  • Wholeness (1st Sunday of Advent)
    “What does it mean to be whole?” It is a question that makes us wait since the final answer is the one that unravels—a slow unpeeling of the truth about who we are and who God is.

  • Sad and Glad “Crazy Rich Asians” at The Return of the King
    If we have labored and sacrificed with our King, if we have served His beloved poor, we will surely eternally share in the victory, power and joy of Christ the King!

  • Undivided (31st Sunday in Ordinary Time)

  • Fractions (27th Sunday in Ordinary Time)
    Fractions are difficult. Life is full of them. And yet we go on living till sunset despite our incomplete lives, despite the specter of love falling and fracturing into irretrievable pieces. We promise to keep on loving because we sense that love is who we are and love is who…
