THE MEMORARE

Remember, 0 most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, 0 Virgin of virgins, my mother. To thee do I come, before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful. 0 Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer them.

Amen.

PRAYER

We have a great. great remedy in our hands, that is, prayer. We should pray earnestly and constantly asking God to help us to suffer, to console us. or if it pleases Him. to deliver us from suffering. This is all, all important.

A very eminent doctor, in an able article he recently published in the secular press, says that "Prayer is the greatest power in the world."

He says, "I and my colleagues frequently see that many of our patients, whom we have failed to cure or whose pains we have failed to alleviate, have cured themselves by prayer. I speak now not of the prayers of holy people, but the prayers of ordinary Christians."

We should above all pray to Our Lady of Sorrows in all our troubles. We should ask her, by the oceans of sorrow she felt during the Passion of Our Lord, to help us.

God gave her all the immense graces necessary to make her the perfect Mother of God, but He also gave her all the graces, the tenderness, the love necessary to be our most perfect and loving Mother. No mother on earth ever loved a child as Our Blessed Lady loves us. Therefore, in all our troubles and sorrows, let us go to Our Blessed Lady with unbounded confidence.

PENANCE

We must all do penance for our sins. If we do not, we shall have long years of suffering in the awful fires of Purgatory. This fire is just the same as the fire of Hell.

Now, if we offer our sufferings the very little ones as well as the greater ones-in union with the sufferings of Jesus Christ, we are doing the easiest and best penance we can perform. We may thus deliver ourselves entirely from Purgatory, While at the same time gaining the greatest graces and blessings.

Let us remember clearly that:

1) Sufferings come from God for our benefit.

2) When we are in the state of grace, we derive immense merit from every suffering borne patiently, even the little sufferings of our daily lives.

3) God will give us abundant strength to bear our sufferings if we only ask Him.

4) If we bear our sufferings patiently, they lose their sting and bitterness.

5) Above all, every suffering is a share in the Passion of Our Lord.

6) By our sufferings, we can free ourselves in great part, or entirely, from the pains of Purgatory.

7) By bearing our sufferings patiently, we win the glorious crown of martyrdom.

Of course, we may do all in our power to avoid or lessen our sufferings, but we cannot avoid all suffering. Therefore, it is clearly necessary for us to learn how to bear them.

In a word, we must understand clearly that if we remain calm, serene and patient, suffering loses all its sting, but the moment we get excited, the smallest suffering increases a hundred fold.

It is just as if we had a sore arm or leg and rubbed it violently; it would become irritated and painful; whereas, if we touch it gently, we soothe the irritation.

We suffer from ill-health, from pains, headaches, rheumatism, arthritis, from accidents, from enemies. We may have financial difficulties. Some suffer for weeks in their homes, some in hospitals or nursing homes. In a word, we are in a vale of tears. Almighty God could have saved us from all suffering, but He did not do so because He knows in His infinite goodness that suffering is good for us.

HOW TO BEAR SUFFERING

Even the greater sufferings that may fall to our share from time to time become easy to bear if we accept them with serenity and patience. What really makes suffering difficult to bear is our own impatience,our revolt, our refusal to accept it. This irritation increases our sufferings a hundred fold and, besides, robs us of all the merit we could have gained thereby.

We see some people pass through a tempest of suffering with the greatest calm and serenity; whereas, others get irritated at the slightest annoyance or disappointment. We can all learn this calm and patience. It is the secret of happiness.

An eminent physician, in a conference which he gave to distinguished scientists and fellow doctors, told them that he owed all his great success in life to the simple fact that he had corrected his habit of impatience and annoyance, which had been destroying all his energy and activity.

Everyone, we repeat, without exception, can learn this calm and serenity.

GOD ALWAYS GIVES STRENGTH TO BEAR OUR SUFFERINGS

Thirdly, when God gives us any suffering, He always gives us strength to bear it, if we only ask Him. Many, instead of asking for His help, get excited and revolt. It is this excitement and impatience that really make suffering hard to bear.

Consider that we are now speaking of all suffering, even the most trifling ones. All of us have little troubles, pains, disappointments, every day of our lives. All these, if borne for love of God, obtain for us, as we have said, the greatest rewards.

