                    [Summary] => 

As a child, I already knew how to pray, how to read the Bible, say my novenas. I grew up in a home where prayer was a constant. Even on summer vacations away from home, in Lola Carmen’s house in Cebu, we could play under the sun all day, but come evening, before going to bed, we had to pray. Lola Carmen would teach us songs that we would sing during the Masses held in her home. We met many priests in her home, a lot of whom became very close family friends.

It’s that time of year when my heart is full, I am at least five pounds heavier than when December started, and the tree is still up.

Here’s the rest of my list, looking back at 2013 and its lessons.

Listening to the Word of God in Scripture (Lectio Divina) is a traditional way of cultivating friendship with Christ. It is a way of listening to the texts of Scripture as if the person was in a conversation with Christ and He was suggesting a topic of conversation.

Eggs. The rain is making me think of you. It makes me want you, actually, even more than I always have and always will — for every breakfast that I’m almost never awake early enough to actually enjoy, for luncheons that everyone agrees can and should be the biggest meal of the day, for easy dinners, and especially for all those odd hours in between all three when I’m not supposed to eat but want to anyway. I turn to you at all sorts of odd hours and you never disappoint.

It was a regular Sunday night for me, pretty much uneventful if not for the always-fun time I have on the Shall We Dance set over at TV5.

There are certain months in a year when this sort of thing happens – February is one of them. Like a season, it comes and goes. For now, it is here.

There is just so much to do, so much to accomplish, so much to set in order. Running a household involves a million little details, being a wife has two million more hidden in the folds of everyday life, and being a mom has a double the sum of all three!

I still remember that day very clearly. My friends had somehow convinced me that this was no ordinary seminar or workshop on God. It was, they said, "a divine therapy."

More therapists? I had my fill of them already. No one could quite still that restlessness in me – it just couldn’t or wouldn’t go away. But a Divine Therapist? God was my therapist. Intrigued by that thought, I found myself agreeing to go.
