Dear Manny,



Thank you for all the glory you've given our country.  No matter what, you are a legend.

Thank you for rising up to the call, giving your countrymen something to look forward to in every fight you've had in the international ring uniting us all even for just a day---watching you, cheering for you.


Thank you for using the fame to benefit a lot of your poor countrymen, helping them however you can. Instead of keeping it all to yourself, Heaven knows the generosity you've extended to the needy ones.

Thank you for taking the opportunity to speak openly for God and spreading His Word.  It was so courageous of you.  You are an inspiration to many of your countrymen.

And now that someone else has taken the title that used to be yours, you are given a different kind of opportunity to inspire us all the more:  Submission to God's Will.


We know not what His plans for each of us are.  We only need to submit ourselves to wherever God is leading us.  His time, not ours. 

You're probably subjected now into 'trials', who knows.  Everybody does anyways.  Specially when one becomes so vocal and active in spreading the Good News.  Just stay put.  Or, maybe, had you won that fight, you might start threading the path of arrogance just like some famous boxers did, only to suffer shame later on, one way or the other, before the eyes of the whole world.  Maybe God is protecting you from traveling that path for you are so precious to Him and would do everything to protect you.

God loves you so much, you will be just fine.

There's a time for everything.  Even the Bible says that.  You will know when its time to stop fighting.  And when you do, stop.  You do not need to prove anything to your countrymen anymore.  You have already done it.  And we believe in you.  No matter what.

Love is Doing!

Do you know what love is? It's not just a feeling in your heart, it's also something you do! Sometimes, saying "I love you" is super important. But showing love with your actions is like giving a big, warm hug without even touching! These are called concrete acts of love. "Concrete" just means real things you can see and do! Let's think about ways we can show love to our family and friends, just by doing things! Helping Hands (Acts of Service) Imagine your grown-up is super busy.  What if you: Help put your toys away without being asked? Set the table for dinner? Help carry the groceries inside? When you do these things, you're saying, "I love you and I want to help!" It makes everyone feel happy and cared for. Special Time (Quality Time) Do you love playing games or reading with someone special? That's a concrete act of love!  Put down your tablet and listen when your friend tells you about their day. Ask a grown-up to play your favori...

Biblical Films in the Digital Age: A New Era of Evangelization

Who has watched The Passion of the Christ in its entirety and remained unmoved? Who has become hooked on The Chosen and is not continuously being transformed?  These powerful productions remind us of the enduring impact of biblical storytelling. Whether reliving the profound sacrifice or walking alongside disciples in their daily lives, these films bring ancient narratives to life, inviting us into a deeper, more personal encounter with the sacred. The dawn of the new evangelization has come. God is our God of the past, our God of the future, and our God of the here and now. In every generation, even the means of evangelization must adapt. And our Lord knows that. He will not be contained in the past. He will be among us, here. Now. As one of us. God and human, God incarnate dwelling among us, preaching of His Kingdom. Whoever has ears, let them hear.  - Matthew 11:15 (Watch this on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkfzovXpAVA  )

Take Away My Freedom

TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM (by Lea Maria) Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to turn my back on You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to hurt You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to hurt and be indifferent. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom not to love as You have loved me. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to live just for myself. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to be deaf and blind to the needy. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to waste the time that is meant for You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to ignore You when I know I heard Your call. I don't need these freedom, I don't want these freedom. Take away instead my life if my existence will be filled by these. For I only want to serve You and love You and glorify You. All the days of my life, O Lord, I belong to You.
