Holy Journey

Few more days to go before my 10 day trip to Holy Land... I want it to be not just an ordinary tour but a journey of new discoveries that would really help me deepen further my understanding about The Mabuting Pastol. I also pray that this would also be a journey towards my own healing, as a son, a brother, a friend, a person, and as a seminarian undergoing doubts regarding my vocation...

I hope it would really be a trip of a lifetime like what the travel agent told us yesterday during our pre-departure briefing. 

I hope it would be really a journey of sacrifice and prayer....

 Thank you Lord for this wonderful opportunity to finally have the chance to literally set my feet on the same groundwhere you were born, lived and offered your life for the unconditonal love of US SINNERS...

Pagbalik mo, share your stories with us. Kakaibang experience yan. At isa ka sa mga Kristiyano na nabigyang katuparan ang nais na mabisita at mapuntahan ang Holy Land.

Ako rin, lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa Diyos nang mag-Saudi ako at nabisita ko ang Makkah at Madinah. Last February, niyakap ko ang Islam. At masaya ako na nakilala ko ang Diyos.

I feel so envy kasi that is one of my dreams na makapunta sa holy land.. Sabi ko sa sarili ko makapunta lang ako diyan kahit mamatay na ako ... just hoping and praying that OUR GOD will give me a chance din na maka visit sa Holy Land hindi pa rin ako nawawalan ng pag asa i believed that GOD has a good plan for me kung papano ako makakapunta diyan.

Please share with us naman your trip and if you could send me some pictures i really appreciate it ..

Enjoy and GOD BLESS YOUR TRIP....hope you had a very blessed trip...Innocent

Hi Happy new year sayo kapatid na Jack...i used to work in muslim country for almost 7 years. Sobrang akong bumibilib sa paniniwala ng mga muslim, the way they are praying sobrang solemn talaga. Kaya sobrang nirerespeto ko ang kanilang tradisyun at yung mga nakasama ko na arab sobrang thankful ako na naging part sila ng life ko when i was working with them.

Para sa lahat Muslim man o kristiano kahit ano sekta , Importante sa buhay ng TAO ang lubusan natin siyang makilala na mula sa ating puso, parte ng ating buhay na pasalamatan natin siya dahil sa lahat ng ating kasalanan kahit paulit ulit pa ito, wala siyang sawang paulit ulit na nag papatawad sa atin.. GOD OR ALLAH IS GOOD ALL THE TIME...

Siya lang ang pwede nating takbuhan sa lahat ng unos sa ating buhay, Kaya hindi tayo dapat nakakalimot sa kanya. Dapat matutu tayo mag pasalamat sa kanya, at matutu tayong mag mahal nang kapwa natin, dahil ang diyos daw ay laging nasa puso natin. Kung kilala natin siya puro kabutihan ang magagawa natin, magiging masaya tayo sa mga simpleng bagay na naitutulong natin, at ang pag papala ng diyos ay laging sumasaatin..

GOD BLESS US.....May the spirit of our lord always be with us....
