Sunsets...my Passion


Some of the sunsets photos that i took and never get to share it on any social networks...
Sunsets...always fascinates me...the moments so captivating...gives me a nice feeling of tranquility..peace..and serenity...the effects of sunsets to me..



Sunsets...God's mighty works...separates day and night
When it comes...we call it the end of another day's activities...
God's living creatures returns to its home...
Time to rest..time to ponder...time to pray...for thanksgiving
The blessings and the graces that we received for the day...




You...Sunsets.. is a magnificent art that God portrays for us mankind
And for us to indulge in its natural beauty...
To remind us...what an awesome God we have...



Come... Sunsets...be there for me...today...tomorrow...and forever
As my awesome God does...will remain there...
Always there...day and night.

Letter to Mother Mary

Sharing with all of you what crosses my pathway this morning...a loving letter to our blessed Mother Mary who silently watches over us,continuous interceding for us,enfolding us in her loving arms,guiding and protecting us at all times.

Dearest Mother...

Today I met a stranger
Even though a brief encounter, it got me to wonder.
You know I am a sinner, yet you have made me a winner.
Sometimes when I look at what I have and
then compare it to what I would like to have, I am very disappointed.
Then at other times when I look at what I have and compare it to what I truly deserves, I kneel in gratitude to You, for I deserve nothing....

You have always been by my side.

You have shared my most profound happiness and deepest sorrows.
You have laughed with me.
You have cried with me.


When the burdens of this world seems to crush,
When the tide of despair seem to drown me and when life seems so bleak and there seem to be no reason to live a moment lo
nger..
In Your own way you were there...
Sometimes in the form of a friend, sometimes in the form of a stranger...
But Mother, most of all...
Thank you for all the times when you were there and I did not even know it.

Dearest Mother...
Help me to emulate You
Give me the grace and the strength to be hu
mble like you...
for humility is the virtue upon which all other virtues are build on.

Mother...
help me to be charitable and generous, so as to be able to love like our Lord who loves unconditionally.


Mother Mary...
Please guide and help me to give back what you have always given me...
Give me the privilege to be your instrument...
Make me a lamp that gives light to those in darkness...
Transform me so that I am no longer a stranger to those whom You sent me to meet...
So that through me and because of You the stranger and I would be stranger no more but a reflection of You...a true friend to all.

Sunday School..."Proclaimation of GOD's Kingdom".


This morning the lesson was..."Proclaimation of GOD's Kingdom"....where have we heard this or where have we come across this...a simple answer is from The Luminous Mysteries...the third mystery. So what do we understand by Jesus proclaiming God's Kingdom on earth? Jesus came in person just to do that and HE was the much awaited Messiah who was to share with us the knowledge and the messages that comes with it through GOD's living word and that is our BIBLE. As we listen and understand through the parables that Jesus shared in Matthew 13...the parable of The Sower..the parable of The Weeds and the Wheat..the parable of the Mustard Seed and the parable of the Yeast we are being made to understand the mysteries of GOD's kingdom which is not a place or buildings but actually the values of everyday Christians living and which are peace,joy,love and righteousness.
Jesus was asked why he talks in parables and HE answered in such manner..in verse Matt 13:13...Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. With this I came across this passage from Isaiah 6:9-10

And HE said, "Go, and tell this people:

Keep on hearing, but do not understand
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive

Make the heart of this people dull
And their ears heavy
And shut their eyes
Lest they see with their eyes
And hear with their ears
And understand with their heart
And return and be healed."

Thanking all for giving time to read this posting...God bless all..
