I missed going to mass last Sunday because I was too sick to go to church and I slept through TV mass for the same reason. But I won’t miss a sermon again because there’s this priest who podcasts his sermon, reflections, and other thoughts on his website.

Podcast Promo

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Fri, 15 Jul 2005 03:54:06 +0100

I thought it was a good idea to make a podcast promo. Besides, I have received quite a few requests for it from fellow podcasters. What I have made is a one-minute presentation of what my podcast series is all about. It did not take me long to write the copy, but choosing the appropriate audio tracks did. Yet I truly had fun doing it. If you are a podcaster, you are free to use this plug in your podcast.

Mylene

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Mon, 04 Jul 2005 03:54:06 +0100

Mylene is only 29 years old but she already went through three surgical operations. First, for a kidney transplant when she was only 24. Second, to remove a lump in her breast. And just recently, to replace her damaged hip. At first she was very bitter and even blamed God. But now she feels bubbly and, as a nurse in a British hospital, makes it a point to bring hope and inspiration to her patients.

His name is Lawrence Stephens. He is one of the only two lay persons (read: non-ordained) in the world who have been appointed as General Secretary of a Bishops' Conference. I interviewed Lawrence about his experiences as General Secretary of the Bishops' Conference of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. We also talked about the special role of the laity in the church.

In this podcast you will meet Mark, a Belgian missionary of the Sacred Heart who did pastoral work with street children for 21 months in Fiji. He will share with us the pains and gains of living in another country, and the unsurpassable joy of being able to share God’s love with impoverished children. I will introduce a new section of my podcast called SpiritFresh 360 – reflections and insights to refresh and nourish your soul. You will also get to hear a song entitled “Our Song of Love”.

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 03:54:06 +0100

What is the Spirituality of the Heart? How can we experience and live it out amidst the challenges and problems we face everyday? Three guests, including the General Superior of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, give their personal responses and reflections on the Spirituality of the Heart. Plus you will hear a song entitled “Let Us Be the Voice of Your Heart”. Sounds great, right?

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Tue, 31 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

Fountain of beauty, finest fruit of the redemption, untarnished image of the Church, our Lady of Edsa, tower of ivory. Have you ever wondered why the Blessed Virgin Mary has so many titles? What is Mary’s role in our salvation? What is the relevance of Mary to today’s world? These and other important questions are discussed in this podcast. Also expect to hear an alternative Christian music, used under a Creative Commons License.

Star Wars and The Holy Trinity

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Sun, 22 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

In this podcast is a short reflection on the spiritual dimension of the Star Wars films. Well, you might call it Star Wars Spirituality. And then there’s also my conversation about the Holy Trinity with Fr. Raymond Dossmann, a French Missionary of the Sacred Heart. I'm sure you remember that today is Holy Trinity Sunday. So happy feastday.

Expect to hear audio clips and soundtracks from the Star Wars saga. So download the podcast now, turn up the volume, and have fun listening.

Two Choirs And A Pope

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Wed, 18 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

This podcast has three parts. The first part features an acappella tune performed live by the choir of the University of the Philippines (Manila), which lately won two awards in Austria. They came to Italy to do a miniconcert for the pinoys in the Eternal City. I have interviewed some of the choir members and I'm sure their impressions and experience in Italy will make you smile.

Conversation With A Saintmaker

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Sat, 14 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

In this podcast I converse with Fr. Raymond Dossman, a French missionary of the Sacred Heart (MSC). He is a saintmaker. We talk about the process of beatification. Who can be beatified? What does it take to be beatified and eventually canonized as saint. This is in view of the recent announcement that the process to beatify Pope John Paul II has begun. And after my conversation with the saintmaker I will play a song by Josh Martin, a Christian rock singer.

“Take courage; I have overcome the world!” (Jn 16:33). Pope Benedict XVI quoted this New Testament verse during his third weekly general audience this morning at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican. Listen to the podcast for his full message.

Mother's Day Podcast

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Sun, 08 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

This podcast is dedicated to all mothers - stepmothers, foster mothers, birth mothers, and the women who have a motherly role in your life. Armed with a microphone and a Hi-MD recorder, I went around the city of Rome today and surfed the blogosphere to find some kababayans and asked them to tell me something about their nanays.

The following are my guests for this Mother’s Day special edition podcast:

Heart's Struggle

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Fri, 06 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

In this podcast I feature an original composition in verse by a Filipina poemblogger. In a beautiful intertwine of words, it talks about the varied emotions you experience when your heart is struggling. It tells me that when you are hurting you must still keep in mind that what is imperative is that you go on loving. And giving. And forgiving.

Being Married To An Italian

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Mon, 02 May 2005 03:54:06 +0100

They say that marriage is really a matter of adjustment. But the adjustment becomes more complicated when you are married to a person of another cultural, lingual, and racial root. This podcast talks about being in an interracial relationship. My guest is Victoria de Torres, a Filipina married to an Italian for 16 years. She shares about the burdens and blessings of her 19-year marriage and of raising her teenage daughter in the Filipino-Italian way.

Also with me in this podcast are Remy Bayoneto and Sr. Tess Mercado.

Being Pinoy In Italy

Habemus Podcast!

This very first edition of my podcast features The Europinoy Perspective, a weekly 15-minute conversation with Filipino migrants about their life here in Europe. This audio series is also broadcast in the Vatican Radio program for Filipinos in Europe.

Fr. Stephen Cuyos, MSC

stephencuyos@gmail.com (Stephen CUYOS) — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 21:23:53 +0100

Why “Cuying”?
My highschool buddies used to fondly call me by that name. I found the name unique in the blogosphere so I went for it. I did not want my header title to be descriptive. I wanted to use a word that did not yet exist in any dictionary. And "Cuying" just sounded right.
