My friend

In life, there are moments when you miss someone so much that you would only fulfill your dreams by holding that person tight in your arms.

When a door of happiness is closed, another opens, but us, we continue to look at the closed door and we do not attach importance to that which we just opened.


Do not trust appearances: they are often false. Do not interest yourself in wealth; it will disappear.

Seek somebody who communicates with you in laughter, because one laughter could turn a sad day into a joyful one.

Dream whatever you desire to dream. Go wherever you wish. Seek whatever you desire. Because life is unique by how you shape it.

The lucky ones inevitably do not have the best of the best.

They seek simply the best of what they see on their journey.

The most beautiful future will always depend on the need for forgetting the past. You have to overcome its errors and all that hurt you if you want to get out of it.

Live the life in full, and always smile in spite of difficult times.

Sent this message to those who count on you.

As I did.

To those who mark your life.

To those who made you laugh when you really needed somebody.

To those who show you encouragement when you are down.

To your friends.

To those who passed by you.

To those who look up to you for encouragement.

To those who need you at their side.

Never loose the opportunity to give sunshine to the day of a person who needs a few encouraging words.

Life is a matter of perspective, either you complain because roses have torns or you rejoice because torns have roses. It all depends on how you look at it.

Life is beautifull my friend........... live.

Dear Friend

In my solitude my friend, I keep on thinking the story you told me when I was young, about the birds who live on top of the tree. It keeps on coming back specially those words you said, " like me, I am free. " Do you mean freedom is a choice? That I have to make a choice in order to be free.? Do you want me to discover and understand the true nature of the word....freedom?


For centuries men have pursued unrelentlessly their quest for freedom and we have also seen and witness the vague interpretation of its meaning that has cause death to millions and strife that torn nations apart. It seems that modern men has mis-interpreted freedom as doing away with all forms of bonds and authority and acknowledges neither God nor master. It is becoming a popular tought that respecting the freedom of others is a basic ethical principle. Is it more theoretical than real my friend and an endemic self-centeredness taking root in our hearts.


You said once my friend, that love cannot exist without freedom. And love that is forced or which rises from self-interest does not deserve the name. That true love and therefore blessed love can only exist between two people who freely surrender themselves to each other. Is these what you want us to learn when you instituted matrimony and made it a Sacrament?


Is freedom not only the ability to choose but also to accept what we have not chosen? Is this the meaning of your word..." the truth will set you free? " Is accepting what is painful and disagreeable.....accepting that which we have not chosen and do not like....the meaning of resignation? Is this what you mean when you said, " in all things God works for good to those who love Him?"




Sis. Faustina Kowalska once said, love is a mystery that transform everything it touches into something beautiful and pleasing to God. They say, love of God frees the soul. It is like a queen that never knew the oppresion of slavery.




Our hearts are prisoners of our pride and fears it must change and learn to love. It is also said that he who does not know how to love will always feel deprived and the anguish will imprison his heart. Can a person love without faith and hope? Is it possible?


My friend, my life may not be as ideal as others but my faith and hope in you is my only shelter in this scourging heat of fear and despair. It is the only thing I got and I know you love me for it. Teach me my friend about internal freedom the one you have so that I can become the person you meant me to be. I choose to be free like you. Help me my friend to be free...like those birds that fly in the air.















Dear friend, in silence in the presence of the mystery which is You allows me to recall a story you told me when I was young. It is about the story of the birds that lives on top of a tree. I didn't understand it then 'till now.


The younger bird is asking his mom why can't he fly like her older brother.


MOM: I cannot see any reason why you cannot fly son. You are a bird. I am a bird. You are my son. And birds fly.


YOUNG BIRD: It hurts when I try to fly. Further, I am afraid to fall.


MOM: Let me see. You have beautiful wings. Strong chest. And oh, I can see now why you cannot fly son. You tied one of your feet to the tree. No wonder it hurts when you try to fly. Untie it, and I am sure son, as sure as the Sun rises every morning you will fly. You will see places you have never seen before. You can fly against the wind and prevail because you are a bird. Birds fly son. Untie them.


You told me that I must strip myself of attachment that separates us. That attachments hinders my spiritual growth. That I will be imprisoned by them and hurt my soul. That I must untie all these attachment and free myself of it if I want to be free like the birds on the tree top. I must control and conquer all desires that do lead me away from You.That I must realize my unbelievably good fortune because You have invited me not merely to be a friend but to be Your other self. That I cannot have both unless I put off myself.... strip me of me and be You, You said.



You are saying.....be indifferent to your worldy goods, yet use it wisely. Do not wish too eagerly to acquire more than you have. Do not let you heart be captured by affection for the goods you possess. Care for your possessions reasonably, knowing all things are Mine and that you are My steward. In a serene and peaceable spirit, seek not only to preserve but even to increase your possessions so long as you may do so justly and in keeping with your state of life. Beware however of the love of things, which is really self love.





Learn to love my will. Do this and posses My peace. With your grace my friend, I will.




Yes my friend......thank you for allowing me to see that...


true joy is that which is found in all those who have discovered God in the most diverse situations and circumstances of life. And true peace is not the absence of conflict, tensions or war but the presence of God in our life. Joy and peace then is founded on a life of faith, on supernatural hope, on loving surrender to a loving God.


This kind of peace and joy is a very special kind because it endures in the midst of all trials and even in the darkest moments of our life. It rises over the present no matter how hard this may be or seem to be. Sadness and hopelessness comes to us when we place our hearts in ourselves and things that we believe will make us happy, thus in the end we find loneliness and sorrow.


Yes my friend, the greatest error I could make is to base my life on false security of material well-being, on human prestige, on money and things of little or no consequence at all. To place God first and ourself second is the beginning and basis of joy and peace. To live our faith is to live in a new light, serene and cheerful as God sees it. He is our source of joy and peace.


Help me then for I know your love will see me through in all this. This is not a mindless resignation my friend but an abandonment of a child to his Father's benevolence. I know without hardship there is no great victory...it is not by the impulse of its wings that bird flies but also by the resistance in the air. As long as I believe in God there will always be joy and peace. Don't you ever let me go my friend. I put my trust in you.
