How does dualistic thinking affect religion?

How does dualistic thinking affect religion?The dualistic mind becomes most problematic in the world of religion. It is a stupid assumption that people not of my religion do not know God or that God does not care for them. Yet much of our world is trapped at this level of thinking. It tells me that religion has not been doing its job very well. It has been building boundaries more than bridges, and in this global age, this is becoming quite dangerous.Some time ago I came across this saying of…See More

Mindanawans - Saling Pusa in P-Noy's Administration?

Mindanawans and Muslims – ‘SALING PUSA’ in PNoy’s Governance?By Fr. Jun Mercado, OMIThe important symbol is that Mindanawans are sitting ‘around’ the table and not simply talked about. But Mindanawans’ participation in national governance is always ‘contested’. This is precisely what the peoples of Mindanao mean when they feel that they do NOT belong… Either they are treated as ‘saling pusa’ or junior partners. Read more...…See More

Learning from the Lessons of MOA-AD

Learning from the Lessons of MOA-ADBy Bong MontesaOn April 22, 2010, presidential candidate, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, in a speech at a Peace and Security Forum in Makati, made public his view of the “valuable but costly lessons” of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD). That these views continue to hold sway and remain to be President Aquino’s views were confirmed by Secretary Teresita Q. Deles in her discussion with us at Kusog Mindanaw two days ago. So what are these…See More

Where do I seek peace?

Where do I seek hope?The hope on the other side of despair is the unique gift of God to those who walk the journey called faith. That is why faith, hope, and love overlap. You cannot really have one without the other two. The hope united with faith and love is not based on anything in particular working out. It is a hope that comes to those who wait and walk at the same time.Such full hope believes that Reality can be trusted after all. It knows that Someone is good somewhere. Goodness is at…See More

Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this household’.” (Luke 10: 3-5)Reflection: The mission is no bed of roses… the demands are great – no money bag, no sack, and no sandals!

When do I wrestle with God?

When do I wrestle with God?The Scriptures call us into a personal struggle like Jacob’s, where God both wounds him and yet blesses him. It almost sums up the whole Bible. He wrestled with the angel of Yahweh and “won” (Genesis 32:24-31)! It became the very name “Israel.” In such a personal involvement, in our own wrestling match with the mystery of God, we come to the fullness of faith. The wonderful thing about this wrestling match is that God always allows us to win in the end, although in…See More

Trust in God's Guidance

In what ways do I trust in God’s guidance?Do you know that you are never absolutely sure you’re right when you’re living in faith? That’s exactly why it’s called “faith!” I wonder where this modern demand for certitude came from, which has produced fundamentalism?At the crucial moments in your life’s decision making, you are always trusting in God’s guidance and mercy and not in your own perfect understanding.You’re always “falling into the hands of the living God,” as Hebrews 10:31 says,…See More

Governance

"Governance is trusteeship. This means that running a community or nation is not a selfish affair but a matter of taking care of others. Governance is more than management of a business; it is stewardship of the power inherent in the office."
