Bowles (Duchess of Cornwall). It’s a shame because they shop at Harrods and Rigby & Peller, which are great, but because they’re royalty, they’re probably being told what they want to hear.

“I tell it like it is because once you find a good bra you never go back. It can make you look up to 10 pounds lighter and 20 years younger.”

Mann would like to help two Americans in particular, Meg Ryan and Laura Bush, noting the former first lady “always has nice lipstick and hair and clothes but her breasts are hanging down around her waist.”

A rule of thumb when you’re unsure is to go for a smaller width and possibly a bigger cup, she tells us. For instance a lot of the women who think they are 34B are often 32C, but they don’t account for the give in elasticity from both washing and wearing.

She equates new bras to new shoes. “A bit tight is better than too wide because they will conform to your shape.”

Imagine all the bras  one woman has. Now multiply that amount by a factor of X.

Interesting article. Good to read.

Variety, they say, is a spice of life.

Here are some snapshots taken during my two kids' vacation in Japan (FB friends, sensya na for the redundant post). Despite the erratic weather, the cherry blossoms are brightening up the surroundings on schedule. But such a glorious sight is expected to be around for only two weeks. That's why the Japanese invariably wax poetic over sakura. The best things in life are ephemeral--so breathe them in, relish those moments, seize the here and now! This moment is the only certainty we have of joy!


The family--sans Sarah who's temporarily with her auntie in Bohol--greets the first buds of sakura at the Kasimagaura Lake Park in Tsuchiura City, about 80 km from Tokyo.

I would like to Share information that would of help to a lot of us!
So People would be aware about Cancer.

I just came from my kidney operation due Cancer Stage 1-2.
Last March 4, My right Kidney was removed due to Cancer Stage1-2. I was discharged last March 8, 2010.
It's one month ago from that Cancer Operation Experience.

It was by accident that i discover that i have a Cancer Stage 1-2 after i encounter severe stomach gas pain several times last yr., I talked to a friend who is a Doctor regarding my case and he told to visit his Clinic. To cut the long story short, After i showed him the result of my Laboratory test, My Doctor instructed me to undergo CT-Scan to make it clear about he saw in my Laboratory result. When I got the result of the CT-Scan, The Doctor found a Stone on my Gallbladder which causes the Gas Pain and the Tumor on my right kidney which is was a Cancer on stage 1-2.

I never experience any symptom about the Cancer on my Right Kidney. Had it not been due to the Stone on my Gallbladder, The Cancer which is on Stage 1-2 will never be Discovered. It was a Blessing that i discover it on a very early stage. If you want to see my Picture on my Kidney Operation, Just click my Facebook Account:
http://www.facebook.com/jbond168?ref=profile

Anyway, What i would like to share here is, Cancer could only be notified when it is already on higher stage, Like Stage 4, where in it's almost hopeless case.

What i discover after my operation was a lot of information about Cancer Prevention. This is what i would like to share in the hope of helping a lot of people NOT to be a victim of Cancer.

Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.

To the fairest woman to whom my eyes have seen~

The light soft touch of your skin and warmth of fingertips that brushes upon my bearded face,
is equivalent to the warming radiance of the equatorial sun on the baking earth on the peak of summer.
Your eyes, your beautiful and unquenchable light brown eyes, which pierces deep into my heart, and my soul, can fill the void of my loneliness and can ignite the fire that is within the body of this man.

The touch of your soft sweet lips upon the bosom of my mouth, softly, as the passion awakens man and woman.
Deign I ask for your continued attention, and your continued passion.
Only because yours truly gives it unendingly to you, the sole attention of my adoration and warmest love.
Sweet majesty that culminates on lovers' lips has extolled itself within the bosom of my entire being, as I sit in contemplation.

There on the steps by Bloomfield Library, or to the Antique shops by Montclair, or to the Greek reverie that we so traversed, or in Anthropologie by the gates of Amanti Vino by our corner on the trees under the glimmering sun, by the blooming trees on that quiet rapturous April Day.

Come back soon, my sweet love, for I have already begun to miss you.
I close my eyes and there you are again.

Pray, I ask the Lord for your swift return.


With a Love Most Pure,
A. Lorenzo L.



PS. I kiss you ever so soon, and I await for that next kiss....

