Balik-Tanaw | Pagbabago Ngayon Na
Tulad ni Hesus na hindi nangiming harapin ang nasa kapangyarihan upang ipahayag ang mabuting balita sa mga mahihirap, paglaya sa mga bihag at palayain ang mga inaapi. (Lukas 4:18) Buhay man ang naging kapalit.
Balik-Tanaw | Kagalingan Bilang Pamayanan
Ang tunay na pagbangon mula sa isang krisis kailanman ay hindi maaaring gawin ng may pagkakanya-kanya. Tulad ng pagharap natin sa pandemya, hindi maaaring kumain at uminom ang iba habang patuloy ang pagdurusa ang marami.
Balik-Tanaw | They will be called ‘My Delight’
The gifts of the Spirit support this promise. That being God’s Delight, though we are suffering, God will supply us with wisdom, understanding, fortitude… gifts that will allow us to shine to be truly God’s Kahalihalinang Liwanag.
Joys and Sacrifices of Proclaiming God’s Jubilee
As forerunners of just peace, equity, and liberation, like John the Baptist, who announced the coming of the Messiah, the task is truly a challenge and may possibly cost one’s life while in the process. Announcing God’s jubilee would mean proclaiming that salvation does not only involve the soul but as well as the physical, mental, economic, social, and political aspects of our human life.
Balik-Tanaw | Make the winding roads straight
This Second Sunday of Advent we are admonished to have a second look at how we understand what it means to repent.
Balik-Tanaw | By the power of love, we command
Let us command, not beg. Let us make love our collective political capital to stand up against the enormous political power that has been the cause of our struggles in life. Jesus’ command to love God and to love our neighbors is our primary source of strength and inspiration.

Balik-Tanaw | Remembering Fr. Pops Tentorio, PIME
I am reminded of the life of Fr. “Pops” Tentorio, PIME, an Italian priest who spent 33 years of his life serving the indigenous people and poor peasants in Mindanao.

BALIK-TANAW | Pakinggan Ninyo Ito
“Ipagtanggol mo ang mga di makalaban, ipaglaban ang kanilang karapatan. Ipahayag mo nang malinaw ang katotohanan at ang katuwiran, at igawad ang katarungan sa api at mahirap.” (Kawikaan 31:8-9)
BALIK-TANAW | Kaninong Yapak Ba Ang Ating Sinundan?
Tandaan natin na si Kristo ay nakaranas ng matinding mga paratang, paniniktik, pananakot, pag-aresto, pagtortyur, at pagpako sa krus hanggang kamatayan. Ngunit muling nabuhay na muli kapiling ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan tulad ng mga magsasaka, manggagawa, mga ulila, byuda, mga aping kababaihan at bata. Sa katunayan, sila ang mga pinapahalagahan ni Kristo- silang mga minamaliit at pinagtatabuyan ng emperyo. Ang mga tulad nila ang dahilan ng kanyang pagsasakatawang tao upang maisulong ang kaganapan ng buhay para sa lahat at hindi lamang sa iilan.
