PROYOUTH 1

The devil this summer, in the words of St. Peter is “prowling like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour!” That is why we need “to resist him and be solid in our faith!” How? Don Bosco gave us the sacraments of confession and communion. Guys… summer vacation does not mean that we have also to take vacation in fulfilling our christian duties. How is you Sunday mass? Regular ka pa ba? Baka naman mas regular ka pa sa malls? hehehe… (bato-bato sa langit tamaan wag magalit!) How about your confession? It’s the best way to be energized in our quest for holiness. Lahat naman tayo nagkakamali at nakakagawa ng kasalanan. The Goodnews is that God never grows tired and weary in forgiving us. Magkumpisal ka pa rin kahit summer ha? Wag mong ipunin ang kasalanan mo… baka matabunan ka nyan! hehehe… God bless!

“Summer is the workshop of the devil!” This is one of the many “little wisdom” I learned when I was still in high school. Our Salesian Priests and Brothers at that time, acting as our teachers, assistants, spiritual guides, friends rolled into one, were never remissed in reminding us to keep ourselves busy during summer because for sure the Devil will work “overtime” just to win souls in his side.

Anung pinagkakaabalahan mo ngayong summer? Meron na ba? Baka naman KaTuGa ka lang? (Kain, Tulog, Gala… hehehe) Sigurado ako… naka-iskor na ang demonyo sa ‘yo! Haaay naku! Kelan pa kaya tayo matututo… ? Take it from me guys… Dami ko ng summer na pinagdaanan at dami na ring nasayang! Wag mong sayangin ang oras mo. Dami kang puwedeng gawin: work on your favorite hobbies, siguro you want to learn some skills and talents (music, arts and sports), helping in the house chores, involving yourself in your parish youth activities… or you can even spent some time in front of the computer (wag naman buong araw ha?) posting reflections on your friendster blog! hehehe…

Basta, keep yourself busy… Dont give the devil a chance to catch you offguard doing nothing! Ok ba yon? Haaay naku… sana me nakuha kang kaunti sa mga sinabi ko! God bless!

First time ko kaya pasencya na lang kung anu-anong walang kwenta ang sasabihin ko dito… hehehe…

Hay… naku!  Ang hirap maging Salesiano!  Mahirap pero masaya… gets mo yun?  Mahirap… kasi wala ka namang nakukuhang "pera" sa ginagawa mo! hehehe…  Me konting konsolasyon… pero konti lang ha? Masaya… kasi alam mo na hindi para sa yo ang ginagawa mo kundi para sa iba. Masaya… kasi alam ko na para sa Kanya ang lahat ng pinaghihirapan ko. Masaya… kasi mga kabataan ang kasama ko kaya laging feeling young ako! hehehe… 

How I wish na ang ilang mga kabataang makakabasa nito e mainspire naman kahit konti lang… kumokonti na kasi ang lahi naming mga pari … kelangan na ng mga kabataang kapalit.

O sige… next time na lang ang ibang ‘reflections’ ko… trial pa lang naman ito eh! kitakits next time.
