Aron makasapi ta Doy! Bahini mi pod mi.

Friends supporting friends, the old adage holds true, birds of the same feather, flock together.

Advertisement is a stong medium this you should know first hand so you won´t get surprise at the charge. Regarding television, depends on prime time say for example 8.oo is a prime time. A cousin worked for GMA soliciting ads, mahina na ang 1/4 million pesos sa prime time (5-7 seconds) .
Just the same with newspapers and magazines, there are prime pages like second, last page (back to back), this is because the first and last info lingers longer in your memory. Kon pila depende sa readership sa magazine. In your case simply ask a magazine/newspaper that you are placing an ads

Yes, Ondoy Felix, hasta imong laway sama ka danlog sa okra! ha ha ha

It is okay to cry, you simply get in touch with your feeling, now cry a river baby!

Okay, if this gator fee really comes out that will be okay, but it would be fine if they put your photo also as the Gator King! Mabuhay ka Ben.

Salamat nga aduna kitay Renegade, hala Inday kutiha kana, kay kinhanglan ma-expose kining Gator fee.

Here's a simple recipe of okra that you might consider adding in your diet.

20 pcs. of okra slice into bite size
1 cup of oyster mushroom

pinch of salt and ground pepper
1 tbsp lea & perrins worcestershire sauce

Saute' garlic and ginger in butter add bamboo shoots, okra and oyster mushrooms, simmer then season with salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce.

ps
Yes Ben this must be raw. Kamusta na ka higala?

Para nako, bahala kon kinsa ang manag-iya  basta kini makasilbi sa katawhan.

Hallo Mr Bean,

Aduna kay nindot nga kamera, daghan pod kang mga pictures, palihug ug share dinhi . I post ang kanindot sa lunsod nga imong gi-poyan karon.

Dili angay ikatingala kon ngano nga nitaas ang kriminalidad karong mga panahona.

Relating to God
 
We need a God that we can relate to at the human level. That is the gift of Jesus, a God enfleshed in our form.

an okra recipe;

found this recipe in a magazine and tried it. Dip the okra in beaten egg, then dip it in bread crumbs and deep fry. not only is it tasty, it also losses it's slippery thing! You can make any sauce to go with it, depending upon your choice.

Does anyone posses pictures of the stolen items? It should be published so that the exposure will make it difficult to sell. Ang naka-apan kay adunay mga dato nga mang hambog kon makapalit ug mga antique articles. This is against the law of God and men.

Wow, ug panington ko kolor kape?

Koddi, this is interesting, I will try next time, salamat jamo.

Hallo Padre,
Naay may mga feasible studies about  this wind generators, the trouble is the high price of installing one. The government is not enthusiastic about this project.

Wow da Bins,nindot jamo!

I felt light when this was closed, but now I feel it is right to have this thread reopened .Give peace and justice a chance, and don´t allow too much emotions to reign over fair reasoning.
Welcome to the next round of discussions, and hopefully no hitting below the belt.

Solutions should be implemented and monitored to secure success.

The project will give feedback about activity levels
Facebook, mobile phones, and energy meters are helping to see if people can be nudged into living healthier lives.

The three-year project will see how people react when data is fed back to them about their energy use and activity levels.

While it has been established that such feedback can alter behaviour, the researchers want to unpick the mechanisms of such change.

About 800 people will be recruited to the project which starts in September.

Normal life

The research, called the Charm Project, builds on the work of academics Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein which implies that the way people are told about poor lifestyle choices influences how they react.

Instead of simply telling people to stop, it has been shown that it is more effective to reveal how one person's behaviour ranks against their peers.

Adopting a less confrontational style can, claim Thaler and Sunstein, "nudge" people towards better choices.

"It's about influencing behaviour by telling people what other people do," said Dr Ruth Rettie, head of the Charm Project and a reader in marketing at Kingston University.

Social norms are the broadly accepted ways that people conduct themselves and encompass such things as manners, cleanliness, and behaviour.

Via three separate investigations, Dr Rettie and her colleagues will gather data about consumption or usage behaviour related to sustainability, feed information about it back to the subjects, and see how that "social proof" changes behaviour.

The project will not dictate norms to people. Instead it will find out what people do and then tell everyone involved about that activity.

Three trials

One investigation revolves around mobile phones that have software installed on them to measure how active their owners are.

200 people will take part in this trial, said Dr Parisa Eslambolchilar, a lecturer in human-computer interaction at the University of Swansea who is developing the phone application.

Participants will be given feedback about their activity and whether they are more or less active than the others in the group. Data from accelerometers in smartphones and PDAs will be analysed to work out how far people are walking. GPS will be used for those that cycle, to work out their average speed and distance travelled.

