If I were to be asked by somebody (who may not be as handsome as William Baldwin) with this question: "What is one big mistake that you made in your life, and what did you do to make it right?", I would have said, "my major, major problem, err mistake, was being married to my ex-husband." To make it right? it's my decision to end the marriage. that's all. thank you.
Venus Raj is lucky and at 22, is young enough not to experience those nightmares that I went through. Good for her...

Retrouvaille
I always believe that married couples who are in the verge of separating need help. Marriage counseling plays a significant role in patching a wounded marriage. But a couple need to be humble first by acknowledging that indeed, there is a marital problem and BOTH parties must be willing to solve it.
In today's issue of Philippine Star, one of the featured articles that caught my attention was that entitled, "Retrouvaille program saves many marriages". Accordingly, the Retrouvaille program, the Catholic ministry designed to help trouble married couples renew their relationship, has already saved many marriage. Retrouvaille is a French word which means to rediscover.
If interested, there will be a Retrouvaille weekend seminar on August 14-15, 2010 at the Mother of Mercy Spiritual Center in Tagaytay. One may contact Fr. Dave Clay at tel nos. 098-902-0511 and 525-0308, Mar at 0927-315-3765 or Fe at 0918-918-7670. All calls will be held in strictest confidence.

Sacred Heart O Love Divine
O Sacred Heart! O Love Divine!
O Sacred Heart! O Love Divine!
Do keep us near to Thee;
And make our love so like to Thine
That we may holy be.
Heart of Jesus hear!
O heart of Love Divine!
Listen to our Prayer;
Make us always Thine.
O Temple pure! O House of gold!
Our heaven here below
What sweet delight, what wealth untold,
From Thee do ever flow.
Heart of Jesus hear!
O heart of Love Divine!
Listen to our Prayer;
Make us always Thine.
O Wounded Heart, O Font of tears!
O Throne of grief and pain!
Whereon for the eternal years,
Thy love for man does reign.
Heart of Jesus hear!
O heart of Love Divine!
Listen to our Prayer;
Make us always Thine.
Ungrateful hearts, forgetful hearts,
The hearts of man have been,
To wound Thy side with cruel darts
Which they have made by sin.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
I attended a 1st Friday mass here in the office few hours ago. Accordingly, first Friday is intended for the devotion of Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I remember when I was still in Butuan, I was still suffering from depression then (caused by my ex-husband's betrayal), I found solace in churches be it in Lianga, or at Butuan's Sto. Niño Shrine or Cathedral.
One Friday late afternoon, I just arrived in Butuan from a special audit in Lianga, I decided to drop by the Cathedral. There I chanced upon devotees of Sacred Heart of Jesus doing the praise and worship.
The feeling I had while I was in the church was indescribable. It was as if the deep burden I was carrying in my heart then was unloaded... That is, after I silently sobbed while kneeling and praying inside the church. I even covered my face with my already tear-soaked handkerchief just to cover myself. I was hoping I would not be identified by people and just be plainly oblivious to other churchgoers.
But please, don't get me wrong. I am not boasting that I am a prayerful person. I would just like to express what I went through when I was still nursing a badly bruised heart.
Anyway, since then, I became a devotee. But considering that I could not keep up with the church's early schedule of devotion, I decided to buy a prayer handbook and pray in the comforts of my bedroom.
The healing process was not easy... It took so much time... With the help of prayer, I gradually learned to deal not only with my depression but also, forgiveness...
