St. Ignatius rocks!

St Ignatius as paraphrased by David I. Fleming

Priniciple and Foundation, Spiritual Exercises

The goal of your life is to live with me forever. I gave you life because I love you. Your response of love allows my life to flow into you without limit.

All things in this world are my gifts presented to you so that you can know me more easily your love to me more readily.

I want you to appreciate and use all my gifts insofar as they help you develop as a loving person. But if any of my gifts become te center of your life, they displace me and so hinder your growth toward your goal.

In everyday life, then, you must hold yourself in balance before all my created gifts insofar as you have a choice and are not bound by some obligation. You should not fix your desires on health pr sickness, wealth or poverty, sucess or failure, along life or a short one. For everything has the potential of calling forth in you a deeper response of your life in me.

Your only desire and one choice should be this: to want and to choose what better leads my deepening my life in you.

Ang ganda. :) It puts everything in perspective. And the amazing thing is that loving God is what we were designed to do best such thay when we do decide to spend our lives doing only this, we find our raison d'etre. :) God knows the deepest desires of our hearts and we become truly happy when we follow His will. Walang conflict of interest, astig. God's the best! :)

Self-Rating

Parang ang stoops (from pau's dictionary) ng previous posts ko. Pero ayoko namang burahin kasi they still are bits and pieces of me. You can't take out anything out of your life once it has happened no matter how much you may regret it right? You can only try to make the best out the life you have now. Same with my blog. Sana mas interesting na future posts ko. :)

Anyhow, I read the papers today, both PDI and Star (yes, proud).

- Vatican says limbo does not exist so babies who die before they are baptized go straight to heaven. Yey. Well sana lang ano, ang cute nila tas di sila gagawing cherubs ni God. Aww, ang cute ng babies, lalo na yung may mga fat, sagging (is there such a word?) cheeks. *pinch, pinch, (gentle pinches lang), hug, smell. :)

- College Valedictorian of UP is a 16-year old girl. BS Physics pa. And the nice thing is I don't think her social and emotional development were compromised because of her super acceleration. Before I read this article, I was not really in favor of super acceleration programs because I didn't think kids could adjust to their older peers. But this girl proved me wrong. I got the impression that her parents and teachers really took care of her so she won't feel out of place in a college setting. Galing. And I learned that advanced programs are really needed by genius kids so that their fast learning skills are matched.

- nakalimutan ko na yung iba. haha.


From now on, I vow to always keep my learning radar on the look out. This will be hard work but I think that this is necessary, especially since half of my brain turned to mush during my Pisay years.


Hasta la vista.