Still to be decided is the way that information about activity will be fed back. One idea is to represent individuals as flowers in a garden with the more active participants growing taller over the course of the investigation.

Household energy use will be monitored as another of the Charm Project investigations. This will see small energy meters placed in the homes of 400 people recruited for the project.

"The monitor clamps around the cable, it does not interfere or use home power," said Dr Matthew Studley, a senior researcher in robotics at the University of the West of England who has developed the device.

Information about energy use will be sent to the researchers, who will then inform participants of how much they used and how that compares to others in the trial.

Feedback

Information might be fed back through text message, a project website, or a letter in the post, said Dr Studley.

"We are not particularly interested in the amount of energy that they are using, it's the change in their behaviour as a result of the feedback," he said.
The third investigation will revolve around social networking site Facebook and will investigate how friends influence each other and see what it takes to nudge people towards more "sustainable" ways of life.

Dr Rettie said the Charm Project aimed to get a better understanding of why people make the choices they do and what can influence them.

"There has been a tendency in academic circles to think that choices are made on a rational and conscious basis," she said. "We find out their attitudes, consider their intentions, and that will give you their behaviour."

Finding out what informs choices and how to influence them was likely to become far more important as the need to live more sustainable lifestyles becomes pressing, she said.

"If we are going to change and make lifestyles more sustainable, then changing this process is very important," she said.

St. Philip Neri

(1515-1595)

 

Philip Neri was a sign of contradiction, combining popularity with piety against the background of a corrupt Rome and a disinterested clergy, the whole post-Renaissance malaise.
At an early age, he abandoned the chance to become a businessman, moved to Rome from Florence and devoted his life and individuality to God. After three years of philosophy and theology studies, he gave up any thought of ordination. The next 13 years were spent in a vocation unusual at the time—that of a layperson actively engaged in prayer and the apostolate.

As the Council of Trent was reforming the Church on a doctrinal level, Philip’s appealing personality was winning him friends from all levels of society, from beggars to cardinals. He rapidly gathered around himself a group of laypersons won over by his audacious spirituality. Initially they met as an informal prayer and discussion group, and also served poor people in Rome.

At the urging of his confessor, he was ordained priest and soon became an outstanding confessor, gifted with the knack of piercing the pretenses and illusions of others, though always in a charitable manner and often with a joke. He arranged talks, discussions and prayers for his penitents in a room above the church. He sometimes led “excursions” to other churches, often with music and a picnic on the way.

Some of his followers became priests and lived together in community. This was the beginning of the Oratory, the religious institute he founded. A feature of their life was a daily afternoon service of four informal talks, with vernacular hymns and prayers. Giovanni Palestrina was one of Philip’s followers, and composed music for the services.

The Oratory was finally approved after suffering through a period of accusations of being an assembly of heretics, where laypersons preached and sang vernacular hymns! (Cardinal Newman founded the first English-speaking house of the Oratory.)

Philip’s advice was sought by many of the prominent figures of his day. He is one of the influential figures of the Counter-Reformation, mainly for converting to personal holiness many of the influential people within the Church itself. His characteristic virtues were humility and gaiety.

Comment:

Many people wrongly feel that such an attractive and jocular personality as Philip’s cannot be combined with an intense spirituality. Philip’s life melts our rigid, narrow views of piety. His approach to sanctity was truly catholic, all-embracing and accompanied by a good laugh. Philip always wanted his followers to become not less but more human through their striving for holiness.

ps
He is the saint who always smile. Philip Neri prayed, "Let me get through today, and I shall not fear tomorrow."

Elusive Virtue
 
The more we pursue humilityâ€"and the more we seem to acquire itâ€"the more we take pride in our accomplishment.

Bilib jud ko sa imong kakugihan Inday Raquel, lami unta manumbay diha.

This theme should be propagated in movies, bill boards and television. What I observed are lusty scenes , youngsters who are displaying pulchritude, manicured hands and feet, white skin etcetera. These is really counterproductive to fight hunger and poverty.
Gardening is a virtue, this is like praising God, God in action, growing plants and marveling at His creation. Really meditative, a day to day surprise.
Keep going Felix, basin makabisita ko nimo tabang ug harvest sa pechay.

I have a friend who retired and she is planting kamunggay in Gingoog, almost a hectare. She said she will not get rich but she supplies the local market.

I posted these humble vegetables to refresh your minds how nutrional they are and also very cheap. They can be cultivated in our small backyards just as what we did during the time of our "katiguwangans".