SUFFERING IS THE GOLD IN OUR LIVES

Secondly, if we accept the suffering He sends us and offer them in union with His sufferings, we receive the greatest rewards. Five minutes' suffering borne for love of Jesus is of greater value to us than years and years of pleasure and joy. The Saints tell us that if we patiently bear our sufferings, we merit the crown of martyrdom.

Moreover, suffering borne patiently brings out all that is good in us. Those who have suffered are usually the most charming people.

If we bear these facts clearly in mind, it certainly' becomes much easier to suffer.

SUFFERING IS NOT THE EVIL WE THINK IT IS

First of all, then, suffering is not simply an evil, for no one suffered more than the Son of God Himself, more than His Blessed Mother or more than the Saints. Every suffering comes from God. It may appear to come to us by chance or accident or from someone else, but in reality, every suffering comes to us from God. Nothing happens to us without His wish or permission. Not even a hair falls from our heads without His consent.

Why does God allow us to suffer? Simply because He is asking us to take a little share in His Passion. What appears to come by chance or from someone else always comes because God allows it.

Every act in Our Lord's Life was a lesson for us. The greatest act in His life was His Passion. This, then, is the greatest lesson for us. It teaches us that we too must suffer.

God suffered all the dreadful pains of His Passion for each one of us. How can we refuse to suffer a little for love of Him?

by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, O.P.


Suffering is the great problem of human life. We all have to suffer. Sometimes small sorrows, sometimes greater ones fall to our share. We shall now tell our readers how to avoid much of this suffering, how to lessen all suffering and how to derive great benefits from every suffering we may have to bear.

The reason why suffering appears so hard is that, first of all, we are not taught what suffering is. Secondly, we are not taught how to bear it. Thirdly, we are not taught the priceless value of suffering.

This is due to the incomprehensible neglect on the part of our teachers.

It is surprising how easily some people bear great sufferings; whereas, others get excited even at the smallest trouble.

The simple reason is that some have been taught all about suffering; others have not.

Thank Goodness for Michael Ligalig for creating this website, which is a product of his lonely hours when he was a student-teacher in Thailand. Because of him, this forum was born. And has been a source of information and communication for thousands of BOL-ANONS, fellow BISDAKS, and PINOYS from other parts of the PHILIPPINES.

For that, Thank You, Mike.

Mao ba?

I found this website back in 2007 through a email I got from Fiel Angeli Gabin. I found this web site , read some posts, and I decided to register to get in touch with my "Boholano Roots".

I've met good people here. Through Tubag Bohol, I was able to meet in person Fr. Roel Lungay, who is a missionary priest. And whom I am proud to call a good friend. Through this web site, I was able to communicate with some relatives, and make new friends.



Tubag Bohol is my virtual home. I love this place.

Bohol Chronicle

He slept on a desk outside a closed restaurant, on a stool in a 24-hour bread store, his back against the corner wall or face down and flat on the snack counter or table, or on a bench beside a seated tired balot vendor at Plaza Rizal - and then woke up in each following early morning for school.

All these he used to do, and had more often done since class opening last year, without supper and breakfast.

His demeaning homelessness, chilly nights and knifing hunger in Tagbilaran City where he studies seem pre-destined to shatter the dream of Virgilio Linaza Bucia to get a college degree and, hopefully, rise from rooted poverty.

His only benefit today from being a child of poor parents in upland barangay Sto. Rosario in Antequera is his being accepted as a striver and working first year student of the University of Bohol because of it.

But the student is far too motivated, even as aggressive as a fool.

Bucia is taking up aircraft maintenance, a choice of course that could suggest the poor young man's faithful aspiration for a "takeoff' from poverty ground that has ever since held his family in economic indignity.

He is the second in a brood of nine. His father, Rogelio, a high school undergraduate and a former barangay tanod, has since been jobless while his mother, Anaclita, of only elementary education, presently works as a housemaid in the city.
         
Bucia can possibly avail of assistance through the Educational Subsidy Program of the administration of Gov. Edgar Chatto, himself a champion of education for the poor, who is bent on implementing it this year.

