The love of Jesus, My Kuya and Best Friend

A Reflection for Valentine’s Day: The Love of Jesus, My Kuya and Best Friend Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with flowers, chocolates, and sweet words, but at its core, it is about love—the greatest kind of love that we have ever received: the love of Jesus. He is my best friend, my Kuya, my everything. His love is constant, never failing, and always present, whether in joy or sorrow. He loves me not because of what I do but simply because I am His. Saint Valentine, whose name is remembered today, was a witness to this same love. He lived during a time when expressing Christian love and faith was dangerous, yet he remained faithful. He helped others experience God's love, performing marriages in secret and caring for the persecuted. His life reminds me that love is not just about grand gestures but about selfless giving, even in small ways. As I celebrate this day, I am deeply grateful for the people who have shown me love—family, RVM Sisters, friends, professors, a...

" Seorang gembala yang baik adalah dia yang tidak hanya memberi nasihat, tetapi juga hadir dengan senyum yang membawa penghiburan dan harapan." Saya terinspirasi untuk menulis sedikit tentang Mgr. Paulus Budi Kleden, SVD. Walaupun saya belum pernah bertemu beliau secara pribadi, saya selalu terinspirasi dengan tulisan-tulisannya. Refleksi-refleksinya begitu sederhana namun mendalam, penuh dengan kebijaksanaan yang menyentuh hati. Setiap kali saya membaca tulisannya atau mendengar cerita tentang kepribadiannya, saya merasa sangat antusias dan bahagia. Seolah ada sesuatu yang menggerakkan saya untuk lebih mengenal siapa beliau sebenarnya. Setelah membaca tulisannya atau mendengarkan khotbahnya melalui media sosial, selalu ada harapan dan kebahagiaan yang tersisa di hati saya. Suatu malam di Manila, setelah doa sore, saya masuk ke kamar dan mengambil handphone untuk melihat beberapa informasi dari teman-teman kelas. Pada saat yang bersamaan, saya melihat banyak teman-teman ...

The foreigner and the stranger

  The foreigner and the stranger   Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter An “A Chance Encounter” refers to an unexpected or unplanned meeting with someone. It often implies that the meeting was significant or memorable in some way. Such encounters can lead to interesting conversations, new friendships, or even life-changing events.   As a foreigner, I stepped onto Philippine soil on a balmy July 4, 2017. The air, thick with anticipation, whispered secrets of adventures yet to unfold. The sun, a golden witness, painted my arrival against a canvas of azure skies. I was an outsider, a wanderer, but the Philippines embraced me with open arms. Shortly after, on November 15 of the same year, I embarked on my first mission in Cebu City at a dormitory. Following that chapter, on May 14, 2018, I found myself transferred to Southern Mindanao, particularly to one of our Congregation’s schools in Davao City, where I have called home up to this year, 2024.   During my adve...