Have you heared about camote tops as cure against dengue? Here is the recipe;

Camote tops are boiled in water to extract the juice. The boiling lasts
for about five minutes. A little salt is used to give flavor to it. The
patient is made to drink slowly and gradually. The body's immunity system is
thus revived, making dengue helpless against the body's natural defenses.
Camote enables the body to heal itself.

Have you heared about this joke;
Go home and plant camote!

Planting and eating camote is no joke anymore.

The leaves or so-called “kamote tops” are a good source of vitamins A, B and C, iron, calcium and phosphorus. The tubers (roots) are high in carbohydrates and are mainly starch. Kamote tops are very often eaten as local salad. Wash the vegetable well before eating. It can be eaten raw or just immerse in boiling water quickly and drain; mix it with tomatoes and onions with little soy sauce and lemon juice (kalamansi"

Here are just a few of the diseases it can help: heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, bowel problems, irritable bowel syndrome, various cancers of the bowel (mouth, stomach, and colon cancers), kidney stones, and many more. Eating vegetables can also fight obesity. Vegetables are excellent filler foods because they’re low in fat, low in calories, and high in fiber. As you can see from our list, steamed or sauteed vegetables with garlic, tomatoes, and onions are very healthy indeed."

Therapeutics of Malunggay/Moringa

Sometimes, people think that solutions to their problems are expensive and hard to find.  But more often than not, real solutions to basic problems are abundant, cheap and even free.  Health problems are especially solvable with natural inexpensive gifts from nature.

Moringa, for example, is a wonderful blessing for us all.  Locally, it is called malunggay and is easily available everywhere.  Unfortunately, it is little appreciated by many Filipinos.  Today, I would like to share with the good news about Moringa, as written by Mark Fritz of the Los Angeles Times.

"Scientifically speaking, Moringa sounds like magic.  It can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and enable a malnourished mother to nurse her starving baby.  Ounce for ounce, it has the calcium of four glasses of milk, the vitamin C of seven oranges and the potassium of three bananas.

"A dash of Moringa can make dirty water drinkable.  Doctors use it to treat diabetes in West Africa and high blood pressure in India.  Not only can it staunch a skin infection, but Moringa also makes an excellent fuel and fertilizer.


"Memo to Popeye:  Moringa has triple the iron of spinach and more impressive attributes than olive oil.  Both Moringa and the common carrot are diamonds in the roughage department, but Moringa has quadruple the beta carotene, which is good for the eyes and effective against cancer."


Fritz also reports on the positive results of using Moringa as a substitute for expensive whole milk powder in nutrition projects.

It was my Ilocano uncle who taught me how to cook saluyot with Ligo (sardinas), young saba (saging). Pampangos cooked shrimps with saluyot.

A nutritious vegetable called saluyot, excellent for health, youthfull looks and stamina.
In nutirional aspects it is rich in beta carotene like carrots, iron against anemia  and calcium for stong bones and teeth.
Nutritionists found that 45 grams of saluyot approx. 48 grams contains 20 calories, .3 g fat,  3.4 g carbohydrates, 1.3 g protein, 87.3 mg calcium, 22.5 g phosphorous, 220 g vit A (retinol), traces of tiamin, riboflavin,  niacin and vit. C. Saluyot is an excellent anti-oxidant.
I found out that saluyot originated from Egypt and it is cultivated in Syria and Damascus.

St. Bede the Venerable

(672?-735)

 

Bede is one of the few saints honored as such even during his lifetime. His writings were filled with such faith and learning that even while he was still alive, a Church council ordered them to be read publicly in the churches.
At an early age Bede was entrusted to the care of the abbot of the Monastery of St. Paul, Jarrow. The happy combination of genius and the instruction of scholarly, saintly monks produced a saint and an extraordinary scholar, perhaps the most outstanding one of his day. He was deeply versed in all the sciences of his times: natural philosophy, the philosophical principles of Aristotle, astronomy, arithmetic, grammar, ecclesiastical history, the lives of the saints and, especially, Holy Scripture. From the time of his ordination to the priesthood at 30 (he had been ordained deacon at 19) till his death, he was ever occupied with learning, writing and teaching. Besides the many books that he copied, he composed 45 of his own, including 30 commentaries on books of the Bible.

Although eagerly sought by kings and other notables, even Pope Sergius, Bede managed to remain in his own monastery till his death. Only once did he leave for a few months in order to teach in the school of the archbishop of York. Bede died in 735 praying his favorite prayer: “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As in the beginning, so now, and forever.”

His Ecclesiastical History of the English People is commonly regarded as of decisive importance in the art and science of writing history. A golden age was coming to an end at the time of Bede’s death: It had fulfilled its purpose of preparing Western Christianity to assimilate the non-Roman barbarian North. Bede recognized the opening to a new day in the life of the Church even as it was happening.

