My Religious Views

Someone will ask about what I believe, and what are my religious views. Well I am a loyal catholic believer I follow what the catholic church teaches, yet I am also liberal in my thinking, I used it to strengthen my catholic faith. I am open to the beliefs of others and use them to develop and strengthen my catholic faith. I know my catholic faith and I obey what the Church teaches, I do not allow myself be misled by intellectuall arrogance or false doctrines. I am also an existential person who is also focused on how to live my life to the fullest. I am not a lax catholic like what I am before. I study and read about my faith, I am not focused always on the affirmative or negative but always balance the two. I do not tolerate religious fanaticism or fundamentalism. I read the Bible but also seek the guidance of the learned and those in authority. I also read philosophical books especially atheistic ones but I do not agree with atheism yet i interpret them in a different non-atheistic perspective.

I am not a freelancer since I fully belong to the Catholic Church, Nor an agnostic since I really believe on the Judeo-Christian God. I am not a person who eventhough I have a liberal mind will already deny my catholic faith. I am liberal in the right manner, I do not recourse on philosophical debates nor interest in arguments, I simply live my life to the fullest and deepen my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Starting a New Life and Moving on to it

June is fast approaching, it is already the start of school year. Time flies very fast and our graduation was already over for the last previous months. This is the next chapter of my life, my former friends and classmates are now living their owns lives so as mine, sometimes it is difficult to forget them, the happy and sad memories that we have experienced, the new ideas we have tackled and the challenges that we have faced. Well the there is a saying 'Past is past' yest past is already over but the memories of the past still remains. Now I will now enter a new chapter of my life, entering a new formation year and dealing with new faces. It is not easy to adjust and adapt the environment that I am not used to but I must do it for my own good.

Seminary formation is really not an easy road to take, you need to make sacrifices in order to attain your goal and proceed to the finish line. Well others say 'if you want it, you'll get it', if we know our goal in life we will do what it requires even if you have to sacrifice everything in order for you to get it. God will not abandon us if we trust in Him, we can attain and reach our goals with God's help, of course we must do our part also. We must not become idle and being depenent on God, we must do our share also. Sigh! life is really changing, you experience new things in life, you learned from it and you grow from it.
