Open to all
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 22, 2024 - 12:00am
“All the people were hanging on his words.” (Lk 19,48) Because of that, those leading Jews who wanted to put Christ to death could not carry out their plan. Let’s hope that we too can get so close...
Emotivism
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 20, 2024 - 12:00am

Keeping a purposive life
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 18, 2024 - 12:00am

Strengthening our sense of purpose in life
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 15, 2024 - 12:00am
In the gospel of St. Luke (17,26-37), we hear Christ lamenting over how people in the long history of humanity were entangled in their earthly affairs while practically ignoring the real purpose of life.
We need to be grateful always
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 13, 2024 - 12:00am
This is the lesson we can learn from that gospel episode where Christ cured 10 lepers but only one of them came back to Christ to thank him. (cfr. Lk 17,11-19) We should never forget to thank God, first of all, and...
Beware of secularism
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 12, 2024 - 12:00am
The problem of secularism is that it promotes a social order that is neither connected to religion nor critical of it.
The duty to give good example
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 11, 2024 - 12:00am
Once again, we are reminded of our duty to always give good example to others in that gospel reading of Monday of the 32nd week in Ordinary Time.
Be both simple and shrewd
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 8, 2024 - 12:00am
This is the challenge we have to face in this life.
Passionate to join the heavenly banquet
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 6, 2024 - 12:00am
This is the ideal condition for us. Our greatest and strongest passion should be to live our definitive eternal state of life with God in heaven, where we actually come from and where we should be at the end. It’s...
Total self-giving without expecting any return
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - November 4, 2024 - 12:00am
It’s the call Christ addresses to us when he told his disciples: “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relative or your wealthy neighbors,...
Proper relation between parents and children
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 30, 2024 - 12:00am
In his Letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul describes what the proper Christian relation is between parents and children, between masters and servants.
Even Christ had to pray
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 28, 2024 - 12:00am
It’s worthwhile noting that even Christ had to spend the night praying before he made that big decision of choosing his 12 apostles among the many disciples that he had at that time. This could only mean that...
Our temporal affairs should serve our ultimate goal
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 23, 2024 - 12:00am
That’s the lesson we can draw from that gospel parable about the faithful and prudent steward.
Going beyond the material and temporal
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 21, 2024 - 12:00am
We have to be most careful with our tendency to be too attached to the material and temporal dimensions of our life such that we may consider them to be our end-all and be-all. We have to learn to go beyond them,...
Life in the flesh vs. life in the Spirit
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 16, 2024 - 12:00am
In his Letter to the Galatians, St. Paul makes this distinction between life in the flesh and life in the Spirit, something that is very important to know if we want to abide by our true dignity as children of God,...
The challenge of developing a vibrant faith
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 14, 2024 - 12:00am
In spite of the many signs and proofs that point to the credibility and necessity of faith, many people of Christ’s time still asked for signs to prove Christ was the expected Messiah.
Training our body for eternal life
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 11, 2024 - 12:00am
As what our Christian faith teaches us, our body is also meant for eternal life.
Prayer is indispensable in our life
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 9, 2024 - 12:00am
That earnest request of Christ’s disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray,” (Lk 11,1) should also be always ours.
Charity amid our growing differences and conflicts
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - October 7, 2024 - 12:00am
Considering the rapidly-growing differences and conflicts among ourselves not only in terms of age and generation, but also and especially in terms of opinions, lifestyle, culture, and even beliefs, etc., we have...
