Community in Matrimony

Some reflections on the Sacrament of Matrimony A very close friend of my recently got married, and of course it wouldn’t be a wonderful and intimate celebration without the presence of family and close friends. As one of his groomsmen, and probably the closest person to be assisting them in…

Da Mihi Animas Cætera Tolle

What if God is calling once more? People who are familiar with the spirituality of Don Bosco can surely recognize the title of this blog entry. Translated, it means, “Give me souls, take away the rest.” Apart from little bits and pieces of understanding the life of St. John Bosco…

The Way of Love

Reflections on the priesthood of +Rev. Fr. Anthony Chan P. Olaguer, III, LRMS — With the untimely passing of such a young priest, memories flood me of the many times I was a witness to the kind of priesthood he lived out. I recall my first time meeting him was at his Thanksgiving Mass right after ordination, back in 2006. I was straight out…

Never A Walk in the Park

Reflections on Lk 13:22–30 Christ, in last Sunday’s Gospel reading, spoke of sowing division in his presence, something that also disturbed the people who were listening to him at that time. This Sunday, Christ seems to be making it more difficult for us to follow and to eventually be with…

Christ Is A Disturbing God

Reflection on Lk 12:49–53 We’ve grown accustomed to hearing and proclaiming Christ as the Prince of Peace, especially during the Christmas season. Easter is no different, as Christ, in his appearance to the Apostles, always greets them with the word, “Shalom”, which means, “Peace be with you.” Yet here we…

Overlooking Christ’s Work

Reflections on Martha and Mary We’re brought to explore another well-known, and oft-cited or quoted Gospel story this Sunday, as told to us by Luke. In a nutshell, you see Jesus visit the home of both Martha and Mary. We also see the two diverse responses between the two leading…

A Time for Good Shepherds

Being at a critical juncture in our country’s history with the national elections looming over our heads, Christ, in the Sunday’s Gospel, offers a clear picture of the kind of leader a country should choose, its citizens should elect, the voting public should put in positions of power. Yet the…

Desolated Yet Consoled

Finding God in the midst of the curveballs in life — Ave Maria readers who follow Emmaus and the Sunday reflections that I write have surely noticed that there wasn’t any activity this whole first quarter of 2022, and for a reason that may well need a lot of explanation. My 2021 ended with a spiritual drought. I was thirsty, parched…

Bringing Our Gifts to the King

Solemnity of the Lord’s Epiphany Lots of people are often surprised that there is no mention of the term “three kings” in the Gospel readings connected to the Solemnity of the Epiphany. There is no mention of the names of Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar either. What’s often overlooked in the…
