Today, the 8th anniversary of my perpetual promises of obedience, poverty, and chastity, I was able to visit Facendas da Esperança, (Farm of Hope) and celebrate Mass for the graduation of a young man celebrating one year of freedom from drug addiction and the beginning of a new life. What a beautiful gift of God!

Homily at Philippine Army division headquarters: "One the best things you can do as soldiers is conquer fear of death by being ready to meet your Maker. In the Eucharist you encounter Him whom you will meet at life's end whom you serve now veiled in the Sacrament. He leads you to not fear your enemies both seen and unseen, to not fear even death."

We live this earthly life as though passing through a desert: original sin has rendered it arid, bitter, trying, lonely, where we go poorly clad and malnourished. God's solution is to send us manna, the Bread of Life. Jesus Christ is our Eucharistic Oasis, who gives us refreshment amidst aridity, victory in temptation, clothed in virtue, fed grace upon grace in superabundance. Give your fears, temptations, sorrows, and loneliness to him and he will lead you to the promised land.

Cardinal Tagle to local clergy of Naga, Philippines: "Take care of yourselves and of your flock, for wolves may come from among you. A shepherd could do great damage to the flock when he himself is not first evangelized...the New Evangelization also means a new expression, method, and ardor of the priesthood. You must reach the people of our time but first go back to the sources of Scripture, Tradition, and the Fathers."

Bureaucracy and office work doesn't have to be so bad. It's gotta be done, you might as well be happy about it. I've spent six hours at SSS (Social Security in US) office and another 9 hours making backlogged reports. The staff are actually quite funny, the guards all know me by name. They even have priority for pregnant ladies, elderly, and a breastfeeding booth. In the back is an image of Divine Mercy with flowers. People are generally good natured and patient, considering sometimes one line takes 75 minutes. What could be a mangled machine is actually quite humanized. #EveryMomentWithGodExactlyWhereHeWantsMe #WhyStressAboutStress

I suppose it's important, in some way I guess. It probably feels really weighty and urgent, and if you don't attend to it you think you're missing something. Whatever it is, eternal salvation will always trump it. St Bridget of Sweden, indeed, every saint has a moment, a crossroads, where they see things in the light of true finality the true #YOLO moment. That's why she spent so much time on the quickest, surest, and most potent way to eternity- devout, single heated meditation on the Passion of Christ. Go ahead and try it. For 60 seconds turn away from all of it and gaze in faith on the Savior, bleeding for your salvation. I tell you, if you do this the remain seconds of your day will not be same. Do this for 15 minutes and your life will not be the same. That's the prayers she gave the Church could carry such weighty promises.

She doesn't care about Angels, not even afraid of them when they appear. Not afraid of men either, even willing to risk their scorn by saying they took Jesus' body and lied about it. She just wanted to see Jesus. She had been loved by him and delivered and restored by him. This love gave her more courage than the apostles to stand by Jesus when they fled. It gave her more patience than the rest to stay behind at his tomb. So Jesus rewarded her by appearing to her first after rising from the dead. She became the apostle to the apostles. Would that we had her love, courage, and patience in seeking Jesus Christ. St Mary Magdalene, pray for us!

Moralizing doesn't work. You cannot say: "don't do that evil thing it will hurt you and others." Why do most people block you out when you speak that way? The human heart wants love so bad that even when this love or that good is surrounded by so many self destructive things it willing to be hurt, even destroyed to experience some love and find some kind of fulfillment or good. What works? Only the witness of humble disinterested kindness, that is real and immediate. Only with sweetness is the heart wooed. It is in this context that Christ's Heart, after conquering ours with love that is irresistible, He shows what is good and evil and shepherds us away from false loves and deceptive hopes. #DontAccuseAndBruise #BeRealAndHeal

3 Popes Chillin? Add the other 263 and that is how I view Christ's living authority on earth through the Papal Magisterium: TOGETHER- in the context of each other and of the whole body of teaching they ever have or ever will impart in the name of Jesus Christ. The same is true for all the Ecumenical Councils - in context of each other. Anyone tries to remove them from that context they reveal their own ignorance and lose any intelligent or worthy opinion to be heeded, or I just think they are trying to manipulate themselves from being accountable to the Truth, to God who speaks through authenticated reps. Give it up for my peeps, I mean Popes!! #PapalSuccessionRocks #TuEsPetrus #PapalSelfie
