the smallest volcano in the world!!!


Together with my community, we were able to visit the smallest volcano in the world inside its crater. Imagine that! That was amazing! It was awesome! Superb! ... The place was so peaceful, i feel like i'm in paradise.. you will see how wonderfully it was made from inside the crater. all we know, volcanos are violent but on this case, it was heaven...Its beauty was made out from the gusty, fearful and deadly works of nature. Now it is a place where you can find peace and serenity. Soon i'll be posting some of my pictures, I don't have it for the moment because i left it in Manila, I'm in Negros by the way.
i arrived here last September 8. So far, in happy in my stay here in Negros. I was able to see the people here once again especially the community, the carmel youth and to all the people whom i knew when i was here last summer. For now i was given a task to revive the parish youth here. I am happy with the task given to me. Here i can fully give what i have. Although it is a task but it is becoming more of a passion to me rather than a task. I'm excited with the series of activities which we are about to plan for the coming days...I'm enjoying my stay here... hopefully for the coming days still... until my next post... God bless!

Blessed Pope John Paul II

Image
“Santo Subito!” (Saint Now!)This was the loud cry of the people at the funeral of the late Pope John Paul II last April 8, 2005 6 days after his death on April 2. Six years later, Pope John Paul II is beatified - the third of the four steps to sainthood. The First step is the initial investigation of the person's life after he/she is considered for sainthood. It will be in the Diocesan level. After being confirmed, the Vatican will acknowledge a "Nihil Obstat." A Latin for "nothing hinders." In this stage, the person is called "the Servant of God." The second step is the establishing of the heroic act of the person. This will be led by a Postulator who coordinates the causes for beatification or canonization through the judicial processes which includes conducting thorough investigations into the life of the candidate, his works (writings) and deeds. It will be presented to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome. In this stage, the person is...

WHY US LORD?: A Reflection On The Typhoon Yolanda Calamity.

With the recent Yolanda typhoon calamity, one question stands out - "Why?" Why do we have to suffer like this? Why the death of my beloved ones? Why us Lord? Why…? Why…? Why…? I will not attempt to know how these victims of calamity formulated their questions because I was not there when the typhoon strike nor try to answer their question because I’m not God. I would rather see the process of communication between a God and His people. Pope Francis encouraged us to ask why to God. He simply explains how this question would draw God’s attention to his children. He likened the situation to a child asking his parents about almost anything with a “why”. The pope said "the child does not wait for an answer from his father or mother." rather the child will add-up more and will never stops asking and asking. This is one way of seeking attention from his/her parents – and with our brothers and sisters who were affected by the recent typhoon, an attention from God....

A New Open Space

Image
i want to explore things in writing but then my old blog name "Seminary life," doesn't allow me to do such. Since i am a seminarian, it would be unthinkable if i write something that do favors about Atheism, or some critics about the dogma of the church or perhaps my appreciation about some concepts in communism and the like. I can actually write about it but amvibalence might dwell on the minds of te reader. I decided to change it. I was thinking then of a new name for my blog, and still would have a taste of the Carmelite tradition and Spirituality. I came up with the words "Open Space." And where did i get this name? I copied and pasted an article here and this explains what Open Space is for the Carmelites. (I guess it is ok to Arie Trum if i copied this in my blog...anyway, the copyright belongs to the Carmelite Institute) SOME REFLECTIONS BY THE ARTIST ARIE TRUM In the early spring of 1992 one of my best friends Kees Waaijman, a Dutch Car...