Comment:

Though his History is the greatest legacy Bede has left us, his work in all the sciences (especially in Scripture) should not be overlooked. During his last Lent, he worked on a translation of the Gospel of St. John into English, completing it the day he died. But of this work “to break the word to the poor and unlearned” nothing remains today.

Sa Basdio, Guindulman kusog ang Smart.

In my opinion we don´t need any foreign places to learn the language english. We have excellent schools and universities here in our country. Through God´s mercy I was able to acquire an English Proficiency Certificate from Cambridge University here in Germany.  I went to public schools and 3 years in Ateneo de Davao University.  Our country offers high education facilities that´s why we are of advantage when we go abroad. We got lots of foreign students, I went to a German dentist who got her diploma from Centro Escolar University Manila.
Our UP grads can be as proficient with Harvard products.
Please be proud of our educational system.

Please note that another name for Lady Finger (Bhindi ) is " OKRA ".
Last month in one of TV program I learnt of a treatment of Sugar
(Diabetes).
Take two pieces of Lady Finger (Bhindi) and remove/cut both ends of each
piece. Also put a small cut in the middle and put these two pieces in
glass of water. Cover the glass and keep it at room temperature during
night. Early morning, before breakfast simply remove two pieces of lady
finger (bhindi) from the glass and drink that water.
Keep doing it on daily basis.
Within two weeks, you will see remarkable results in reduction of your
SUGAR.
My friend has got rid of her diabetes. She was on Insulin for a few
years, but after taking the lady fingers every morning for a few months,
she has stopped Insulin but continues to take the lady fingers every
day. But she chops the lady fingers into fine pieces in the night, adds
the water and drinks it all up the next morning. Please. try it as it
will not do you any harm even if it does not do much good to you, but you
have to keep taking it for a few months before you see results, as most
cases might be chronic

May he rest in peace! Please accept my condolence Ondoy!

Manay

I don´t want to look back what I went through, it is tomorrow what I´m anticipating, no more plans, God makes plans for us, all my trust to Him.

I did not marry again, although my ex-husband died later, marrying is a traumatic experience. I feel alright in my lifestyle now.

Brillante Mendoza participated last year, too in Cannes with the film Serbis, there were lots of mixed critics because of its outright brutality. but what he showed are bitter reality of Manila´s daily life.

Brilliante Mendoza's Kinatay, which means "massacre" or "butchered" in Filipino and is the Philippines' entry for the Palme d'Or at the ongoing 2009 Cannes Film Festival, has it's press conference, photocall and premier today, May 17, 2009.

Those present in the press conference are the director Brillante Mendoza, actresses Mercedes Cabral and Maria Isabel Lopez, and actor Coco Martin, along with producers Didier Costet and Ferdinand Lapuz.

Kinatay is a story about a young criminology student and corrupt cops hacking a prostitute to pieces with blunt kitchen knives.

Spiritual Maturity
 
Part of growing up spiritually is learning to be grateful for all things, even our difficulties, disappointments, failures, humiliations.

Aray. ma-ngapo nasab ko!

At least 11 people have been injured during a fight inside a Sikh temple in the Austrian capital Vienna.

Police said five men armed with knives and another with a pistol started a fight in the temple, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports.

The number of injured is expected to rise, a police spokeswoman said.

It is unclear what caused the fight, with reports of a feud between rival families and also of disputes with worshippers at other Sikh temples.

Preacher 'attacked'

All six of the armed men were severely injured in the incident and were taken to hospital where they were arrested, our correspondent says.


 
One report said the men were extremists who disagreed with the teachings of the preacher.

He was named as Shri Guru Ravidas Sabha by the Austrian Press Agency.

The six armed men apparently attacked him, prompting his supporters to rush to his aid.

Other people may have been less seriously hurt but ran from the building before emergency services arrived, authorities said.

The temple is situated in Vienna-Rudolfsheim, in the 15th district of the capital. BBC

One of these days, you will get an enlightenment and will join the wagon! God Bless.

St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi

(1566-1607)

 

Mystical ecstasy is the elevation of the spirit to God in such a way that the person is aware of this union with God and both internal and external senses are detached from the sensible world. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi was so generously given this special gift of God that she is called the "ecstatic saint."
She was born into a noble family in Florence in 1566. The normal course would have been for Catherine de Pazzi to have married wealth and enjoyed comfort, but she chose to follow her own path. At nine she learned to meditate from the family confessor. She made her first Communion at the then-early age of 10 and made a vow of virginity one month later. When 16, she entered the Carmelite convent in Florence because she could receive Communion daily there.

