So to begin the lecture on Pharmacology, I begin in explaining the treatment of Glaucoma.
What is glaucoma? it is a medical condition in which there is a blockage of the canal of schlem, leading to a blockade of Aqueous Humor of the eye.

Go Pharmacology! If you have questions, please feel free to post and ask questions.

Kamusta Pare!

Welcome to the discussion.

haha! Father, mo hatag ko nimo ug Mano-Po, kai imung words are profound!


You are an inspiration

To God be the Glory!!

Beautiful.

Sometimes, my tone can be a bit fervent evangelical at times, forgive me lang if ma sensitve ang tawo, but when it comes to these things, Father--i can feel the Spirit and i cannot help but give reflection. Dili man intended na ahoang point of view to reprimand, but to offer lang a point of view that many of us--including myself--like to evade and veer away from. Ako galing ma hadlok ko when I search the scriptures--kai guilty man ko of the sins mentioned. And natural raman kai kita tanan are susceptible of these sins. True ka father! So true imung words. But from my own study sa bibliya ug discourse ni Fr. Mark and other catholic-christianos--we shouldn't be afraid or ma sakitan to hear these kinds of words. Warnings and reprimandings from Old Testament and New Testament. Because ingoon to si Fr. Mark namo, "God The Father reprimands us not because he hates us, but because he Loves us. What kind of father would not reprimand His children whom he loves dearly?"

Mao na ahong view concerning this topic.

God Bless you Father, i hold your words close to my heart. You are one of the Sheppards of Christ. God Bless your compassion, Fr!
Salamat Kaayo.

I love and am inspired how you worded that out, Father R. You put into modern text the sayings of 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11.

Amen!

In that saying, the Apostles were talking about how we are all sinners--either it in the sin of sexual promiscuity, pride, anger, lust, adultery, thievery---etc, as sinners we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but that can be fixed.

1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 is telling us that as sinners---we are purified in the Grace and Love of Christ, through faith in Him. So inasmuch as he died for our sins to secure our salvation, our faith in Jesus and our atonement absolves our own sins. Whatever it is. Only God knows.

Thanks Father R, for breaking down the verse of 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 into something we can easily understand.



Thanks, Pops!

Bran

Hi Father,

That is exactly what I point to, that all are sinners and as is told to us in Romans 3:23.
But it is in salvation in the firm faith of Christ's salvation for those who believe in Him.
We sin, because we are all born sinners. What I was taught and what I have learned from the Newman Association communion is:

Salvation comes at a price. Jesus' death on the cross was the complete sign and proof of salvation. So as we repent for our sins--we should also understand and digest what we did wrong. It can be despairing, taking the Lord's name in vain, sexual promiscuity, making fun of one another etc, stealing, lying, etc.

We remember our sins and we ask for atonement because part of responsibility of atonment is recognize our faults. And not merely excusing.

Yes, Father, you are very right. That we cannot ever understand the mind of The Lord God. For so long as the heavens are above the earth, it is impossible to know how the Lord works or how He thinks. But it is in our faith that he forgives each and everyone of us of our sins--that we can be confident in.

Mao na that is why it is best to pray for one another. As we pray for ourselves for our own wicked and sinful iniquities--i myself am a pitiful sinner. So should we also pray for our brother and sisters.

Ingon to si Fr. Mark namo back in collegiate catholic communion, "Recognize your sins, know what you did wrong, and faithfully atone for your sins. There is no such thing as Sin Regular or Sin Lite. Sin is a Sin."
Father Mark would joke around like that with us--to break the serious tone that he was preaching to us.


Thanks Father for your wise words. Salamat kaayo.
Bran

Crying and lamenting can help heal wounds, and express the grief. It is part of the grieving phase.

He Is Mighty To Save!

Mr. Bedo,

Amen, my friend.  Our sufferings and idiosyncrasies and frailties are perfected in our Justified Faith in Jesus Christ. We are like his parable of the mustard seed, who told the mountain to move and plunge into the sea. But by faith, the mountain moved before the mustard seed.

