Been Seduced and Tempted!

Let me tell you about a friend.

He has been blessed with so much abundance.

Talents, character, intelligence and good looks.

He’s got all it takes, it seems.

He’s your “super man” come alive.

Oh, a few more of his blessing: Abundant women. You see, women adore him. They think of him every second. Their walls are filled with his pictures. They seem to lose consciousness when they see him. Their feet don’t touch the ground after chatting with him.

But along with all these, he has remained single for the Lord. Yes, you read it right, Celibate! Can you believe that?!

He has been seduced and tempted into many a relationship, but each time, he has turned them down graciously.

Now you might ask, “Why in heaven is he doing this?”

I forgot to mention another blessing he has.

Deep faith.

No wonder.



Oh Savior Jesus, we have many illusions and deceptions in this world. Free us from all our anxieties that block us from being totally Yours.

My Will For You...

There was a young man who so much wanted to be a priest. However, after sincere prayer and repentance, his yearning vanished. It was clear to him that it was not the will of God for him to be a priest.

But it was not that easy for him to accept this. He asked the Lord, "Isn't it a great sacrifice to offer my whole life to You by becoming a priest?" Yet to his surprise, the Lord spoke to his heart: "Would it not be a greater sacrifice if you obey My will for you?" This man is now living a happy life with his family, though not yet married and no children, his parents and siblings make his life more happy. Serving the Lord in his very own little ways.

He rejoices and does not regret following the Lord. He saw how the Lord uses him now in spreading the Good News. In fact, he is very happy writing this blog for you.... yes, it's me.

Even if we don't understand at first. let us obey.



Lord, I seek for all the gifts of the Spirit - as well as all that I needed to serve You. But most of all, give me a greater love for you!
