Well what do you know? This used to be a fancy dream of a casual group of BCBP Makati, and now Taguig golfers.  We were then imagining like “what if we form our own golf club just for the pure fun of game.”  So when we started this thing, none of us, indeed, knew if it will last longer than 2012. But before you knew it, December 28, 2018 came, which was 10 years after that fateful post-Christmas game at Villamor Golf.  Time flies real fast, just like a player rushing to look for a lost ball.   For more of the CIGA origins, just click this link:  http://www.bcbpkapatiran.com/the-reluctant-golfer/   

My memories of Easter Sundays are many. In the states as I was growing up, we attended the special Easter church service with all of us children receiving a small pot of spring flowers signifying new life, that we were to nourish and grow into fully blooming bushes.

We observe Palm Sunday, the final Sunday of Lent, today. Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphant arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1–9), when palm branches were placed in his path, before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his crucifixion on Good Friday. It thus marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent.

March is a month wherein we celebrate womanhood. As women, especially Christian women, we are given a unique ministry, the ministry of being a woman, a woman after God’s own heart. What does this mean?

“Worry is a future-tense emotion.” “Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES; it takes away today’s PEACE.” While reading over some of my myriad notes, I came across these intriguingly profound statements. Who said them? I don’t remember.

Many people understand the Lenten period, also called the desert experience, as one of sacrifices, difficulties, and ceremonies. But it is much more than that. Saint John Paul II in one of his writings lists seven ways we should view the Lenten experience.

The New Year brings us many gifts. But to fully enjoy these God-given gifts, Nancy Catan believes we need to clean up the clutter.

The hinges of the door of our hearts need to be oiled and protected from the rust of dryness, of self-pity, of negative emotions, and of stressful living.
