St.Augusitine writing Confessions

While remembering all his youthful follies, he remembers how God's unfarthomable grace has been a shield for him, how grace leads to discover his faith into Three in One God.

Divine Illumination

St: Augustine receive divine illumination from Jesus the Son of God and Mary, the mother of Jesus, enlightening him while he is writing his discourse.

St.MONICA and St.AUGUSTINE at Ecstacy at Ostia

Two saints, mother and son receive a vision of heaven at Ostia, near Rome. It was the last moment of the two being together, looking heaven ward, and later St.Monica died and was buried there.

Seminarians on the wall.

With co-seminarians, where trying to escape the scourging sunlight, sitting on the fence and keeping ourselves calm with jokes.

Rosary Garden at Tabor Hill, Talamban

A place of prayer and peace, a place of love and charity where being together with the mother of our Divine Lord, and recitation of Holy Rosary knocks the doors of Heaven.

A PRAYER OF ST. AMBROSE BEFORE COMMUNION

A PRAYER OF ST. AMBROSE BEFORE COMMUNION         

       I beg of you, O Lord, by this most holy mystery of Your Body and Blood, with which You daily nourish us in Your Church, that we may be cleansed and sanctified and made sharers in Your divinity. Grant to me Your holy virtues, which will enable me to approach Your altar with a clean conscience, so that this heavenly Sacrament may be a means of salvation and life to me, for You Yourself have said: “I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” 


           Most Sweet Bread, heal my heart, that I may taste the sweetness of Your love. Heal it from all weakness, that I may enjoy no sweetness but You. Most pure Bread, containing every delight which ever refreshes us, may my heart consume You and may my soul be filled with Your sweetness. Holy Bread, living Bread, perfect Bread, that has come down from heaven to give life to the world, come into my heart and cleanse me from every stain of body and soul. Enter into my soul; heal and cleanse me completely. Be the constant safeguard and salvation of my soul and body. Guard me from the enemies who lie in wait. May they flee from the protecting presence of Your power, so that, armed in soul and body by You, I may safely reach Your Kingdom. 

             There we shall see You, not as now as in mysteries, but face to face, when You will deliver the Kingdom to God the Father, and will reign as God over all. Then You, who with the same God the Father and the Holy Spirit, live and reign forever, will satisfy the hunger of my soul perfectly with Yourself, so that I shall neither hunger nor thirst again. Amen.

Some Thoughts Though by Some....

Let Us Put On God everyday....

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person in a certain set of attitudes.
                               (Hugh Downs) 

    Eight ways to be humble yourself

  1. Look for the best in people.
  2. Give sincere compliments.
  3. Be quick to admit your mistakes.
  4. Be the first one to apologize for an argument.
  5. Admit your limitations and needs.
  6. Serve others.
  7. Learn something new- a new skill, language, sport, or hobby.
  8. Give God the credit for anything. Give thank to God for everything. 


      Difficulty is not obstacle. It is opportunity to mature in life. Obstacles are for overcoming.
Why does God allow troubles?
For he sees the benefits. 
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
                                                                             (Helen Keller)
 

All things work together for good. (Rom 8:28) 
For through difficulties I have found myself, my work and my God.
                                                                                    (Helen Keller) 


What you want is not always what you need.
God never fails to grant our petitions, so keeping on going for him without doubting or murmuring. Remember that God always does things right.
Life is short but everlasting value; it contains the seed of eternity.
                                                                       (St. Francis de Sales) 


Why are we on earth?
We are on earth to serve God and by serving him to gain eternal happiness in heaven. To serve God we must have faith, keep the commandments and receive the holy sacraments and pray.
May God bless you always!
  I Say, You Say, They say, so so...

A Prayer of Henry Cardinal John Newman

A Prayer of John Henry Cardinal Newman

John Henry Cardinal Newman

God created me
to do him some definite service;
he has committed some work to me
which he has not committed to another.

I have my mission -
I may never know it in this life,
but I shall be told it in the next...
Therefore, I will trust him...
If I am in sickness,
my sickness may serve him;
in perplexity,
my perplexity may serve him;
if I am in sorrow,
my sorrow may serve him...
He does nothing in vain;
he may prolong my life,
he may shorten it,
he knows what he is about.