Catherine had taken the name Mary Magdalene and had been a novice for a year when she became critically ill. Death seemed near so her superiors let her make her profession of vows from a cot in the chapel in a private ceremony. Immediately after, she fell into an ecstasy that lasted about two hours. This was repeated after Communion on the following 40 mornings. These ecstasies were rich experiences of union with God and contained marvelous insights into divine truths.

As a safeguard against deception and to preserve the revelations, her confessor asked Mary Magdalene to dictate her experiences to sister secretaries. Over the next six years, five large volumes were filled. The first three books record ecstasies from May of 1584 through Pentecost week the following year. This week was a preparation for a severe five-year trial. The fourth book records that trial and the fifth is a collection of letters concerning reform and renewal. Another book, Admonitions, is a collection of her sayings arising from her experiences in the formation of women religious.

The extraordinary was ordinary for this saint. She read the thoughts of others and predicted future events. During her lifetime, she appeared to several persons in distant places and cured a number of sick people.

It would be easy to dwell on the ecstasies and pretend that Mary Magdalene only had spiritual highs. This is far from true. It seems that God permitted her this special closeness to prepare her for the five years of desolation that followed when she experienced spiritual dryness. She was plunged into a state of darkness in which she saw nothing but what was horrible in herself and all around her. She had violent temptations and endured great physical suffering. She died in 1607 at 41, and was canonized in 1669.

Our Choice
 
God leaves us free to accept or reject his love. We make that choice every day, building on the choice we made the day before

Here is the Catholic church position on divorce;

The Lord Jesus insisted on the original intention of the Creator who willed that marriage be indissoluble. He abrogates the accommodations that had slipped into the old Law.

Between the baptized, "a ratified and consummated marriage cannot be dissolved by any human power or for any reason other than death."


If civil divorce remains the only possible way of ensuring certain legal rights, the care of the children, or the protection of inheritance, it can be tolerated and does not constitute a moral offense.

Divorce is immoral also because it introduces disorder into the family and into society. This disorder brings grave harm to the deserted spouse, to children traumatized by the separation of their parents and often torn between them, and because of its contagious effect which makes it truly a plague on society.

In my opinion it was never talked about  the mental anguish and the breakdown of nerves if a marriage malfunctions. It is only the moral and spiritual aspect which play an important rule but the reality is harsh, the church gives no concrete help during these moments of agony. I´m still for divorce.

I could imagine a solar powered generator to be eco-friendly, also in case of brown-outs.

The Prophecy of Fatima


The truth is that the Catholic Church, in time, would reveal the third secret of Fatima but only after the dates in question. Ninety years have now passed since our Lady’s apparition at Fatima.
After Pope Pius VI, there would be twelve popes, at which time the papacy would end. Pope John Paul II was the twelfth pope.
The pope who would precede him (#11) would have a very short papacy. John Paul I died one moth after being elected.
The twelfth pope would have a very long papacy: John Paul II was pope for 27 years, from 1978-2005. The third longest papacy in history.
According to the prophecy, John Paul II’s successor would cause a revolution within the Catholic Church (as has happened with Pope Benedict’s declarations regarding the Muslim religion).


The Church has given permission to reveal the third secret of Fatima. The Church has given permission to reveal to the faithful one part of the secret of Fatima. Mary, mother of Jesus, revealed herself to three children in 1917. This was proved in extraordinary manifestations and testimonials from dozens of thousands of people. One of the children lived until recently, Lucia (Sister Lucia), a nun who lived in a cloistered convent in Europe. Sister Lucia first revealed the message to Pope Paul XI, who after reading the message was horrified, kept the message secret and did not let the public know. At the right time, Pope John XXIII read it and did the same. They did this because they knew that when the secret was revealed, it would cause worldwide panic and despair.


Now, another part is revealed, not to cause panic, but so that people would know it and prepare themselves.
Blessed Mother said to Lucia, “Look my daughter, I will show the world what will happen between the years 1950-2001. Man is not practicing the commandments of our Heavenly Father, God. Satan is directing the world, creating hate and discord in all places. Man is making arms that would destroy the world in minutes, half the world will be horrifically destroyed, the war will begin in Rome and there will be conflicts within the religious orders. God shall allow that all of nature’s phenomena, hail, cold, water, fire, floods, earthquakes, inclement weather, terrible disasters, and incredibly cold winters, will waste away the earth little by little; these things in one form or another will begin around the year 2000. Now, those that did not wish to believe will have the opportunity, the Blessed Mother of humanity speaks to them.
Practice acts of charity with those closest to you who needs them; those that do not love each other as my Son loves them, SOME OF THOSE MAY SURVIVE, but millions shall lose their lives in seconds. Our God shall punish severely those who do not believe in anything, those who resist, and those who do not have time for Him. I call upon everyone to come to my son, Jesus Christ; God is help for the world, but everyone who does not testify to His greatness shall be destroyed.”


