Bayani nating itinuturing ang ating mga healthcare frontliners ngayong may pandemya. Kaya naman naisipan naming mga Pads na magbigay pugay sa kanila, by looking into what our Catholic faith and tradition teaches us about the healing ministry. By doing so we hope to enhance their practice and for everyone else, to remember that all of us, by virtue of being Christian, are called to be healers to each other. 

Blue is the color of sadness . . . but also of Mama Mary. So ano ba talaga? Pwede both? Of course! In this episode we talk about the feelings that get us down (napakarami sa panahon ngayon), what our human experience and our Catholic faith says about sadness, and most importantly how Mama Mary can be a model for how sadness can not only be dealt with, but even be the crosses that sanctify and save us. 

Time for another candid kwentuhan, pero ngayon medyo mabigat ang aming paghuhugutan. Pinasok na ng pandemya ang aming seminaryo, at isa sa aming mga Pads ang nahawa! In this simple sharing listen to two perspectives of the COVID experience: one from the infected who underwent 17 days of quarantine (and more!), and from the community who had to come together to care for their sick while keeping themselves safe. 

We're back! And in this (nosebleed) episode, nakasama namin ang missionary from Malta na si Fr. Mark Demanuele, MSSP. From his funny vocation story, to touching stories of mission in Canada, Pakistan, and now the Philippines, this is an episode packed with insight and fun. 

Fill in the blank: _____ is CANCELED! These days, cancel ang sigaw ng madla pag may nakita itong pagkakamali. Pero bilang Kristiyano, we have to ask: is this the way of Jesus? How does canceling people fit into a Christian community? Or is there a better way? Samahan sina pads sa kanilang pag-usisa sa cancel culture. 

Can sports lead us to holiness? Pwede bang maging panalangin ang pag-exercise? Lahat tayo ay lubusang napasaya ng ating historic performance sa Tokyo Olympics 2020, but our first gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz made it not just about sports but about faith. Kaya ating tingnan kung bakit nga ba mahalaga ang physical fitness sa ating spiritual health. 

All the way from Myanmar we have Fr. Kurt of the Society of St. Columban. This is truly one for the books as we listen to the real-life experiences of an undercover missionary. From Fiji to Myanmar, from bloopers to scary encounters, Fr. Kurt debunks myths and edifies us with what life in the frontlines of faith is really like. 

Babala: Corny animal jokes ahead. But animal puns aside, sa episode na ito pag-uusapan namin  ang common question tungkol sa mga beloved pets natin: pupunta rin ba sila sa heaven? Also, dahil pareho kaming animalistic—este, animal lovers, we will also share some cherished memories and learnings mula sa mga minamahal naming alaga. 

Himala nga ba o kababalaghan? "Walang himala!" o "There can be miracles when you believe"? Madalas tayong makarinig ng news tungkol sa mga bagay na 'di maipaliwanag. But how does the Church officially deal with miracles, apparitions, healings, and the like? At tama nga bang umasa sa himala? Isang masayang kwentuhan po muli ang handog ng mga Pads. 

Time for another Pari Tales, the most casual and raw conversations namin ni Pads Khris and Albert. At ngayon napagmunihan namin ang iba't ibang mga talents, passions, and giftedness that we see in our brother priests and in each other. Part asaran, part tawanan, break muna tayo sa seryosong usapan at maki-tambay sa aming kwentuhan.
