⚪ Meeting Christ in a Foreign Land – The Eucharist in Georgia ⚪
5 PM – A Bucket List Mass: The Latin Mass Experience This was more than just another mass—this was an unexpected and profound encounter with God. As an expat attending a Latin Mass, I had tempered my expectations due to the language barrier. I knew the Liturgy of the Word would be in Russian, while the rites would be in Latin.

AGAPE Love | UAE MFC Handmaids Congress 2023
This will not tackle the whole talk I delivered during the UAE Handmaids Congress, but I’ll give a brief of how it goes. The session talks about LOVE. Where it all began, how it is used in the world right now and what kind of love we must possess and do. It all begin three ways: First, From the beginning -we know God the Father being the creator of the heaven and earth. He loved us from the very beginning. “We love, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19).

TGIT – 8 Counted Blessings Vol 4 It’s been a while since my last TGIT blogpost. The last one was way back 2018. Wow! That was close to 5 years! Don’t get me wrong, of course I’ve had more blessings than the usual things I share online. At times, it is best to keep it to oneself and make it more personal between me and God. By now, I realized its time to share another set of Counted Blessings. In time when everyone seemed to be uneasy because of the pandemic/post pandemic happenings and all other things happening way back home (in the Philippines), it is still important…