What Jesus Christ is telling us--in that parable--is to Believe. Believe in the impossible, and it can become possible, most of all believe in Jesus' all-surpassing Love and grace--which can do all things.

We, who are sinners of iniquity, are perfected and purified in the Faith. For our spirits are justified by the Holy Spirit. So in times of wanting and need--let us inasmuch put our faith in Jesus. Because there is no such thing as impossibility for Him.

God Bless You, Mr. Bedo.

Begin Anew Every day.


The past is the past. Start fresh everyday, just as God's righteousness is renewed every morning.

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
- Lamentations 3:22-24
---


I love the fact that Scripture tells us God's mercies are new every morning. I mean, it's not like God goes to sleep for eight hours and then wakes up with shiny new mercies. No, we are the ones who need to sleep. We are the ones who oversleep and then get to work late, only to find out that we forgot to finish a project. We're the ones who snap at our family members when we get home and overindulge in mindless entertainment. We're the ones who settle into bed with heavy hearts, remembering all the times we've needed God's forgiveness during the day and feeling utterly depleted.

But God is never depleted. We can open our eyes the next morning with absolute joy in the knowledge that our Father is waiting to spend the day with us, pouring out His mercy and grace. We can't use up His mercies; instead, we can wake up with a renewed sense of wonder at God 's marvelous grace, knowing that He has a more than abundant supply of everything we need, and His hand is open to give it to us if we ask Him.

Our Father does not grow weary of us as we grow weary of ourselves. Instead, He gives us every day as an opportunity to experience the deep joy of His ever-present mercies, mercies that can reach us no matter how bleak our circumstances. And if we lose sight of those mercies? No need to fear; they will be just as wonderful tomorrow as they were today.

The answer to this thread's question can be found in the 1st book of Corinthians:


Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

-1 Corinthians 6: 9-11

Fr. James Kubicki takes us deep into the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the ultimate source of love. In light of God's infinite love, we see that our modern ideas of "love" pale by comparison.

Amen! Amen! Yes Amen!

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
--Romans 8:16-18

St. Stephen.

Because he was a martyr of Christ. He placed his total trust in Christ Jesus.

Hello Barbaro! Hows it going, friend?

Amen!

And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
-Matthew 19:26

Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand. 11What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' "

Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"

He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

Peter said, "Explain the parable to us."

"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.' "

--Matthew 15: 10-16

And Jesus Christ said unto them,

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

--Matthew 10:26-33

Christ Jesus said, "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"

--Matthew 6:22-23

Glacier, and to others,

I want to share a word of advice that I was given by His Eminence, Bishop Donald Trautman, who is the Bishop of the Diocese of Erie, Pennsylvania.

In the confirmatory mass in Easter 2007, as I was part of the new batch of Roman Catholics that were confirmed into the Church --along with my sister, Lorraine. He preached on the topic of : The Fire of Truth, and spreading that fire in our hearts of the Love of Christ to those whom we come in contact with.

What he said to us was beatiful. I forget the entire sermon because it was so beautiful and yet eloquently long. But in my primitive simplicity, what I got out of it was this:

"Be firm in the Truth that you have been confirmed in. For the fire that burns in your heart, is not of your own understanding, but that of the Holy Spirit. Who lives within you. Who proceeds from the Father and the Son."

Bishop Donald Trautman told us and reminded us of the parable of the 'Lamp of the World' that Jesus spoke about. That we, his elect, the strong and fervent faithful--who live and hold strong to the teachings we have been taught--and profess--should not hid our lamps, but shine it out unto the darkness.

Ang meaning ani, is be confident and firm in the teachings of the Holy Church, and not be embarassed or scared to profess it--which comes not from our own mouths--but by the Holy Spirit who guides and straightens even our won bodies and our spiritual frailties.

In this age of uber secularaizaiton, when the teachings of the Church are constantly being attacked, when Christian morality and Christian ethics is being attacked by forces not of The Lord's, we---who are Soldiers of Christ--should not bear down to lies and untruths. But like Angel Michael, have our breastplate of Faith and Truth. And not be afraid to speak and defend the Faith!