In a chance exclusive interview, Bucia confided that he managed to finish his elementary studies in their place despite their hand-to-mouth existence, subsisting on bananas, paw, which is a root crop, and little rice, if any.

He had stopped schooling after his sixth elementary year.

At age nine and despite his lean physical build, he already learned to climb coconut trees, assisting his father hired and paid to harvest matured nuts. The eldest child of the family is a girl. He is the second child and eldest son.

Bucia so valued education that he decided to enroll in first year at the Cogon Night High School in the city while working at daytime as a maintenance boy of a spa clinic at a monthly wage of P1,500.

To his misfortune, his employer closed business, forcing the boy to quit schooling again without finishing his freshman year in high school.

Bucia went home and assisted his family in whatever lowly yet decent means of earning, including making bamboo furniture out of raw skills honed by necessity.

Having a little saving from sold bamboo chairs, tables or cabinets, which would usually took time in the absence of purchase order, or no capital at all to buy new materials was alone disheartening.

Hope could spring eternal for Bucia so that in 2008 he took and passed the test for Alternative Learning System (ALS) for Accreditation and Equivalency, entitling him to an automatic full completion of high school education.

In other words, he could already eligibly enroll in college. Only his elder sister has so far actually graduated from high school. He is the "second" in their family.

But still because of utter financial handicap, Bucia stayed home and had to lead his younger brothers and sisters in helping their parents meet their daily survival needs.

STEEL RESOLVE

After all the years he failed to spend in school since graduating from elementary and quitting from high school, Bucia, this time already 25, resolved unto himself to enter college at UB as a striver last year.

Safekeeping his few personal belongings inside his striver's locker at the school, Bucia would roam around rather purposefully in the city after classes and school chores.

He could not rent a bedspace, much less a room, so he had to spend some evening time in a yet open restaurant, a store, bakery or at Plaza Rizal until his tired body - and empty belly - would force him to rest.

The student would thus sleep, even in sitting, wherever his bare feet led him to in the dying night.

Already married, his elder sister and her husband rent a small room in the city but which can no longer accommodate additional occupant because of their two children, plus Bucia's younger sister who tends to the kids at daytime while studying at the Cogon Night High School.

His elder sister happens to be presently working in Kuwait as a domestic helper, but Bucia understands that she already has her own family - and obligations to her husband and children not just for now but long, long years yet to come.

Besides, she will not keep renting a little space for her family if she has enough earning now, according to her brother. The fact that she also supports their younger sister is enough for Bucia to be grateful and happy for them.

There were countless times when Bucia only had to eat a small amount of bread before his roofless sleep, without even a thin blanket to cover his body from biting colds and insects.

How he had secured himself from blood-hardening and flesh-trembling colds during the recent weeks of phenomenal rainfalls is another tale of the poor, pathetic student's endurance - an "immunity" by poverty - not to mention the danger posed by gangsters, drug addicts and other social misfits as well as lawless elements.

Bucia would just bring with him his bag containing his class things so that he could readily study whenever he would be and readily get to his class in the morning, at many times without supper and breakfast.

In rare instances, which could happen even only once a week, he would secretly take his bath inside the school when he had still time.

When the last precious cent of his few pesos had been spent, the student would get home in Antequera, earning hard money from bamboo crafts not just to help support his family but for his school needs, too.

He has also younger siblings in elementary grades now.

GOD IS KIND

For the determined poor student and model son, God was so kind to him that He used no less than one of his teachers, whom he identified as Michael Van Reyes, His instrument to reward his suffering.

The triumph of human spirit told in the daily - and nightly - hardships of his student had come to be known to his mentor who, in turn, recounted it to a friend named Vincent Rey Rasonabe, a former aeronautics student, and his wife Nancy.

Just early last week, Reyes personally brought along with him Bucia to the house of Rasonabe near the Montessori School along Butalid Street, this city, where the student is now temporarily staying with his friend couple and their two children.

Meanwhile, about a month ago, a young man asked the parents of Rasonabe, Jun and Sally, in Aliguay, Maribojoc if they could allow him to cut and use their bamboo trees for furniture livelihood.