The priest, Augustine, who lives in Fatima, says that Pope Paul VI gave him permission to visit Sister Lucia, since she was a cloistered nun and could not receive visitors. Father Augustine says she received him with a broken heart and said to him, “Father, Our Lady is sad because hardly anyone interested themselves in her prophecy of 1917; so the good have to walk down a narrow road and the bad walk down a wide road which will take them to destruction; and do you believe me Father? The punishment will come in a very short time. Many souls will be lost and many nations will disappear. But even through this, if man meditates, prays, and performs kind acts, the world can still be saved. Opposite case, the world of man shall be lost forever.”


THE TIME HAS COME TO REVEAL THE MESSAGE OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA TO YOUR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, THEIR FRIENDS, AND TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.


A MAN IN VERY HIGH AUTHORITY SHALL BE ADVISED OF THIS AND SHALL START THE WAR. A VERY POWERFUL ARMY SHALL WALK THROUGH EUROPE AND NUCLEAR WAR SHALL COMMENCE.


This war shall destroy everything; darkness shall fall upon the earth for 72 hours (3 days). Only 1/3 of all humanity shall survive these 72 hours of darkness and terror and will begin a new era; the good people. In a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight, a GREAT EARTHQUAKE shall shake the world for eight hours.


This shall be the third sign that God is who governs the earth. The good, those who spread this prophecy of the Blessed Mother announced at Fatima, should NOT BE SCARED, DO NOT HAVE ANY MISTRUST.
WHAT TO DO? Remember to ask God's forgiveness. Do not leave your homes and do not let in any stranger. So that you will be prepared and have life, as my children that you are, I shall give the following signals: THE NIGHT SHALL BE EXTREMELY COLD; GREAT WINDS WILL BLOW; THERE SHALL BE GREAT ANGST AND IN LITTLE TIME THERE SHALL BE A GREAT EARTHQUAKE THAT SHALL SHAKE THE ENTIRE EARTH.


In your home, close windows and doors and speak with no-one not in your home. Do not look outside; do not be curious, because this shall be the wrath of God. Light blessed candles, because for three days this shall be the only light that shall be lit.
The movement of the earth shall be so violent that it will move it’s apogee from 23 to 20 degrees; after, she shall return to normal position. And then a complete and total insecurity shall cover the entire earth.


That the good Christian souls remember to light the blessed candles; prepare a sacred altar with a crucifix to communicate with God through His Son and beg His infinite mercy. Everything will be dark. And then, a great mystical cross shall appear in the sky, recalling the precious price her Son paid for love of humanity and for our redemption.


In homes, the only thing that shall shed light are the blessed candles of wax, that once lit nothing will be able to extinguish until the three days of darkness end. Everyone should also have Holy Water (or blessed water) that should be spread throughout the home, especially doors and windows. Remember to be in front of the powerful cross of the Divine Son, pray with devotion and then say the following: “Oh God forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven especially those in most need of your mercy. Sweet Mother Mary intercede for us…we love you, save our world.”


Speak with all the people you know, those that stay silent shall be responsible for the great number of souls that perish from ignorance. When the earth shakes no more, the winds shall bring gases and will spread them everywhere; the sun shall not come out. It may be you who lives after this catastrophe.


Consider these passages in the Sacred Scriptures:
Saint Luke (Chapter 21, verses 5:11, 12:19, 20:20, 29:33)
Letter of Saint Paul to the Hebrews (Chapter 3, 8-14)
Isaiah (Chapter 40, 1: 5: 9: )


It should be understood that God shall let all of this come to pass. The Pope and bishops await another message that speaks of repentance and prayer. Remember that the Word of God is not a threat but rather good news.


Please reproduce this paper and send it to everyone you know so that we may have the opportunity to repent and survive. We don't know that those who are receiving this message believe in Him, but think that if God allows this to be received by them it is because He loves them regardless of their religion. If you do not believe in this message, at least send it to others, it costs you nothing, so that those who do believe will have the opportunity to decide for themselves.


Sister Lucia died the 11th of February, 2005. Since she was 20 years old, it was warned that this prophecy would come to pass after Sister Lucia's death.

