A sweet paradise of my soul

Reflection on Annunciation of the Lord

"This will was for us to be made holy by the offering of His body made once and for all by Jesus Christ." (Hebrews 10:10) "[Mary] was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be" (Luke 1:29)
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you." (Luke 1:35) "For nothing will be impossible for God." (Luke 1:37)

- It made me think what God's will for me is to be. I have found my purpose which is to seek God and love Him with all my heart, mind and strength. When Mama Mary first received Her calling, She felt great anxiety and fear but She reflected on what it meant to Her. I too felt troubled because I was not sure whether I was right in my discernment of my future calling for my vocation. But I felt great comfort and inspired to the large extend when I read that Holy Spirit would guide and show me the will of God. Because nothing is impossible with God, I believe He would help me in my time of needs. When I reflected on my life, like Father Raul C. de los Santos (365 Days with the Lord 2011 diary) I saw that God used my trials and difficulties to draw me to Him and follow His guide. I'm very grateful to God for helping me to discern my present calling to the Catholic Church. Mama Mary, teach me how to put all my trust in God and His will for me. Thank you, Mama Mary. Amen.

Divine Praises

My all the time favourite song. It never fails to stir up the joys of my heart. Blessed be God forever and ever. Amen.

Praise Her with a Flower

It moved my heart so tenderly that I cried.

Blessed Sacrament

It was the second day of the Chinese New Year when I had nothing to do as I stayed at home. So I decided to pay a visit to the Blessed Sacrament to spend time with my beloved Lord Jesus. It was in the afternoon when my feet made a way into the adoration room. Since there was much time to spend before the hour of Divine Mercy, I decided to pray and mediate. After a while, I noticed a shadow movement in the Host. My eyes stretched hard themselves in order to capture the picture. Instantly, my mind made a picture of it and described it as the face of Jesus Himself! I could not believe my eyes and thought it was my imagination. I continued to stare hard. It still stayed there and made a slight movement around the circle. Yet I could not sense any emotion in my heart. But I continued to show my reverence to the Lord. By the time I finished the chaplet of Divine Mercy, it still stayed there while I started leaving the room.

The next day, I confided t to my friend. He told me that I was lucky to see His face as his friends had also told him that they saw similar vision as mine. My godfather also said that God blessed me. I could not believe my ears! At this moment, my zeal and love for God were strengthened and heightened by the grace.

A glimpse of happiness

I managed to have a one-hour walk to my home after work today. For some reasons, I felt so happy that I could not help smiling all the way to home. It is not because I could exercise this way. But rather I felt blessed and saw that God is with me all the time as He promised. God showed me how beautiful His works were as I was walking. That is why I felt happy. Yes, my job is a blessing from Him because it is really the best job for me. He heard my prayer and answered. Praise God forever and ever! Amen. Now, I can have one hour walk to home as often as I desire after work. It is excellent and marvelous chance to train myself for marathon, triathlon and burning fats. God is really amazing! Alleluia!

First post in the new year 2011

Recently, I had been wrestling with the sloth thing in me. It was tough but I did not give up. Anyway, this year 2011 is a new start for me as I just started working full time last week. This job is really a gift from God because I asked Him for job. While I was having difficulties in finding jobs, suddenly a friend came forward and offered me the job position. It is really a miracle in my life because I am able to go to the church for mass every morning and have a lot of time harvesting my prayer and spiritual life. I must continue seeking Jesus with all my heart, strength and mind in my life.

Today, it touched me:

"Jesus, Lamb of God

Worthy is Your Name."
