Fairy Tales
Fairy Tale Lessons (from tumblogs):
Falling in love is not always a “happily ever after” story. Most of the time, it’s just “once upon a time.”
Why was Snow White given a poisoned apple? - to show us that not everyone is gonna be kind & not everyone is really who they say they are.
Why did Cinderella run away at midnight? - to remind us that everything does have its limitations, even dreams.
Why did Ariel exchange her fins for feet? - to show us that people are willing to give up anything to be with who they love & to just be happy.
Why did Aurora sleep for 100 years? - to tell us that you might have to wait for quite some time for your true love to come along, sometimes very long, but it's worth it.
Why did Princess Jasmine fall for Aladdin? - to let us know that what the heart wants, it wants it no matter what.
Why was Belle in love with a Beast? - to remind us that you can't really help what's on the outside, but if the inside is beautiful, then nothing will stand in the way of your love.
Sometimes you have to forget what you want to get what you deserve.

* We're afraid of staying together because we know we'll both be destroyed.
* Losing your balance for love is part of finding balance in your life.

Pray. Pray much. Pray on.
Fr. Jerry Orbos
It is always an inspiring sight to see a person with head bowed, and knees bent in prayer. In whatever way, or in whatever form, a person in prayer is a person at peace. The value of prayer is not just the belief that our petitions will be granted, but the assurance that we are not alone, that there is someone listening, and that there is some hope and direction amid our loneliness and confusion. Pray. Pray much. Pray on.
* * *
When was the last time you really prayed, and prayed really? There are times when, try as we might, we come to a standstill, and we hit rock bottom. At such times, pray. Pray angry, pray mad, pray ugly, whatever, but pray anyway. And pray on. No need to pray beautiful. Just pray real.
* * *
The very first act I do every morning is to kneel down as soon as I wake up. This practice I learned from our formator, Fr. Michael Padua, SVD, when I entered the minor seminary in 1966. On bended knees, we do not need to say much because when we kneel in humility, we know who we are, and we know who God is. When we kneel down, with all our blessings and “achievements,” we know that all these come from God, and that they could be gone in a flick of a finger. When we kneel down, with all our burdens and problems, we know for certain, that there is someone bigger than us who can help us. Do you want to know who you really are, and what the score really is? Kneel down!
* * *
At the end of the day, kneel down. (If unable to do this, just bow down your head in prayer). Whatever transpired during your day, good or bad, happy or sad, lay them all before God’s heart, and surrender everything in prayer. Prayer at the end of the day provides the necessary “closure” to help us get a good night’s rest.
* * *
Try this: If you cannot sleep, hold your rosary or your crucifix. No need to say much. Just stay focused, then surrender everything instead of trying to resolve all your problems and concerns in your head. And yes, instead of counting sheep, count your blessings.
* * *
Why is prayer important? A text message I received says: “Prayer quiets our hearts, clears our vision, activates our faith and makes things happen.” If prayer seems not important to you yet, at this point in time, maybe that is the reason why your heart is not quiet, your vision is not clear, your faith is not active and things are not really happening in your life.

Not an easy path, indeed
Population Control
Praise God for Kuya Kirby's article.
A breather in the midst of all not-so-good things being hurled against the Catholic faith.
(an excerpt)
Let us not be swayed by the simplistic approach to solve poverty through artificial population control methods that hinder and destroy life. Let us go deeper and discover the real cause of our poverty, which is the decaying societal moral values that have resulted to extreme greed and embedded systemic and structural sins. The Biblical way is not an easy path to tread. It requires much love and sacrifice to solve the problem of poverty. The death of an innocent life of a baby in the womb through abortificient birth control methods nor condoms that hinder conception is not the solution to our poverty. Life is not to blame. It is sin.

Misery
Misery
(Maroon 5)
Oh yeah Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it
But you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I won't ever send
Somehow it is cut so much
Deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them be
So let me be
And I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting here
Don't care where I have to go
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad

Pray
06Oct Companion
There are many aspects to a successful prayer life. One of them is being too locked into a particular structure. I like to encourage people to experiment a bit with their prayer lives until they find what works best for them and when that stops working for them, find something different. This is not a license to give up on prayer but to be more committed to making sure that it is working for you.
How do you regard the Lord’s Prayer (Our Father)? Do you strive to live every word in this prayer taught by the Lord Jesus? Do you realize that the prayer is perfect as to lead us to salvation when lived fully?
Lord Jesus, may we take to heart daily the prayer that You taught us. Father, Thy Will be done.
