I have a Professor who once confessed he did not know how to evangelize to the secular world. To think, he authored lots of books already. He is a good Theologian. And a priest for that matter. And he did not know how to evangelize to [...]

An open prayer to the crucified, glorified Jesus:
Fearful thoughts have invaded my mind.
Making my heart so scared.
Prompting my body to be restless.
You said, “Peace be with you.”
I claim that peace.
Calm my thoughts.
Appease my heart.
Let me be still.
Let me hold on to your bleeding hands.
Let me look at your bloodied face.
Let me embrace your weakened body.
That [...]

I would like to introduce you to Bonsella. This is my illustration from the story about a small plant which dreamed of becoming a big tree.
Bonsella had wanted her leaves to swish up to the sky above. She wanted her roots to dig dip into the ground. She wanted to become a [...]

This is the difference between being a rational adult and a foolish kid…
The rational adult asks, reasons and ends up being foolish…
The foolish kid listens, believes and ends up being wise…

Is it because I am so accustomed to pain that I could not [...]

I share this personal prayer about hiding underneath Jesus’ pants:
I hide underneath your pants like a child, dear crucified and glorified Jesus.
I am so accustomed to it that I begin to think I may never grow up.
However I like it when I hide underneath your pants for I feel protected.
Some [...]

I can feel it so clearly how much I miss Jesus. The connectivity which I claim I have with Him is elusive to me these past few days. And I miss him terribly. I know when I feel I am connected to him because I do not fear. I know when I am linked [...]

I remember the story of Adam and Eve…the scene when they hid because they were naked. Then, God asked them why they were hiding?
The scene reminds me of my frailties and sinfulness. I am not comfortable doing something mediocre. That’s perhaps the reason why I do not do things [...]

I am just plain happy today that I exist. I write the first word… I am… because of the Word who became Flesh…the crucified, glorified Jesus.
