Lord Jesus Christ,
help us to pray and say
our goodbyes
just like you
and St. Paul 
in today's readings.
How lovely to keep in mind
that the word "goodbye"
is from "God-be-with-you"!
Leaving and separation,
whether temporary or permanent
like death is the most painful part
of living and loving;
like you on that last supper
and St. Paul as he departed from Ephesus,
may we also pray for our loved ones
to be left behind; let us be realistic too
in our goodbyes so that they we leave
behind are not just warned of the
coming dangers but most of all,
be equipped in you.

“I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock. And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.”

Acts of the Apostles 20:29-30

Whenever we leave home,
whenever we leave a gathering,
may we leave the people with the
beautiful experience of your loving 
presence in our giving than receiving,
 in standing by your truth, rejecting 
 lies and dishonesty,
in relying more on you than in ourselves.
When we leave,
may they remember you more
than us.
Amen.

Malnutrisyon

 16,777 total views Kapanalig, kapag usapang malnutrisyon, ang ating unang naiisip ay kapayatan at gutom. Ang larawan na bumungad sa ating isip sa usaping ito ay ang sobrang kapayatan pero malaki ang tiyan, tuliro ang itsura, at kabagalan sa pagkilos. Pero kapanalig, ang malnutrition ay hindi lamang undernourishment, sakop din nito ang overnourishment. Ang malnutrition, ayon