Overwhelmed by mercy on the needy, the couple, who has another son (elder brother of Vincent) who is an SVD priest named Fr. Roberto "Mario/Obet" Rasonabe, granted the young man's want without any money in return.

The young man turned out to be a brother of the student now fostered in the city by the son of the Rasonabe couple in Maribojoc.

They all came to know this twist of event only when Bucia was brought by the son Rasonabe to Maribojoc on the occasion of his father's birthday last February 21, exactly during which the celebrant's missionary priest son surprisingly arrived from Papua New Guinea.

Bucia really needs help - far more than this story can all suggest - to finish his college study and someday offer his parents and younger sisters and brothers "even a little comfort in life."

He yielded to this exclusive interview on a wish that his fellow poor Boholano students may be inspired by his suffering and hard work, and that those who come from families that can more than afford may not end up as frustrations to their parents. (Ven rebo Arigo)

For those who want to  help Mr. Busyo, maybe we can set up an anonymous fund program where we can donate funds to a reliable source and have him or her give the funds directly to Mr. Busyo. We need to identify the point person we can give the funds to.

I personally recommend we ask Mike Ligalig be the point of contact because I know that Mike is a very reliable person. Plus, Mike has connections with Tagbilaran's media and that can a powerful tool for us to ensure any funds will go directly to Mr. Busyo.

Mr. Busyo, please know that we do empathize for your situation. May God Bless you....!

Are you looking for peace?
There are three commandments:

Do unto others what you want
them to do unto you.

But what if others do unto me what
I do not want them to do unto me?

Follow the second rule.
Thou shalt forgive.

But what if it becomes perpetual
or a threat to my existence?

Find an answer to this question.
Have I been my brother's keeper?

If your answer is negative
then go by the third rule.
Thou shalt be thy brother's keeper.

If your answer is affirmative
then I'm a shadow.
Better, not search for me.

Set me free that I might dance
Despite life's fickle circumstance,
And all that narcissism craves
Shall be surrendered to the grave.
And in that twilight resurrected
Find all love and mercy mine

Though doubts and darkness draw me near
Faith and hope give wy to fear
Let not the truth of love's pure light
Be swallowed up into the night.
Of death's foul lies make me the wise
That I may ne'er suspect you were a dream.

Next time, next month, next year, or wait another ten
(We used to plan our dreams so carefully)
Put off our hearts true deeds, until another then
(But for today to wait so silently)
Trust not our words to ought but ink and pen

it is - as fleeting as a simple blink,
and when
- our lives are gone
it is - without a second chance,
a simple end
- what's done is done

Waste no more of life's precious blood
planning to live your dreams another day

For this one moment love and sing and fast
for who knows which fine day will be our last
which words of wisdom can bring us back our past
“a way a lone a loved a long a last”

Reality:

With the over-use of government subsidies such as MEDICAID, hospitals are forced to deny patients care. What really amazes me is that many people don't know that Obama wants to take $700 Billion from Medicare to fund his OBAMACARE, which translates in a reduction of federal funding for Medicare, which is a government  health program that covers elderly citizens over the age of 65 or those who are mentally or physically impaired. This will affect millions of elderly citizens who depend solely on medicare for their medication needs and hospital visitations.

What about the millions of Americans who are mentally ill or are born with cognitive disorders-- and are solely dependent on medicare for their health needs? By removing $700 Billion from Medicare funding, this translates in millions of the 'AT RISK' population being out of coverage. Many will be left untreated, God forbid, sent to the streets if medicare-dependent community health centers are forced to close...which will happen.

It is a shame that so many are oblivious to this!

A smile that makes one tachycardic...

No, that is Carey as a child.

The unemployment rate during the last months of Bush's administration was 5.5%. The unemployment rate , now, under Obama's administration is 8.3 %.

4 years later, and with the passing of his stimulus package, with the ratification of his so called OBAMACARE, the nation remains economically destitute. Our GNP growth is at a dismal 1.5%.

It is an economic catastrophe.

