DO YOU HAVE TIME?

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was
the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
'Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time'

natapos na ang dating iniintay-intay na event sa ministry....

youth encounter 10!!!!!!

well...very great expirience...one of a kind.....

isa-isahin natin....

DAY 1

madami akong ginawa before ako makapunta ng set-up. di ko na nga naabutan ung mismong paglalabas ng gamit ang tanging inabutan ko na lang ay paalis na sila. hindi ako sumabay sa transpo with the stuffs ,bakit? may mga bagay pa kasi akong kailangang bilihin. i bought stuffs na kakailanganin ko for y.e. while walking nakita ako ni ate rus. medyo napa-usap, nagtanong kasi si ate if musta na yung y.e. and if everyone is ready. going back sa chapel to find someone na makakasabay sa pag-akyat. naabutan ko at that time si apa ,patrick ,and terenz. at dahil mag-coconfess pa si terenz, apa and i need to go na ,at dahil participant si patrick kailangan niyang maghintay sa susundo sa participants. papunta sa venue (LGA) ang transpo namin ni apa ay jeep tapos lakad papunta sa LGA. bakit naman kasi walang jeep na uma-akyat sa LGA? at bakit special pa dapat?.

pagka-akyat...sorry kung hindi ako masyadong nakatulong sa set-up, well i need time pa kasi in order to finalize yung prayers ko. sa first day ng encounter madami pa ding kailangan ayusin buti na lang dahil sa unity natapos din agad.

as usual late pero not like last year na uber late at least this time hindi na ganoon. as the whole event formally starts uber kabado na ko as in gusto kong mawala. hehehe. bakit? alam niyo na yun. hehehe.

well ,madaming ring nakakatawang nangyari. for example: ang uber nakakalitong welcome to the family. aamin ako madami akong mistake sa action song na 'to. lesson learned mag-practice ng maayos...owkie.

sa pagtatapos ng first day, uber pagod ang iba kasi galing sa school at work pero if your serving with full heart and you offer it to the Lord mawawala din ung pagod at mapapaltan ito with joy.

DAY 2

halos iilang oras pa lang ang mga tulog. all of us need to start na. on the record si mariel ang pinaka-unang nagising at second ako. kuya carlo ang saya ng naisip mong exersice. ok back to reality after ng exercise.

pagkatapos ng lunch... dahil mga walang magawa at ayaw pang mag-siesta. PICTORIAL muna. hehehe ang ganda kasi ng view eh. okay after the pictorial chever siesta na pero dahil hindi makatulog kwentuhan time muna. about what? SECRET! hehehe. pagkatapos ng siesta back on track sa mga dapat gawin.

before celeb night medyo nagkagulo pa kaming mga sponsory kung sinu-sino ang gaganap buti na lang at naayos din. (sponsory next time na lang yung musical. siguro next year... auxies presentation.) napakaganda ng whole presentation night todo effort. joy ,faith ,and ate jaja madami ang uber nagulat. kuya jerard madaming na-inlove kay armando. sa iba pa ang masasabi ko lang ay ASTIG!

DAY 3

last day na. mariel ang aga pa ding gumising. core ang hirap gisingin. hay, sa day na ito magtatapos na ang youth encounter. madami ng new youth ang mas nakilala si Lord.

well, wala na kong masyadong masasabi...confidential kasi...basta uber saya ng y.e. at madami akong natutunan sa expirience na nangyari in this days.

WHO IS FR. PING MOLINA

Who Can Fill the shoes of aGood Fisherman

International, national and local issues about priests’ infidelity to their priestly vows rock the heart of many devout Catholics. This infidelity is not only confined to priests but also to the elders or bishops. The feet of a good fisherman must fit-in the shoes of master fisherman to correct the situation. But how about if the good fisherman is already dead? Is there another good fisherman who can fill-in the shoes of the dead good fisherman? I will not give my opinion because it is the work of the Holy Spirit, and surely He will not abandon his church. But I am tempted to give my humble opinion, none will be able to fill-in the shoes of the good dead fishermen. But I pray that one will fit in.

Whom shall I am referring? He is the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Jose B. Molina the Vicar General of the Diocese of Virac.

One way or another shaped my life although he was not my rector nor formator in the seminary, you can not but notice this good priest because of eloquent sermons that he delivered in pulpit. The words/ idea he profound was like hypnotic spell to the parishioners, because they are all listening. Yes this good fisherman has impressive scholastic records that will be the reason of a good sermon, but if the speaker forgot the true element of a good sermon all will be a noise to the listeners. This element can be unraveled in an anecdote that involve Saint Agustine of Hippo that the good saint said to deliver sermon but what he did was only to waived his hand to the crowd of the catholics without uttering a single word, the reactions are different some are crying, others are smiling and others are astonished by the charism of the Holy Saint. Words are dead if the priest will not live to what he is preaching. He live by the words He preaches, that is the secret of the good fisherman. That is the reason why he was loved by many priests, laymen, seminarians and ex-seminarians.

I was then in the seminary when this story happened, Yes maybe I was the only one who can still remember this. Cardinal Jose T Sanchez visited the Diocese of Virac, Bishop Sorra as the Bishop then of Virac gave him a welcome party as part of party the good cardinal will give a talk to the priests and seminarians. The consensus of the whole priest for him to use the local dialect but the cardinal forgot already the local tongue that he can not anymore speak the dialect of Pandan, He was compared to Archbishop Teopisto V Aberto the bishop maker who always give talk in Bagamanoc dialect, Mamo Ping shouted jokingly ibingan four times maybe Cardinal Sanchez was familiar to the word but forgot the meaning. It is a profane word but to us in the circle of seminarians at the time it is only a word used which lost the original meaning, rather it denotes that we are from Pandan, he faced at our directions and he asked us what is ibingan. Instead of facing the cadinal he hid himself beside the post of the octagon in Fiat, the way I saw him he was like a child who was scolded by his father, he never talked again. I kept it for a decade but now he is already dead, I come to analyze the situation. The first thing that come to my mind is that Mamo Ping recognized the authority of the good Cardinal although what he uttered for him is only a joke. He readily recognized that he was wrong. A virtue of a good bishop material, submission to the will of the church the mater magistra.

