Lord Give me that peace.

Lord Jesus gives me that peace!

Lord Jesus when I look at you,

I don’t further know what to do.

I feel peace, joy and the absence of pain.

Nevertheless; I find it difficult to explain.

I believe that you present everywhere,

You present here and also out there.

It is no wrong therefore to spend time wherever I feel please,

But the fact is, ‘away from the picture of yours I don’t have peace.’

I feel happy to wonder the beauty of nature,

And to experience that you are there.

But at the end of the appointed time I don’t feel free.

In fact my heart remains, empty.

In some way what our Reverence said hold true,

Only and only in the chapel will I find you.

However I can’t conclude that you are only in the chapel,

You are omnipresence or you present everywhere.

Lord Jesus gives me always that peace and joy,

And help me to make you known to the boys.

Stay with me Jesus wherever I am,

And may in my lives your kingdom come.

Gospel Reflection.

GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MARK, 8:34

JESUS CALLED THE PEOPLE AND HIS DISCIPLES TO HIM AND SAID, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me.’

This verse goes along very well with these phrases.

No cross, no crown.

No pain, no gain.

He that will have the fruit must climb the tree.

He who would gather honey must bear the sting of the bees.

It seems to very much apply only for the religious and clergy. Superficially yes but totally no. This verse invites all Christians to understand the beauty of hardship and suffering that each of us face in our daily lives and to transform it into a great wonderful glory.

The Final Mystey

The final mystery!

One day a pious brother who led the rosary completed the fifth glorious mystery by announcing thus, “and the final mystery is the coronation.” Many were amazed by his new method of concluding the mysteries and few didn’t realize what was going on during that particular time. A guy who walked side by side with him was taken up by his display of uniqueness and so this inspired him to do the same when his turn of leading the rosary came.

Two days after his turn comes when we reached in the third mystery he said, “in the quarter final, let us contemplate upon the Nativity.” And on the fourth mystery he announced this is the semi final, “the presentation.” So pray hard so that we can win and reach the final mysteries and of course to catch Jesus wherever he may be!

The day for their accompaniment came and so the good-for-nothing fellow went up to accompany the piano. To everyone surprise he played marvelously well to the point that this top-most musician in the community adore him in his heart. When the mass is over this musician who was considered by the community as the best of all bowed down and said, “I am so sorry for not accepting you as you are.” I am happy to be with you during the accompaniment. Then this new musician, “the considered to be good-for-nothing fellow,” said, “You see presumption do not always give correct evidence.

Presumption doesn't always give correct evidence

Presumption doesn’t always give correct evidence.

A cleric who was considered by many as a good for nothing was so delighted to see his dearest name in the list for the accompaniment in the chapel during the liturgical services. The assistant of the community usually arranged for two clerics. One was to accompany the guitar and the other was for the piano. The other guy who was considered by many as a top-most musician got discouraged to have seen that he supposed to play together with this good-for- nothing fellow. As usual their term to accompany in the chapel came. A top-most musician went to the chapel a night before. He tuned the guitar to the equal tune of the piano. He fixed the number in the board and the “considered to be good-for-nothing fellow did not come to help him. He waited for almost an hour but this guy didn’t show up. Out of frustration, the top-most musician left the chapel and angrily went to bed.

a weird definition of life

Life is not like a rubik's cube wherein we can solve matter just only with a given formula.

Mother Mary, "My Vocation Promotor."

Mother Mary, “My vocation promotor.”

I did my elementary and secondary studies in my parish school. When I was in class seven I wanted to join the Salesian, however my parents, teachers and the parish priests of my parish, suggested that I should join after my matriculation. I got annoyed and convert myself into one amongst those boys who performed illegal acts that was not applicable for the boarders. Almost every first Friday of the month my mother came to visit me and told me that she was praying for me asking the blessed virgin to help me on my studies and in my life.

Three years after experiencing those entire cow boys’s life, I again felt the call within me nevertheless; it gave me no peace unless I respond to it.

After class ten I expressed this desire to my parents and to my parish priest. They told me to consider about it. I without hesitation left all things even though it was difficult. A big word of thanks to our Lady and I do believe that it was the Blessed Virgin Mary who called me and is calling me to the congregation and to this ways of life.

Shower him your blessing dearest Lord.

Shower him your blessing dearest Lord.

The next day after the day of the passion of Christ, a well-played musician who belonged to the fraternity congregation was asked by the prayer leader to accompany in singing during vespers. It was then Saturday, the evening of the Easter vigil. Taking for granted for he thought that he will manage the show he took off the guitar with him to the chapel without checking it out the hymn he supposed to play. So after the usual leading, “O Lord comes to our aid and glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be word without end. Amen alleluia. He beat and strums the guitar to his content with a perfect timing but for the up to date wrong hymn.

The assembly was shocked and so a soft commotion was going on for they realize that he played wrongly. A shy disciple whose seat was right in the corner stood up and said’ “Dearest Lord shower your blessing upon him for he did not know what he is playing/doing.”

The three intentions for our Holy Father.

The three intentions for our Holy Father!

A humble brat came to visit his brother in the seminary. He had strong faith in the Lord. So he hardly put out a pray of petition in an increasing volume and he is so convince that the Lord heard our pray and He usually knew it before we could actually voice it out.

In the evening he joined the community in praying the rosary. He was shocked to realize that many clerics whom we consider as confreres walked along the path like those guys who had just finished the whole magnum of whisky. To make the situation worse three pious and active confreres continuously asked our blessed mother to intercede for our Holy Father for three times. This poor brat was amazed and then he asked the lord his favor, “Dear Lord first of all wake them up and then be kind enough to grant their wish for it seem extremely necessary for them!”

I love you this much mother.

A six years old boy named Archesz was once asked by his mother to attend the catechism class that was held every Sunday in their parish. When he returns home his mother asked him whether or not he manage to grasp the teaching of the teacher. To his joyful mood he said yes! And he told that the teacher elaborate something on the famous topic “LOVE.” So his mother asked him,” my dear son do you love me? If yes, then how much do you love me?

Filled with joy Archesz said yes mommy and then at that very moment he stretch out his hand like Jesus who died and suffered for us on the cross and said “Mommy I love you this much.”

His mother was amazed by his holiness and thoughtful behavior up to the point that she sent him to the seminarian to become a priest.

A smart ass!

A smart ass!

A boy, who was considered by many as a smart ass, wrote a short article. The assistants of the boarding who was in charge of correction and proof reading found out that his handwriting, his grammar and the flow of his idea was just horrible. So, not to offend the boy the assistants indirectly wrote a comment at the bottom of the page, “A boy whose writing is like this cannot wear with any shoes he wishes to!” 

It's extremely necessary!

It’s extremely necessary!

One pious brother intentionally prayed for the youth he encountered in the apostolate. As usual the response of the community was “Lord hears our prayer.” Immediately after his prayer of petition and without expectations another holier brother prayed the same intention. So when he concludes with the “let us pray to the Lord!”  The assembly responded, “It’s extremely necessary Lord that’s why he made it for the second time!
