May I be simple and docile as a child...






Call me, O Mother Mary and I will answer with speed. Call me where ever I am and whenever you want, for I am your child. Call me to attend to your school of faith, that I may learn simplicity and docility to yearn for no one else but our Lord. Show me the way that I may learn the divine science of faith, of believing to see rather that to see to believe.

At home, speak to me through my family. My parents, brother and sisters can be instruments in search of God's love.
At work, remind me through my colleagues, that they are no different than me - an image and likeness of the creator.
At school, help me see through the hearts of the teachers, students and staff who are perfect in God's eyes.
On the street, may I be a mirror of God's love while going to my destination.

May I be simple and docile as a child...

Mary is not God



Non-Catholics are sometimes misled into believing that we worship Mary like we worship God. That is a misunderstanding and is not a Catholic teaching. Mary is not God but the Mother of God. She is no different from us human beings, a child of the first man and woman but was chosen by God to be the Mother of Jesus, specifically. For this, Mary bears no sin.

Mary was dedicated to God when she was a child and she vowed to remain always a virgin. She knew of the expected Messiah and like every holy maiden, she prayed for His coming. And one day, the angel Gabriel came with the news. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you…

We pay our respect, love and honor to Mary for her obedience to God's plan and became the Mother of God with a great faith in her heart. She who said "YES" to God so Jesus can be with us, who hunger and thirst for His words.

Mary is Blessed




We behold a glorious devotion to Mary with novenas in Her honor. She is the subject of inspiration in some artists and poems are written about Mary with so much passion. Some churches even dedicated Mary as patron saint. Why men and women of all ages venerate Her? Why all pay homage and generations call Her "Blessed"? The answer is because Mary, of all women who ever lived, was chosen by God to be the Mother of His Divine Son, Jesus Christ. 

Mary is blessed. From birth, she was chosen to be part of God's plan destiny. A destiny she never could have imagine but willingly accepted. Her destiny - to be the Mother of Christ. She was free from sin, born exempted from original sin. 

Many call her Blessed. She truly is blessed by God's love and shares with us all. 

I love my Mother Mary.

Follow Jesus




Many follow Jesus to the breaking of bread but few followed when it's time to drink the chalice of passion - saving us from sin. Many venerate Him for miracles performed but few take up their cross and let Jesus carry it alone.
Doesn't it sound like many love Jesus in time of prosperity and stay away when face with adversity? Is it like praising Him and adoring Him when we receive consolation and distant our self when wishes were  not granted even if it meant He loved us, so as to keep us from harm?
God is love, trust in Him like the way Mother Mary trusted His words even if it is impossible to understand.

Prayer of the day

Bestow upon me, O Jesus, that interior peace, which is full of hope and renders us of Your grace during this joyous season while Mother Mary remind us to be faithful in corresponding with your wonderful love for us. May that peace whose companions are the spirit of poverty while you lay in a manger, humility of heart from recognizing Your will and freedom from all earthly attachments increase our faith as we welcome the new year that is unfolding in a few days. Grant that my passions be subject to reason, my reason to faith and I to God. Amen.
