Goodbye And Godspeed, Fr. Joel!

Last April 5th the Catholic Women’s League gave Fr. Joel Sulse a despedida luncheon. He will soon leave for Rome for further studies. We find it hard to say good bye to someone like Fr.

“I am deeply honored and humbly touched by the support and love accorded to me by you, my beloved parishioners.

“Blindness and Power Play” by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM
“You were born a sinner and now you teach us!” This remark by the Pharisees to the man-born-blind is a very paralyzing and belittling statement. This is borne out of a certain bias against him since they believe that his physical disability is a product of a curse or a sin done by his ancestors.Continue reading ““Blindness and Power Play” by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM”
“Vengeance, Violence …Love, Holiness” by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM
Browsing through my files while preparing my reflections for this Sunday, I asked to reprint this reflection of mine about Mt. 5:38-38. Paving our way to the road of the Lenten season, I feel that the thoughts here will help focus ourselves with the beauty of the Law and human relationships. It goes with theContinue reading ““Vengeance, Violence …Love, Holiness” by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM”

How did this revelationContinue reading ““Manifestation of God (in our Beloved Pope and in Us)” (Mt. 2:1-12), by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM”
“Solemnity of Christ The King: The King Who Saves”, By Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM
The underlying spirituality here is despite our wickedness and misgivings, the love of Christ will always be overflowing in us. But like the repentant thief in the gospel, we need to recognize in faith the kingship of Jesus and His holy operations and intents. We celebrate this Sunday the Solemnity of Christ the King. TheContinue reading ““Solemnity of Christ The King: The King Who Saves”, By Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM”
“Faith: The Key to a Real Thanksgiving”, by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM
St. Paul in his letter to Timothy tells us that God will never deny us, and He remains faithful no matter how unfaithful we are as human persons. Therefore, let it be an encouragement for all of us on how we can follow the spirit of God. “Where are the other nine? Has none butContinue reading ““Faith: The Key to a Real Thanksgiving”, by Fr. Joel Sulse, OFM”
