Resolve right now to persevere in your quest for God until you reach the heights of the spiritual life. “Strengthened by so many and such great means of salvation, all the faithful, whatever their condition or state – though each in his own way – are called by the Lord to that perfection of sanctity by which the Father himself is perfect.” CCC 825 #ontoHoliness #iamEvangeline_ #Faithful2020 (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKk2A0hFtI/?igshid=1f47xdu51qw9j

29 June Forever blessed to be born on the day of the Solemnity of Sts Peter and Paul, making them my guides and inspirations growing up. Like these two pillars of the Church, may I always accept the Lord’s will, even when it is contrary to my will, even when it leads to suffering. May I always decide to surrender control of my life and destiny to Jesus, so that God may be able to do great things in me and through me. “Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my will and make it thine. Take my heart it is thine own. Take my love; my Lord, I pour at thy feet. Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee.” —— Though far away from my family/home, forever blessed and will forever be grateful to still have love, family, home here in SG through the Agustins!

God will certainly reveal our calling to us, if we have sincere hearts for the Lord and in sincerity wait on Him for direction. And when He has called us, we must respond in ready obedience to the call. #iamEvangeline_ #ontoHoliness #Faithful2020 #evangelineism https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPt-fshhNH/?igshid=1rk35jty9qe6g

Everyday, do something that will lead you closer to the Lord. With an open heart, you can draw near to Him, just as you are, right where you are, and He will fill you with His peace and goodness all the days of your life! #ontoHoliness #iamEvangeline_ #Faithful2020 #evangelineism (at Kata Beach Phuket) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZer0JhGN3/?igshid=imol6e3j079x

"Fortify me with the grace of your Holy Spirit and give your peace to my soul that I may be free from all needless anxiety, solicitude and worry. Help me to desire always that which is pleasing and acceptable to you so that your Will may be my will. Grant that I may rid myself of all unholy desires and that, for your love, I may remain obscure and unknown in this world, to be known only to you. Do not permit me to attribute to myself the good that you perform in me and through me, but rather, referring all honor to your Majesty, may I glory only in my infirmities, so that renouncing sincerely all vainglory which comes from the world, I may aspire to that true and lasting glory which comes from you. Amen." — St. Frances Xavier Cabrini #ontoHoliness #iamEvangeline_ #Faithful2020 (at James Bond Island, Pha Nga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-lbu2h7Wg/?igshid=1xhkrgt6jiis0

“Breathe on me, Breath of God, Fill me with life anew, That I may love what Thou dost love, And do what Thou wouldst do. Breathe on me, Breath of God, Until my heart is pure, Until with Thee I will one will, To do and to endure.” With the Holy Spirit I received, this life You’ve given me, may I always use it and fulfill the mission You sent me to. To be a life-giver to each person I meet. That every person who will encounter me will experience joy because it is You who they are encountering through me. It is Your love that they are experiencing through me. 🙏🏻 #ontoHoliness #iamEvangeline_ #Faithful2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CA233pWB5t2/?igshid=fgyxud70awou

08 September 2019 Of all the places to go to chill and walk and have fun while reflecting (bec it's re-consecration day to Mary), I decided to go to Universal Studios Singapore (since I have annual pass anyway). As I was walking and reflecting for my (re-)consecration prayer, i found myself standing at a leather bracelets retail shop, the usual kind where you can engrave your name on the plain bracelets they're selling for free. I was about to walk away but for some reason I went closer and browsed through the different plain leather bracelets. In the last row of bracelets, the one and only stretchable bracelet caught my eye. When i was asked if i want the free engraving, it just came into my mind at that instant these words "Totus Tuus". It is the apostolic motto of St. John Paul II, who has been a great influence in my life since i was 6yrs old. I've been desiring to have a shirt, a cap, a bracelet or anything with these words. I believe that as I was reflecting there in USS, it is the Holy Spirit that led me to that shop. That put in my mind these words so I can have a "Totus Tuus" bracelet - a personalised one. It was totally unexpected. A strange place to get this kind of bracelet. I believe it is grace. And a reminder that God is present everywhere. He can be found everywhere. As long as we are open, and are seeking, and are willing to recognise Him, like our Blessed Mother. When we have a desire to completely belong to God like Mary, we can always find ourselves in the presence of God.

08 September 2019 Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! Happy Baptismal Anniversary to me! Happy Marian (re-)consecration Day to me and Marie! Again and again, I will thank You Lord for the wisdom given to my parents, and for the grace that I be baptized on this day n-years back. Which is a day of celebration of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. And from then on, this day has always been a reminder for me to look to Mary to be my model as I continue to live out my life as a Christian, as a Catholic, and as a child of God. Today, I celebrated my baptismal anniv with a mass and procession at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. And my baptismal anniv is extra special this year because of the grace to be prayed over by two priests. First with Fr. Charlie Oasan, who has been the first priest that I met here in Singapore way back in 2014. Second is Fr. Bobby Emprayil, who I just met today, and i'm so blessed and overwhelmed for that quite conversation that we had before and after he prayed over me. Mother Mary, happy happy birthday. Thank you for guiding me and for leading me to Jesus ever since that day, and for always interceding in my prayers. Today also is even more special as today is my 5th Marian (re-)consecration day through the 33 Days of Morning Glory. Mama Mary, like my (re-)consecration last year, I give you full permission to do your work in me, that I may become a saint, and a true child of God fully surrendered to the will of God in my life. Teach me to know, to love, and to serve God. Teach me to always proclaim "I am the Lord's servant, may it happen to me as you have said." (Lk. 1:38) Totus Tuus! #evangelineism #ontoHoliness #33DaysToMorningGlory #Emmanuel2019 (at Asia/Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KBh-xhNd1/?igshid=1lzphnxp7h35g
