It’s love that lets us to truly pray
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - May 15, 2025 - 12:00am
Do you have difficulty praying? Try to check if you are in love—that is, in love with God and with everybody else. Without that love, it’s not possible to truly pray. At best, we can give some appearances...
The toughness of Christian love
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - May 14, 2025 - 12:00am
That toughness comes from the supernatural grace of God. It is not just a human love, based only on natural forces, principles and motives which, given our wounded condition, are always hounded by our infranatural...

When we’d just be chasing after the wind
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - May 5, 2025 - 12:00am
This happens when with all the excitement we put into our earthly activities, we fail to reach the ultimate end proper to us, and that is, to be with God, to do everything to show our love for him, and to give him...
The cross as the summit of our life
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 30, 2025 - 12:00am
We have this happy assurance from our Christian faith—"God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”...
“More, more, more”
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 28, 2025 - 12:00am
Many years ago, when I was still studying for my priesthood in Rome, I attended a retreat where I heard a recording of a homily given by Opus Dei founder, St. Josemaria Escriva.
From nothing to abundance
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 25, 2025 - 12:00am
The secret is simply to follow what Christ tells us. He is always around and is eager to help us especially in our needs and helplessness. This we can gather from that gospel episode about the third appearance of...
Be welcoming to the cross
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 24, 2025 - 12:00am
That’s how our attitude should be toward the cross, in whatever form it may come to us. It may be in matters of health, finances, family and business concerns, etc., we should just welcome the cross knowing...
Restraint, moderation, fasting, abstinence
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 23, 2025 - 12:00am
Given the temper of the times, we really need to incorporate these attitudes, virtues, and practices into our system.
Proclaim the Good News of Christ
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 21, 2025 - 12:00am
Consider the great and overwhelming joy Mary Magdalene and the other Mary felt when they discovered the resurrection of Christ. (cfr. Mt 28,8) They ran, very eager to spill the Good News to Christ’s disci...

Thisis the highest point, the climax, of the redemptive work of Christ.
Staying calm before our unavoidable suffering and death
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 16, 2025 - 12:00am
That Christ knew that he would be betrayed by one of those close to him and thus suffer the consequences --his passion and death on the cross (cfr. Mt 26,14-25)-- should remind us that we too would be betrayed, if...
Getting involved in others’ lives
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 14, 2025 - 12:00am
If we really want to capture the heart of Christ, if we really want to have the same love he has for all of us, then we should train ourselves to get involved in the lives of others. That’s what Christ is showing...
Our constant need for repentance and conversion
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 11, 2025 - 12:00am

Turn everything into prayer
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 10, 2025 - 12:00am

Without God, everything we do would just be vanity
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 9, 2025 - 12:00am
Indeed, that is what would surely happen. Without God, despite whatever brilliance and human and worldly success we may manage to achieve through our powers alone, everything would just be an exercise of self-indulgence...
“Lord, show us the way…”
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 3, 2025 - 12:00am
THIS should be the request that we should constantly make as we pursue the real goal of our life, which is our own sanctification and our duty to do apostolate.

by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 2, 2025 - 12:00am
