12 years ago today, I and 14 others were ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Miguel Cinches, SVD, then bishop of Surigao City. Our class name is Santibok (One beat, One heart). Most of the members of the class were then young professionals. It's a good time to thank God for the gift of priesthood. And what a better way of thanking God than to celebrate the Holy Eucharist, the center of my life.

Three old men are bragging with each other how would they want to die, an eighty year old said if I can experience driving the most expensive car, I can already die. The second guy, a ninety year old said, if I go to the casino and win the jackpot I can already die by heart attack. The oldest who is ninety five years old said, I want to die in bed, shot by a jealous husband.

One old daily Mass goer in a parish was heard saying, "one thing I hate with the Pastor is that in his homilies he always talks about GOD". Not all who says "Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven". Salvation can not e attained by confining ourselves to praying. Christian life means we need to listen to the Word of God and practice

There are three stages in his life story.First is that, Zacchaeus was a wealthy man but he is unhappy. He was lonely because he had chosen a way that made him an outcast. Despised and hated by his fellowmen, Zacchaeus was reaching after the love of God.Secondly, despite

A week ago Roger and Peggy treated me to a sumptuous lunch at my favorite restaurant in town. And they handed me the proceeds of the weekend Bake Sale for the victims of the twin typhoon Ondoy international codename KETSANA that devastated the capital city Metro Manila and her neighboring cities and provinces and the typhoon Pepeng international codename PARMA that left huge damages to crops,

Yesterday we started our annual FALL CLERGY CONVOCATION here at The Mountain Lodge in Park City, Utah. We have Father Ronald Knott as our speaker. This year's theme is 'Diocesan Clergy Spiritual Growth. Fr. Knott is saying that the main goal of every priest is to deepen his personal holiness and influence others, meaning the people he serves into the way God wants them to be.The PRIEST needs to

One afternoon a rich old lady went to her Pastor and asked him to say Mass for his dead Cat. The Pastor said, "I can't say Mass fro your Cat because it's an animal and it does not have soul." The old lady replied, "okey Father, I will just go and offer Mass to the Anglican Church and will give my ten thousand dollar donation." Upon hearing this the Pastor said, "wait! anyway you are Catholic,

One day a mother hen was roaming around the animal kingdom boasting that she offered her eggs for her masters breakfast for the next day. On her way she met the mother pig saying, " The master will have eggs and ham for his breakfast tomorrow". The mother pig said, "You're happy because you just give your eggs, but I give my life." God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ.

A retarded boy who is mute and deaf climbed a coconut tree. His parents asked him to come down because they are afraid he may fall down. But as if they are just talking to a wall. So they requested the village chief to help them ask the boy to come down. The village chief was shouting at the top of his voice calling the boy to come down, but the boy never listened to him. It happened that the

In one Marriage Encounter the facilitator asked his audience the question, "Which is more valuable, your spouse or your money?" A man stood up and said, "Money is more valuable because it earns interest as time goes by, while a spouse loses interest as time goes by". After the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves, people fed by Jesus followed him because they thought they have found the

Who among us is ready to go to heaven? All of us who believe that there is life after death may say, "yes I am ready". But, if we are to be asked are we ready to give up our material possessions to gain entry to heaven?, we may answer it differently or not answer the question at all. What good must I do to to gain eternal life? asked the rich young man to Jesus. Jesus answered him, "if you wish

There is a story of a lonely man who walked into a restaurant. He called a waiter and he said, "I want a whole roasted pig and a few kind words". The waiter took his order and walk into the kitchen, after a while came back with the whole roasted pig. Turned his back on the man heading towards the kitchen. The man called his attention saying, "I ordered a whole roasted pig and a few kind words,

In the year 1998, "Der Spiegel" (The Mirror) a popular magazine in Germany carried a story that in that year there are 98,000 cases of divorce. Reasons of which are not really known. The gospel reading today speaks of marriage and divorce. Pharisees came to Jesus asking him if it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason. Jesus answered them that what God has joined no man could

Part of our being human is our sinfulness or wickedness. We commit sin a lot of times in our waking hours. And most of the times we commit the same sins all over again. That is one of the things I observed with penitents especially to those who come to the confessionals on a regular basis. And even I, myself that is my experience. The gospel reading today speaks of forgiveness to a brother who

Once I entered a Chinese Restaurant, a caption at the entrance caught my attention. The saying goes this way, "If you are happy and satisfied with our food and service please tell it to others, but if not please come tell it to us." In the gospel reading today, Jesus reminds us that if a brother sins against us we need to win back that brother. And Jesus gives three steps on how we win our

When Manny "Pacman" Paquiao of the Philippines knocked down the Bristish boxing legend Ricky Hatton in their bout last May 2, 2009, in a couple of minutes in Las Vegas, Nevada, people proclaimed him the world's greatest pound for pound boxer. His victory over Hatton was celebrated by the whole of the Filipino Nation. Looking at how the world's proclamation on the greatness of a person, it seems

"Unless the grain of wheat falls on ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat, but if it dies, it produces much fruit." Jesus tell his disciples in the gospel reading today. Jesus reminds us of his sacrifice on the cross to save us and give us eternal life. It is only through the cross that Jesus won over sin and death. To have a successful life we need to die within ourselves. If wish to
