Easter: The Greatest Celebration in the Christian World

The Resurrection
At the outset, I wish greet everyone, a Blessed Happy Easter! Many people, most especially the young ones, think that Christmas may be the merriest, most-awaited, and most-enjoyed, thus the biggest celebration we have in the whole year.
But wait, this is not to belittle the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, or His coming [...]

Jesus Crucified!

Today, Good Friday – our Day of Salvation – the Christian world commemorates the passion, crucifixion and death of Jesus, the Son of God made Man, Who sacrificed His life for the salvation of mankind.
No greater love has there ever been! Jesus went through all the pain, the shame, the rejection and persecution, in order [...]

I’m Back - Again!

Hiiii everyone who had visited this site during the Christmas Season, I lamely say “I’m very sorry” I have not been here, it’s only now I have opened this site (since more than a month! ) I’ll not just offer any excuse, I have to admit other priorities have taken my time. But as [...]

More On The Holy Rosary

“Say the Rosary every day…
Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners…
I’m Our Lady of the Rosary.
Only I will be able to help you.

“Now, I [...]

My Birthday 2008

(I’m so very sorry this is posted late, but may I still use my special day as the date, for this was supposed to be? I couldn’t let this day pass by without acknowledging it. I was already barred by circumstances beyond my control last year, and so it passed by this blog silently. But [...]

When the “Flood Gates of Heaven” Open

I have reflected on the topic of my last post, and I’d like to connect it with even just some of God’s wonderful Providence, He has been so amazingly good, the family has been so blessed, such that it is not possible for me to mention all. This post therefore is a testimony, and given [...]

Our “Virgen Sang Barangay” in Prague

Last June 15, the Filipinos in Prague, and at that time we were part, were reminded of our hard-earned independence as we celebrated the Kalaayan 2008. For once, we paused and took time to pay respects and honor to our beloved heroes, the brave men who sacrificed much, even with blood and life, just to [...]

In Manila

Where is mom811 these days?
Since January 5, I’ve been in the capital city of Manila. Though being online could only be in an internet café, I’d find time to be in touch with the blogworld, now that I’ve broken the “fast” (breakfast after a long night?), just to prove to myself I can really do [...]
