OUR FATHER Reloaded
During the Eucharistic celebration one evening, the presider invited us to pray a different “Our Father”. I found the prayer poetic, beautiful, and meaningful that I saved a photocopy of it. I think this version makes the Lord’s Prayer more relevant to our present context. God, source of all our activity, we offer our prayer [...]
Finally, A Catholic Video Sharing Site
Finally, a Catholic YouTube-like video sharing site is launched today. It is called lovetobecatholic.com and its goal is to “provide a safe and entertaining place for people to access Catholic content on demand, 24/7.” It has always been a challenge to do a ministry that is both cool and relevant to those the Catholic Church [...]
Prayer for Kindling and Covering the Fire
Pat, an Irish missionary of the Sacred Heart (MSC), once led one of our community morning prayers. Before reading “Kindling the Fire” and “Covering the Fire, he shared the story behind the two prayers. He told us that not many years ago, Ireland had no gas, oil or electric fires nor central heating. Thus the [...]
Be Liberated By Linux. Dismiss Windows
There are many websites that offer comparisons of Linux and Windows. I think the most objective is this wikipedia entry. But if you do not like long explanations, I think Get GNU Linux is the best place for you to start knowing why you should install Linux and ditch Windows. The main reason why Linux [...]
A Search Engine For Your Favorite Bible Verses

Filipino Missionaries in China
I have been following the state of the Catholic church in China mainly through www.asianews.it and from the stories I hear from my own missionary confreres. It always sadden me to hear about the discrimination, persecution, and the torture inflicted upon bishops, priests, nuns and other church people in many corners in China. But it [...]
The Cardinal Arinze Webcast
Yes, the world-famous cardinal webcasts. If you can’t wait, you can click here to leave my site and begin listening to Cardinal Francis Arinze. The cardinal’s webcasts discuss “what the Catholic Church really is about and what her true message is on living a joyful and fulfilling life.”
I am convinced that webcasting and similar technology offer a new and powerful way of spreading and discussing in depth the message of the Gospel. That is why I am glad the Vatican has taken advantage of the popularity of this technology. Cardinal Francis Arinze is the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. The cardinal is no stranger to the world of new media. He appears regularly on TV and has produced almost about 2,000 TV programs with the Apostolate for Family Consecration.
Holy Rosary Podcast (Tagalog Version)
I have not podcasted for quite a while, so I said yes when Jun Asis of mabutingbalita.net asked me to help him make a Rosary podcast. The Rosary podcast we’ve recorded is in the Tagalog language. Since October is the month of the Holy Rosary, we thought it would be timely to make it available now.
Why pray the rosary? The main reason why we need to pray the Rosary is to remember in prayer the important events or mysteries in the history of our salvation. Each mystery of the Rosary is a meditation on a particular moment in the life and work of Christ.
Feel free to download or listen to the Tagalog version of the Holy Rosary by clicking the following:
