Quakes in the City
Minutes after ten in the evening of October 18, 2021, the jolt came again. Online, a netizen posted this: “There it is: the earthquake for tonight. Now, I can sleep.” From those lines, we can sense a regularity in the quakes that a person could feel secure the quota of earthquakes for the day has already been reached or fulfilled, and that now we could rest. Till the next day. The fact is everything began some thirty minutes or so after ten of the evening of October 14, 2021.

THE WORD OF THE LORD
Gospel: Mk 10:46-52 As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take

Catholics Celebrate World Mission Sunday
The theme of this year’s World Mission Day – “We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20), is a summons to each of us to “own” and to bring to others what we bear in our hearts. This mission has always been the hallmark of the Church, for “she exists to evangelize” (SAINT PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 14). Our life of faith grows weak, loses its prophetic power and its ability to awaken amazement and gratitude when we become isolated and withdraw into l

By Merlinda Bobis Last Sunday, I received the sad news from Doods Santos that our friend France had passed that morning. It’s an immense and sad loss for many.
