my Spiritual Purification Through Bro.Joey

we have our recollection and our speaker is brother joey mabborang.. he is an excellent speaker, he's so brilliant a very commendable for a job well done... he tackles about the life and works of saint john of the cross ( NADA - TODO) though he didn't gave us that much brief explanation but, i personally understand everything most especially on the life and Works of Saint Teresa of Jesus, the 7 mansions and etc., and it made me more interested to read the book that brother willow gave us.. thanks by the way bro. willow for your generosity.. bro. joey is a prolific speaker.. he moves me, lalalong lalo na nung sinabi nya na " For other people we are fool, coz we have a job but why are we here? hindi naman tayo medyo pangit pero bakit? we can have our own family and have many children pero bakit? maybe they think that we are fool, ready to sacrifice everything even our love ones but for us we are fool for the love of our beloved, our lord Jesus Christ..." i told my self oo nga.. bakit kaya ? sabi nga ni Father JOhn Carlo of Franciscan Friars of Immaculate,Once you are called by God to be hes servant though you say no to him but it will haunt you for the rest of your life... and you will end to a point na your bored na in your job and non sense na ang lahat.. yes, i have a job, i'm happy with my job but why is't that theres still missing in my life... and i found that missing puzzle in carmel... though the road going to carmel is not easy but i dont mind it..i will do everything to be part of this community.. " when God gives a vocation, He also gives us the means and the grace to follow it. But he doesn't say it'll be easy. God uses the storms and conflicts in our lives to make us grow spiritually. As St. Teresa says "Everything is a grace to him who loves God". and i do believe that God will make a way.. i can say No to Gods call for me but deep inside my heart theres still missing and i only found it in Carmel, though i wasn't been able to graduate in college but deep inside my heart i know i will be a good carmelite and im open to god's grace.. as what Bishop Sheen once said that we will never reach God with intellect, for there are boundaries to our knowledge but love, like God, is infinite." i want to follow the footstep of my beloved saint... Saint therese of the child Jesus as i reckon from the book of Mathew 18:3 " I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
as st. therese emphasize " little way of spiritual childhood"
to be continued na muna ha pagod na ksi ako eh.. hehehe thnks.. godbless..

Ave Maria......! Happy Birthday Mama Mary....... We love you....... Ave Maria...!

  Mary is the supreme masterpiece of Almighty God and he has reserved the knowledge and possession of her for himself. She is the glorious Mother of God the Son who chose to humble and conceal her during her lifetime in order to foster her humility. He called her "Woman" as if she were a stranger, although in his heart he esteemed and loved her above all men and angels. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit where only he may enter. She is the sanctuary and resting-place of the Blessed Trinity where God dwells in greater and more divine splendour than anywhere else in the universe, not excluding his dwelling above the cherubim and seraphim. No creature, however pure, may enter there without being specially privileged.    I declare with the saints: Mary is the earthly paradise of Jesus Christ the new Adam, where he became man by the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to accomplish

What is a martyr?

    "Martyrdom is the supreme witness given to the truth of the faith: it means bearing witness even unto death.

Blessed Pedro Calungsod was endowed with the Christian virtues needed by saints and martyrs to live and to die for Catholic faith:   Faith by making God the center of his life and his constant reference point. Not only did Pedro firmly believe the truths of the faith taught by the Church, but he also studied them thoroughly.  His knowledge so affected his life that he volunteered to go to the missions with Fr, Diego. Hope  that was rooted in his strong faith in God and fully alive with the enthusiasm of his youth.  The vir
