THIS we can gather from what Christ himself said, practically begging us. “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few,” he said. “Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest that he sends forth laborers into his harvest.” (Mt 9,37-38) And after saying this, he called his twelve disciples together

ON the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, what we are reminded of is the invitation to give our whole heart to Jesus so as to transform it and unite it with the very heart of Jesus. It should remind us of God’s appeal to us as mentioned in

I LOVE music and I like to sing. And one song that captivated me almost completely during my youth was entitled, “I only have eyes for you.” It’s a romantic ballad with a timeless, sentimental quality. The music is characterized by a gentle, soaring melody that complements the tender lyrics, creating

THAT’S a beautiful psalm (25,4b) that should remind us that we need to be aware that it is God’s continuing, loving, merciful and effective providence that guides us toward our ultimate and real goal in life. It would be good if we can repeat this psalm often so we can protect

GIVEN the obvious fact that we are easily trapped in our worldly condition, practically unmindful of the ultimate spiritual and supernatural dimensions of our life, we should feel the need for a daily reset so as to be properly anchored and directed to the ultimate goal of our life. Yes, we

WITH the increasingly toxic air we are having these days, due mainly to rabid political influencers who shamelessly force their views on us as if they are the only ones who are correct, we need to strongly remind ourselves that it is all worthwhile to develop a calm and gentle disposition.

THE Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi, should spur us to sharpen our understanding and appreciation of the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist where Christ himself, both God and man, gives himself completely to us—body, soul, his humanity and divinity—so we can be one with him.

THERE’S a passage from the Second Letter of St. Paul to Timothy that tells us where we can have our perfection. It says: “All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, that the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every

THIS need does not mean that we should treat suffering and death as though they are “wanted” for their own sake. Our faith teaches us that they are real evils and enemies. But since we cannot avoid them because of our finite, let alone, wounded condition here on earth, God, who

IT’S to fall in love, of course. But the true love that should fill our mind and heart with desires and concern to reach out to the others, to help and understand them, to find excuses for their shortcomings, quick to offer forgiveness just as we too should be quick to

THIS is the worst condition that we can find ourselves in, the very opposite of what is truly ideal for us. Instead of being connected and engaged to others, especially to God first, we choose to be on our own. Instead of reaching out to others, we prefer to pursue our

THAT’S from the Second Letter of St. Peter. (1,4) The complete verse says: “All things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own proper glory and virtue. By whom he has given us most
