A message from God..

An Act of Generosity

I took this photo last May 22,2011 on our feeding program at Landfill Cagayan de Oro City.... It is such a gratifying and wonderful experienced indeed..

Reckon my thoughts..

We can never own something that was never been ours, and gripping for things we expect to last forever is nonsense. Never expect and never presume everything that will come into our lives, a better way to avoid disappointment and depression. People may come into our paths, but go for sometime. Nothing is constant in this world except the word "Change"..  A lot of changes. Wait instead of seek for things come surprisingly. Live, lough, love. Live life to the fullest. Lough, burst out happiness through it. and Love unconditionally your life,people who loves you even hate you as well.

God planned everything. every individual in this world are pilgrimage of their bright path, You maybe lost on it but assurance has been taken that if you praise Him, He will light up every step you made.

I maybe hurt and afflicted in this moment of time but wounds will heal on a perfect struck of luck. This I reckon my thoughts,.. :(

A smile on the Rain

 

Rainy days always kept me think of comfort specially when the cold wind surrounded the four corners of my room ,, but as the rain drop off the soil I suddenly think of my childhood, the time I am very eager to feel the cold water from the gutter, playing with friends on the rain that drew a smile in every child's face, It seems that rain makes me felt of comfort, the comfort of awareness, that even in a simple way we can make ourselves happy ..   :))

"Lent" Making Room for God

Lent is a special time of prayer, penance, sacrifice and good works in preparation of the celebration of Easter. In the desire to renew the liturgical practices of the Church, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of Vatican Council II stated, "The two elements which are especially characteristic of Lent -- the recalling of baptism or the preparation for it, and penance -- should be given greater emphasis in the liturgy and in liturgical catechesis. It is by means of them that the Church prepares the faithful for the celebration of Easter, while they hear God's word more frequently and devote more time to prayer" (no. 109). The word Lent itself is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words lencten, meaning "Spring," and lenctentid, which literally means not only "Springtide" but also was the word for "March," the month in which the majority of Lent falls.
Since the earliest times of the Church, there is evidence of some kind of Lenten preparation for Easter. For instance, St. Irenaeus (d. 203) wrote to Pope St. Victor I, commenting on the celebration of Easter and the differences between practices in the East and the West: "The dispute is not only about the day, but also about the actual character of the fast. Some think that they ought to fast for one day, some for two, others for still more; some make their 'day' last 40 hours on end. Such variation in the observance did not originate in our own day, but very much earlier, in the time of our forefathers" (Eusebius, History of the Church, V, 24). When Rufinus translated this passage from Greek into Latin, the punctuation made between "40" and "hours" made the meaning to appear to be "40 days, twenty-four hours a day." The importance of the passage, nevertheless, remains that since the time of "our forefathers" -- always an expression for the apostles -- a 40-day period of Lenten preparation existed. However, the actual practices and duration of Lent were still not homogenous throughout the Church.
Lent becomes more regularized after the legalization of Christianity in A.D. 313. The Council of Nicea (325), in its disciplinary canons, noted that two provincial synods should be held each year, "one before the 40 days of Lent." St. Athanasius (d. 373) in this "Festal Letters" implored his congregation to make a 40-day fast prior to the more intense fasting of Holy Week. St. Cyril of Jerusalem (d. 386) in his Catechectical Lectures, which are the paradigm for our current RCIA programs, had 18 pre-baptismal instructions given to the catechumens during Lent. St. Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444) in his series of "Festal Letters" also noted the practices and duration of Lent, emphasizing the 40-day period of fasting. Finally, Pope St. Leo (d. 461) preached that the faithful must "fulfill with their fasts the Apostolic institution of the 40 days," again noting the apostolic origins of Lent. One can safely conclude that by the end of the fourth century, the 40-day period of Easter preparation known as Lent existed, and that prayer and fasting constituted its primary spiritual exercises.
Of course, the number "40" has always had special spiritual significance regarding preparation. On Mount Sinai, preparing to receive the Ten Commandments, "Moses stayed there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights, without eating any food or drinking any water" (Ex 34:28). Elijah walked "40 days and 40 nights" to the mountain of the Lord, Mount Horeb (another name for Sinai) (I Kgs 19:8). Most importantly, Jesus fasted and prayed for "40 days and 40 nights" in the desert before He began His public ministry (Mt 4:2).
Once the 40 days of Lent were established, the next development concerned how much fasting was to be done. In Jerusalem, for instance, people fasted for 40 days, Monday through Friday, but not on Saturday or Sunday, thereby making Lent last for eight weeks. In Rome and in the West, people fasted for six weeks, Monday through Saturday, thereby making Lent last for six weeks. Eventually, the practice prevailed of fasting for six days a week over the course of six weeks, and Ash Wednesday was instituted to bring the number of fast days before Easter to 40. The rules of fasting varied. First, some areas of the Church abstained from all forms of meat and animal products, while others made exceptions for food like fish. For example, Pope St. Gregory (d. 604), writing to St. Augustine of Canterbury, issued the following rule: "We abstain from flesh, meat, and from all things that come from flesh, as milk, cheese and eggs."

