Everyone dreams to become HOLY!

The first two web logs that I created were products of my own vision and creative abilities..hahaha... This is my first time to introduce into a BLOGGER's world. hhahah.. It is an enjoyable activity; creating a blog, publish it so that friends can know,  observe,  and comment as well. In this third situation of mine, though nonetheless a product of my imagination, hahahha.. I somehow focus on one of the YOUTH ACTIVITIES in the Archdiocese,  that is; VOCATION JAMBOREE...hahahahahahaha..



The Call to HOLINESS is 
everybody's BUSINESS. Though not a fitting translation, but that's it..hhahahhhaha...


 Listening to mentors or to elders is an important aspect in life.  As the saying goes, "Mother knows best." We must listen to our mothers..hahahha.... or else we get lost..

Young people were listening to the instructions of the speaker about what to do and how the program proceeded. 














Reminiscing our youthful days adds ingredients to our spirit.....






Being a friend to everyone is always an asset of a young man...hahahha


The dream youth buddies....hhahahahahh

Yes, I was there present in a single-day  event last November 15, 2014. It was held in USJR-Balamban Campus, of the Archdiocese of Cebu, Philippines.  A successful event, though, the mini-Vocation Jamboree was truly an activity that the Youth loved so much. I became an eyewitness of some sort and it was an amazing experience because young adults were very interested in the so-called VOCATION. Though in mind they have already a hint on what to follow, but a living example is what they are looking for. They spoke to different members of different Congregations and asked questions about "vocation". Indeed, they were contented with what they were experiencing. 

Evangelizing the youth of today is always a heavy challenge for us future priests. As custodians of God's flock, we must constantly remind ourselves that the future of the church is in the hands of the Youth. Holding up their activities makes them recognize that the Church is always their ally. Young adults of today are truly the prototype of the future Catholic Church. 


The Mini-Vocation Jamboree ended with the Eucharistic Celebration presided over by the Auxiliary Bishop of Cebu, His Excellency Emilio "Boy" Bataclan, D.D..






In answering God's call, we respond: HERE, I AM LORD
