From Sambuhay Missalette of St. Paul Media Pastoral Ministry
Recently, I was invited to bless a call center. On the way to the blessing the owner expressed concern for his young employees. Many are living a gay lifestyle, others are promiscuous and are far from the Church. Many do not go to Mass – they work overnight, and sleep during Sunday. In the office […]

How do we obey the 3rd Commandment: Remember to keep Holy The Lords Day. I believed we need to do four things: 1. To express our thanks for the past week. To show our gratefulness for the supreme gift of life…. So we go to Mass for that. 2. To worship and show our respect, […]
How do we obey the 2nd Commandment: Thou shall not take the name of The Lord thy God in vain.:

How do we obey the 7th Commandment: Thou shall not steal.:
The letter of the law would mean we should not take another persons property without permission. However the Spirit of the law would include: 1. When we don’t pay our debts. 2. When we don’t perform our job well. 3. If we are an employer and we don’t share our profits. (The world is for […]
