the Holy Roman emperor Otto III founded a monastery at Pereum, near Ravenna, for Romuald and St. Bruno of Querfurt. The monastery served as a mission for the Slavs and Prussians. The most significant monastery founded by Romuald was Camaldoli (c. 1012), near Arezzo in Tuscany. It became the motherhouse of the new order, which combined cenobitic and eremitical elements with strict silence. By adding a note of severity to the Benedictine rule and by choosing the life of a hermit, Romuald initiated and helped to mold a movement that was to give birth to the Carthusians and the early Cistercians.

Bagong mukha ng Boracay

Mga Kapanalig, kilala natin ang Boracay sa natatangi nitong ganda. Ang maputi at pinung-pino nitong buhangin, malinaw na dagat, at magandang tanawin ay patuloy na dinarayo ng mga turista. Pero ang mukha ng Boracay na kilala natin ay mapapalitan na. Nagbukás na kasi roon ang isang casino. Ginanap ang soft opening nito noong Setyembre 16, habang ang grand launch ay nito lamang Linggo, Oktubre 11. May shopping mall ding magbubukás doon ngayong taon.

Ang Boracay ay isang lugar para magbakasyon, magpahinga, magsaya, at mamangha sa ganda ng kalikasan. Kapag naglagay doon ng casino at malalaking establisimyento, binabago na rin ang mismong imahe ng lugar na pangunahing rason kung bakit pumupunta roon ang mga tao. Hindi rin dapat kalimutan na family vacation destination ang Boracay. Ito ay lugar para mapalapit at magsama-sama ang pamilya. Ibang-iba ito sa layunin ng isang casino na ineengganyo ang mga tao na tumayâ at gumastos. Alam din nating dahil sa mga casino, marami nang kaso ng pagkalulóng o adiksyon sa pagsusugal, pagkawala ng perang nakalaan dapat para sa pamilya, at pagkasira ng tiwala sa loob ng tahanan.

Ito ang ipinunto ng Diyosesis ng Kalibo sa kanilang pastoral statement ukol sa pagtatayo ng casino sa Boracay. Iginiit ng mga pastol ng Simbahan doon na hindi naman masama ang paglalaro, pero nagiging mali ito kapag nauuwi sa pagkakait sa sarili o sa kapwa ng mga bagay na kailangan sa pang-araw-araw na buhay. Ito ang panganib na ibinababala ng Simbahan. Ang pagka-casino ay idinisenyo para akitin ang mga taong maghangad pa kapag nananalo at magbakasakali pa kapag natatalo.

Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na tumutol ang Simbahan kasama ang mga residente sa pagkakaroon ng casino sa Boracay. Taóng 2018 nang unang lumutang ang plano. May mga pangamba na sa mabilis na pagbabago sa isla, lalong masisira ang kalikasan. Kasama pa nilang tumutol noon si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Sa parehong taon, isinara ang Boracay sa loob ng ilang buwan para sa malawakang rehabilitasyon. Pero noong 2021, binawi ni Pangulong Duterte ang kanyang posisyon laban sa casino at pinayagan niya ang operasyon nito sa Boracay. Sinalubong ito ng pagtutol mula sa mga residente, negosyante, at lokal na Simbahan. Sa dami ng isinakripisyo noon upang maisalba ang isla, mauuwi lang pala ulit sa parehong uri ng pagbabago na dati nang naglagay sa Boracay sa alanganin.

Sabi sa Genesis 2:15, ginawa ng Diyos ang tao upang “alagaan at ingatan” ang Kanyang mga nilikha. Hindi tayo ang may ganap na pag-aari sa kalikasan. Tungkulin nating protektahan at panatilihin ito para sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Ang Boracay ay isang biyayang ipinagkatiwala sa atin. Dapat natin itong alagaan at ingatan.

Mahalaga ang pag-unlad, trabaho, at turismo, pero hindi dapat maging kapalit ng mga ito ang kapaligiran at pagkakakilanlan ng Boracay. Nangangailangan ito ng sama-samang pagkilos. Bawat isa ay inaasahang gamitin nang tama ang kalayaang mamili para hindi malulong sa pagsusugal. Ang pamahalaan ay inaasahang gumawa ng mga desisyong isinasaalang-alang ang kapakanan ng mga residente at kalikasan. Ang mga negosyo naman ay pinaaalalahanang hindi lang sa kita umiikot ang kanilang paglago. May pananagutan din sila sa komunidad at sa kalikasan.

Mga Kapanalig, tinatawag nating paraiso ang Boracay dahil sa ganda nito. Huwag sana nating hayaang dumating ang panahon na ang paraisong ito ay maalala bilang lugar ng mga sugalan at bisyo. Ang pagtutol sa ganitong establisimiyento ay hindi pagtutol sa kaunlaran. Ito ay paninindigan na ang kaunlaran ay dapat may limitasyon, at hindi dapat sumisira sa biyayang ipinagkatiwala sa atin ng Diyos na payabungin.

Sumainyo ang katotohanan.

TRULY BLESSED

Gospel Reading for October 12, 2026 – Luke 11: 29-32

TRULY BLESSED

While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.”

————

The Pharisees and Sadducees (Matthew 16:1), as well as the scribes (Matthew 12:38–39), kept demanding miraculous signs from heaven from Jesus to establish his authority, especially when his teachings contradicted theirs. Even the large crowds that followed him did so because of the miracles he had been performing (John 6:26).

What is absurd about this is that Jesus had already performed so many signs: healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, changing water into wine, multiplying bread and fish, among others. Yet, they were still asking for more signs.

As long as we live on earth, we will never have the chance to see God face-to-face. This is reserved for those who will be with him in the afterlife. But we will always be able to see God through the many signs he gives us, both extraordinary and ordinary, if only we put our COMPLETE FAITH AND TRUST in him. If we allow these signs to show us the way to the Father, we are TRULY BLESSED!

Lord Jesus, help us have eyes that truly see and ears that truly hear. Amen.

It might be you?

Please excuse me, Jesus
as I feel like singing
one of the songs during 
our college days by 
Stephen Bishop 
for the movie "Tootsie"
starring Dustin Hoffman:

Time, I've been passing time
Watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand
Watching sea birds fly
Wishing there would be

Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

I could hear you speaking
to me today, Jesus:
"This is an evil generation;
it seeks a sign,
but no sign will be given it,
except the sign of Jonah"
(Luke 11:29);
there are times I keep looking
for certainty, asking for a sign
from God for the things I have to do,
for the mission I have to accomplish;
but like your people,
we today fail or refuse to see you,
to find you, Jesus 
when you are
right in front of us,
always beside us;
and it is true, Lord Jesus,
I cannot find you in my life
because I expect something
more obvious or even something
more dramatic like in the movies.

Keep me simple, Jesus,
so that I may find you,
I may recognize you in
the most ordinary,
the simplest occasions
in my life,
among the people I meet daily
especially those I take for granted
or refuse to relate with.

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And with so much love to make, oh
I think we're gonna meet some time
Maybe all we need is time

And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before

Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life

*Photo by author, Chapel of Our Lady of Ephesus, Bella Rosa Gardens, Silang, Cavite, 07 October 2026.*

Yes, it's you, Jesus...
always you every time I wake up
and make that sign of the Cross
first thing in the morning;
it is you, Jesus...
when I see the light
and feel the warmth of
the rising sun;
it is you, Jesus...
when people and kids
smile at me,
when people ask for me,
when people listen and
speak to me;
it is you, Jesus...
when I still hope
and love and desire
for you.
Help me in my unbelief.
Amen.
