"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"A fish may love a bird, but where would they live? " --
Drew Barrymore


** the largest of my inherited parrot fishes died yesterday. I went on to text my cousin who gave them to me. He said. " Don't be sad. He's now an angel fish. Give him a proper burial. Plant food! " He's a priest by the way, my cousin not the fish. They were his pets but gave them to me when he transfered parish.

'In a profound sense every man has two halves to his being; he is not one person so much as two persons trying to act in unison. I believe that in the heart of each human being there is something which I can only describe as a "child of darkness" who is equal and complementary to the more obvious "child of light." ' ~Laurens van der Post

"In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't." -- Blaise Pascal *

* Only got to post this now... This is a petal from the healing session with Bro. Carmelo during a novena mass for the Feast of St. Joseph several weeks ago... I have to wait a few weeks before I could laminate the petal. I figured it is apt for Easter...

Let's all be a miracle for someone else. Let others see Christ in us and see Christ in others.

Happy Easter!

The Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto came to visit our parish earlier this afternoon (St. Augustine) following the start of the celebration jubilee year of the Diocese of Malolos in the morning at the Cathedral. I almost missed him as I was late for the rites. But was fortunate to see him walking to his car. I wasn't late for the high mass though, concelebrated by the priests of the northern district of the diocese. There is a collective wave of faith when you get to be part of the church celebration like this... I always feel extra blessed during high mass. Can't help but be proud to be a Catholic. :)
