Welcome to The World
When you have come to the edge Of all light that you know And are about to drop off into the darkness Of the unknown, Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught to fly
When I saw others straining toward God, I did not understand it, for though I may have had him less than they did, there was no one blocking the way between him and me, and I could reach his heart easily. It is up to him, after all, to have us, our part consists of almost solely in letting him grasp us.
Experience has repeatedly confirmed that well-known maxim of Bacon's that "a little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." At the same time, when Bacon penned that sage epigram... he forgot to add that the God to whom depth in philosophy brings back men's minds is far from being the same from whom a little philosophy estranges them.
I just hope God does not get bored of dreaming me.
Let God's promises shine on your problems.
God's will is not an itinerary, but an attitude.
As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree" - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them.
Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.
Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.
Stella Maris School of Lubang
The School "TRUTH IN LOVE"
STELLA MARIS SCHOOL (SMS) is a Catholic Secondary School for boys and girls in the island of Lubang, Occidental Mindoro. It was founded in 1923 by the Society of the Divine Word (SVD). Presently under the Apostolic Vicariate of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, it aims to prepare its students for college education. Stella Maris School is named after Mother Mary under the title "Star of the Sea" (stella maris) because of its location.
SMS was administered and managed by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (SSpS) with the SVD Priests for 73 years. In 18 September 1995, the two storey building of the school was destroyed by an earthquake. From the rubble, Stella Maris arose anew through the collective effort of the teachers, parents, alumni and students. In 1996, the school administration and management was taken over by lay administrators when the Sisters of the Holy Spirit decided to leave Lubang island. For more than 80 years of existence, SMS has produced men and women who are now in different fields of endeavor giving witness to true dedication to God, country and fellowmen.
