Here are the 8 Great Challenges of the World…

Last week, I talked about Living in the Tensions in terms of accepting the paradoxes of life. This week, let’s talk about living in the tensions in terms of it being a prerequisite for discernment.

Living in the Tensions
Last week, I talked about the 20 Things I Learned in Life. I forgot to put in that list one really important lesson I have also learned. It’s good though because then it gives me a chance to talk about that topic today.

I first heard this story from a Jesuit priest when I was in High School. I remember he asked the choir to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before he said the homily. I also remember Fr. Bill Abbott, SJ sending me an email and ending with this story when I was teaching in Cebu. [...]

7 Foolish Excuses You Need to Stop Using

The priest in the mass I attended last Sunday talked about the gospel of the weeds and the wheat. I’m not sure if that was supposed to be the “real” Gospel (I’ve lost track of these things already), but he lost me after around 5 minutes of his droning. He lost me at hello. Hehe. [...]

Christianity is Communion
In the much-talked about movie The Priest, we have a priest who gets into a scandal for picking up a man and having sex with him. We also have a father who molests his own daughter. And we have parishioners who judged everything that happened.
The film ends with a mass. In that mass, everyone is [...]
