God allows human suffering

God is always allowing man to suffer in order for man to trust more in Him and solidify his faith in Jesus Christ who is the source of everything. Nothing is permanent in this world including suffering. His resurrection is also our hope in the near future to eliminate human sufferings.

THE CATHOLIC CREED

I BELIEVE IN GOD , THE FATHER ALMIGHTY,
CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.
I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD.
HE WAS CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY.
HE SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE,
WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED, AND WAS BURRIED.
HE DESCENDED TO THE DEAD.
ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN.
HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN,
AND IS SEATED THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
HE WILL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH,
THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS,
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,
THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY,
AND THE LIFE EVERLASTING. AMEN.

PSALM 26 ( 27 )

THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY HELP;
WHOM SHALL I FEAR ?
THE LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE;
BEFORE WHOM SHALL I SHRINK ?

WHEN EVIL-DOERS DRAW NEAR TO DEVOUR MY FLESH,
IT IS THEY, MY ENEMIES AND FOES ,
WHO STUMBLE AND FALL.

THOUGH AN ARMY ENCAMP AGAINTS ME
MY HEART WOULD NOT FEAR.
THOUGH WAR BREAK OUT AGAINTS ME
EVEN THEN WOULD I TRUST.

THERE IS ONE THING I ASK OF THE LORD,
FOR THIS I LONG,
TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD,
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,
TO SAVOUR THE SWEETNESS OF THE LORD,
TO BEHOLD HIS TEMPLE.

FOR THERE HE KEEPS ME SAFE IN HIS TENT,
IN THE DAY OF EVIL.
HE HIDES ME IN THE SHELTER OF HIS TENT
ON A ROCK HE SETS ME SAFE.

AND NOW MY HEAD SHALL BE RAISED
ABOVE MY FOES WHO SORROUND ME
AND I SHALL OFFER WITHIN HIS TENT
A SACRIFICE OF JOY.
I WILL SING AND MAKE MUSIC FOR THE LORD.

HONESTY

In buying , do not ask the lowest price that a storekeeper can give , because in doing this , you are only teching him how to cheat .

Domine deus miserere mei

Carry me away
From the dark I fear
When the storm is near
From the endless night
From my blinded sight
To a sky of light
Free me to fly away
Salva me
Carry me away
From the things that harm
On a sea of calm
From my blinded sight
To a sky of light.
LIBERA

LIBERA - FAR AWAY

Wherever I go
Far away and anywhere
Time after time you always shine
through dark of night calling after me
and wherever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high beyond the sky
through stormy night lifting me above.
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu Venite Spiritus
Whenever I cry
Far away and anywhere
Your hear me call when shadowsfall
Your light of hope showing me the way .

WHY ME

I am poor and naked ,O Lord
Living in this valley of tears
You know I am alone and forsaken
to be your companion in the desert .
I said ,why me Jesus ,why me ?
You can find better person than me
But you whisper to me ,I love you
That is why I am happy and true .
Now that I have found you Lord
Even in the troubles and dangers I meet
I trust you and obey your laws
But please understand me and have patience .

The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men . It is not a problem of physics but of ethics . It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man .

MY FAIR FRIEND

Dearest friend you are a summer wind
Which blew its warmest breeze
That the trunks of trees fall , and the birds sing
Where God reveals His presence.
Gathered leaves are burning
Smoke and dust yet pollute the nose
Destructive typhoons are unending
That results in man´s lost of hope .
Life´s precious moment needs a drizzling rain
Where young tender leaves drink and water
Life´s up , life´s down
Hold on dearest friend and give hope .
My dear friend your darkness is teasing
Your light through the stars is a blessing
And the wonder of our heart that beats
is a miracle from my fair friend .

SAYING OF THE DAY

It is difficult to distinguish a mango from a tamarind fruit . The only thing they have in common , is the sourness they produce .
By: Fr. Cesar Daquis Telen

FREE AT LAST

Soaring like an eagle
I look at you tirelessly
with an eyes wide open
Free at last to follow you.
In moments of desiring
I can´t count the blessings you gave
You are great and loving
For you are my refuge and shield .
Free at last to carry the cross
Which you´ve longed that dark Calvary
Which will give us glory someday .
How can I say I´m free
If I live with vanities
These will add my worries
That my poor soul will anguish .
By : Fr. Cesar Daquis Telen

UNCHAINED MYSTERY

Deep-blue tainted sky , complete and fair
Blowing by the most warm-summer breeze
Nature cold and warm
So balanced and calm .
Nurtured by love
Caress with awes and unbelief
Light the lamp in the tunnel of confusion
Mystery then and now no more
Unfathomable deepness of that vast ocean
measured by God´s single hand
Creatures´ miniature goodness
God always provides .
By: Fr.Cesar Daquis Telen

PRAISE HIM

Praise the Lord at all time
Fill the mountains and hills with praise
Sing Him with joyful songs
Alleluia , alleluia .
Open the gate of our heart
Fill with your spirit of love
You are our hope and guiding star
The Lord is good , alleluia .
Praise Him , praise Him , praise Jesus still
He is the savior , Lord and King.
Arise people of God
Blow the trumpets of goodwill to men
Praise Jesus , the Lord and King .

Fr. Cesar Daquis Telen

An honest answer is a sign of friendship

Today , we must desire friendship with God more than anything else . Cultivate the friendship he established to us and take good care of all of his honest answers to our daily stupid questions .
