I was at Church of Sts. Peter and Paul last Thursday 26 June, and on the weekend of 28-29 June to sell Befriending Jesus to the parishioners. Thanks to the generosity of former parish priest Fr. Thomas Lim, OCD (who just stepped down) and the parishioners and visitors to the parish, 440 copies of Befriending [...]

When we say “outside the Church, there is no salvation”, do we mean that those who don’t belong to the Church are not saved? Do we mean that people who do not know God, but strive to lead an honest and upright life to the best of their knowledge are prevented from receiving eternal life? [...]

I just updated my reading list on the right sidebar. I managed a total of seven books last month, just one book shy of my target of eight books a month, or two a week. Doubt I can come close to the target in this month of May, because I’ve got quite thick books on [...]

I bought this domain name about a couple of months ago, and was initially planning to use it for a [...]

Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
Thus says the Lord:
Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom my soul delights.
I have endowed him with my spirit
that he may bring true justice to the nations.
He does not cry out or shout aloud,
or make his voice heard in the streets.
He does [...]

1 John 2:22-28
The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ -
he is the liar,
he is Antichrist;
and he is denying the Father as well as the Son,

1 John 1:1-4

that we have watched
and touched with our hands:
the Word, who is life -
this is our subject.
That life was made visible:
we saw it and we are giving our testimony,
telling you of the eternal life
which was with the [...]

The Interview With Jesus
Jesus had invited me to spend an hour with him. I was a bit uptight about it, so for days I prepared by boning upon my seminary courses in Christology and I reread the documents of Vatican II. I glanced over my notes on Lonergan’s Method in Theology, [...]

Isaiah 2:1-5
The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
In the days to come
the mountain of the Temple of the Lord
shall tower above the mountains
and be lifted higher than the hills.
All nations will stream to it,
peoples without number will come it it; and they will say:
“Come, let us go up [...]
