Is It the End Times but We Just Don’t Know It Yet?

Last updated on: October 13, 2023 at 1:48 pm By Jocelyn Soriano

I wrote this article right after I felt an earthquake during my morning reflection. I didn’t receive the usual emergency alert from my phone, but I was able to confirm the quake’s magnitude through social media. Perhaps nothing reminds us more about our frailty like an earthquake does. Within a few seconds, we feel as though everything we have ever built could suddenly collapse upon us. Money doesn’t matter anymore. Luxurious cars are of no use. An earthquake arrives like... Read more

What Is The Unforgivable Sin?

Last updated on: September 6, 2023 at 8:47 am By Jocelyn Soriano

What is the unforgivable sin? Is it murder? Is it adultery? Is it cursing? When I was ignorant of the Catechism, I was so afraid I might commit the unforgivable sin. Imagine having sinned and not even going to Confession could save your soul. Just how grievous is that sin that it could send you to hell? Thankfully, I have learned the true definition of this sin through the Catholic Church: “There are no limits to the mercy of God,... Read more

Why God Did Not Choose To Love Us From Afar

Many times, as we watch television or look at our computer screens, we watch suffering people from all walks of life. We see the homeless and the sick ones. We weep with those whose loved ones have died from war or natural calamities. In a way, we feel compassion for them. And we even help them by donating what we could whether some clothes we could spare or some money to buy food and other immediate needs. It doesn’t seem... Read more

Why Is October the Month of the Holy Rosary?

Last updated on: October 3, 2023 at 1:18 pm By Jocelyn Soriano

0 Comments

As a Catholic, I grew up knowing and accepting the fact that October is the month of the Holy Rosary. But it was only recently that I learned the history behind the celebration. First of all, this is connected to the Liturgical Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary which is celebrated every October 7. This feast was instituted by Pope Pius V to celebrate the miraculous victory of Christian naval forces against the Islamic Ottoman fleet in the Battle... Read more

Why Did St. Teresa of Avila Stop Praying?

Last updated on: October 2, 2023 at 1:21 pm By Jocelyn Soriano

Did you know that St. Teresa of Avila stopped praying for 15 years? And this happened right after a time of deep contemplation and prayer. It is said that when St. Teresa had a serious illness, it was nothing short of a miracle that she managed to live. At that time also, she exhibited great faith and patience in bearing her sufferings, all through the grace of God. After she recovered, however, that’s when the temptations began. Although blessed with... Read more

Where Is God in Disaster Movies?

Last updated on: November 8, 2023 at 8:56 am By Jocelyn Soriano

When was the last time you heard God’s name in a disaster movie? Have you ever watched a scene where a person sincerely prayed to God? Most of the time, the “religious” person depicted in a disaster movie is one who seems to be out of one’s mind, someone preaching about the end times and scaring people to repent. There seems to be a stereotype to such characters that make it appear as though calling on God is illogical or... Read more

Is Catholicism Too Complicated?

Last updated on: September 23, 2023 at 9:32 am By Jocelyn Soriano

0 Comments

One of the most common arguments against Catholicism is that it’s just too complicated. There are so many rules to follow, so many rituals to observe, and so much detail in the explanation of its dogmas. Can’t we just love Jesus and accept Him as our Lord and Savior? Can’t we just believe in God? Why do we have to make religion too much of a burden? Preaching a Difficult Gospel As a Catholic who still needs to grow in... Read more

While you may be on your way to encountering “real people” face to face, you may have felt like you’re still missing out on something. After all, you can’t post on Facebook or Instagram, you can’t read how many people have “liked” your previous video, and you’d be left unaware of what today’s trending topics could be.
