ESTABLISHED in 1919 by socio-civic-minded Catholic women to promote their involvement in the work of the parish and the community, the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) has made significant contributions to the growth and maturity of the Catholic faithful, especially its members, in the eight and a half decades of its existence.
‘Grin and bear it!’
LET’S go lightly, it’s Sunday after all.
Of Philippine democracy
THE Lung Yingtai Foundation invited me to speak at a democracy forum in Taipei a week ago. Well-known historians and political scientists from China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Taiwan, the US and the Philippines were invited to speak on the state of democracy in their respective countries.

Bush, kicked off great expectations in the people of both superpowers, plus the rest of the Asia-Pacific region and the global community.

The good shepherd
[Jesus said,] "I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I will lay down My life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from My Father."
The prophecy on antichrist
MY first article in this column appeared last May 5, 1986. This was twenty (20) years ago. There is one common theme pervading in all my articles through all these years. And that is to encourage, challenge, and stimulate others to read the Holy Bible – regardless of one’s religion. So that we will know more about our Lord God. His attributes. His promises to us. His expectations of us. Because in our spiritual life, what truly matters is our relationship with our Lord God.
Summer circumcision
"In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity."
