What is in your heart matters.

Luke 11:37-41

Reflection

Be clean.
We always wanted to be better. you see, all of us wanted to be clean in life. We know for a fact that there are many things that makes us unclean. Many of our actions had led us into sin. Jesus in our gospel today shows us that He is not concerned of the outside but what is inside us.

today, we are asked by the Lord to allow our hearts to touch other people's lives. what matters in the end is what is inside us.

As we receive the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, may we have a heart ready to accept him. He alone can answer our thirst. He alone can make us whole again.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes, laws can lead us into hardness of heart. We see law as the main ingredient to all certainty. The Gospel presents to us and reminds us that what matters most is to let our hearts become real and effective. God is not so concerned about how we dress or look. He looks rather on what is in our hearts.

Today, may we be reminded again to be more loving and compassionate to others. God wants us today to search others hearts. God wants us today to us our hearts.

-----------------------------------------------
For us, it is very easy to perceive and recognize what our eyes see, what our ears hear. But God sees what is hidden from us. God sees what is in our hearts. and he is most concerned about that.

--------------------------------------------------------------

IN all our actions, may we always have the benefit of the doubt. it is not what we see that we can get. sometimes, our senses can fail and deceive us. may we see the goodness of others rather than focusing on the weakness and failures of others.

----------------------------------------------

There is a saying that we are defined according to our actions. but i rather say, we are defined ultimately by what is in our hearts.

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.
