The Apostle would have us keep silence, for in silence he tells us to work. As the Prophet also makes known to us: Silence is the way to foster holiness. Elsewhere he says: Your strength will lie i...

“ Have you ever listened to yourself talk? I mean, have you ever tried to listen to what you’re saying, like, how do you sound to the person you’re talking to? Do you come as arrogant or, perhaps, insincere?  How about sincere and humble?”

Virgen dela Regla pilgrim

Billy Morales, 50, has been coming to the the Virgen dela Regla parish for 20 years now. The blind person from Leyte plays a makeshift single-string instrument cobbled together from bits of wood. He uses an empty bottle of liniment as guitar slide.

Billy says he comes to Lapu-Lapu every fiesta as “panaad” or religious vow to the Lady of the Rule. He prays for “grasya nga mabuhi.” On a slow day, he gets P100 in alsm. During the fiesta, he can get up to P1,000 from generous churchgoers.

Original Peace

It is not necessary to search for peace. It is within. Your original state is one of peace. Learn to be in charge of yourself and maintain your peace: centre your awareness on your spiritual form - a tiny star-like point of light, seated in the middle of your forehead. Really experience the difference between You the Sparkling Star, and your body, the physical vehicle. Learn to detach yourself from the vehicle. Even a few moments of this practice, if done regularly, will return you to your natural state of peace. And your actions will be filled with love - for the self and others.

CEBU, Philippines - While there are dishes that require the strict compliance of procedure, Plantation Bay's Manny Gonzalez pointed out that there are also dishes that would only require a complete set of ingredients, and I would add, common sense.

The latter I have to add, because some might think that it's alright to, let's say, put in the vegetables first before the oil when sautéing. Although, come to think of it, broiling does sometimes add flavor to the dish, but common sense would be needed for one to decide on what is best for the dish that he's making.
