Just say yes

Today is March 25. Exactly nine months before Christmas. Thus, we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation. When Mother Mary said yes to God and, as we say in every Angelus, conceived by the Holy Spirit.

I've never commemorated this day before, March 25. I've never thought to celebrate the Annunciation. It was always just a mystery in the Rosary to me. But how wonderful it was to learn about it in mass today. For it was this thought that I took with me as I started studying for my final exam in human ontogeny and parturition. I thought, if I had to learn about the conception, fetal development, and birth of a mother to her child, might as well be that of the Mother Mary and her Baby Jesus, right?

I've been dreading the thought of having to take finals. But it doesn't seem so bad now. This was the new perspective that I needed. Thank You.

Yesterday's second reading

"...Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own."

- from St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians

Plug!

In a tight spot, these little white lies are usually our best choice of escape. They’re not exactly good but neither are they qualified as heinous crimes. They’re just simple acts that make the truth, and life in general, a little sweeter, a little easier to swallow, and a whole lot more fun.

In that spirit of a fun-spirited escape, we’re having a White Party at the Hexagon Lounge, RCBC Plaza on March 5, 2010 for the benefit of PagKalMa, the service arm of Phi.

Your ticket to a night of white hot fashion, booze, games, prizes, and surprises is sold for P250.

Come in your whitest wear or reveal your sugar coated affair.
