To be truly Christian
We forget what is said in the Responsorial Psalm of the Mass: “The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.” (Ps 118,22) We need to see to it that our primordial duty as a person and as a child of God is to identify ourselves with Christ, who is the pattern of our humanity, the savior of our damaged humanity, the very “way, truth and life” that is proper to us. Whoever does not gather with me scatters.” (Lk 11,23) With these words of Christ, it’s very clear that we are supposed to be so united with Christ, so identified with him, that he and us can be considered simply as one. We are supposed to be ‘alter Christus’ simply because, if we have been created in the image and likeness of God, and Christ is the Son of God who is the perfect image and likeness that God has of himself, then we can only conclude that we have to be like Christ who is the very essence of love that is meant for us.

‘I forgive whoever has done this’: Australian bishop who survived stabbing speaks out
The Assyrian bishop who was attacked at an Australian church earlier this week shared that he is “doing fine” and told his attacker: “You’re my son, and you’ll always be in my prayers.” In what Australian police are calling a terrorist attack, a young male entered Christ the Good Shepherd Church on Monday evening, April 15, and stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. In a video announcement from Christ the Good Shepherd Church, Father Daniel Kochou confirmed that Emmanuel endured “non-life-threatening injuries” and is “stable.” Emmanuel said in the parish announcement, posted to YouTube, that “we need to be always thankful to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth for whatever trials and tribulations we go through.” “We are carrying the cross,” he said. “Let us not forget that at all.” Speaking from his hospital bed, Emmanuel confirmed that he is “recovering very quickly” and said that “there is no need to be worried or concerned.” “For this young man, I say to you, you’re my son, and you’ll always be in my prayers,” he said, speaking to his attacker.

Nitric oxide in daily life
Modern medicine has brought much improvement to those suffering from chronic diseases in terms of life span but there has been no direct correlation to health span, or the length of time that a person is healthy- not just alive. I mentioned steps that can mitigate the loss of nitric oxide- to wit, avoiding regular and unabated use of mouthwash, eating green leafy vegetables to provide source for the nitric oxide building blocks and using supplements that enhance production of nitric oxide. In the case of our CFC seniors, we hope that their life span be indeed extended because there is still a lot that they can contribute, especially in the realm of teaching, training and mentoring young couples and aspiring leaders.Every January, the top leaders of Couples for Christ ascend to the heights of Baguio to attend our annual Theme Weekend Retreat.
