viee:

now im really confused

dumbfounded

I was able to attend yesterdays laity talk, it was more than interesting.  I think i shld share it;

Topic:  LIVING THE FAITH IN WITNESSING FOR CHRIST

FAITH
We should put our faith into action so that people will be attracted to your own faith. "Let your light so shine so that people will see and glorify your father that is in Heaven"

WITNESSING
The faith we receive must not die in our heart somebody else must receive because it was somebody that passed it to us freely so we must pass it to other people.
Acts 1: 8 ("But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem"

We should be the Bible that people read through the ways of our life.  People take 10% of your words, but 90% of your action.

We should be an open christain and not a secret christain that hides his or her identity.

Today's topic which is the last day of the laity talk is:  A DAY OF RECONCILIATION

Today's Saint
Servant of God Sylvester of Assisi (d. 1240)

Sylvester was one of the first 12 followers of St. Francis of Assisi and was the first priest in the Franciscan Order. A descendant of a noble family, Sylvester once sold Francis stones which were to be used to rebuild a church. When, a short while later, he saw Francis and Bernard of Quintavalle distributing Bernard's wealth to the poor, Sylvester complained that he had been poorly paid for the stones and asked for more money.

Though Francis obliged, the handful of money he gave Sylvester soon filled him with guilt. He sold all of his goods, began a life of penance and joined Francis and the others. Sylvester became a holy and prayerful man, and a favorite of Francis—a companion on his journeys, the one Francis went to for advice. It was Sylvester and Clare who answered Francis' query with the response that he should serve God by going out to preach rather than by devoting himself to prayer.

Once in a city where civil war was raging, Sylvester was commanded by Francis to drive the devils out. At the city gate Sylvester cried out: "In the name of almighty God and by virtue of the command of his servant Francis, depart from here, all you evil spirits." The devils departed and peace returned to the city.

Sylvester lived 14 more years after the death of Francis and is buried near him in the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi.

Today's Saint
St. John Joseph of the Cross (1654-1734)


Self-denial is never an end in itself but is only a help toward greater charity—as the life of Saint John Joseph shows.

John Joseph was very ascetic even as a young man. At 16 he joined the Franciscans in Naples; he was the first Italian to follow the reform movement of Saint Peter Alcantara. John’s reputation for holiness prompted his superiors to put him in charge of establishing a new friary even before he was ordained.

Obedience moved John to accept appointments as novice master, guardian and, finally, provincial. His years of mortification enabled him to offer these services to the friars with great charity. As guardian he was not above working in the kitchen or carrying the wood and water needed by the friars.

When his term as provincial expired, John Joseph dedicated himself to hearing confessions and practicing mortification, two concerns contrary to the spirit of the dawning Age of Enlightenment. John Joseph was canonized in 1839.

Quote

"And by this I wish to know if you love the Lord God and me, his servant and yours—if you have acted in this manner: that is, there should not be any brother in the world who has sinned, however much he may have possibly sinned, who, after he has looked into your eyes, would go away without having received your mercy, if he is looking for mercy. And if he were not to seek mercy, you should ask him if he wants mercy. And if he should sin thereafter a thousand times before your very eyes, love him more than me so that you may draw him back to the Lord. Always be merciful to [brothers] such as these" (St. Francis, Letter to a Minister).

Guess whose back!

The one and only Lawpil bros how you dey?

Hope your all doing well and thanks for not missing me or asking about my whereabout! I really appreciate it! Hope you don't miss me some more as usual

who talk so, sey we no miss you We really miss u and u know that.
How hv u been?

I wanted to attend Mid-day mass at Falomo this afternoon, but i had a 'monkey' flown my way to cage, A 'terrible monkey' at that,

Hope it's not a Gorilla

Now it's almost 6pm, evening mass, guess i should pack my stuff now and leave if i intend making it,

Were u able to make it?

As for morning mass, it would have been the best, but i have a very bad habit of waking up at 7am on week days, Maybe because it takes me only 15mins to get to my office,

That makes the two of you (viee and lindiwe)

Viee were you able to attend yesterdays laity week, i couldn't attend closed late 4rm office (i felt like crying).

Carlosein:
u should try it u know

e no easy o, except its use to you, its only early sunday morning i can boost of.

ha d interpol finally found Oby
sup girl

which interpol (na u get your mouth)

Carlosein:
sorry, i'm a morning person (was there this morn). sides am not as lucky as u in closing early

pray for us sha

Before the week runs out since its after evening mass, you can still make it may be once this week, if time permits u.

I think d topic is same in every parish.  The topic of today if i can remember is about witnessing for Christ ( i can't really remember)

viee:
Be happy


We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then, we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - REAL LIFE. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then, life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with, and remember that time waits for no one. Stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die -- to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Very nice piece, sure happiness can never b quantified.

hello house, present o.  i can see d thread is still booming with our new house mate Lindiwe.
You are welcome sis, have a spirit filled encounter in da house