It is naivete for one to believe that the current president will be firm with the Chinese when his administration has endorsed the selling of American bonds to Chinese banks to fund his so called "stimulus package" which did nothing to stimulate anything. The unemployment rate in the country remains at 8.3%, and over 29 million Americans remain unemployed, and 50 some million are still under welfare. We have, effectively, become a welfare state under this current administration.

So, please, before you say anything about Romney, understand that the United States under the Obama administration sold $1.2 Trillion in bonds to the Chinese.

When i had a break up with a love, the best therapy for me was going out and being around people. I dated ladies of similar interests and just enjoyed their company. Nothing sensual related, just being around them, laughing and enjoying the pleasures of company -- a much needed refreshment to the soul.

Lo and behold, the sadness of a break up was sedated, i healed, stress was relieved, and I was able to experience joy again.

It is in loving that we love...and feel loved in return.

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again.
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me.

Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth.
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say My love! why sufferest thou?

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again.
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Jenneth,

Sometimes, in our anxiety, we tend to be overcome by stress. My dearest friend, I ask you to take a moment of your time and sit in quiet prayer. Ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray for you and to help you during such stressful moments. There were moments in my life, my dear, when I was so stressed that I could not even sleep for 2 days straight. Even when the body was already tired. In moments like these, prayer solves what even medicine cannot fathom or comprehend. Surrender your anxiety to God, Jenneth.

I hope you are doing well. I will pray for you.

By the goodness and generous mercy of God, they are all fine. I've been keeping in contact with my two younger brothers...they are safe sa balay. My parents are fine and so is my auntie, uncle and my baby cousin Stephen. Salamat kaayo, Jenneth and everyone for the powerful prayers....!

The towns around us were battered. There are whole towns that are submerged by the seas, and roadways are seriously affected. But for me, i am happy that my family is safe from harm's way. Thanks to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us all continue to pray for others in distress.

Salamat kaayo everyone...for the prayers...Thanks be to God!

Gusto mo uban si ondoy.

Father's firm and constant love for his son.

Child, have you told your mother You Love Her today?

Geysers in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA

Central Park, New York City, USA

He he he, something magical about autumn leaves. Mike, when you get here to USA, you will see. Especially when you walk in Central Park, in New York City. You will love it. The trees that line the park turn colors , and something about the air in New York City...the sights and sounds...its just magical.

What jeans do you prefer Levis , Wrangler or Lee?

If I had to pick out of the three? Sigoro Wrangle.

But I prefer Gap jeans.

I prefer Lee or Dickies. I also have American Eagle pants, better than Lee, Levis or Wrangler.

Good taste, Mike. Mahal ang American Eagle...but lastes really long.

Sure gajod ko mo angay si bai enad ani niya. hehehe.

Kuyaw pod Mike, it is a very beautiful view. Thanks, Mike.

May the Lord God grant rest to Captain Walbridge. Requiem In Pacem!

Happy Birthday, 'day!!

It is impossible to be 'immune' from dealings with China when the economies of both the United States and the People's Republic of China are so intertwined. Case in point the Philippines , which had a former President who was involved in illegal misuse of funds from a Chinese corporation.

Do I see God’s love for me in allowing me to prove my love for Him in the crosses He sent me today?
Have I seen God’s grace to prove my love for Him in every person whom I met today?
Have I failed in charity by speaking unkindly about others?
Have I dwelt on what I considered someone’s unkindness toward me today?
Is there someone that I consciously avoid because I dislike the person?
Did I try to carry on a conversation today with someone who is difficult to talk to?
Have I been stubborn in asserting my own will?
How thoughtful have I been today in doing some small favor for someone?
Have I allowed my mood to prevent me from being thoughtful of others today?

HOPE

Do I immediately say a short prayer when I find myself getting discouraged?
Do I daily say a short act of hope?
Do I dwell on my worries instead of dismissing them from my mind?
Do I fail in the virtue of hope by my attachment to the things of this world?
Do I try to see God’s providence in everything that “happens” in my life?
Do I try to see everything from the viewpoint of eternity?
Am I confident that, with God’s grace, I will be saved?
Do I allow myself to worry about my past life and thus weaken my hope in God’s mercy?
Do I try to combine every fully deliberate action with at least a momentary prayer for divine help?
How often today have I complained, even internally?
