"We do not give because we have, we give because we love. If we do not embrace this way of thinking, we will never be free. Pope Francis is quite right when he says that nobody is so poor that he is not able to give something, be it ever so little. It is not how much you give that is important, but the spirit with which you give." - Cardinal Ouédraogo

"Mga minamahal na kapatid, mag ingat ingat tayo sa mga palihim lihim na yan. Yung mga itinatago tagong yan kadalasan masama yan. Dahil kung yan ay tunay na mabuti bakit mo ililihim? Bakit mo itatago? Yung tunay na kabutihan ipinapakita. Tulad ng pagbubunyag ng Diyos ng kanyang sarili. Pero yung mga bagay na itinatago, atin atin lang, walang makakaalam. Yang mga bagay na yan madalas ay kasamaan at kasalanan." - Rev. Fr. Reginald Malicdem

Epiphany of the Lord

"Jesus came and proclaimed peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near." - Eph 2:17

LET YOUR TEARS FLOW

Reflection: Tears are good for the soul. Sometimes our disappointments are overwhelming. When you feel your worst, and your tears begin to flow, offer them to the Lord. "Your tears are collected by the Angels and placed in a golden chalice. You will find them again one day when you present yourself before God." - St. Padre Pio

Prayer: Dear Lord, I offer You all my joys and sorrows.

"In our littleness, God still looks at us with love and mercy. We are valuable to God. We are precious to God. We are loved by God. The gospel invites us to look up to the many Zacchaeus in our family, in our community. Let's appreciate their efforts. When we look up to people it make them realize their value and it will change them." - Fr. ???
