What is conscience?"Conscience is a judgment of reason whereby the human person recognizes the moral quality of a concrete act that he is going to perform, is in the process of performing, or has already completed. In all he says and does, man is obliged to follow faithfully what he knows to be just and right. It is by the judgment of his conscience that man perceives and recognizes the

I tend to worry a lot these days, I worry about the past and I worry about the future. My friends seem to notice a change in me, they say I have lost my "celestine-ness", "glow", "bubblyness", etc. I kinda noticed that too, perhaps I look distracted when I talk to them - lost in my own thoughts. It's pretty silly to be worrying about things that might bother me in the future. (Haha!) But that's

There is more to the offertory at Mass than just giving alms or donations. It is also a time where we are given the opportunity to give worth to God, to show God (in practical terms) how much He means to you, in short, it is an act of worship. However it is not how much we give that matters, rather it is how much we are willing to give. The following passage illustrates this exactly...Jesus sat

Yes that's my handphone (Sony Ericsson K300i) . I know it looks like it has been to war and back... Besides the fact that it shows severe signs of wear and tear, the joystick is also acting a little wonky (I have trouble navigating to the right side of the menu). Sadly the phone's warranty has expired and I am stuck with it 'till God knows when (literally).So I implore you loyal readers to help

No I didn't manage to get a free book from Kinokuniya but I WAS THERE in the wee hours of the 21st of July. I can now safely conclude that running up 6 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor is dangerous (especially if you have crazy kids behind, infront and around you stampeding). The sight of people falling over on to the floor makes you think twice if being the lucky 13 is really worth the trouble

Today I was introduced by my spiritual director to the 30-minute prayer, which I was told is a good starting point for one to cultivate a consistent prayer life...The 30-minute Prayer, a Step-by-step GuideBegin by asking God for the grace. (E.g. "God give me the strength to pray")[10 minutes] Examine your current concerns / events that have already happened / events that happened the day before.

Ironically this friendship which helped preserve Hendra's soul throughout his rather messy 40 years of life, was initiated by an act of sin - Hendra's affair with a married woman when he was 14.Comments: I like every bit of this book except
