“What we are willing to give time shows what we value. What we value reveals what we love. If we cannot give time for the Lord in prayer, in attending the Eucharist, we should reflect if we seriously love God. We could be replacing God by the things of this world, by what we possess, and what we desire to possess. We might be creating them our gods. Let us be on guard.”

“We are only stewards, not owners. That is why when we die, we leave everything behind; because we own nothing. Nothing really belongs to us, except our sins. If we know this by heart, we seek the mind of the true owner and ask: Lord, what is your purpose to the life I have? How should I use your gift of time, talent and treasure? How should I take care of your creation? How should I love as you do?”

“We hope in God; yet God also has hope in us. God hopes that we change our mind when we decide to disobey him. God hopes for our conversion, for our repentance. And when God hopes, that means we are capable. It is possible. His grace abounds in our weaknesses and failures. We can change. We can leave sin, our bad habits, and attitudes. We can correct our wrong.”

“When we are grateful, we are sensitive to God’s grace. We are able to see the blessings we have despite the situation maybe not the ideal for us. We focus on what we have and not on what we lack. By this means, we dispose ourselves to experience God’s graciousness, even as we continue to anticipate what more He has stored for us. Live with a grateful heart, and you’ll see the beauty of your life.”

It’s not easy to forgive. But it’s always possible with God’s grace. Decide to forgive. Choose to be a vessel of God’s forgiveness. Allow God’s grace to transform your heart.”

“God comes to strengthen us, to give us hope, to cast our fears. But most often, He comes not in a grandiose way. The Lord did not come to Elijah through the wind, the earthquake, nor the fire; but through a tiny whispering sound. Experience God not only in big blessings. Many of God’s manifestations in our life come through little things. Find God in the ordinary.”

“The kingdom of God is like a buried treasure. It is hidden because it is not cheap. It’s value is incomparable to all worldly treasures. It is hidden so that we can exert effort to discover it. Allowing God to reign in our lives will give us a new perspective in life. We will realize that as stewards, all the blessings God has given us in this life must be used for the greater glory of God.”

“Everybody gets old everyday. Truth be told, no one gets younger. Yet it’s a grace to grow old, not just in age, but more specially in maturity and wisdom. The older we become, the more that we also must see how merciful God has been into our life. Despite everything, we are still loved. We have the gift of present to choose to love, to forgive, and to see the good in everything.”

There can be beauty in anything. In God’s economy, nothing is wasted.”

“A child can sleep in peace because he trusts his parents to provide for him, to take care of him. Do we have the same trust in God? Maybe we have to re-learn trusting like a child.

“God desires that we love Him more than anyone, not for His sake but for our own. Nothing is permanent in life except God. So don’t love anything or anyone as if it is your everything. God wants to anchor us to something permanent — to His love and to His presence. Yes, love people and the beauty of this life, but not beyond the greater love you have for God.”

“It’s human to have fears, even healthy at times. But there are fears that paralyze us, keep us from moving forward, and darken our vision of what could be a bright future. So God reminds us everyday: ‘Do not be afraid.’ God takes care even of sparrows. Someone said ‘FEAR has two meanings: Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise. The choice is yours.’”

“The Eucharist seeks to transform us to be the body of Christ to the world — to be the hands of Jesus to help those in need, to be his feet to bring peace and joy, to be his ears to listen to the voiceless, to be his eyes to see love and goodness to everyone, to be his lips to proclaim the truth, to be his mind to know the will of God, and to be his heart to follow God unreservedly.”

“Since God is love, love is a Trinity. Love is held by the lover, and is given to the beloved. Such is the relationship between the Father who is the lover to the Son who is the beloved, and the Holy Spirit who is the love that is shared between the Father and the Son. This is very personal to us. Every time we truly love, we reflect God’s image in us. We become who we really are.”

“A great power resides in each of us — the power of the Spirit! If we allow this power to work, then we’ll speak his language — the language of love; that powerful language that can transform us and the world around us; and bring fruits into our life. This Spirit leads us to move forward; never to be locked on ‘closed doors.’ So we pray: Come Holy Spirit, enkindle in us Your love, send us to Your will.”

Persevere to live light so that you can ascend. Don’t allow any problem to drag your spirit down. As they say: ‘Don’t tell God you have a big problem. Tell your problem you have a big God!’ Then allow God’s grace to lift you up."

“We thank God for our mothers because they make us experience God’s love through their love. It’s true: ‘The closest love to God’s love is a mother’s love’; because a mother’s love is pure. It desires only what is best for her child. It is selfless; always ready to sacrifice. And it is faithful. They love us even at our worst. A mother’s love is not only a mirror of God’s love. It is God’s love itself.”

But when life’s realities present otherwise, “do not let your hearts be troubled” Jesus said. He went through all these ahead of us and became victorious. The trail for our journey is Jesus.

“St. John Paul II said: ‘Aside from the mercy of God, there is no other hope for humankind.’ True, because without God’s mercy all of us will be condemned to death. All of us will not pass His justice. Thank Jesus, he shows and reveals that God’s mercy is like an ocean. In that ocean, there is no big sin that God’s mercy cannot absorb; only if, we come to Him with contrite and sincere heart.”

That is our hope. That is our certainty. We are Easter people!”

Say and mean words that encourage, give hope, and inspire love.”
