Mindanao's boom towns

Have you read about the boomtowns in Mindanao? Many towns over there are booming and how!

* * *

 In these booming towns many are dying to see the region become not just a land of promise but a land of fulfillment.

 A police officer in Metro Manila was caught in the act with a woman in a motel room. Here’s another unbeliever of the 11th commandment.

 Thousands of flies are attacking a town in Davao. The local officials should do something. Don’t wait for the UN to declare the place a no-fly zone.

 E-mail from Mrs. Ramona Delgra: “A woman has found a P200,000 gold bracelet in a hand-me-down jacket (?). This has created some stir among the people, including the police. Isn’t it the rule that the finder keeps the thing he/she finds? It’s supposed to be God’s blessing to the finder.”

 Semana Santa having just begun, let me talk about the Cross. I mean the Sign of the Cross. Why do we make the Sign of the Cross? “Oblates” magazine of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, explains:

* * *

 “When we make the Sign of the Cross upon ourselves, we are expressing our belief in God and the Trinity. Through it, we remind ourselves of God’s love for us, of the sacrifice Jesus made to give us eternal life, and the presence of the Holy Spirit within us.”

* * *

 “The Sign of the Cross also gives us a way to express our belief in Jesus’ death and our hope in the Resurrection.”
