Faith sometimes has no logic.

John 5: 31 - 47 Reflection
"He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light."
Reflection:
It is easy to believe something when we are able to witness how it happened, meaning, when it is logical. Logic is one of the many reasons why the world is going round. it makes our steps in place, our words precise, decisions and thoughts viable.
We are easily brought to this world belief that when something is logical, then it must be true. But in our experience, we encounter many instances where things become valid and true even illogical. one of these is love. Love can survive a relationship even if it seems too hopeless. Even how cruel a person, because of love, he/she can still care for his family and friends.
Similarly, faith sometimes does not follow certain logic - itFaith moves mountains, separates seas, heals the ill for decades, and raises the dead. This is what Jesus wanted us to understand - that we only need to have faith in Him who can make the impossibles possible.
We have believed in the prophets to be the light who gives us counsel in life; we have followed our teachers and leaders for their decisions and wisdom; we have risked our faith to those who taught us how to believe. yet, we must remember always that Jesus surpasses all these people. He alone can lead us to the right path. he alone can give us enough light on our journey to faith. he alone is the source of life we have been searching for to live and believe. If only we have this faith in jesus and knowledge of who he is in this world, then it would be easy for us to live.

Destiny

Sometimes THINGS happen almost repeatedly, one mistake today and tomorrow the same mistake you fall. And unbelievably they happen so fast but you can't track them anytime. Seriously! This is really sick! I always make the same mistake knowing that they are going the same route and end in the same feeling. My heart once advised that the next time it happen it would be a different game, a different feeling of excitement but sadly I was wrong. I still missed the last spark to make the feeling into reality, making the ending open like a movie always creating another sequel to finally seize the whole picture and story. But, maybe there are things that just won’t work out for some people. Instead there are other things that are just meant for them. Well, I heard this from people, and they call it destiny. Crap! If this is what destiny for me, then holy crap! I just can’t figure out how to move next time. Why can’t I just make the perfect move now? I’m not comparing but some people can

Notre Dame of Cagayan: Evangelization Through Education

History The Notre Dame of Cagayan is located in a far distant island called Mapun, Tawi-Tawi. It is one of the Notre Dame schools founded by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in the Sulu and Tawi-Tawi archipelago to respond to the literary education needs of the local people. Among the Notre Dame schools, NDC is one of the farthest if not the most challenging mission area of the oblates particularly with regards to transportation. The Notre Dame of Cagayan was founded by the OMI Fathers in 1958. Fr. Maurice A. Hemann, OMI was its first school principal and director. During that time, the Notre Dame of Cagayan (NDC) was the only high school in the island municipality of Mapun. That is why most of the professionals coming from Mapun are graduates of NDC.

Through the joint program of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) and Kidapawan City government, LSIs and PUMs are quarantined in the OMI retreat house, identified as one of the quarantine centers. In Kidapawan City, only a number of centers have been assigned for such delicate role of accepting person under quarantine. The decision was made by Bp. Charlie Inzon, OMI, the apostolic vicar of Jolo Vicariate, who was then the OMI provincial superior during their meeting with Mayor Joseph Evanghelista of Kidapawan City, early last year.