Manila (AP) Bei einem Fährunglück auf den Philippinen sind am Samstag mindestens zwölf Menschen ertrunken, darunter auch ein Urlauber aus Japan und drei kleine Kinder. 48 Menschen, unter ihnen fünf Besatzungsmitglieder, überlebten nach Angaben der Polizei das Kentern des Auslegerboots. Nach Angaben der Küstenwacht war das Boot möglicherweise überladen. Es sei nur für 42 Passagiere zugelassen gewesen, sagte ein Sprecher. Diesen Artikel weiter lesen

Die Fähre war unterwegs zu dem Ferienort Puerto Galera auf der Insel Mindoro. Eine Augenzeugin berichtete später am Telefon, das Wetter sei sonnig gewesen. Doch plötzlich seien große Wellen über das Boot hereingebrochen und der Ausleger sei zerbrochen. «Es passierte alles so schnell. Ich weiß nicht einmal, wie ich da rausgekommen bin», berichtete die Philippinin. Andere Boote in der Gegend seien den Schiffbrüchigen zu Hilfe gekommen.

Bulak, gikugihan jud nimo, your okay Indayon, akong gi-email ni Luisa ug gi PM, hinaut pa nga mabasahan niya nga adunay na-ningkamot sa iyang palihug.

He Pacquiaoed the beauty of Ate Glow!

Basin hubog kini siya, Alec Baldwin is an active member of Amnesty International, this is disgusting.

Sakit na dinhi sa first world countries. Ang naka-angin ang sinahan, selos, magtandi kinsa ang daghang bahandi, dili manghilabot kay sa batasan ba sa mga Aleman, unsa man ang maako. Dugangan pa sa kina-iya nga tag-sa tagsa kita ug panginabuhi, busa ika-abot ka ug kaigog magsinamok sa lain.
Ako nagpasalamat nga aduna miy gagmay nga grupo sa mga Bol-anon, walay hipusay, weekend ug istorya, I never thought that it is very liberating and it eases our tense minds.
Thanks God for the Bol-anon barkadas.

conclusion; there is more to human relationships as mere acquisition of material needs.

Boy Allows 43 Snails to Crawl on Face

An 11-year-old Utah boy allows 43 live snails to crawl on his face in hopes of shattering the world record for such an icky feat. Fin Keleher's family is submitting evidence of his accomplishment to Guinness World Records for possible certification.  National News, Weird news

Korek Lee! This is my perception of being a sinful person, we inherited it. Since God is the King of Mercy, we have the chance for reparations.

This is an excellent idea if seen purely as a means of transportation, but you know in Bohol you take a lot of things with you, don´t forget habal-habal!

One should also consider the maintenance and servicing of this car, spare parts and technicians in the vicinity to name  a few in case this car breaksdown.

This is  advertising themselves like sex-machines. We are living in a material world la la la la.

Wow, molanlan diay ug binisaya si Ondoy Bran!
I thank you Lord for all your mercy, for your graces and especially today, I will visit the tomb of the Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, please guide me there.

I surfed the website of my frat/sor and I saw a name of a Brod a former neighbor in Guindulman. He is stationed in Iraq!

St. Felix of Cantalice

(1515-1587)

 

Felix was the first Franciscan Capuchin ever canonized. In fact, when he was born, the Capuchins did not yet exist as a distinct group within the Franciscans.
Born of humble, God-fearing parents in the Rieti Valley, Felix worked as a farmhand and a shepherd until he was 28. He developed the habit of praying while he worked.

In 1543 he joined the Capuchins. When the guardian explained the hardships of that way of life, Felix answered: "Father, the austerity of your Order does not frighten me. I hope, with God’s help, to overcome all the difficulties which will arise from my own weakness."

Three years later Felix was assigned to the friary in Rome as its official beggar. Because he was a model of simplicity and charity, he edified many people during the 42 years he performed that service for his confreres.

As he made his rounds, he worked to convert hardened sinners and to feed the poor as did his good friend, St. Philip Neri, who founded the Oratory, a community of priests serving the poor of Rome. When Felix wasn’t talking on his rounds, he was praying the rosary. The people named him "Brother Deo Gratias" (thanks be to God) because he was always using that blessing.

When Felix was an old man, his superior had to order him to wear sandals to protect his health. Around the same time a certain cardinal offered to suggest to Felix’s superiors that he be freed of begging so that he could devote more time to prayer. Felix talked the cardinal out of that idea. Felix was canonized in 1712.

Comment:

Grateful people make good beggars. Francis told his friars that if they gave the world good example, the world would support them. Felix’s life proves the truth of that advice. In referring all blessings back to their source (God), Felix encouraged people to works of charity for the friars and for others.

Staying Close
 
We sustain our love by growing older in close company with the object of our love. This is true of marriage, and of our life of faith.

Siliman University! His statement was like a blaphemy for me, the occassion was a dinner which I hosted for some German friends who are eager to travel to the Philippines. The topic was so sensitive and provoking I did not say anything.

