Fr. Carlos and I

9AM 2/26/12 Sunday
Priest: Fr. Carlos
Lector: Greg

Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant. (Ps 25:4-5...

Officiating the mass at 9 AM was Fr. Carlos and I was the lector. And this Sunday, after the 11 AM mass, there was a birthday party lunch at the Church's basement for our pastor Fr. Peter Fernandez, tendered by the parishioners of St.Timothy parish.

Stewardship was manifested as parishioners flocked to the Church for prayer, for the celebration and for parish activity participation. Truly the parishioners' time, talent, and treasure were displayed.

Inspiration

Wonderful World

Teach me once more on  how to fly,
To soar up above the skylines
To dream, to hope, and not to cry

Teach me once more to stand, to walk
To run as really fast as I can
And tell them to do and not just talk.

Teach me once more to learn to change
And write it to do the exercise
To scribble words and rearrange

Words that make sense and beautiful
Well-chosen words of prose and poetry
Making our life so wonderful.

The Real Presence

At St. Jude's Chapel

He is imprisoned in the tabernacle
for our salvation.

Silence. Meditate. Listen.

He is there in the tabernacle
watching and listening to us -
in the silence of our heart
in the abundance of our thoughts.

He is there!

Speak to Him in the sanctum of your silence;
Whisper to Him and listen to the echo of your desires.

He is there: ready to lift you,
to carry you, to meet your needs.

Make Him a part of you, a part of us.

The Waterfall

Waterfall on the Wall

Water, air, light -
The essentials of life.

At the outpatient hospital lobby, I walk tall.
I witnessed a therapeutic experience
As I gazed at the waterfall on the wall

Cascading to the flower garden
Of white blooming orchids,
On the newfound Eden.

The illuminating electric bulbs declared;
The writing on the wall that read
"Only say the Word and I shall be healed."

The water of damnation or salvation,
Air for existence or suffocation;
Light for power or for extinction?
