Creature is meant to live in Heaven, to share in this God-life. To be loved and to know how to love. To live in ecstasy and rapture, at the vision of beauty, after beauty, after beauty...

God's creation
"'Creation' has a broader meaning than 'nature'; it has to do with God's loving plans." -Pope Francis

Perseverance in Doing Good
When I do good, I shall not expect anything in return. Instead, I shall look only to the Lord whom I serve. If I get thanks, I am happy. If not, I will not be disappointed nor deterred.
For He loved us first.
God created the world beautiful, like heaven, blissful.
But evil entered into the world, causing our sufferings.
So Jesus became man and died to redeem us.
In the end, God will accomplish His purpose – having us for His children.
It is only right to return love for love.

New Lessons on God, Carefulness, and Contemplative Work :)
Outside of God, there is no good.
Outside of God, there is no love.
****************
In public places, always bring your valuable with you...Always.
****************
Ika ni St. Benedict, Ora et labora. So...
Work, work, work. But when God speaks, pause...listen.

Getting up from Falls
2/13/10 (Sat)
I realized something liberating... So what if everything falls apart? It is but a temporary setback. The fall may be hard, it may be a very low point, but we can rise again, rebuild. Haven’t I been learning that in the past 4 years? God has been teaching me that. And now God is teaching me even more that I can rise after every fall.
“The most successful men (including the saints) are not those who made no mistakes, but those who knew how to rise from each one they made.”
