ST. THERESE    OF THE CHILD  JESUS

The Lay Women Missionaries spent a day of silence and prayer on the occasion of the Feast of St. Therese . On that occasion also 7 members of the LWM made their yearly commitment to the mission. Fr. Lauro of the Society of Mary journey with them as recollection master. Our spiritual guide Fr. Lauro, SM led us to reflect   the beauty and wonder of a rose. A bunch of roses are all roses bunch each one has unique features and beauty that can bring to the world. Its beauty and goodness shine not of its own making but because of the of power , love and care of the gardener.  In same way, missionaries shares, shine and gives color and beauty to the world because of the love of God in them.

Mission is not of doing work in far or near areas but of making order things in the place where you are.

These missionaries renew their commitment to answer and share the missionary activity of the church in the place where they work. Many of them work with natives in the mountains and were missionary partners of the PME Fathers.

Three Movements in Life's Journey

 It is said that, ” life is journey”. In a journey we usually take different movements. These movements has to be balanced for us to enjoy the journey and become a precious moment.

The first movement is the Sitting Moment.

This is the very moment where you are. What are the sitting moment of our lives? This is moment where one will find him/herself. Know where are this time? Where are your going? What harbors in your mind and heart?

Second is Kneeling.

Upon knowing where we are, our feelings, thoughts and looking all the demands of life, we are invited and encourage to kneel. Kneeling moment is a praying moment. Do you find time to pray? Bring your agenda to your

Creator and listen to Him.

The third movement is the Walking Movement.

Life is more meaningful if it has a sense of others not minding their business but of minding what can you share with them. Service is a love acted upon. Living a life with a sense of mission. These three movements help us live a more meaningful  and beautiful life. Beware of the danger ! That is magnifying one and depreciating the other. It has  to be balanced.

PS. Know the Desire of your Heart.  Surely, your heart will guide you  http://myownmission.blogspot.com/2011/05/hearts-desire.htm

It started last July 1, 2011 that Davao City strictly complied Republic Act 9003. Davao City residents segregated their waste categorically ; BIODEGRADABLE , RECYCLABLE  RESIDUAL

and SPECIAL WASTES.

People pf Davao is now so conscious where to put their waste. Thanks for the strict implementation of the law.

It made us more becoming law abiding. That's fantastic.

Waste segregation will make us also creative and resourceful and surely even it is only a waste but could help people augment themselves financially because the Special Wastes are sell-able.like cans, battery, destroyed appliances. 

 Biodegradable can be turned into organic fertilizer. How? Vermi's knows this well for worms  would help mother earth becoming rich again.

We started a good practice this time that will cycle into a good harvest in the future.

P.S. Further inquiry with regards of Vermi Culture that would help

Justified Anger

 Subscribe in a reader

The Lady mayor of Davao City rest for a while after throwing punches to the daring Shrief  who thought he could man a cool demolition. Demolition always a tense situation. In the standard of the society throwing of punches of someone in authority is un ethical , but we can understand each one has a limitation. One can do it to abuse power and one can do it to exercise and to protect the good of majority. If we are going to trace  hours before it happened Mayor Sara was so busy personally monitoring the victims of floods in the city of Davao and asked thru Sheriff to wait her that she could personally witness the demolition and facilitate the residents of the area.  Here comes demolition started and chaos follows. Surely the mayor was not able to maintain her composure upon loojing the situation. Surely that demolition will turn into bloody if Mayor Sara  failed to come.

Was it evil or a virtue? The newly installed president of ADDU says, 
While it “would have been nicer" if the mayor did not attack Andres, Duterte-Carpio’s actions were correct because they were done “in defense of the people," Tabora said.   http://www.gmanews.tv

“When anger is provoked by wrong, anger is not only justified, it is a virtue," said newly-installed Ateneo de Davao University president Joel Tabora, S.J. http://www.gmanews.tv
