Ascension Presents: Why Christians Shouldn't Cancel People.

Condensed Reflection
By James Z. Carpio

Father Mike Schmitz suggests or rather explains that we should like to foster a "Correction Culture" than a "Cancellation Culture".

Two things:

1. Truth
2. Grace

If these two are absent then these two prevail:

1. Utility
2. Preference

Father Mike's explanation is superb.

The salient points that I would like to elaborate on is to rephrase them into "Hate the sin, yet still, love the sinner."

Thus, correcting our brother or sister. Teaching him or her which is a grace-truth-filled culture. Upholding the objective truth or standard. A restoration and reconciliation bringing him/her back home to Our Father's loving arms.

May you be inspired by the Holy Spirit and God Bless!

( Mister George Nasr, farthest left ) Currently, parts of the nation are still suffering the destruction brought about by the Super Typhoon Gaemi, and that is just during storm season. Even on ordinary days, in June of this year 2024, the Head of the Maronites On Mission from Australia, Mister George Nasr, conducted a special charity endeavour. Tell me something more about this mission. How is it different from the regular charity work of the Maronites? Mr. Nasr, “The regular work I do with Maronites On Mission (MOM) usually targets and helps the masses. Larger groups of people whom benefit from large scale humanitarian aid. This mission was different, very specific, targeted to help individual needs of people.” When did you arrive in Naga and when was the mission accomplished? Mr. Nasr, “ I’ve been in the Philippines since June 17 through to June the 29th.” You mentioned that you and your three-member-team booked accommodations at a local hotel, this showed your dedication to help the...

Katekismo Corner: On Sponsors of Baptism: No. 33

  On Sponsors of Baptism We are always delighted when our Ninong or Ninang gives us a gift during Christmas. And so often, parents would choose Sponsors who are well-to-do and are known to be generous. They, the Ninong and Ninang, usually volunteer to “sponsor” or take care of the fees, give gifts, and even shoulder the expenses for the celebration. Sometimes too, parents would choose Sponsors as a reward for friendship. But more than that, the spiritual bond created should be given a priority. This is why, the Code of Canon Law devotes a whole chapter on the Sponsors of Baptism that specifies the qualifications, duties and obligations of a Sponsor, to guide the Parents, with the help of the Pastor, in choosing a Sponsor. It is good to review them here. The primary function of a Sponsor is to stand witness to the conferral of the Sacrament of Baptism. This finds special importance since Baptism is conferred only once and if records are lost, the testimony under oath by the sponso...