Dili dila makonsyensya sa kapobrehon sa kadaghanang Pilipino? 

ps
we are a country of  of suffering poor people supporting the affluent minority!

A protestant pastor  told me that we have to sin, so that Christ would save us. I asked him, where did you learned your theology?

I got this through an email from a cousin in the USA, what reminds me of this photo were the days gone by. Young men needs alalays or bridges to court a young lady. This could be in form of haranas, love letters and the like. It was not a direct confrontation, there were feelers or signals. Kay kon masipyat dili sab diretsahan, kon moesplikar  ug kas-ahon morag presko pud. This was the generation I belong to.  Some twists of fate, the bearer is the owner.

Inday kiams ihatag siya sa atong mga higala sa laing thread kadtong natepok nga briton, mga yabag, ininglisan yabag, dagan sa utok yabag.

The foods looked tasty, how much it costs?

Wala moy kalibutan kon unsaon ang kinabuhi sa magti-ayon nga dili na magkasinabot. I´m glad there is divorce here in Germany. It was no use to stay together longer if both parties are not willing to stay as loving couple together.  It is a lot of suffering, purbida kon ang husband alcoholic unya kwarta awayan kada adlaw, maholog ug patay.
Going straight following the catholic path is really thorny, but I´glad I´m divorced and I know that the Lord cares for me.

Dapoxetin is a new medication produced by Janssen-Cilag in Germany to be sold this coming June ( under prescriptions of course). This medications will come as Prilligy. It was used at first to cure males diagnosed with depressions but it was observed that it also helped a lot in maintaining sexual stamina.
Happy days are here again.

Self-indulgence is not in consonance with God´s plan, it is displeasing to Him.

St. Rita of Cascia

(1381-1457)

 

Like Elizabeth Ann Seton, Rita of Cascia was a wife, mother, widow and member of a religious community. Her holiness was reflected in each phase of her life.
Born at Roccaporena in central Italy, Rita wanted to become a nun but was pressured at a young age into marrying a harsh and cruel man. During her 18-year marriage, she bore and raised two sons. After her husband was killed in a brawl and her sons had died, Rita tried to join the Augustinian nuns in Cascia. Unsuccessful at first because she was a widow, Rita eventually succeeded.

Over the years, her austerity, prayerfulness and charity became legendary. When she developed wounds on her forehead, people quickly associated them with the wounds from Christ's crown of thorns. She meditated frequently on Christ's passion. Her care for the sick nuns was especially loving. She also counseled lay people who came to her monastery.

Beatified in 1626, Rita was not canonized until 1900. She has acquired the reputation, together with St. Jude, as a saint of impossible cases. Many people visit her tomb each year.

Comment:

Although we can easily imagine an ideal world in which to live out our baptismal vocation, such a world does not exist. An “If only ….” approach to holiness never quite gets underway, never produces the fruit that God has a right to expect.

Rita became holy because she made choices that reflected her Baptism and her growth as a disciple of Jesus. Her overarching, lifelong choice was to cooperate generously with God's grace, but many small choices were needed to make that happen. Few of those choices were made in ideal circumstancesâ€"not even when Rita became an Augustinian nun.

Quote:
For the Baptism of adults and for all the baptized at the Easter Vigil, three questions are asked: “Do you reject sin so as to live in the freedom of God's children? Do you reject the glamour of evil, and refuse to be mastered by sin? Do you reject Satan, father of sin and prince of darkness?”

Priorities
 
If birth is so important that it marks a major touchstone every year, shouldn't our rebirth in Christ at baptism be even more important?

Gato, welcome to this Forum. Ube chooses the right kind of soil. I think some agriculturist can give you the answer. I know in Bohol it is greatly grown in Ubay.

Yes Doy! Bishop Sheen was considered a living saint at that time. He is a man full of wisdom.
Abi nimo para nako ikaw ang bagong version karong panahona! God bless.

Relax Inday Lumine, I feel that you are a perfect mother for your son, and your mother´s instinct surpasses any lectures or guidelines on child rearing. A God fearing mother like you is the best.

The change of production to cut costs could be triggered by the news that Intel is fined 1.06 billion Euro ;  European Union Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes stated the following regarding the decision, “Given that Intel has harmed millions of European consumers by deliberately acting to keep competitors out of the market for over five years, the size of the fine should come as no surprise.”

This is a very positive project especially in Bohol.Trees can´t grow high since it is prematurely cut for firewood purposes.

Inday Lumine, akong nabasahan sa usa ka german journal about child rearing that a kid in Matt´s age is the most important phase in his growing years, kay kon maayo ang pag-atiman dili kini problemahon sa pag-abot sa puberty, ( ako lang share para sa mga ginikanan nga adunay gagmay nga bata).