Especially in these turbulent times.

Your Brother in Christ,
Lorenzo

--

Ye are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Maayong Buntag, Tita Tess,

Just read this, and wanted to say Amen. Keep it up, Tita Tess.

In the past, I didn't express my love often. I want to change that, starting this week. It has come to me that life is too precious, and fragile. One moment we are alive, the next we are no longer here. Called home. In that beautiful land of Eternal Rest.

So im not going to waste it. Its a message that the Holy Spirit has instilled in me--that I want to share with friends more often--and family.

So, let me start with you. Yes, you. Hi, you. Just want to let you know that I love you.
You may know me, maybe you don't. But hey, you're always welcome to get to know me. And I, am open to knowing more of you.

With my hand open,
Lorenz

Beautiful, Beautiful. 

One of my favorite songs sung in Sunday Mass.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK-84WbmFfQ&feature=PlayList&p=8719D3049B591EDA&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=22

Christ Jesus suffered for our sakes, by his scourging, by his betrayal, by his undergoing unfair trial, by his painful road to Calvary. By His most pious consecration, by His painful crucifixion on the Cross.

His suffering on the Cross and ultimate death for us is the greatest example of Blessing through suffering.

He suffered and died, so that we may LIVE.
He died so that we could be saved.

And he rose from the dead, because His Father would not allow death to keep His only begotten Son. So inasmuch as God the Father raised His son on the 3rd day, so too--will he raise those who die and believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Blessing through Suffering.
You can't have one without the other.

Thanks for the video, Ellen. Definitely, God is the ultimate father.

Jesus gives us a visualization of the all-surpassing love of God The Father in his parable of the Prodigal Son. He describes Eternal Father as the father in that parable; a father who slaughters the fattest calf to celebrate a lost son. Who was dead, but was alive again.

A father who has open arms, and ready to accept those who call on Him.

The ultimate Faithful father.

Tell The Truth


Better to tell the truth and what is in your heart, and suffer persecution for telling the TRUTH than to say a lie just to merely sound 'good' or be 'popular'. Better is an advice that come out of the heart in TRUTH because of love and concern than to usher sweet lies.

Can a sweet lie save you from God's righteous judgement?
We say because we Love you. A brother and sister tells you the truth not because for popularity's sake, but because he or she loves you.

Lord Jesus,
let my heart never rest until it finds You,
who are its center, its love, and its happiness.
By the wound in Your heart
pardon the sins that I have committed
whether out of malice or out of evil desires. Place my weak heart in Your own divine Heart,
continually under Your protection and guidance, so that I may persevere in doing good and in fleeing evil until my last breath.
Amen.

~St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

I, Bran Lorenzo Lucino Jr (put your name in here), give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ my person and my life, my actions, pains, and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being save to honor, love, and glorify the Sacred Heart.

    This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.

    I therefore take Thee, O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.

    Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God Thy Father, and turn away from me the strokes of His righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in Thee, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty; but I hope for all things from Thy goodness and bounty.

    Do Thou consume in me all that can displease Thee or resist Thy holy will. Let Thy pure love imprint Thee so deeply upon my heart that I shall nevermore be able to forget Thee or to be separated from Thee. May I obtain from all Thy loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Thee, for in Thee I desire to place all my happiness and all my glory, living and dying in true bondage to Thee.

(English Version)

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord:

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead;

he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,

the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

Amen.

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem cæli et terræ.

Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum; qui

conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus

sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus; descendit ad

inferos; tertia die resurrexit a mortuis; ascendit ad cælos; sedet

ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis; inde venturus est iudicare

vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam

catholicam, Sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum,

carnis resurrectionem, vitam æternam. Amen

Jesus Christ IS the Bread of Life.
And unless you eat of His body and drink of His blood, you shall have no life within you.

--

   
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.

   
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
   
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?"

Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and   drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats  my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.

