Community Life

Sem. Carl Joshua

One of the most exciting within the community aside from building up the brotherhood is when a joker of the community starts to throw, or show something which makes everyone laugh. We build our community with purpose through making each one of us happy, as possible. We make our lives with sense, with our fellow brothers, through allowing ourselves to be formed. We laugh together and makes that laugh a memorable experience that we can go back and refresh our minds. We eat together and making sure that everyone is full and satisfied. 

I realize that in our formation, I should not look solely in physical, emotional changes in my life but also in spiritual and on how God works in me as I live within the community.

 WE ONLY LIVE ONCE! Making our lives better is one of the greatest achievement in life. 

Be POSITIVE! Be LIVE! 

I Love Mama....I Love Mary

Sem. Carl Joshua

We all know that mother is one of the greatest gifts of God. A mother who always thinks about her child. A mother who takes care, and makes sure that her child is OK. A mother who always forgets herself for her needs, making sure that her child fulfills his wants. We commonly known a mother as the "Ilaw ng Tahanan".  

I see the happiness of a mother when she feels well, and most especially when she knows that her child shows a joyous attribute. Likewise, Mary, feels happiness when her child is in a good condition. Moreover, I thank my mother for everything. A mother who gives a marvelous care and love for us, siblings. 

 Love our mother. Pray for them as always.  

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

SACRIFICE: EASY or HARD!
Sem. Carl Joshua

In fact, it is very difficult to SACRIFICE. Sacrifice is not a simple thing but, it is a BIG DEAL. In reality, we cannot say that we do not experience sacrificing. In my case I mean it! that I experience different kinds of sacrifices. For instance: sacrificing the studies rather than playing outdoor games, washing clothes rather than sleeping, finishing the requirements rather than opening the entertainment site of MSN. Moreover, it does only limit to me, as I remember the sacrifices of my parents for us , siblings. I agree that they have a GREAT SACRIFICES for us, as they WORK HARDER for the sake of their children. 

SACRIFICE becomes EASY when it reach the HAPPINESS of being SUCCESSFUL.

SACRIFICE become HARDER when man always look on the difficult and bad sides, without HOPE.

If we SACRIFICE, although it is not easy nor simple, we may be able to RECEIVE REWARDS not even today, but in the FUTURE. 
I sacrifice not because I want, but because I have to, and  know that I will grow and learn in life. :)  

In fact, the reality is that Christ offers himself for us. He sacrifices his Life for us, and therefore, we must also sacrifice. :)
