How To Accept What You Can’t Change In No Easy Steps

Last updated on: May 6, 2019 at 3:09 pm By Monique Ocampo

I’ve talked about The Serenity Prayer on this blog before (as well as the film Serenity). I even liked reading The Way of Serenity by Fr. Jonathan Morris. I feel particularly drawn to the Serenity Prayer lately because I’m having problems adjusting to change again. Or rather, the aftermath of the changes that came into my life. I’ve embraced the idea of trying new things, but sometimes, the new things are only there for a little while. It’s kind of like going... Read more

The Japanese Legacy of St. Maximilian Kolbe

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 10:41 am By Monique Ocampo

Most people recognize St. Maximilian Kolbe as the priest who offered his life in the Auschwitz death camp to save a man who had a family. However, Maximilian Kolbe also left behind a legacy in Japan that would later make a huge difference during the end of WWII. During the 1930s, Maximilian Kolbe went on a mission trip to Nagasaki, Japan. Even though he didn’t know any Japanese, he was able to create a Japanese version of his magazine Knight of... Read more

Encountering Jesus: A Book Review

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 10:44 am By Monique Ocampo

When Elizabeth Scalia shared Encountering Jesus (the latest read from the Patheos Book Club) with me, I was definitely interested in reading it. The book (compiled by James Stuart Bell) is a collection of people seeing Jesus or witnessing a miracle in their lives that they attribute to Jesus’s intercession. I’ll admit that I like this book, but I don’t love it. I completely understand the idea of encountering Jesus through prayer or through a miracle that they can’t explain, but the... Read more

Nice Guy Syndrome, The Friendzone, and Entitlement Mentality

Last updated on: August 12, 2015 at 11:00 am By Monique Ocampo

Whenever I scroll through my dashboard on Tumblr, one thing that keeps popping up is this thing called “Nice Guy Syndrome.” “Nice Guy Syndrome” is (according to the Tumblr hive mind) when your average guy complains about his lack of relationships even though he acts nice to women. Most guys with “nice guy syndrome” complain about being stuck in the friendzone. A good example of “Nice Guy Syndrome” or being stuck in the friendzone can be seen in “Prophecy... Read more
