The Revolution of LOVE When Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope, people thought he would be a tough one, rigid and traditionalist, concerned with the institution of the Church, putting the Church in a defensive mode. They even ridiculed him intending the pun, “German Shepherd” for a German Pope who they thought would be on the guard, and nothing of the sort of the charismatic and revolutionary

Grapes and Tenants of the Vineyard

27th Sunday in OT, Year A, 2011 We have two similar parables in our readings today. From Isaiah we read of the parable of the unfruitful vineyard. The vine grower has cultivated, watered and nurtured the vineyard. But the grapes were sour, the vineyard was unproductive. The vine grower asks, “What more was there to do for my vineyard that I had not done?” Sometimes we also find

Blessed are the politicians...

I read this from the website dedicated to the late Cardinal Francis Van Thuan. It is worth sharing - as a prayer for our politicians, as well as a hope for renewed politics and social life. Hopeful reading. *** 8 "beatitudes for politicians" Cardinal Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan, who is president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, proposed the moral guidelines on May 3

(Res)Po(n)ssibility

2011-09-07T10:46:00.001-04:00

I was typing a quotation for a section in my paper when I mistyped what I read. The coordination of my eyes, my mind and my fingers was not too well, I thought. I typed "possibilities" instead of "responsibilities". In almost a split second, I thought of just deleting the word and retyping the correct one. I looked at the word "possibilities", and I saw I just had to type "res" before "p" and

Ang Talinhaga Tungkol Sa Pastol At Ang Dumaraming Tupa

2011-05-18T00:01:00.003-04:00

Napansin ng pastol na dumarami na ang tupa at humihirap nang ihanap ng luntiang pastulan. Marami namang pastulan, pero mahirap puntahan. "Bakit ako magpapakahirap? Ano kaya ang dapat kong gawin?" napaisip ang pastol. "Bawasan ko kaya ang mga tupa? Pigilan ko kaya ang kanilang pagdami? Ang hirap alagaan ang ganito karaming tupa." ***Psalmo 23Ang Panginoon ang aking pastolPinagiginhawa
