There is an old Greek play in which a young man is passionately devoted to the goddess Artemis, daughter of Zeus. When this strong and courageous young man is mortally wounded you expect the goddess to come down to comfort him in his dying moments. She does come down from Mount Olympus, and she sees the death sweat on his face, and she hears the death rattle in his throat. With tears in her eyes she explains that no one from Mount Olympus can bear to see mortals die. Whereupon she turns and aban…

Last night I watched the correspondents episode entitled urbanisasyong paurong.And as I watched it,I am hoping na sana marami din ang nanunuod nun.Dahil it brings awareness.Practically speaking,nagsink na talaga yung most areas that were affected by typhoons ondoy and pepeng.It could've been avoided since there was a better plan made 32 years ago for the laguna lake not to overflow to its underlying cities in case of continuous rainfalls just like what happened. Unfortunately,that plan wasn't im…

This feast celebrates the birth of the most important woman in the history of the world. We know that her birth brought to the very eyes of all the Predestined Woman who was to be the Mother of Jesus, Saviour of the World. Joachim and Anne, her parents, also honored as saints as are Elizabeth and Zachary her cousins. Talk about a holy family!! There are many people in our families and dear friends too who are holy also. They constantly bring us good and lift us up to God. God made all of us like…

A woman named Corrie Ten Boom tells this story in her book, "The Hiding Place." It took place during the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis. She relates an incident which taught her a very important principle. She and her sister, Betsy had been captured by the Nazis for helping the Jews. They had just been transferred to Ravensbruck, the worst German prison camp they had seen. Upon entering the barracks, they found them extremely overcrowded and flea infested. Their Scripture reading that morn…

In the musical play "Camelot" that was the place to live if you wanted happiness and joy. By decree of King Arthur, the weather was pleasant at all times, with the seasons timed to the conversion and comfort of the people. Maidens and children walked the streets without fear of assault. Hunger and poverty were unknown, with all the community sharing the wealth of the land. It was the perfect kingdom, at least for a while. For eventually everything went wrong: the Queen fell in love with King Art…

Hi, I went to SRCS for only up to my second year. I would have graduated with the 1991 batch, but I had to move. I was wondering if anyone here were from any of my class? Gosh. I wish I could remember my class section. I think it was Properity or was it Patience? Well, anyway. I'm avidly looking for my old best friend. We sadly lost touch of each other. Her name is Gemini Campos.
I'm hoping some or at least one of you would be able to shed some light on my search for.
Thanks a million!

While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft. Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, "Are there any gators around here?" "Naw," the man hollered back, "Ain't been any for years!" Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming toward the shore. As he got closer to the shore he shouted to the guy again "What did you do to get rid of the gators?" "We didn't do…

what is homesick?
is this what you feel when your sick at home?
is it what you feel when your home and sick?
well what ever it is, i surely believe that one point in their life people will endure this.
is there any remedy for this?
oh how i wish that you can just go to a pharmacy and buy yourself a bottle of medicine for homesickness.
but apparently, there is no such thing as a medicine for homesickness.
what we can do is to fill our heads and hearts with something that can distract us out of t…

I often sympathize with the priest in this story about a man about to be executed by hanging. As he approached the scaffold they asked him if he wanted to say a few words to the crowd gathered before him. He replied that he did not want to speak. Well, they asked him if his parish priest might say a few words on his behalf. "OK," grunted the man, "but please hang me first. I've been listening to this little man's terrible homilies for the past 15 years. Spare me now!"
You know, Jesus, I sometim…

One of the nicest stories I've come across in a long time concerns a man who through no fault of his own lost two jobs in the space of a single year. Then he lost his third job. He came home and told his wife and three small sons the bad news: "I've lost my job again." The wife comforted him the best she could. The three boys simply stared at him without saying anything. The next morning the man awoke after his three boys had left for school. He went downstairs. In the wastebasket were the remai…

A man tells this story. When his little daughter's dog, Sierra, died, he patiently explained to her that Sierra was now in heaven with God and enjoying all the other animals. One night, he was next to her as she said her prayers before going to bed. In a steady voice the girl prayed: "Dear God, there's a dog up there with you named Sierra. Well, she's my dog, and I want her back!"
Jesus, I think I know how that little girl felt. A loved one dies, and we miss them. I feel like praying: "Dear God…

It was Trinity Sunday, and a Religious Education teacher had invited the pastor to her first grade class. She asked the class: "Class, can anyone tell me what feast we are celebrating today?" Many hands went up, and one kid said "Trinity Sunday." The teacher said "that's right." Then she asked: "Can anyone tell me what the Trinity is?" A little girl said: "There is one God in three Divine Persons." Now the pastor was quite impressed and said: "Great answer. Now tell us what that means?" The litt…

Whenever I celebrate Sunday Mass at parishes, I look out at the people congregated there and ask myself the question: "Why are they here?" I recall the story of a family that received a Thanksgiving Day card with a painting of a Pilgrim family as they were walking toward a church. The mother was showing her children the nice card and explained that the Pilgrim children liked to celebrate Thanksgiving Day by attending church with their parents. One of her skeptical children asked his mom, "Well,…

A little boy was always stealing things and mama took him everywhere to get help but nothing worked. Finally, she took Johnny to the pastor. She sat in the outer room while Johnny went into the pastor's office. The pastor talked to Johnny, but the kid was unresponsive. In desperation the pastor figured he would impress upon the boy the God sees everything that he does, so he asked "Johnny, do you know where God is?" The boy jumped out of his chair, ran to his mother, looked at her and yelled, "I…

A man was walking through a crowded parking lot outside the mall, going to his car when he tripped and fell flat on his face. As he was lying there, a woman stopped her car and called out, "are you hurt?" "no, I'm fine," he said. "Oh, good," she continued. "Will you be vacating your parking space now?"
Jesus, you asked us to love one another, to practice the virtue of charity. What is love? How do we practice the virtue of charity? First of all, I think you want us to be as aware of the needs o…

The late Erma Bombeck, a wonderful wife, mother and Catholic, once wrote a poem titled "When God created Mothers." In it she describes God's effort to create a "standard model" of a mother as an angel looks on. The standard model must have "a kiss that can cure anything, six pair of hands, three pair of eyes, one pair that sees through closed doors when she asks "what are you kids doing in there?" One pair in the back of her head "that sees what she shouldn't " and one pair in the front that loo…
