Walkway

By | Celebrations, Events and Launches | 8 Comments

Thank you very much to my friend, Tere Del Rosario, for inviting me to Walkway ( Walkway:  Reflections on the Stations of the Cross April 4, 2009)

tereandrica.JPG

I brought my family with me at around 5:30 pm today.  This is the most beautiful and most meaningful Stations of the Cross I have ever been to in my entire life.   Normally we go to church to do the Stations of the Cross but it seems like I can never concentrate because as someone is reading it, we can barely hear as there are other people reading at the same time.  In this one, everyone reads quietly on their own. The writings are short but very meaningful and powerful.If you have the chance to visit, it will be there til Easter Sunday.

    By | Celebrations, Heart Songs | 2 Comments

    Dad found the best words to describe Lolo,  A MAN FOR OTHERS!  All his life, Lolo has been very consistent, loud and clear as being a Man for Others…. a good example to us all.

    “YOU ARE MY HEART AND MY SOUL…MY INSPIRATION!”  

    Happy 88th Birthday!!! We love you Lolo!!!!!

    The Silences of Lent – An Online Retreat

    By | Celebrations, Velada 2012 | 2 Comments

    A week ago, I had the priveledge to join a retreat dsc_9267.jpg

    given by Fr. Johnny Go, Director of Xavier School  dsc_9265.jpg

    to the Assumption Batch ’87

     dsc_9341.jpg

    This same retreat will be available online to everyone around the world….so pass on the message

    n72538577834_5331.jpg

    Too busy or too far away to join a serious and full-blown retreat this Holy Week? 

    All you need is to set aside about 30-45 minutes ANYTIME each day on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, or Black Saturday–at your convenience. Just go to www.jesuits.ph for your Holy Week Online Retreat.dsc_9270.jpg

    Ours is a God of Silence, but He keeps different kinds of silences.dsc_9268.jpg

    And during Lent, more than ever, He is silent. His deepest silences are experienced in the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus. 

    Lent is truly a season full of silences, but the Silence of Gethsemane, the Silence of Calvary, and the Silence of the Empty Tomb–each one is different from the other.dsc_9297.jpg

    Maybe if we understand God’s silences in Lent, we will better understand His silences–and language–in our own lives.

    Come and pray with us over God’s Lenten silences.
