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.

ACTION SPEAKS BETTER THAN WORDS

" All humans are dead except those who have knowledge , and all those who have knowledge are asleep , except those who do good deeds , and those who do good deeds are deceived , except those who are sincere ".

Imam Shafi

In this Lenten Season , God is inviting us to pray without ceasing but with sincerity in doing it. Not for obligation but for necessity and a must. As we walk together , let your head up high ! and do not be afraid of the dark . Jesus is the true Light and salvation . He is the solution of the world crises. Humbly , we beg Him to grant us Peace.

Lenten Season

Lent 2008 begins on 6 of February 2008 and ends at sundown on 20 March 2008 ( Holy Thursday ), with the beginning of the mass of the Lord´s Supper. It is a period of preparation for Easter, season for reflection , season of soul-searching and of course a season of repentance. God is inviting us all to conversion. An invitation to immitate His withdrawal into wilderness for 40 days in prayer and fasting. It is therefore an invitation to salvation. In this period of Lent, christian must live humbly accompanied by prayerful dialogue with God. Because prayer nourishes hope and hope that is not accompanied by prayer is just mere illusion and an escape from reality said Pope Benedict xvi in his homily in the mass celebrated on Ash Wednesday Feb. 6 at Rome´s Basilica of Santa Sabina.
He further said that prayer is a powerful weapon with which to " victoriously face the battle againts the spirit of evil ". In his homily he said that without prayer , the human individual " ends up closed inside oneself, and the conscience which should be God´s voice, risks reducing itself to being a mirror of the I , so that the inner conversation becomes monologue, giving rise to thousands of self-justifiacation ".
May the Spirit of Lent be with us all.

Christian Love

1 CORINTHIANS 13
THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS , AND HAVE NOT CHARITY , I BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS , OR A TINKLING CYMBAL. AND THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY , AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE MYSTERIES , AND ALL KNOWLEDGE , AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS , AND HAVE NOT CHARITY , I AM NOTHING. AND THOUGH I BESTOW ALL MY GOODS TO FEED THE POOR , AND THOUGH I GIVE MY BODY TO BE BURNED , AND HAVE NOT CHARITY ,IT PROFITETH ME NOTHING. CHARITY SUFFERETH LONG , AND IS KIND , CHARITY ENVIETH NOT, CHARITY VAUNTETH NOT ITSELF, IS NOT PUFFED UP. DOTH NOT BEHAVE ITSELF UNSEEMLY, SEEKETH NOT HER OWN, IS NOT EASILY PROVOKED , THINKETH NO EVIL. REJOICETH NOT IN INIQUITY, BUT REJOICETH IN THE TRUTH. BEARETH ALL THINGS, BELIEVETH ALL THINGS, HOPETH ALL THINGS, ENDURETH ALL THINGS. CHARITY NEVER FAILETH , BUT WHETHER THERE BE PROPHECIES , THEY SHALL FAIL, WHETHER THERE BE TONGUES, THEY SHALL CEASE ; WHETHER THERE BE KNOWLEDGE , IT SHALL VANISH AWAY. FOR WE KNOW IN PART, AND WE PROPHESY IN PART. BUT WHEN THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME, THEN THAT WHICH IS IN PART SHALL BE DONE AWAY.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I SPAKE AS A CHILD, I UNDERSTOOD AS A CHILD, I THOUGHT AS A CHILD : BUT WHEN I BECAME A MAN, I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS. FOR NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY ; BUT THEN FACE TO FACE:: NOW I KNOW IN PART; BUT THEN SHALL I KNOW EVEN AS ALSO I AM KNOWN. AND NOW ABIDETH FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, THESE THREE; BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY.

The Second Coming of Christ

2 Thessalonians 1:7-2:2
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. That yet be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled , neither by spirit ,nor by word , nor by letter as from us , as that the day of Christ is at hand.

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
