Stay foot

Some words of wisdom as we usher in the New Year.

Let's all start 2025 on the right foot, shall we?

Timely text

When Bonique sent me this screenshot of Tita Norma's post on Facebook, I told her that this was exactly what I needed and arrived at the right time.

This is what they mean when they say that true Frendz know what you need even before you tell them.

Still more words of wisdom from Fr. Dave

It's been a while since I attended a mass at EDSA Shrine with Fr. Dave as the officiant. For the past few months, I'd always catch Fr. Benjo.

But today, I caught Fr. Dave! True to form, he gave a very spirited and humorous homily, but one that's rooted on a very important lesson - humility.

Today's words of wisdom:

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less."

True words, Fr. Dave. True words indeed.

More of Fr. Dave's wisdom

It's been more than a month since I last heard mass at EDSA Shrine. The past masses I heard were at OLPH Parish which is nearer the house.

Today, I decided to go back to EDSA Shrine and was lucky because Fr. Dave was officiating the mass. It's been a while since I heard his homilies, and miss his combination of scripture, relevance and humor.

Being the first Sunday mass of 2013, the theme of his homily was about turning a new leaf this new year. His homily was so rich with insight and facts, including the 4 types of people: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and digital.

But what struck me most was his final word for the parish goers, which also served as his wish for everyone who attended the mass. He said:

"This 2013, strive for growth, not just change." 

Fr. Dave continued on to say: "The truth is, you can change but not grow. But if you grow, you will always change."

Wonderful and wise words to start the new year with.
