classroom scene

The teacher, during an English lesson asked the students: Now tell me. What do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?"
A student in the back bench replied: "A teacher."

There was a school girl who was so cross-eyed that when she cried, the tears from her left eye fell on her right cheek.

Tommy's teacher wrote to his mother: "Tommy is a bright boy, but he spends all his time thinking about girls."
Tommy's mother wrote back to his teacher: "If you find a cure, let me know. I'm having the same trouble with his father."

The God of Silence

God is the God of silence. If you wish to hear him, first you have to keep quiet in order to listen to Him. In the silence of your heart you will hear him speak.

In order to have this grace, allow yourself to take time to pause and keep quiet and be at peace, then you will know that the God of silence is present within your being. May Jesus fill your heart with His peace.

False confessor

Fortunato is a small farmer who used to confess to Fr. Leon. One day, Fr. Leon disappeared from the barrio because he was sent to the city. Fortunato learned about this transfer and decided to search for him in the city. He entered a church and found a confessional box. He knocked at one box and inquired.
"Excuse me, Father, are you Fr. Leon?
"No," my son. I am Fr. Wolf," the priest replied.
"Oh, I am sorry, Father. I entered the wrong cage.

Fraternal life

Fraternal life in community has undergone many transformations and changes that have created repercussions within the Church, especially after the Second Vatican Council. There have been theological developments, canonical developments and developments in society. Religious men and women were mostly influenced by the impact of these major changes, foremost among which is the preferential option for the poor, the impoverishment of depressed areas in many places of the developing countries.