--John 6: 47-53

Jesus in this saying, has already mentioned the Royal Priesthood.

He refers to them, the Priests, as "Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven's Sake."

He says also, "He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."



God Bless Our Seminarians and Priests.

7They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

--Matthew 18: 7-12

21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

--Matthew 18: 21-22

Amen, Sir.

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall harm one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

--Matthew 18: 3-6

Finishing up notes, notes. Pathology was pretty interesting today. Taking a break from studies for a bit.

is there really a sound of silence?

yes, there is. the sound of throats being cleared. or, the sound of people breathing? haha~

To compliment what Father L said, which I think was a beautiful and spiritual statement;


There is none of us in this world that is born without sin. None. Romans 3:23 , "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

But in accordance to the teachings we have been given, we are also to honor and remember the commandments of Moses and the teachings professed to us by the prophets of the Old Testament. And we are not to forget those.

Do you think Jesus Christ came to destroy the laws? No, guys! He came not to destroy, but to FULFILL! Mathew 5: 17-19, " Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

And God's Law, "Thou Shall Not Kill."
Part na of the 10 commandments. Part of the Law.

Justified ni in Faith, and in Church and Biblical Teachings.

God Bless you All!


Yours In Christ,
Lorenzo

I think it is a different matter when abortion is necessary due to health-compromising situation as compared to abortion just because a person doesn't want to deal with the responsibility.

Just to 'erase'  a life.

Think about it. I pray for them lang.

Quote from: chicogon on May 20, 2009, 12:57:24 AM
Mao jud nay panudlo sa "ato" nga simbahan MDB nga ang atong kaluwasan nag-agad ra gyod sa Ginoo, sa iyang pagkamaloloy-on, dili sa atong achievements, accomplishments, mga buhat or because we deserve it, even if we sometimes tend to think so. Si Hesus na bitaw niingon nga "I didn't come here to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through "HIM".... "you have already my "WORD" who will be your judge." Ug bisan pa ana na panultion, still, the prerogative to judge in not on "US" but God's... ambot unsay lisod sabton ana nga usa ramay sugo sa Ginoo... go and proclaim the mercy and love of God and summon His disciples "love one another as I have loved you." I don't remember Him telling any of His disciples at any time nga "palihog kuno kog bantay sa mga tawo kung kinsa nilay "good boys & girls" ug kinsa pod tong "naughty & bad." Si Santa Claus nuon sa usa ka Christmas carol bwahahaha.

Ug unsa man diay love nga gipakita sa Ginoo, di ba magpakamatay man para sa iyang mga isig kaingon, even His enemies and persecutors. Aguy! He died for all of us even when we were His enemies because of our sins. Ambot nganong motipas man jud ta, even aning aspetoha sa Biblia.  Di ba ingon man pod siya: "Do not judge and you will not be judged?"

So where do we stand? Unsa man jud ato pagtoo, we're really better people or less evil than these "least of our brethren?" Aguy! Believe it or not, the greatets sin in the world is the sin of PRIDE coz we always think - whether we admit/realize/know it or not - that the world revolves around us or the self. We're (our self) the measure of everything that's good and right (hasta gani mga gagmay bata atong kasab-an kay di sila mo act like our "self" in certain situations. It's always the "other" person who's imperfect and less loved by God and not us/self. Sometimes we think that way individually or as group or as a Church.

Moa jud nay aong kahadlokan kung wa nako aning kalibutana and I'll be facing my JUDGE, because by then, I'll be walking "the last mile, baby" matud pag professor nako sa DOGMA. It's all between me and God, dili ku gunsay gebuhat sa uban. Wew!

And I'll never forget what Jesus said (to the judgmental crowd): mauna pa nato mga k******n, mga borikat, mga b***t, mga tomboy, mga aditz2x, mga kriminal, ug ubang mga makasasa ngadto sa gingharian sa Diyos."
I wonder why He said that. Huh!

Did He really say that? You bet!!!

Gisampolan paman gani tas Ginoo didto sa krus... hayaha sa kawaton oy!

