Berend E @TraveOnWorld (851) • Georgia 17 Nov 23

I finally figured out, with no thanks to Google Maps, where the Saghoria Forest is and took a nice mid autumn hike last week Saturday afternoon. As forested areas go, its not that big, but when the whispers from the old Elm and...

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 20 Sep 21

As our days become filled with bizarre events, prayer has become an imperative activity we engage ourselves into. What is prayer? Prayer is simply a lifeline to God; a communication between the mortal and the Supreme...

So let me just say, if you haven't seen his retirement announcement that he had posted on Instagram yesterday, you really need to see it. Drew Brees decided to let his kids announce his retirement to the world and I swear it was...

Do you know who compiled the Bible?

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 10 Dec 20

Today we celebrate the feast of the Pope Damasus I, the Bishop of Rome from 366 to 384, an apostle who spoke strongly against heresies but ardently encouraged the veneration of saints. That is why we have saints. Pope Damasus I...

Sweet to taste but bitter in the belly.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 19 Nov 20

Once again, I reiterate that we are a few days away from the Solemnity of Christ the King which is on Sunday. That means we are concluding the liturgical year. That is why the readings are mostly taken from Revelation. Today, we...

This morning I reviewed the life story of St. Charles Borromeo. My father was named after him. It's my father's birthday today, the feast day of St. Charles Borromeo. So, I learned that not only was the handsome of a hunk saint...

The Hallow and the Hollow.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 1 Nov 20

Today is the feast of All Saints. A friend introduced me to a new saint - St. Fiacre, the patron of gardeners. He concocted potions for the infirm, I suppose. But that is not what I'd like to discuss, because on facebook, I was...

Who wants to become a saint?

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 16 Oct 20

I do, of course. But I don't think I am qualified. Why? Because there are requirements to become a saint. First, one must be dead. Second, one must have lived a venerable life. And if one did, the life will be scrutinized by...

St. Joseph - Protector of the Church.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 2 Sep 20

Indolence has come upon me, perhaps the result of the tiring work of the previous days. The feeling was made more drab when I heard an arrogant Catholic criticize Pope Francis for his support of an Argentinian nun housing...

Saintly Spanish Friar was in our midst.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 2 Sep 20

The Filipinos did rally a revolution against the cruelty of Spain, friars included, as epitomized in the Rizal classic Noli Me Tangere. Or so I believed - that that time before the turn of the century was Spain's most severe...

Jordan Lader @JordanLader (7406) • Sparta, Tennessee 15 Feb 20

Drew Brees has finally spoke up as to what he plans on doing this year. Not that anyone else is elaborating on these plans as of yet. They just want to keep you on the edge of your seat until a choice is made. It was announced...

Jordan Lader @JordanLader (7406) • Sparta, Tennessee 11 Feb 20