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No .
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Passion Pit - Smile Upon Me

"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."
- Galatians 3:24

this is the room where we always dreamed
of grass and splendid evenings
emitting frequencies, lost between the
leaves and things
and i held on brightly, crushing quietly
feeling mountains rising out of
make-believe seas, creating typhoons
of feelings not easily made without need

god bless that smile on your face
god bless the seeds in the ground
god bless my family's keen gaze,
oh, i know
that whatever happens to you,
whatever happens to me,
i hope that i'll fall asleep
knowing that you'll always be
the story with no ending

the whole slew blossomed beautifully,
and i was beside myself
so i gave into your love
as you rapture asleep, upended(?)
and this is like i have always dreamed:
cobblestone and dusty feet
that's the way it should always be
head over heels and deftly
wonderful and healthy

god bless that smile on your face
god bless the seeds in the ground
god bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
i know that whatever happens to you,
whatever happens to me,
i hope that i'll fall asleep
knowing that you'll always be
the story with no ending

i never thought you were here
you've never left me, have you?
you've never left me at all--not once, and i'm sorry i'm such a bore(?)
i'm sorry i am so hard
i swear to god, i'll be good
from now on, and

god bless that smile on your face
god bless the seeds in the ground
god bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
i know that whatever happens to you,
whatever happens to me,
i hope that i'll fall asleep
knowing that you'll always be
the story with no ending

For you baby. I love you.

Eternity - Jay Sean (with lyrics)

 Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us in 203-213:
~~

203
God revealed himself to his people Israel by making his name known to them. A name expresses a person's essence and identity and the meaning of this person's life. God has a name; he is not an anonymous force. To disclose one's name is to make oneself known to others; in a way it is to hand oneself over by becoming accessible, capable of being known more intimately and addressed personally.



206
In revealing his mysterious name, YHWH ("I AM HE WHO IS", "I AM WHO AM" or "I AM WHO I AM"), God says who he is and by what name he is to be called. This divine name is mysterious just as God is mystery. It is at once a name revealed and something like the refusal of a name, and hence it better expresses God as what he is - infinitely above everything that we can understand or say: he is the "hidden God", his name is ineffable, and he is the God who makes himself close to men.


207
God, who reveals his name as "I AM", reveals himself as the God who is always there, present to his people in order to save them.


210
After Israel's sin, when the people had turned away from God to worship the golden calf, God hears Moses' prayer of intercession and agrees to walk in the midst of an unfaithful people, thus demonstrating his love. When Moses asks to see his glory, God responds "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name 'the LORD' [YHWH]." Then the LORD passes before Moses and proclaims, "YHWH, YHWH, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness"; Moses then confesses that the LORD is a forgiving God.


211
The divine name, "I Am" or "He Is", expresses God's faithfulness: despite the faithlessness of men's sin and the punishment it deserves, he keeps "steadfast love for thousands"... By giving his life to free us from sin, Jesus reveals that he himself bears the divine name: "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will realize that "I AM"."


212
"...In God "there is no variation or shadow due to change."..."


213
The revelation of the ineffable name "I AM WHO AM" contains then the truth that God alone IS. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and following it the Church's tradition, understood the divine name in this sense: God is the fullness of Being and of every perfection, without origin and without end. All creatures receive all that they are and have from him; but he alone is his very being, and he is of himself everything that he is.

ha ha ha!

Thanks, Vince. You too brother! Have a Blessed Happy Easter. From my family to your family.

Peace and Blessings!

Inside st. joseph cathedral
st. joseph cathedral of tagbilaran city

When I was 5 years old, I followed my Nanay Milie to this cathedral by myself riding a pedicap. It was my first 'task adventure' in my life, but I followed her because every morning, she would visit this cathedral and go to the chapel and pray. One day, I decided to follow her.

Taking 5 pesos with me, and with my blue chinelas, clothed only with my pajamas, I called for a pedicap driver and told him to follow the pedicap that my Nanay Milie was riding to St. Joseph's Cathedral.

Naka hindumdum pood ko karon. That was over 19 years ago.

Jay Sean "Eternity"(album "All Or Nothing") with lyrics

We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart

Invitation only, grant farewells
Crush the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart

And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well

You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around in the highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart

A brother asked, " What is the importance of Easter? "


Dear brother, Easter represents the rise of Christ Jesus from the dead. And His glorious resurrection.

Please read the following (and you are also encouraged to read further):

Mark 16:1-8
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "

Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.


~~


Matthew 27:50-53
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.


~

I also recommend you read: Philippians Chapter 3, Luke Chapter 24, John Chapter 20.

Happy Easter!

Another version of this exceptional Church Hymn.

