Netizens' Fasting for Lent

There is a different kind of fasting a Christian can do this lent:  
Restraint from expressing anything negative on the internet, on fb, on twitter, anywhere on the net. No matter how honest it may be. Just restrain.

Fast.

Expressing negative feelings, specially frustrations, can always provide venue for arguments, misunderstanding from people you know, from people you don't know. You may be able to vent out but there will always be someone to talk back and you'll never hear the end of it.

This lent, lets fast for peace. For netizens. For those who bully. For those who steal identities. For those who see the internet as venue for scams and deception. For those who are so lured and willfully ignore their family or work responsibilities in exchange for the entertainment they get from the internet. For those who are so close-minded that each time they see something that opposes their belief, they would scream their minds out with all the curses and exclamation points and everything else just to get that anger across the site.

Let's fast and reflect for ourselves, that we may contribute to peace instead of adding up to the noise of this world.

Today, we start remembering our Lord in his 40 days fast on the desert.

Let's fast with the Lord.

May kakaibang klase ng pag-aayuno na maaaring gawing ang isang Kristiyano ngayong Mahal Na Araw:  Pagpigil mula sa pagpapahayag ng anumang bagay na negatibo sa internet , sa fb, sa twitterkahit saan sa net . Kahit gaano pa katotoo ang nararamdaman na ipinahahayag mo . Pigilan mo.
Ayuno.
Kadalasan, ang pagpapahayag ng mga negatibong damdamin, lalo pagkadismaya, sa FB, twitter, ay nagiging okasyon lang sa di pagkakaintindihan, palitan ng masasamang salita, dala ng biglang pagkainis o lukso ng nararamdaman.
Ngayong Mahal Na Araw, mag ayuno tayo para sa mga netizens . Para sa mga taong mapang-api sa net. Para sa mga taong magnanakaw ng pagkakakilanlan . Para sa mga taong ginagawang lugarng panloloko at panlilinlang ang internet. Para sa mga taong kinakalimutan ang responsibilidad nila bilang estudyante, bilang empleyado at bilang parte ng pamilya sa pagtulong sa bahay araw araw ngunit pinababayaan dahil sa entertainment na nakukuha sa intenet. Para sa mga taong nakakalimot ng kanilang pagkatao pag nagagalit sa mga nababasa sa internet at pinipiling magmura at mangaway dahil hindi sila nakikita ng personal...
Mag ayuno tayo para sa ating mga sarili, na sana ay maging daan tayo at makapag dagdag sa kapayapaan imbisna makadagdag pa kaingayan ng mundo. Ngayon, sisimulan natin ang pag-alala sa ating Panginoon sa kanyang 40 araw na pagaayuno sadesyerto.
Sabayan natin Sya sa pag aayuno.

Remedy for Occasional Spiritual Amnesia

19 7 Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME"  (Luke 22:19) God knew that without Jesus, we cannot live up to our commitment to God. He knew we will have amnesia at some point. Or worse, not just 'at some point'.  We do have amnesia every now and then! One day, we are so spiritually high. Next day, we are floating in a sea of desperation. One day, we kneel down promising to be a good Christian, Next day, we are spewing fire over anything we can imagine. We forget. No matter how often we profess our commitment to God. We do forget. We do forget. WE DO. WE DO. WE REALLY REALLY DO! AND THAT IS WHY JESUS SAID " Do this in remembrance of me."   The Holy Communion . First celebrated in the Last Supper. Continuously being done in every single Holy Catholic Mass!   So we don't forget Him. So, if someone asks you why ta

Christians and Muslims United At Last!

The Unity of Two Worlds This  is the proof that with God, even the most damaged relationship can be healed.   For all of us who have been brain-washed by media for hundreds of years, making us think that Muslims are bad people, let the Christians who have lived and co-existed with them be heard:  the Muslims who are true to their religion are very loving people.  In the same way that the Christians who are true to their religions live the teachings of Jesus by heart and are loving people too. The Christians in UAE thank  His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, for such a loving heart, allowing our highest religious leader to set his feet in UAE.  We thank also our Pope Francis for being true to his mission, reaching out and becoming the channel of peace.  If one of this two heads refused the prodding of the Holy Spirit, this crucial, memorable historical event would not have taken place.  They are like Jesus and Mary saying
