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...
Finally, the Easter Triduum!
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 17, 2025 - 12:00am
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
We should process well this truth about ourselves so that we would always feel urged to continually feel this need for repentance and conversion.
Turn everything into prayer
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 10, 2025 - 12:00am
That’s the challenge we have to learn to tackle.
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.
Pivoting from the customary to the heroic
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - April 2, 2025 - 12:00am
This is how our spiritual life should be, how our relation with God and with everybody else should be. It will always involve the dynamic of pivoting from where we are at the moment to another and higher level of...
Despite all our stupidities
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 30, 2025 - 12:00am

All laws should lead us to Christ
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 26, 2025 - 12:00am

The call for sobriety
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 24, 2025 - 12:00am
A good number of times, the Bible reminds us of the need of this virtue of sobriety. The following passages are a few of the examples:
We need to live the Christian spirit of poverty
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 20, 2025 - 12:00am
That parable about the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus, (cfr. Lk 16,19-31) clearly reminds us that we need to live the Christian spirit of poverty which, if understood properly, is not about what you have or what...
Charity should inspire our pursuit for knowledge
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 19, 2025 - 12:00am
Indeed! Otherwise, our pursuit for knowledge not motivated by and oriented toward love for God and others would only be a pure exercise of self-indulgence, prone to many other anomalies like pride, vanity, lust,...
“Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful”
by Fr. Roy Cimagala - March 17, 2025 - 12:00am
Christ said it very clearly! We need to be merciful and forgiving of everyone since that trait or attitude would liken as to God our Father who wants us precisely to be like him. (cfr. Lk 6,37)