Ubi Caritas

The lyrics for those who liked the song as posted above:

I love the mountains
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world [Les Stroud]
And all its sights and sounds
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da
I love the oceans
I love real dirty things [Mike Rowe]
I love to go fast
I love Egyptian kings
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da [Richard Machowicz]
I love tornadoes [Joshua Wurman]
I love arachnids [Bear Grylls]
I love hot magma
I love the giant squids
I love the whole world
It's such a brilliant place
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da [Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage]
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da [Stephen Hawking]
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da
Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da

thank you also brod to be with you in this thread/ topic...

God Bless you brod. Sige, advanced Happy Easter!

May our sister in Christ who has gone before us to her eternal rest,
be at peace, at at rest.
May she be welcomed into the bosom of the Just Judge and Loving Savior, JESUS CHRIST.

Who will wipe away all tears. And all pain.
May our sister sing the Eternal Praises forever and ever.
In union with all the angels, saints and the elect who have gone before us in their eternal rest.

God, in His ever compassionate mercy, hear our prayers.

This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

We beseech Thee, O Lord,
in Thy mercy,
to have pity on the soul of Thy handmaid;
do Thou, Who hast freed her
from the perils of this mortal life,
restore to her the portion of everlasting salvation.
Through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

The message of Pope John Paul II resounds, "GO OUT AND EVANGELIZE!"

I would also like to welcome our brother from Davao who is a son of Bohol-by-blood. Aquarius. Good to have you here, bro.

Quote from: statesville on April 02, 2010, 03:47:06 AM
Absolutely wrong! He is  the Potter, I am the clay....

The Lord Jesus Christ is the creator of all things, He is my God, my Savior
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
   of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under
   the earth."
"And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
   is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:10,11 KJV)

As the song goes;
       Have Thy Own Way Lord

    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
      Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
      Mold me and make me after Thy will,
      While I am waiting, yielded and still.

    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
      Search me and try me, Master, today!
      Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
      As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
      Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
      Power, all power, surely is Thine!
      Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.

    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
      Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
      Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
      Christ only, always, living in me.

I love this message so much. And i will place it up again because I believe all who come to this thread should read its message.

Amen, sister.

The first stanza of this song is saying, "Where there is Love, where there is Charity, there is GOD."

Beautiful song. This was sung in today's Catholic Mass for Holy Thursday celebrated at Our Lady of Peace Parish Church.

Absolutely beautiful and powerful evening mass.



GLORIA ET EXCELSIS DEO.

Quote from: aquarius on April 01, 2010, 08:43:51 PM


thanks for posting this song... a song that is worth for reflection especially during this time of  "lenten season".. I can't forget this song this is one of my favorites when I was then a member of "St John the Baptist choir" in our parish in my hometown in Diatagon, Lianga, Surigao del Sur wayback early 1990's.... we use to prepare songs for the scheduled mass based on readings... it gives me a recollection of the past.... Thank you Fr.

I am glad that this song has touched your heart, brother.

Happy Holy Thursday. And A Blessed Easter to you and your entire family.

The Love of God be with you.


A brother in Christ.

Good Evening Brothers and Sisters.
Please Join me in this prayer.


~~
God our Father,
we are gathered here to share in the supper
which your only Son left to his Church to reveal his love.
He gave it to us when he was about to die
and commanded us to celebrate it as the new and eternal sacrifice.
We pray that in the Eucharist
we may find the fullness of love and life.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit
one God, for ever and ever.


~~

Reflection:
The Father anointed Christ with the Holy Spirit
to proclaim forgiveness to those in bondage.

Let us humbly call upon the eternal priest:
Lord, have mercy on us.

You went up to Jerusalem to suffer and so enter into your glory,
- bring your Church to the Passover feast of heaven.

You were lifted high on the cross and pierced by the soldier's lance,
- heal our wounds.

You made the cross the tree of life,
- give its fruit to those reborn in baptism.

On the cross you forgave the repentant thief,
- forgive us our sins.

~~
Loving Provider,
you gather me in this upper room with your son,
to be fed by your love.
At that supper, Jesus told us to "love one another"
and I know that is the heart of his gift,
his sacrifice for me.
I ask that I might find the source of my own heart,
the meaning for my own life,
in that Eucharist.
Guide me to the fullness of your love and life.

~~
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

Ubi Caritas Deus ibi est


Ubi caritas et amor,
ubi caritas Deus ibi est.

Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor,
ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est.
Exultemus et in ipso jucundemur,
ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est.

Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero,
ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est.
Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus,
ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est.
