FR. GATUS

There's this priest whose homilies I've been following these days: Fr. Jowel Jomarsus Gatus of San Fernando, Pampanga. Kadto man sigurong magtiis lagi daw para maovercome ang sama ng loob or something ang akong natan-aw sa Youtube nga wali niya. I thank God for such people whose spiritual direction and guidance are really valuable. Padayon pud kos BTS lagi ni Fr. Jerry Orbos for this Christmas and always: Believe, Trust, Surrender. Jia you Doki, all at the right time ra jud lagi. Good night! ;)

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
