by Fr. Roy Cimagala - September 4, 2024 - 12:00am
Why?
To know Christ is to know ourselves properly
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - September 2, 2024 - 12:00am
The earlier we realize this, the better for us. And that’s simply because Christ is the very pattern of our humanity. How he is should also be how we should be, not of course in terms of our physical appearance...
The lesson from the parable of the 10 virgins
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 30, 2024 - 12:00am
It’s clear that from this parable (cfr. Mt 25,1-13) we are reminded to be always vigilant in our life, having a clear vision of what the real and ultimate purpose of our life is and of how we can make every...
Straining a gnat while swallowing a camel
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 28, 2024 - 12:00am
This was how Christ described the self-righteous scribes and Pharisees of his time. (cfr. Mt 23,23-26) This was a lamentation of Christ that can still be applicable nowadays.
Love is a necessity
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 23, 2024 - 12:00am
We can come to that conclusion when we consider what Christ’s answer was when he was asked what the greatest commandment of God was.
Beware of our earthly attachments
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 19, 2024 - 12:00am
That parable of the rich young man (cfr. Mt 19,16-22) clearly warns us that we have to be wary of our strong tendency to get attached and entrapped in our worldly things to the extent that we would be willing to...
Marriage and divorce
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 16, 2024 - 12:00am

Patience and charity in fraternity
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 14, 2024 - 12:00am
We cannot deny that in our family and community life, we have to contend with the unavoidable differences and even conflicts that we can have with others.
Self-emptying to be properly filled up
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 9, 2024 - 12:00am
This is what Christ is proposing to us. It is quite intriguing, but to be sure it is what truly is proper to us.
Never doubt God’s compassion for us
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 7, 2024 - 12:00am
The story of the Canaanite woman who begged Christ to cure her daughter who was tormented by a demonic possession (cfr. Mt 15,21-28) should clearly remind us that no matter how God may appear at first to be deaf...
The need to deepen our faith and piety
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - August 2, 2024 - 12:00am
If we want to avoid falling into complacency and familiarity in our relation with God, we need to continually deepen our faith and piety.
In the world but not worldly
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 31, 2024 - 12:00am
In that gospel parable describing the Kingdom of Heaven as a treasure buried in a field and as a merchant searching for fine pearls for which the main characters would be willing to sell everything they had just...
Contemplative life in ordinary life
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 29, 2024 - 12:00am
What lesson can we learn from that rather amusing gospel episode of the two sisters, Martha and Mary, welcoming Christ to their home? (cfr. Lk 10,38-42) Martha was doing well in busying herself welcoming their special...
Let’s be the good ground for God’s word
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 26, 2024 - 12:00am
In that parable of the sower and the seed, (cfr. Mt 13,8-23) it’s made quite clear that we are encouraged to be the good ground for God’s word which actually represents his great love for us and our salvation....
Our Lady, proof we belong to God’s family
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 24, 2024 - 12:00am
That gospel episode where somebody in the crowd told Christ that her mother was around (cfr. Mt 12,46-50) can only tell us once again that as long as we follow the example of Mary, we too can be members of God’s...
Our need for continuing conversion
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 22, 2024 - 12:00am
The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene on July 22 reminds us that we all are in need of conversion.
The true freedom that comes from God’s love
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 19, 2024 - 12:00am
That gospel episode about some Pharisees who dared to tell Christ that his disciples did not observe the Sabbath law since they were plucking corn in a field during Sabbath (cfr. Mt 12,1-8) somehow reminds us that...
How to develop prudence or practical wisdom
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 17, 2024 - 12:00am

by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 12, 2024 - 12:00am

by Fr. Roy Cimagala - July 10, 2024 - 12:00am
When Christ chose 12 apostles to work closely with him in his mission of human redemption, (cfr. Mt 10,1-7) we are reminded that Christ actually wants all of us to continue with his work of human redemption, imparting...