You'll never know how God's grace works!!!

Well Said, Father L!

We are not here to condemn, nor are we here to negate, but to share the truth. What kind of brother would I be if I told only what sounded good to the ear and yet deep in my heart and to BIBLICAL and CHURCH teaching, is considered wrong?

So we, being Brothers and Sisters, should be truthful to one another, and not merely tell them something--just because it 'sounds good', yet betray all the teachings that we hold true--and which resound in our hearts.

To do so, is what Jesus Christ OUR LORD reminds us is an act of Pharisees. Hypocrites.

We are here to support one another. Because WE ARE ALL SINNERS. 
You, Myself, from the priests, to the ministers, to the laymen, to everyone.
But we are in this together. So we are not only to hear TRUTH, but to share TRUTH.


God Bless~

If i tell you guys that i had one abortion, would you all say im a sinner? if the procedure was badly needed  t0 save my health? if that would make me a sinner then i should enjoy my eternal life in hell! hahahhaha

I speak not of my own accord, but by what we are taught. And your actions are your own Ate Belle. The act of Abortion is murder and is a Sin. Are we here to judge, no. That is something a person has to work out with God. For everyone will sin, Ate Belle. A sin is a sin. But the beauty of Salvation is that there is absolution of sin. Isn't it beautiful?

We are not calling to condemn, but to pray.

God Bless You, Ate Belle.

A Brother In Christ,
Bran

Be Kind In Word and Deed.


Easy it is to be angry to your brother and find his  faults. But it takes a bigger person to look past those faults, and be kind to them. As did not Jesus look past the sins and low faith of those whom He talked to in Judea?

Yet, he provided what was needed, healed those whose faith were wanting, and brought signs to those who did not believe and still questioned.

So continue to shine your light, act on your JUSTIFIED love of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Even if you are persecuted, looked down, and questioned by peers.
Who cares if they question you, talk about you. That does not matter!

Don't prove to men, but prove to God. That is all that matters.

God Bless, brothers and sisters!

Hey brod. Layloo,

Put all your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Inasmuch as we put our faith and trust in The Lord's Saving Grace, he will give back to us. For His faithfullness to us is eternal and innumerable.

Our LORD, Jesus Christ told us:

Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
--John 14: 10-14


---

Ask it of Jesus, and in Faith, He will provide. And HE ALWAYS provides.

God Bless You, Brod. Layloo!~

Your Brother In Christ,
Lorenzo

Sin is Sin.

Just pray for them na lang. Even if they are gay, lesbian, or heterosexual, if you believe in your heart and your soul that Jesus died for you, to save you, and are confident in HIS SAVING GRACE, then your confidence is well kept!

So if you are a sinner, and you recognize it, know that you sin, pray for yourself.

Does not matter what the sin is. Sin Is Sin.

Again, God Bless them, May the Lord God have mercy on them.

Shine Your Light

Shine your light and let the whole world see.
Singing for the glory of the Risen King.

Savior, HE can move the mountain,
MY GOD is mighty to SAVE.
Forever, Author of Salvation.
He Rose and Conquered the Grave.

My Savior, You moved the mountain.

haha, Mike, you need to use your forearm muscles in case of a stampede.

Uncle Bayoy,

Hard man diay ni to say good bye. I am reviewing and trying to be strong, pero my thoughts are always brought to you. I am comforted by so many of my medical colleagues, who with the Grace of God, have given me motivation to think of you and pray for you and know that you are truly at peace.

Miss you, I am truly missing you, but even tho my natural human feelings wishes makes me feel sentimental. In my spirit, and in my mind, I am confident and I KNOW that you are somewhere where there is no longer any pain, no more toil, no more suffering.

Because you are now signing in the Glory of the Risen King.
With all the Holy Angels, All the Saints, All the Glories that sing Greatness to the Mighty LORD.

In the beautiful land of New Jerusalem. In Heaven. That cherished land that we all aim to be part of.

