in such deep silence

Blessed Guerric of Igny (c.1080-1157, Cistercian abbot
5th sermon for Christmas (trans. SC 166, p.227f.; and Cistercian Fathers series)

"Those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit"

Truly it is «a trustworthy word and deserving of every welcome» (1Thes 1,15), your almighty Word, Lord, which in such deep silence made its way down from the Father's royal throne (Wis 18,14f.) into the mangers of animals and meanwhile speaks to us better by its silence. «Let him who has ears to hear, hear» what this loving and mysterious silence of the eternal Word speaks to us...

For what recommends the discipline of silence with such weight and such authority, what checks the evil of restless tongues and the storms of words, as the Word of God silent in the midst of men. «There is no word on my tongue» (Ps 139[138],4), the almighty Word seems to confess while he is subject to his mother. What madness then will prompt us to say: "With our tongues we can do great things; our lips are good friends to us; we own no master" (Ps 11,5). If I were allowed I would gladly be dumb and be brought low, and be silent even from good things,21 that I might be able the more attentively and diligently to apply my ear to the secret utterances and sacred meaning of this divine silence, learning in silence in the school of the Word if only for as long as the Word himself was silent under the instruction of his mother...

«The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us» (Jn 1,14). With complete devotion, then, let us think of Christ in the swaddling clothes with which his mother wrapped him, so that with eternal happiness we may see the glory and beauty with which his Father has clothed him.

Happy Day Three

Hmmmmmm.

1. Commitment of our Home Visit volunteers.
2. The calm-ness of King during the entire HVV's processing.
3. Being able to sleep at the couch at the resource center. Haha.
4. "Happiness is having a sister" :)
5. 426-6001 Local 5161.

I waited, waited for the LORD

Psalms 40,2.4.7-8.10.11.

I waited, waited for the LORD; who bent down and heard my cry,
And put a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God. Many shall look on in awe and they shall trust in the LORD.
sacrifice and offering you do not want; but ears open to obedience you gave me. Holocausts and sin-offerings you do not require;
so I said, "Here I am; your commands for me are written in the scroll.
I announced your deed to a great assembly; I did not restrain my lips; you, LORD, are my witness.
Your deed I did not hide within my heart; your loyal deliverance I have proclaimed. I made no secret of your enduring kindness to a great assembly.

Happy Day Two

[tagged by Inca] Happy Day One

Dahil magandang ideya ito, para bang "count your blessings" thing. :P At dahil mahal ko si INCA na tinag ako sa meme na ito.

The rules are that for 8 days, you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same.

Happy Day One (in no particular order):
1. Lunch with Guita at Glorieta 4. Then sabaw-ness for the last 30minutes of our time together today. Went around at the Department Store (uh huh). Hair color. Eye liner. Shoe pads. Band aid. And lastly, made a promise of doing something really different come March.

2. Christmas Gift from Guita: "The Gift" by Gidget Roceles Jimenez. Reassurance siya para sa next step. At tsaka early Valentine's gift niya hahaha. :P

3. Singing with Canticle of St. Francis. This keeps me sane every week. Yey, kinanta namin ulit ang "Tubig ng Buhay" :) Current favorite ko.

4. Happy St. Paul Day! :) Ang ganda ng insight ni Father kanina (hmm, di ko na maalala aling simbahan, kung St. Francis o MSJ). Ang tungkol sa Faith ni St. Paul kasi para sa kanya di naman niya nakita nang personal si Kristo, as compared with the other disciples.

5. The Rugrats. :) Ang dadaldal na talaga nung girls! :P

6. This meme. :) Thanks Inca.

time is running out

First Letter to the Corinthians 7,29-31.

I tell you, brothers, the time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away.

Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross [Edith Stein] (1891-1942), Carmelite, martyr, co-patron of Europe
For the First Profession of Sister Miriam of Little Saint Thérèse (©Institute of Carmelite Studies)

"So they left their father Zebedee in the boat... and followed him"

Whoever allows herself to be led like a child in the harness of holy obedience will reach the kingdom of God that is promised to «little ones» (Mt 19,4). Obedience led Mary, the royal daughter of the house of David, to the simple little house of the poor carpenter of Nazareth. Obedience led both of these most holy people away from the secure enclosure of this modest home onto the highway and into the stable at Bethlehem. It laid the Son of God in the manger.

In freely chosen poverty the Savior and his mother wandered the streets of Judea and Galilee and lived on the alms of the faithful. Naked and exposed, the Lord hung on the cross and left the care of his mother to the love of his disciple.

Therefore, he demands poverty of those who would follow him. The heart must be free of ties to earthly goods, of concern about them, dependence on them, desire for them, if it is to belong to the divine Bridegroom exclusively.

hay.

Pagud na pagod na ako. :( Wala na eh.

Prayers

Dumaan ako sa CMO kanina para kumuha ulit ng Mass Card... Hay.


"Maraming umuuwi" :(
