Baka simpleng salita lang para sa iba.
Pero paano kung sa likod ng dalawang salitang ito, may Diyos na marahang kumakatok sa puso mo?
Hindi naman kailangang alam mo agad ang lahat.

Ang bokasyon ay hindi laging nagsisimula sa katiyakan minsan, nagsisimula ito sa isang tanong na paulit-ulit bumabalik:

“Paano kung tinatawag nga ako?”

Kaya huwag mong takasan agad ang tanong.
Dalhin mo sa panalangin.
Pakinggan mo ang puso.
At hayaan mong ang Diyos ang magpaliwanag ng tawag.

Dahil baka ang “Magpari ka” na narinig mo ngayon ay hindi lang paanyaya para maging pari, kundi paanyaya na maging taong handang magbigay ng sarili para sa Diyos at sa Kanyang bayan.

At kung sakaling ang sagot mo ay “Oo, Panginoon,”
baka hindi lang buhay mo ang mabago.
May mga buhay ding makakatagpo ng Diyos.

Sa bawat batang nakikinig, may pusong unti-unting hinuhubog ng Diyos. Kaya ang katekesis para sa akin ay hindi lamang pagtuturo ng mga salita ng pananampalataya, kundi tahimik na pagtatanim na balang araw, sa tamang panahon, Siya mismo ang magpapalago.

Sa munting paglilingkod na ito, mas nauunawaan ko ang aking bokasyon: ang magturo, magmahal, at maging daan upang mas makilala ng iba si Kristo.

Catechesis is not only what I teach; it is also how I live my “yes” to God.

As I stood before that quiet field, I realized that the most beautiful things often grow without asking to be seen. Every flower simply remained where it was planted, trusting the One who cared for it.
It reminded me that a vocation is not built in extraordinary moments, but in the quiet faithfulness of each day.
God gently forms a soul through ordinary days, hidden prayers, and silent acts of love.
Though the world may never notice, nothing lived for Him is ever forgotten.
In His loving hands, every faithful heart blossoms in the way He has always intended.

Hindi lahat ay tinatawag sa iisang landas. Ang iba ay tinatawag sa buhay may-asawa, ang iba sa buhay relihiyoso, at ang iba sa Single Blessedness, isang buhay na malayang iniaalay sa misyon, paglilingkod, at pagmamahal sa Diyos at sa kapwa. Walang mas mataas o mas mababang bokasyon. Ang pinakamagandang buhay ay ang buhay na tumutugon sa tawag ng Diyos. Kaya bago pumili ng direksyon, matutong makinig. Baka ang pangalan mo ang marahang tinatawag ng Diyos.

Memorial of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel

Beneath the mantle of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, every faithful "yes" becomes a quiet witness of God's love. May her example lead more hearts to listen, trust, and follow Christ.

Some flights may be delayed, but they can still fly. But some people, once you miss them, they’re gone for good.”

This line comes from a short drama reel I watched titled Guided to Your Heart, and it deeply caught my attention. Of all the moments in the story, this was the line that remained with me, quietly and gently, the kind that lingers long after everything else has fallen silent.
In the journey of religious life, I have slowly learned that not everything unfolds according to the timing we expect. Some dreams seem delayed, but in God's time, they are never lost. They are quietly shaped, patiently formed, until they are ready to take their rightful place.
But people are harder to understand.
In community life and mission, we come to realize that not everyone who enters our journey is meant to stay, but everyone is meant to matter. Sisters who become part of our daily rhythm, formators who shape our "yes," companions in mission, and even brief encounters along the way, each one, in ways we often understand only later, becomes part of how God forms us.
There are people who seem ordinary while they are still near. Yet time has a way of revealing what the heart once overlooked. Some presences are not easily replaced, not because they were meant to be permanent, but because they were real.
And so, religious life gradually teaches us a different kind of love: to be present before absence teaches us appreciation, to be grateful before distance teaches us longing, and to recognize grace while it is still within reach.
Because while delayed flights may still take off, there are encounters that, once they have passed through our lives, never return in quite the same way again.
And in the quiet depths of vocation, we begin to understand: not everything that leaves is lost, but everything that has truly passed through us remains within us.
