Come Oh Holy Spirit, please fill the hearts of the faithful, enkindle in us the fire of Your Divine Love, send forth Your Holy Spirit, and please renew the face of the earth…starting with my thoughts, mind, heart, body and soul.

Today, after a good number of distractions, I have finally found the time to read , ponder and prayerfully share my thoughts on :

I learned in the process, it is St. Frances Xavier Cabrini’s feast.

 

Ever since I saw the movie trailer of  Angel’s Studio’s Cabrini , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02S9IcBPefw

 

I have been wanting to watch it. It has been  more than a year now.

 

I was considering it in our book/movie club, The DBC ( Dandelion Book Club) meeting the other day. We  brainstormed on what our December 2025 topic will be.

 

 

I guess, the Holy Spirit, is indeed leading me to this direction.

 

Here are the reflection questions and my answers for today’s gospel readings.

 

What is the best way to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?

 

What are you doing to help build the Kingdom of God right here, right now?

 

Last night, the girls and some good friends went north of Winnipeg to chase Aurora.

 

Ruel had other plans, thus, I stayed behind with him.

 

Watching the drone video of a newly discovered Winnipeg Filipino immigrant today, satisfied my curiosity while  not be exposed to the cold.

 

That is one way for preparing for anything especially the 2^nd coming of Jesus or my final breath a well.

 

My health has been quite frail lately, so, regular exercise and  rest is needed.

 

Later, I pray, my GP’s appointment will have better results and directions moving forward.

 

My November 7,2025 experience confirms the state of the Manitoba Health Care system.

 

A test of patience to be a good patient.

 

My contribution in helping build in kingdom of my  Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is to continue to be watchful and alert so I can detect and follow the leadings of the most Holy Spirit, that His mission for me, may be realized with much determination, resilience , faith, hope and love in all my ways.

 

May God be praised now and always.

 

Alleluia Lord Jesus, I place my trust and confidence in You.
