Reflection on Christmas Season


Jesus has come and we celebrate His coming on Christmas. When we celebrate Christmas do we limit ourselves in remembering only the birth of Jesus? Jesus did not remain as a child. He grew up and taught us what is really to LOVE  which is the essence and message of  CHRISTMAS.


On Christmas, do we remember the HUNGRY?
On Christmas, do we remember the poor?
On Christmas, do we see the baby Jesus in the sick and the aged?
On Christmas, do we remember the outcast people in our society?
On Christmas, do we remember the prisoners?


Do you want  to give gifts to Jesus? Do you want to do something good to Jesus on this Christmas? Jesus said in the gospel," whenever you do to the least of my followers, you do it unto me".

MY FIRST COMMUNION

When was that?  Sorry I could not remember exactly the date. What is clear to me  at my adult age this time is the experience of receiving Jesus in my life. Before receiving Him, I encountered and loving presence of Jesus  the sacrament   reconciliation and then the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. It was an of experience of sacredness. I really felt the holy presence of God at that very moment

Today on this 30th. day of November the  grade 3 pupils of the Holy Cross of Davao College Grade School Department receive Jesus in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. I do believe also that  these young beys ad girls feel the holy and loving presence of Jesus on their First Holy Communion.

During the celebration of the Holy Mass the children joyfully professed their faith and boldly rejected Satan . They also stood up for what they understand. They fully understood that Jesus is the food of their soul as little members of the Church.

The children sung beautifully the songs during the Mass presided by Fr. Arnel Tadeo with Msgr. Julius Rodulfa the school president .The venue adds to the solemnity if the celebration the Sta, Ana Shrine of Davao City.

What we Ought To Be

Human being conduct what what we call human conduct. Observed to what is ought to be by the reason of what he is. Precisely he act differently to lower animals though science categorize him as an animals . A dog may carry his foot upon urinating but a person doesn't behave that way. He has an intellect and will. Man has the capacity to understand what is right and wrong and with the light of revelation he is gifted to choose right and good. Why ? Because man is GOOD. Man is not good only because he has so much capabilities. He is good because he is created good. As created good he ought to be good.

Why there are lot of badness around? Because often times s we choose to become one. Doing something opposite to goodness trapt us to think it is pleasurable. So sad it is just momentarily happiness. Bad action would compound and lead one to another bad action, feeling and would lead us to miserable.


Sometimes we think and become envy to people doing immoral acts. Seemingly they are successful and enjoy so much goodness in life. Pause for a minute! Are they really happy and at peace?


By discovering the source of good who is also the source the of life would bring us to choose what is good. For life has a purpose of what ought to be. Live life with a sense mission.


PS. By discovering the source of good who is also the source the of life would bring us to choose what is good. For life has a purpose of what ought to be

UNKNOWN TO OTHERS BUT KNOWN TO GOD

Many who journey and passed this life whose name are not listed in book of saints in our church but listed in the hearts and mind to people  who was touched by their example nary life. They are saints unknown to many but known to the few and to God Himself. They became saints not because they are blameless. These people commits sins in their lives like you and me. Why they became saints? Whey God open His kingdom for them? One of the many reasons why they became saints because as they struggle against many odds in life they fully understood and believe that God really loved them without any reservation and expectation. And these love of God in them permeates in their lives and they allow God to make miracle in their struggle. A midst of these struggle moving towards God there were few who have witnessed them. But many also who struggled for Gods glory were never seen and recognized but God recognize them as they silently  trust and believe God in their hearts and make an effort to follow His Will. 

You and I can never be perfect by our own ways and effort, but we have the assurance that God is perfect and will make us perfect through His son Jesus who gave up His body,  shed His blood for our perfection. Ours .... is just accept and believe. And live according to His grace.

We remember them today in this Feast of All Saints.
