  May 19, 2026   Hello!  How is each and every one?  Last Sunday the Church celebrated the Ascension of the Lord as He said “But now I am going to Him who sent me… Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.  And when he comes, he will convince the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment…” (John 16: 6-8).  This coming Sunday, we will be celebrating The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost Sunday).  Since He is also called the Great Unknown, allow me to  share with you from the Q and A Catechism by Fr. M. Guzman some basic truths about the Holy Spirit so that you and I may get to know Him a little bit and from here onwards try and learn more about Him as He is the one who is indwelling in our souls and will guide us along our way through life. The Holy Spirit is God, the third Person of the Blessed Trinity,...

Is Ignorance Bliss?

May 5, 2026 Hello!   How is each and every one? As I mentioned in last week’s post, we will be starting the month of Mary starting with the feast of St. Joseph the Worker.   How I would like to go and see our Lady of Manaog in Stella Orientis Oratory at the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), Ortigas Center while she is there visiting. I expressed my wish to her and entrusted her to do something about it as I also try my luck to arrange a car service. Early in the morning of May 1, I received the text that I can go. I was lucky that a car and driver could be provided albeit at quick notice on the day itself.   The night before I already decided not to go out and just settle to do the pilgrimage around the area but you know the saying “ omnia in bonum ” ( All (things) for the good), I took it as a desire also of Our Lady as I did express my wish to see her particularly, Our Lady of Manaog, who is presently visiting Stella Orientis Oratory in the University...
