My novena and prayer books of St.John Paul II and rosary from my Lola Luming "Totus Tuus!" These are the words that pops in my mind when I was a kid and until now when I hear his name: Pope John Paul II .  Totus Tuus: is a Latin phrase which means "Totally yours" . I was 9 when Pope John Paul II first visited Manila.  I watched every television coverage from his first visit as well as the World youth day celebration when it was held here.  How I wish: I could see him in person. (Maybe soon I will be able to visit him in Vatican: which was my fervent wish)   He was the only pope I am aware of: maybe because he's the one I grew up knowing (in church and school) and seeing on television and newspaper.  I remember one of the coverages of ABS-CBN TV patrol during the World Youth Day celebration when he was on the Pope mobile... when I saw him tears fell down my cheeks... I felt blessed even if I was just watching him on tv.  And I love watching the re-r

There are things that we don't want to happen... But we have to accept... Things that we have to know But we have to learn... And people we can't live without But we have to let go... In order for us to move on... we should learn to accept our present situation.  The past can never be changed, forgotten, erased or edited  but it can only be accepted. We should accept rather than expect... When something ends... a new story begins...

If somebody had wronged us... we must learn to forgive... I know it's not easy... but we must teach ourselves to do it. I have experienced this a long time ago... I prayed for healing... It's a day to day struggle... And every time I feel the pain that this person had inflicted on me... I pray... I meditate... and ask the Lord to heal me and take away all the pain in my heart... Days, months, and yes... three years... But my faith in God helped me overcome every thing... When the time came that I have learned to forgive the person... It was really a feeling of relief and tranquility... felt light...  I can breathe easily... I can sleep soundly... And there's happiness inside me that was totally unexplainable. (Peace of mind, i guess) Forgiveness is a journey with God...   But once you learned to forgive... It will really take all your heart aches away... :) "Forgiveness is above all a personal choice, a decision of the heart... to go against th

Every day we face a lot of challenges... Some times these almost crush us to the ground... But even though how small or big it was... We should always remember that the Lord will not give us things that we cannot handle... These are just test of faith...  There are times i go through  struggles and challenges...and i almost gave up... But my FAITH kept me going... I know that nothing is impossible with Him...  He is my source of strength...and everything... I still feel blessed...  And i know that there's a lot of things to be thankful for... Have a blessed Holy Week!
