    SHEPHERD'S STAFF
We are like thirsty and hungry sheep in the middle of a luscious green meadow, yearning to be nourished by our good Shepherd. We oftentimes lose our way and "even though [we] walk through the darkest valley, [we] will fear no evil, for [the Lord is] with [us]; [His] rod and [His] staff, they comfort [us]" (Ps 23:4). We know that the Lord will always be with us no matter what for "[He is] the Good Shepherd, who lays down His life for the sheep" (Jn 10:11).

This section is about some of our basic questions on Christian life and ministry. The Lord teaches and directs us through the Church.

   PILGRIM'S KNAPSACK
   A pilgrim is on a journey towards holiness. A pilgrim travels lightly yet seizes the moment to reflect and enjoy every blessing.

    A CUP OF COFFEE
   A cup of coffee in the morning may give more than just an energy boost. More and more research is emerging to suggest that there may be several health benefits associated with drinking this dark black beverage, from helping prevent diabetes to lowering the risk of liver disease. More than health matters, coffee can be an avenue for spiritual reflections. A sip of coffee may boost a random thought, a reflection, an anecdote, and other stories.

LITURGICAL YEAR
   The Catholic Church sets aside certain days and seasons of each year to recall and celebrate various events in the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

      Advent
   Advent has a twofold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas when Christ's first coming to us is remembered; as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ's Second Coming at the end of time. The four-week Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation.

      Christmas
    The Church holds most sacred the memorial of Christ's birth and early manifestations. Christmas is not just a day but a season which runs from evening prayer I of Christmas until the Sunday after Epiphany or after 6 January, inclusive.
      Ordinary Time
   Ordinary Time begins on Monday after the Sunday following 6 January and continues until Tuesday before Ash Wednesday inclusive. It begins again on Monday after Pentecost and ends before evening prayer I of the First Sunday of Advent.

      Lent
  Lent is a preparation for the celebration of Easter which disposes both catechumens and the faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery.

      Easter
   The fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost are celebrated in joyful exultation as one feast day, or better as one "great Sunday”.

    A particular calendar is prepared by inserting in the General Calendar special solemnities, feasts, and memorials proper to that calendar.
