Without God, everything we do would just be vanity
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 9, 2025 - 12:00am

“Lord, show us the way…”
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 3, 2025 - 12:00am
THIS should be the request that we should constantly make as we pursue the real goal of our life, which is our own sanctification and our duty to do apostolate.
Pivoting from the customary to the heroic
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 2, 2025 - 12:00am
This is how our spiritual life should be, how our relation with God and with everybody else should be. It will always involve the dynamic of pivoting from where we are at the moment to another and higher level of...

All laws should lead us to Christ
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 26, 2025 - 12:00am

The call for sobriety
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 24, 2025 - 12:00am
A good number of times, the Bible reminds us of the need of this virtue of sobriety. The following passages are a few of the examples:
We need to live the Christian spirit of poverty
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 20, 2025 - 12:00am
That parable about the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus, (cfr. Lk 16,19-31) clearly reminds us that we need to live the Christian spirit of poverty which, if understood properly, is not about what you have or what...
Charity should inspire our pursuit for knowledge
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 19, 2025 - 12:00am
Indeed! Otherwise, our pursuit for knowledge not motivated by and oriented toward love for God and others would only be a pure exercise of self-indulgence, prone to many other anomalies like pride, vanity, lust,...
“Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful”
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 17, 2025 - 12:00am
Christ said it very clearly! We need to be merciful and forgiving of everyone since that trait or attitude would liken as to God our Father who wants us precisely to be like him. (cfr. Lk 6,37)
God is our constant and ultimate recourse
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 13, 2025 - 12:00am
Let's never forget that God is always with us, eager to help us in all our needs.
Truth and freedom flow from faith
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 12, 2025 - 12:00am
WE need to be clear about the relation among truth, freedom and faith.
The danger of comparing ourselves with others
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 7, 2025 - 12:00am
THIS danger is illustrated in that gospel episode where “the disciples of John approached Jesus and said, ‘Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do not fast?” (Mt 9,14)

by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 6, 2025 - 12:00am
As we are in this Jubilee Year of Hope, we need to be clarified about the true character of this particular gift from God which we have to duly receive and act on, making it an abiding virtue in us. Given our...
Total self-giving without being showy
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 5, 2025 - 12:00am
THAT is the message of the gospel reading for Ash Wednesday.
Mary helps us to be docile to the Holy Spirit
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 3, 2025 - 12:00am
LET’S use some legal jargon to bring out the truth of our faith about how Our Lady can help us to be docile to the Holy Spirit.
To be all things to all men
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 1, 2025 - 12:00am
THAT’S from a passage in 1 Corinthians 9,22. It’s the ideal condition for us to pursue. It’s what would truly identify us with Christ, the pattern of our humanity and the savior of our damaged humanity,...
A good winner and a good loser
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - February 28, 2025 - 12:00am
Since life is like a game, where we play hard to achieve something, we should not be surprised that there will be times when we win and succeed, and times when we lose. We should not be surprised and be unduly affected...
Prayer is basic in our life of piety
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - February 26, 2025 - 12:00am
IT’S, of course, a given. Prayer is basic in our life of piety because that is our personal effort to get in touch with God.
“Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you”
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - February 24, 2025 - 12:00am
