DECEMBER 16, 2010 - DECEMBER 16, 2011 - YEAR OF THE YOUTH (Theme for the Simbang Gabi)
things that we can learn from the youth :)all worth remembering!
I. WILLINGNESS TO LEARN
Youth definition - the period between childhood and adult age according to United Nations age bracket is between 15-24 years of age, whereas the bracket for the youth in the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines is from 16-35 years of age as long as your unmarried...
its is typical of the youth to strive to know the truth, have a built in inherent desire to learn, whereas adults have fixations and no longer desire to learn or improve or to explore other areas or methods of learning or to experience new things.
- Learning does not depend on age but depends on mental attitude
- as in law practice -ignorance of the law does not excuse no one, you can even get jailed for it! due to culpability
- culpability - from the Latin root word Culpa - fault; guilt; Law neglect or negligence , we usually hear MEA CULPA, or my fault, my mistake.
( means deserving of blame or censure as being wrong, evil, improper, or injurious- blameworthiness).. so ignorance is a poor excuse.
- spiritually as with sin of ommission ... we SIN when we fail to do something that we can and ought to do and use ignorance as an excuse.
ignorance is never an excuse, specially on things you should know but may notbe willing to experience, to see and to learn anymore.
- Learning expels ignorance.
- Knowledge is power - Francis Bacon...
.....it is the power to choose right from wrong and to do good! and avoid sin, it is the very reason why we should learn, need to keep learning.
- Enjoy your youth, have the willingness to learn, be responsible.
- LEARN THE WAYS OF THE LORD -
- young people are searching for something, that inner longing, an emptiness that cannot ever be filled by material things or by anything ..... it is our innate homing instinct towards God.
- when you strive and theres a will to learn = you'll gain wisdom.
the excitement of of learning separates youth from old age as long as your learning your not old!
A Catholic Donkeys continuing JOURNEY.. Dear Jesus,you have made me be your little donkey. Please don’t leave me and I will stay with You always. Lead me, tightly harnessed by Your grace: You have led me by the halter; make me do Your Will. And so I will love you for ever and ever — The Forge, 381~ ST JOSEMARIA ESCRIVA

FORGIVENESS CORNER
this corner is for those who we want to forgive and those for whom we pray for forgiveness, let us ask Jesus to help us and open our hearts to forgiveness and forgiving. Look at the Cross and tell Jesus, Lord i want to forgive, im finding it hard to do so, help me. I chose to forgive and leave everything in Your loving hands.
