Reflection on Today's Password from Chiara Lubich's writings - January 27, 2018

Today's password is ... Trust in the power of God's love.  As Chiara Lubich puts it, "Whether we suffer or whether we rejoice, always believe that God loves us immensely."

The past days I have not been feeling well because I have pains in my finger joints and it did not really bother me that much.  But this  morning, I was awaken by a terrible pain in my stomach that would reach to my back.  I felt that even in that moment, I was suffering somehow.  I was blessed that my mother was there to give me a massage and I felt better.  Truly, God loves me immensely!

Today's Password - 05.July.2017 - Wednesday

Chi ama trova la luce anche nella sofferenza
Whoever loves finds the light, even in suffering

"It is not true that one who loves the cross, as Christ has commanded us to do, finds suffering. 
One who carries it willingly even when it is hard finds love instead, finds God."

Chiara Lubich

Review - Pares in Baste in Butuan City

Pares or in English beef stew is here in Butuan City through Pares ni Baste.  Their food is affordable and customer service is commendable.  Here are some of the photos that I took.  I guess you need to check them out for yourselves so you will know what's inside the plastic bags, hehehe.




You can check them out across Butuan Doctors Hospital along JC Aquino Avenue and their newest branch at Montilla Boulevard across Butuan Mega Hardware.

Passaparola May 31
Essere dispensatori di gioia

Spread joy!

"There is a secret, therefore, of how to remain always in joy.  It consists in keeping our eyes fixed in Jesus, doing everything such that He would always shine in us. We already know the way.  Jesus lives in us if we strive to put His Word into practice, especially if we love Him in every brother, ready to give our life for every person, as He had done."

Today's Password - 15 May 2017, Monday

Cacciare dai nostri pensieri ogni giudizio sul prossimo Cast every negative judgment of our neighbor from our minds (Take away from our thoughts every judgment on our neighbor) "Jesus affirms: 'How can you say to your brother - Let me take that speck out of your eye, while all the time the plank remains in your own? (Mt 7:4).' Jesus knows us sinners better than we can possibly think and He sees clearly that we tend always to make excuses for ourselves and to condemn others. If He grants us just a little understanding of 'who we are' we see that His words reflect our own situation. He warns us to start by removing the plank from our own eye, so that we will be able to lift the speck out of our neighbor’s." Chiara Lubich Diary 1964/65 p160