Last thing that I remember about him when he vigorously opposed the STL (small time lottery) franchised in Catanduanes. Here again he delivered a well prepared speech that showed the bad effect of gambling in every Catandunganon. There he has proven that the powerful Catholic Church is ready to defend morality. That Rt. Reverend Msgr. Jose B Molina will not stop protecting his church. All listened to him.

This man authored “Youth Encounter” the program which is being used in the entire Philippines for the formation of youth and the New Evangelization Pastorele which is being adopted in our Diocese. He founded also the “Marriage Encounter” in the Island of Catanduanes.

Who can therefore fill-in the shoes of a goodfisherman? Let us pray and hope that someday someone from the ranks will follow the footsteps of our beloved Mamo Ping Molina.

One of my best experience being youth ang YE. Know what naka-dalawang beses akong sumali dito nung una nung maging participants kami sa gagawing WYD95 tapos nung naisipan namin na mag-YE din ang choir ko. Pero naging facilitator na rin ako nito after WYD hanggang mag-migrate kami. Napakasarap na experience ang YE, masaya, malungkot, madaming kantahan, sayawan, tawanan at iyakan. tama si blueforgetmenot, para ma-experience nyo ang YE.. COME AND SEE!

YE-Experience - tagaytay

Kakaibang "Retreat" experience ever!

source: http://joycegalvz.livejournal.com/

Hay! Napaka-HAPPY naming mga OLICians kasi naging KAKAIBA, MEANINGFUL, at NAPAKASAYA ng last retreat namin.

January 7, 8, 9, 2009 is unforgettable moment/s for me.

Ishi-share ko lang po sa inyo yung onting HIGHLIGHT sa retreat experience ko.

First, kakaiba yung place syempre, Villa Sta. Luisa, Tagaytay City. Eh, super lamig kaya! Parang 5 aircon na sabay-sabay bunuksan at grabe, umuulan pa! San ka pa? Oh di ba, masaya?! Kakapal pa ng ,ga jackets namin...Hehe!

Second, ATTACK! Attack yan.......................sa pagkain! Hehe! Yan yung natutunan namin kapag time na kumain...Hehe! Pasaway!

Third, yung facilitator namin. Kulet nilang 2 ever! Yung una, parang si FRANZEN daw ng PBB.. kasi kamukha nya tas yung isa, DINGDONG DANTES look-alike daw! Nakuu! Cheness ever! Eh ang kamukha nya naman eh si GABE MERCADO o kaya si MICHAEL V... Pero pinakanagustuhan namin kay "Dingdong Dantes look-alike" kuno eh yung panggagaya nya kay Michael V. na "YARI KA...HAHAHAHAHAH!" Pati yung pagkanta ng rap songs...galing nya kaya...astig!

Fourth, yung session hall kung san kami nagse-session then yung mga lectures. Biruin nyo yon, tinatamaan ako sa mga lectures kasi na-experience ko na yung iba... Nakakainis nung una kasi grabe! :) Basta, yun na yon!

Fiftth, S.O.P.....The SIGN OF PEACE (SOP nga!) Ayan yung YAKAPAN MOMENTS naming lahat.... kada matatapos yung isang lecture.

Sixth, COME & SEE!!!! Eto yung lecture na gusto ko kasi maganda....tsaka sabi ng mga facilitators namin, kapag once na nagtanong yung mga lower levels or yung mga ibang sections sa 4th yr. kung ano yung ginawa namin....sasabihin lang namin na, "SECRET!!!! COME & SEE!!!" Hehe! Pasaway!

Seventh, yung theme ng retreat namin...YOUTH ENCOUNTER, Virac Model....Galing daw ito sa Virac, Catanduanes kaya sya tinawag na ganun.

Eight, sa dorm! Hehe! Igay namin dung mga girls, ingay talaga super! Hehe! Basta yun na yon! Private kasi yung iba! :)

Ninth, yung pinaka-FAVORITE ko sa lahat.... "CIRCLES OF LOVE"...kasi dito lahat sasabihin yung pinakamagandang description mo about my classmates. Nagulat na lang kasi ako sa mga sinabi nila about sa akin. Kasi di ko ine-expect na sabihin nila yung mga bagay-bagay na di ko nakikita sa sarili ko.....at narealize ko na..."Ah, dapat ko pala 'tong pagpatuloy, kasi yun pala yung nakikita nila sa kin." Kasi akala ko, puro negative yung nakikita ko sa sarili ko at pati nila yun pala ayun, sa nagpapasalamat ako sa ka-group ko. :)

And lastly, yung ONE BIG GROUP SHARING. siempre di mawawala yan. Natuklasan ko lasi yung mga sikreto ng mga classmates ko na napakabigat nilang problema pati yung mga masasayang expereinces nila kasi yung iba,di nagsasalita kung ano yung mga problema, tas yun. grabe!

Grabe talaga yung retreat na 'to kasi last year na namin sa GCS, kailangan na naming magpaalam this March 31. Graduation na!

Tumindi yung bonding namin as group and at the same time, mas lalo naming nakilala ang isa't isa and dami namin natutunan.

Kaya, Salamat IV-OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE CONNCEPTION (OLIC) SY 08-09...
