                    [Summary] => 

Another lesson made clear to me during the IEC is that the Eucharist can well be the very test and proof of our catholicity and universality.

I don't think it's an irrelevant or irreverent question to ask. Given the temper of the times, I believe it's a question that needs to be asked, though some qualifications also have to be made.

Talking to young people about the devotion to the Sto. Nino, I get the strong impression that their attitude toward him is mostly at the level of the externals and the social. There's some tinge of religion in it, but all that is somehow drowned by a big layer of the fun and the 'coolness' that accompanies such devotion.

Tell that to the Marines! Unless we do something concrete and drastic, such aspiration would just remain as empty words, a gust of hot air, a joke, a sheer piece of nonsense.

We need to digest this point well. Our best efforts can still be made better. In fact, it should be the case, otherwise we stand to get spoiled ourselves. This is doable because, in the first place, we are actually meant, designed and equipped to do it.

It's, of course, a given. We are all sinners! There's nothing new about that. Whether you are a priest or a mayor, saintly-looking, good-looking or plain-looking, we all have feet of clay, and from time to time, we fall in spite of our best efforts. It's only the self-righteous and the hypocrite who stupidly thinks he is without sin and has the right, even the obligation, to judge others.
