Pearl of Great Price: March 2015

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Mar 28, 2015. Wounds that Truly Hurt (Passion Sunday B). But often, we readily take notice of the external wounds oblivious of the greater pain that cuts deep inside. Once I facilitated a Lenten retreat among lay leaders and Eucharistic ministers. To help them begin with a proper disposition, I let them watch Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ. The wound inflicted by a kiss. The wound inflicted by words of denial. 8221; Ho...

Pearl of Great Price: January 2015

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Jan 31, 2015. 4th Sunday Ordinary B). Perhaps, one of the most moving encounters of the Filipino people with Pope Francis in his recent visit to the Philippines was when the Pope invited all to a moment of silence—silence in the midst of the unspeakable remembrance of the agony, pain, loss, and other forms of suffering that had befallen the people of Tacloban. Few people have discovered the eloquence of silence. Most p...

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Apr 18, 2015. Recognizing the Risen Lord (3rd Sunday Easter B). Master: When do you know that it is the end of the night and the beginning of the day? Disciple: When I can see the trees and distinguish one kind from the others. Disciple: When I can see the animals and distinguish a goat from a sheep. Master: It is when you can recognize in every person you meet a brother or a sister. The breaking of the bread is obviously ...

Pearl of Great Price: Magnanimous Heart (Passion Sunday A)

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2014/04/magnanimous-heart-passion-sunday-a.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Apr 12, 2014. Magnanimous Heart (Passion Sunday A). No one in his right mind wishes to suffer. But in this broken and sinful world, suffering is an inevitable lot. Mother Teresa taught us to embrace it anyhow with joy believing that we are suffering with Jesus. Hence, we share in Jesus’ suffering which is redemptive. This was perhaps the darkest hour in all of Jesus’ life. But still Jesus surrendered everything t...From ch...

Pearl of Great Price: Quest for Eternal Life (20th Sunday Ordinary B)

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2009/08/forever-living-forever-loving-20th.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Aug 15, 2015. Quest for Eternal Life (20th Sunday Ordinary B). Was it in the mid-90s that we heard of the health product “Forever Living? 8221; It is a variety of food supplements that promise better health and, therefore, longer life. The name even bears the audacious suggestion of immortality! Good news for the “baby boomers” who wish to feel and look a generation younger. I think, for all of us who consciously or uncons...

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Jun 27, 2015. Do not be Afraid. Have faith. (13th Sunday Ordinary B). In the movie, First Knight. Aren’t we all afraid of death? Without faith in God, the origin and destiny of life, we are left with fear. We fear our own death and, more so, that of our loved ones. Without faith, we fear that life itself is pointless. Only with the eyes of faith that we can grasp the ultimate beauty of life—that life is not just pure...

Pearl of Great Price: February 2015

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Feb 28, 2015. The Test of Love (2nd Sunday Lent B). Sacrifice is the test of love. It is only when we have the capacity not to withhold for ourselves our most precious possession for the sake of another, only when we can give up even that which is most important to us for the good of the beloved, only then that we truly love. Abraham’s devotion to God was tested. God could not allow Abraham to harm Isaac, much less to sacr...

Pearl of Great Price: Through the Eyes of Mary (Easter Sunday ABC)

http://prizedpearl.blogspot.com/2014/04/through-eyes-of-mary-easter-sunday-abc.html

Pearl of Great Price. Sunday Homilies and Reflections for Seekers of Gods Kingdom. Mar 26, 2016. Through the Eyes of Mary (Easter Sunday ABC). One beautiful expression of popular piety on Easter Sunday is the holding of the Encuentro. This joyous encounter is not mentioned in the Gospels. But for St. Ignatius of Loyola the meeting between Mary and the Risen Lord is considered to be common sense. In his book, The Spiritual Exercises,. Easter joy through the eyes of Mary. Ps 118). Alleluia! We are invited ...
