Mission is a passion for Jesus and at the same time a passion for people.
~ Pope Francis
Let’s follow Chris† ‘s example by serving others ~ regardless of mistakes along the way (like my off-tune ♪singing♫ at Church yesterday ) ~ as our fai†h will always prevail, our missions won’t fail!

World Mission Sunday
Send me forth each day, O God,
to announce Your peace, love,
forgiveness and joy to all the earth. Like the Samaritan,
help me be a good neighbor.Like the Centurion,
help me confess my faith.Like the Beloved Disciple, help me to be a bold
and faithful witness to Your Resurrection.
All the world deserves to hear Your Good News.
Help me proclaim and live it today.
Amen.
~ Father Joseph R. Veneroso

Although autumn ‘s been around for a couple of weeks …
We haven’t officially experienced fall climate until this week!
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying GOD ‘s lush greenery while it still lasts!

Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident ! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the †LORD† your GOD , am with you wherever you go.
~ Joshua 1:9 *
Bishop Mike ~ who reminded me to look at the †cross† for renewed hope , ♥love♥ and trust ~ sent me this beautiful †cross† that was blessed by Pope Francis during his *Stateside* visit !
I received this generous gift from my spiritual mentor in great timing: the day before my latest conference call with my professor ** to practice my dissertation defense ~ in which I advanced to my first committee defense (preliminary presentation to my professors on board)! This reminds me of how the Bishop has always come through for me ~ particularly when he gave me the Holy Spirit blessing and medal right before I took my comprehensive examinations for my Master’s degree almost a decade ago!
He will not let you down.
~ Bishop Mike

During my bday vacay last week, I visited a home that is among my fondest memories :
my beloved soon-to-be (in 2½ weeks) Birthday Girl aunt’s estate !
Not only am I a fan, but apparently and rightfully so, her community also is as well because both
in ☼ The Baltimore Sun☼
The highlight of my stay was when I sat in my Tita Fe ‘s gourmet kitchen with Mami Aya , her siblings and their spouses ~ during which my MD aunts and uncles, who included
Tita Fe & Tito Rudy (my mom’s oldest sister and her husband)
Tito Robert & Tita Yollie (my mom’s youngest brother & his wife)
each endorsed me for my PhD ~ providing their sound advice that I’ll take with me as I progress toward my doctoral dissertation defense .
4:44 ~ make a Bday /BTS wish!!! ✌

What do you think of Pope Francis ‘ Laudato Si environmental encyclical?
Praise Be His creation!
I’m taking full advantage of taking care of my share of †GOD’s† ☼creations☼ and creatures this weekend!
Following a long week filled with grading speeches and continuing my doctoral dissertation data processing , I beat the heat before today’s rain hit to tend to the garden .
St. Francis of Assisi ~ the Patron Saint of Animals ~ welcomes GOD’s creatures into this Garden of Creation!
In bloom …
Fully blossomed!
To yours truly, gardening is very therapeutic …
And to my fine, furry friends, this gives them a chance to peer into the great outdoors !

I’ve always admired my parents ‘ hard work , not just in their jobs, but also in how they maintain their home.
To this very day, almost three decades since we moved into their forever home , I still consider it as the nicest one on the block all year round.
Just part of my parents’ front yard on the southwest side
My dad , who has a green thumb , takes pride in doing his own gardening .
My mother , who decorates for every single holiday, decks the halls and the porches to welcome each season.
A brand-new addition to their spring blossoms: This pink flower is in full bloom!

Remember my student’s science fair project about ♫music♪ effect on plants ?
Science Project Poster : an elementary eye candy version of the presentations that I teach and the research experiment that I’m conducting!
I still have his yellow hibiscus that went without ♪music♫ in the experiment.
Now that we’ve entered ♣spring♣, this hibiscus can soak in the ☼sunshine☼, bloom and blossom!
Today, we had a hail storm hit , but I didn’t have much notice to remove it …
Before … Will my hibiscus withhold this hail storm??
At least this fortunate flower’s still in tact in the aftermath of this April shower !
After … YES, indeed, she did survive without withering!!!
Friendly reminder: Earth Day is on April 22nd!
