Pax tecum! Great work of faith! Medyo naging busy lang these recent weeks. Na-ospital si tatay but he is well now and also in the process of transition for he is about to retire from his work. I think his last day in the company will be on the 10th of January next year. Please include him and my mother also in your prayers one early morning for their peace of mind and heart and for their healing also.

Kitakits na lang…

Frat,i was moved by the song you included in you post. I was really crying while reading your vocation story with song accompaniment. Shameful to say but that is true. I felt the same way when I was a kid but I ignored it coz I thought it was just a wrong signal. I enjoyed working in altar too and during my high school days I was active member of Children of Mary. Keep inspiring people. God bless you frat! I am blessed to have people like you… [...]

At last I read your vocation story..At first,iam very hesitant to do so coz i tried opening it many times but the web was denying my request.I was moved by your journey story same with the song attached to it.keep on inspiring people and keep the good samaritan in you!We are praying for your perseverance to go thru whatever it takes.In behalf of pinoy christian community in Saudi Arabia,AS-SALAM ALAIKOM Frat Jhoen!

Pax et Bonum..

I am very happy about your VERRRYYYY Inspiring vocation story. Gosh! time is too fast..You, are going to be a deacon now, then later a FULLY ORDAINED PRIEST. I do miss a lot ang kulitan nyo ni Susan G. sa RCW. Anyway, time changes.

Presently, I Thank you for your prayers; for I am back at my feet, having frequent meetings and discernment again with my Spiritual Direcor and attending mass again for the past 1 year now. I even, was able to get myself a Bible, that I once throw away… Thanks for letting me know about your blog. WAY TO GO!

On your vocation story, i can simply say….Wow! God’s ways are truly mysterious.

And time flies so fast, by 2009, with the help of God, you will be ordained as a deacon, and as a priest.

And congratulations last November 23 pala, officially admitted as a Candidate for ordination ka na. Wow! Sige, ipagpatuloy mo yan. Ingat lagi

I quickly browsed your weblog earlier and I should say that I liked it. Very catchy heading. I hope to view more of it next time. Keep well. God bless!

hahahahahaaha!

Ho letto il vostro email e stavo ridendo di ultima parte. Risponderò domani alla vostra lettera. stasera studio tranquillo. Siete una creatura meravigliosa di Dio. Abbastanza dei sentimenti. Aspett giusto il mio email.

Ancora spiacente per l’italiano difettoso. Devo usare l’italiano perché la non desidero i miei lettori filipino conoscere che cosa “seminarians” stiamo parlando tranne naturalmente se sanno parlare uno.

Pace e tutto il buon il mio fratello.

bluepanjeet’s last blog post..My Ronito and Ronita

Hi Jhoen, I checked out your blog as a guest at bluepanjeet. Your story is awesome. I never knew that you made that journey. It was inspiring as you promised it would be. I wish you all the very best for you Diaconate Ordination. Do you remember that it was at this time when I was preparing for the diaconate that we first met in the Beda. [...]

Anyways all the very best to you for a wonderful year ahead and choicest of God’s blessings as you prepare to commit your self more definatively at the end of the academic year. [...] Ciao Amico

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I am truly humbled with your very kind words. Everything is grace! May God be praised!