Uncle Bayoy, this earthy life passes too fast. Our years here are like seconds, as fast as the sun rises and sets.

And at the end of my own road, my journey way, in this pilgrimage we call LIFE
I will look and confidently say that I did all my all for JESUS.
And I will pray and ask Jesus for mercy. So that I can sing HIS glory for ever.
And at HIS mercy and BLESSING, that I may see you again. To see Papa Titing again, Mama Luz and Lola Nating. And all my loved ones who have gone before me, in eternal rest. But now SING ETERNAL glory to God.


I am confident. I am Strong-willed.
For my confidence and my strength comes not from my own,
But from GOD ETERNAL.

Love you, Uncle Bayoy...
My mightiest hugs, my softest kisses,~~


Always your little BranBran,
Bran

To my Beloved Uncle Bayoy,

Writing this and just tyring to formulate my grief into words to express my sorrow,
It is hard to do so when I have so many good memories of you.

Mostly my memories of you were of my childhood, when I was only a little child, a child that you would carry with your strong right arm. An arm of an Engineer.

Maka hinumdum ko when I was but a child, and I found out that you came back from Saudi, mo dagan ko sa balay ni Mama Luz--dagan as in pas pas jud. Hahaha, naka kita pood ko nimo, and na uwaw man ko to see you. Typical boy, uwawon, pero gusto gud mo hug sa ahong Uncle.

Ingoon pood ka, "Bran, dali dinhi."

Ning approach pood ko--ngano uwawon man ko adtong saunang panahon. Sigoro kai pariho man imung voice sa ahong Daddy. You were holding Jing-Jing in one arm, and then you came to hug me. Haha, lipay gud ko adto!

Bibo kaayo ang balay ni Mama Luz adtong panahon, kai ning balik gud si Engr. Roy Lucino!
Salamat kaayo 'Uncle Roy for the gifts and completing the home. Naka hinumdum pood ko mo adto ta sa Panglao sa imung Jeep. How can I forget your black jeep?

Maka remember ko clearly ug ikaw mo drive, mo lingkod pood ko sa pasaherong seat. I remember your leather shoes. It was stitched-worked. Crocodile leather ba to, di na ko ka hinumdum, pero lami jud kang style sa sapatos. Pariho style ni Daddy. Engineer-style sigoro to. Kai classy man kaayo. hehe.

Sus daghan man koy memoridad sa nimo, 'Uncle Bayoy. Daghang ko good memories of you.
I remember, na remember ko sa 1998 ning balik mi para sa funeral ni Lola Nating. The first person I saw as soon as i stepped out of the Airport in Cebu was you. You.

Immediately naka recognize ko sa imung mustache, imung mata, imung nawong,---kai parihong mustache style ni Daddy. Naka remember ko sa imung katawa-style. Kai it sounds like mine. Lucino GUD!

Uncle Bayoy, I miss you, I remember you, I mourn you, most of all, I adore and Love you.

Bisan dili na ta kakita face to face, bisan di nako ka sulti nimo diring yuta, sa kaning buhay nato, di man ko mo despair, bisan mo hilak ko, hilak ko karon as i write this, kaibao man ko dili man ni End. Walay end sa kining buhay nato, Uncle Bayoy. Our lives may change, but they do not end. Kai i know and i feel your presence. Naka hinumdum ko nimo, ang good memories, ang fond memories. And I know--deep in my heart--you are at peace. Uncle Bayoy...mingaw ko nimo.

Remember me, pray for us, who mourn and miss you.
Am sure, Jesus, in his open arms has already welcomed you.
You are such a beautiful, wonderful, and intelligent soul.

Wait for us, Uncle Bayoy. Uncle Bayoy...as you called to me when i was a boy, "Bran dali dinhi"
Gi kogos ko nimo, mingaw ko nimo..hilak ra lang ko..kai that is all i have of you. My memories.

Wait for me, Uncle Roy...Pohon, ill see you again. Pohon sa Langit.

I lOVE YOU.

Your Nephew,
Bran Bran