Nevertheless, I was always taught, "If you gave something up for the Lord, tough it out. Don't act like a Pharisee looking for a loophole."

Second, the general rule was for a person to have one meal a day, in the evening or at 3 p.m.
These Lenten fasting rules also evolved. Eventually, a smaller repast was allowed during the day to keep up one's strength from manual labor. Eating fish was allowed, and later eating meat was also allowed through the week except on Ash Wednesday and Friday. Dispensations were given for eating dairy products if a pious work was performed, and eventually this rule was relaxed totally. (However, the abstinence from even dairy products led to the practice of blessing Easter eggs and eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.)
Over the years, modifications have been made to the Lenten observances, making our practices not only simple but also easy. Ash Wednesday still marks the beginning of Lent, which lasts for 40 days, not including Sundays. The present fasting and abstinence laws are very simple: On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, the faithful fast (having only one full meal a day and smaller snacks to keep up one's strength) and abstain from meat; on the other Fridays of Lent, the faithful abstain from meat. People are still encouraged "to give up something" for Lent as a sacrifice. (An interesting note is that technically on Sundays and solemnities like St. Joseph's Day (March 19) and the Annunciation (March 25), one is exempt and can partake of whatever has been offered up for Lent.
Nevertheless, I was always taught, "If you gave something up for the Lord, tough it out. Don't act like a Pharisee looking for a loophole." Moreover, an emphasis must be placed on performing spiritual works, like attending the Stations of the Cross, attending Mass, making a weekly holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament, taking time for personal prayer and spiritual reading and most especially making a good confession and receiving sacramental absolution. Although the practices may have evolved over the centuries, the focus remains the same: to repent of sin, to renew our faith and to prepare to celebrate joyfully the mysteries of our salvation.

An Early Morning Fascination

As I woke up in the morning, I've heard my phone ringing so loud, I did not plan to get the phone for the reason that I'm still very sleepy. Yet I was so irritated with the noise that i got it and received the call. It was my guy friend who called.He  gave his apology for calling me. the thing that fascinates me was when he  started to sing my favorite song with his very nice voice. I was surprised.. My irritation turned to a smile. much more when he sang again with his guitar...


that was so sweet for a guy to give his effort singing through the phone in an early morning.... :-) weewh so cute....

Road of Happiness

A  fresh year for a new start. Opening the 2011 with serenity of heart and mind. Forgiving the people who hurt us and forgetting the painful experiences we had encountered. Moving on and letting go, a part of getting over the gray shades of one's life. Giving time with yourself and giving time with the things that could make you smile and stay that smile as you open another door of challenges and learnings in life. We don't have to hassle ourselves of thoughts that could trigger us into loneliness as well as we don't have to complicate ourselves with unnecessary things. We just have to follow the better path with our feet moving towards it rather than our mouth who just talks but nothing have done. Lets go on! walk and look for the road of happiness this 2011.

 

I want to become a yellow round...!!!! whose smiling in front of me..

Would you still love me if i'm deadly? ahahaha

Someone you could call real..
