Padre Pio

Today is the day I have to give confessions, but first I'm going to get some breakfast and then I'll pray for a while, then I'll get in the confessional.... Okay I'm in front of the cross. I'm just going to pray for a bit then go give confessions... What the... What's happening? My hands... They're bleeding.  Oww my side is bleeding too. It's a lot of pain. Why is this happening?! The pain it's... It's... It's just like the pain Christ went through. But why me out of all people would he choose me? Am I special? Have I been given a blessing to be like Christ? But either way, it hurts, but I will accept it as a blessing from God. Or will I...

My mother and father

My mother and father for me are very important.
When I was a child, they took good care of me.
I love them.
I have been in the USA for 3 years.
I miss them.
Family is very important in my life.

St. Phillip Neri

Saint Phillip Neri... Fire of Joy... Reading his life is my delight... Man what a life he lived in humility and full of miracles...I think to myself I am incapable of such wonders...Incapable of sustaining this pious and intimate relationship with God... Hell I can't even bear with the rules and lifestyle of the seminary...Yet St. Phillip's life encourages me to strive for an intimate relationship with God...But although I am weak and unworthy, I contemplate...Yet he was a person just like me... By means of this I relate to him on a personal level...Still I am not worthy of fulfilling this lifestyle...Yet Christ has risen and anything is possible with God, so..

SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI

I am annoyed ...... Why do all the poor people have nothing?....I feel really bad...Should I help them? I... I probably should... I'll sell all my goods and riches, give all my money to the poor, and live with them...Ok I did it... I feel extremely better... I'm not tied down to anything... I feel that my only responsibility is God..... Ok, well life is good... If I'm gonna live it, I want to make it worth my time to praise God for all He has done for me, such as...

Father Damien

I'm on the island of Oahu serving at several parishes and I look at my parishioners ... They have diseases! They have leprosy! And now they have been sent by the Hawaiian King Kamehamena IV to Kalaupapa. That's really messed up ... They are still people and have souls ... Oh, are they happy with their disease? Can they accept this leprosy? I want to go and see them but I might catch leprosy ... Should I go? ... Should I? ...

My Father - A National Champion

Two minutes left... Up by one... In overtime... The opponent has the ball. I have to stay focused... No goals...  No attacker will get past me... I am nervous but I am a lion... Nobody passes me... This is my time. I worked hard for this... Nobody will take this away from me. I see the striker getting ready to take a shot... I see him look up towards the goal... He pulls his leg back to shoot... I throw my entire body in front of the play... I won the battle... I saved the day... We are champions.

ST. PETER

Well I mean...I don't remember much of him...Well besides the fact that I chose him for my Confirmation name...I mean St. Peter...Rock of the church...Holds the keys to heaven...The first pope...Yet he denied Jesus three times...But he at the end of his life...Wasn't willing to die like Jesus...So he was crucified upside down...I'm amazed by him...I could never see myself doing that...Well at least right now...Surprised by his ability to leave everything..Simply to follow Jesus...Someone he hardly knew....
