THIS MONTH'S ISSUE - January 2009...

 
To encourage hope
  As the world celebrates Barack Obama’s win in the historic 2008 US Elections, we cannot but be taken by the audacity of hope proposed and lived by this man as he overcame all odds to attain this victory. Why does the world celebrate his victory? Perhaps it’s because Obama symbolizes our hope for a world without discrimination, one of justice and real brotherhood. But we know that this euphoria will sooner or later subside when faced with harsh reality, especially at this point in history when the world is experiencing a global economic crunch.

PLAIN TALK

 
I have a GAY COLLEAGUE
Self-Denial vs. SELF-FULFILLMENT
 

“Very much involved in social and religious works, I also have a job in a school. In my workplace, there’s a gay colleague with whom I have a good friendship and we share many values together. A long time ago he also introduced his companion to me. They are both very sensible persons searching for the meaning of life and of their relationship. Would it be useful to give him a good book about fi nding real meaning in life? What can I do to build ‘relationships of fraternity’ with these brothers, loving them without judging them, yet also helping them understand God’s proper design on sexuality?”
Big Brother

“I often hear psychologists speak about self-fulfi llment.
Priests instead, talk about our denying ourselves. Who is right?”
Kiko, Quezon City
