generosity

I am a great fan of Mother Teresa because of the way she had shown love and generosity to others especially to the poor and needy.Yet my admiration of her wasnt of my childhood ideals, as a matter of fact i was the one whinging of Dad's generosity to both strangers and acquaintances when i know we were hard up as well.I would remember grumbling over when my father would tell me to prepare some food for people who had just turned up our front door claiming that they came from far away town and had been been on a journey had no money and had nothing to eat ....etc.In my shortmindedness and

Happy New Year!

For the first time in 2010, I was not able to attend the Sunday Mass. I woke up late probably because I'm still adjusting my bio-clock. Also, I did not receive a confirmation from a friend if she could give me a ride after Mass.

My question is: Will it be alright if I can skip attending Sunday Masses and just have  my own personal reflection in the height of winter season if I can't find a ride back home? The hottest temperature right now is 1 degree Celsius and the snow is at least four-inch thick.

I am a bit scrupulous at times:-)

Blessed Laura Vicuña, patron of victims of abuse

Today is the feastday of Blessed Laura Vicuña, patron of victims of abuse. In the January-February 2008 issue of Misyon we published an article on this young girl by Fr John Murray, a parish priest in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As today is her feastday and since there are still so many young people, both boys and girls, being abused by adults, we are posting the article again. Your comments are welcome.

To tell or not to tell

Let me throw this question of the group when we read the Gospel for today.

"The Gospels tell of Jesus’ miracles.  In many accounts, why is it that Jesus always advised those he had healed not to tell of the miracles he performed to other people? Yet, he doesn’t even react whenever those people do otherwise."
