Tatay's Day (Pillars of The House)✍️

Madali ang maging tatay, pero mahirap ang magpaka-Tatay!  Mahirap ang magpaka-Ama!

Fatherhood is a mission placed on men by God; hence, it is a duty that cannot be delegated to others. One needs to have a burning desire to provide for his wife and kids, not just physically or financially but spiritually above all else, if he wants to be a father in the true sense.

As a father, you are responsible for leading your family to Jesus, the Only True Shepherd, as God has entrusted you your wife and your kids, as your sheep to tend to. Teaching your children how to pray is another approach to drawing your family closer to God. But if children don't witness you praying, how will they learn to do so? As a sensible father, you must set a good example and be a role model for your family. Demonstrate to them that you are doing it yourself in faith and obedience to Christ, sincerely praying for your wife and children, consistently reading the Bible, and with a strong commitment to perform godly duties, in which case you may win them to Christ. Ika nga, "walk the talk and practice what you preach," before you can influence your family or anyone else to do what you are teaching them.

As a father, do not only build a shelter on this earth for your family, but rather anchor their spirits and souls in Heaven Himself, who is Jesus, so they can experience Heaven-on-earth. And since you are considered the pillar of the house, do not be satisfied with simply doing the right thing, such as having the right views, making the right decisions, and behaving correctly, but rather make an effort to do things properly from a GODLY perspective, out of fear of the Lord. In so doing, you are giving yourself a lasting legacy that your wife and children will never forget.

Above all, follow Jesus and His word fervently to pastor your flock, as you and you alone are God's appointed priest for your household.

Ama, Papa, Baba, Tatay, Itay, Dad, Daddy, Lolo, at kahit yaong mga lalakeng bagamat hindi pa ama o hindi naman talagang ama pero gumaganap ng tungkulin ng pagiging isang AMA sa hindi nila kapamilya, kamag-anak or kadugo gaya ng mga Pastors, Mentors, Coaches, and Leaders, Happy Father's Day, po sa inyong lahat! 

And let us remember to give the highest glory, honor, and praise to the greatest, amazing, and loving Dad of all seasons and throughout all generations, our Abba Father!🫰

The Lord carried you, as a father carries his son. (Deut. 1:29-31)

SEARED CONSCIENCE

Image
When we watch exposés of millions in stolen funds, irregularities in flood projects, and shameless displays of wealth by heartless DPWH contractors and officials greedy for public funds, we, filipinos had these desperate cries in one accord: “Mahiya naman kayo!” “Nakakatulog pa ba kayo?!” “Makonsensya naman kayo!” Here’s the painful truth though:  Yes! They sleep soundly, without guilt, no shame, or fear while the nation’s outrage grows louder. Even if they will be subjected to exhaustive and intimidating interrogations by the Senate, the Blue Ribbon Committee, or any other government agency in pursuit of sentencing; or if we banged on the gates of Discaya or vandalized their house walls outside and we hold endless rallies in Edsa or Luneta or elsewhere, expressing our frustrations over their deep-rooted corruption, our actions will only be futile. The depth of their evil ways, the extent of their deception reveals their deadened conscience. Question: How could they do such a thing...

Every Gising is a Blessing ✍

Every Gising is a Blessing ✍ You got up today with a gloomy heart, scowling. You can't afford to grin, and you can't conceal your lousy mood. Your actions and words indicate that you are not grateful for another day. But have you ever considered that at this very moment, somewhere in the world, there are individuals struggling for their last breath? And pleading with God fervently for one more day to live? And that they would love to be in your shoes, to be given the strength to move once more.  Every breath you take and every beat of your heart is a marvelous gift from God, for which you should be thankful. "Buhay ka, not because you should be, but because may Diyos na nagmamahal sayo. He doesn't want you to perish, so He is granting you grace to live another day, and I hope you realize how much you are loved and valued by God." So, don't waste the day being an angry bird carrying ampalaya (este bitterness). The moment you wake up, wear a smile, and have that...

The Flagrum/Flagellation of Jesus (HolyWeek2024)✍️

The premiere of the 2004 movie "The Passion of the Christ" shows the suffering that Jesus endured at the hands of people. The film has a lot of controversy because it portrays Jesus' suffering as horrific violence. Most people believe that the injuries Jesus received in the film were excessive (using redundant words to express their disapproval of the film because they find it unbearable to see Jesus covered in blood), which is why they say that the movie is "OA."    In observance of Lent, I'd like to share some information about the truths or details of the sufferings that I learned during my True-Life Retreat in October 2017. I hope it gives you a glimpse of Jesus' agony on the cross. The instrument used to scourge Jesus is called "Flagellum or Flagrum" in Latin. It is a unique whip that is divided into three leather straps, and each is linked to a thong of sharp metal (lead) with a hook. According to the Shroud of Turin, the tip of the whip ...
