Being Jesus the husband & daddy
This morning, I read about 6 young women & their quest to serve God in

I ‘ve heard of a family whose teenage daughter would go into a prayerful trance neither eating, sleeping nor doing anything else for hours, even days. The family is keeping it quiet & understandably so. And I’ve met people whom I or others consider saintly: a pastor - Fr. McGreedy, a novice master - Fr. Cogliandro, a CEO of Fiat & a Carmelite nun. There’s an aura, a refreshing joy, a deep & constant serenity about them. It must be the transforming union with God referred to in spiritual theology.
What’s cool about it is that everyone is meant to be filled with God – maybe in that way or another. When I sought how, Fr. Cogliandro, shared with me what the Lord told a perturbed Salesian sister in a vision. “Live the present moment with love” was the Lord’s counsel to her. And since I tend to pick up on the weird stuff (like St. Francis stripping), he suggested that I be “extraordinarily ordinary.” It does not mean to be mediocre but rather, to be holy in an unnoticeable way by fulfilling my duties with great diligence.
I think this still holds true even now. If I can be so united with Jesus, then that will be the best thing that I can be & do for my wife & kids as is written in John 17:19 “And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy. “
May the Queen of all saints pray for the graces that we need to be saints today.

Watching the watchers - vigilance in youth orginazations
Last Tuesday, I attended a mandatory seminar entitled “Protecting God’s Children” because I am going to participate in my parish’s CCD program. There were tapes about pedophiles revealing their trade secrets. It alerted me on the need for vigilance even in church organized activities & groups.

Mental prayer - drab at first but awesome later
Last night, I managed to get a half-way decent mental prayer – or meditation. I went to my blog site & clicked on the Mass Readings. I just listened to them because it was too drab to read.
So, I struggle to make something out of this exercise. After listening to the word & nothing’s flowing, I resort to techniques.

During my practical training, I was assigned in an island of sugar cane plantations where the land owners traveled
I think that liberation theologians could have come up with a better way to help the indigent without piggy-backing on an atheistic ideology if they read the God's Word instead of the newpaper, celebrated Mass with reverence, adored the Blessed Sacrament & respected their bishops. Afterall,. killing off one's rich siblings to distribute their wealth is still forbidden by God. (Cfr the 5th & 7th from the. Decalogue.)
Here's an official commentary & judgment on Liberation theology:

Flew in by mistake
Sweet lemonade
I now drive his Corolla that we bought together to remind myself that I did take care of him when I had time. I feel that I could have done more, but it’s too late.
