The Theology Corner

šŸŒæĀ Welcome! This is more than a websiteā€”itā€™s a quiet corner of the internet where questions are sacred, reflection is encouraged, and faith is explored with honesty and depth. Whether you're rooted in tradition or wandering through doubt, here you'll find words that nourish, challenge, and awaken. We delve into theology not as a rigid system, but as a living conversation. Spirituality here is not an escape from the world, but a deeper engagement with it: through prayer, practice, and presence. This is a place for seekers, skeptics, and saints alikeā€”because the journey of faith is never linear, and grace meets us wherever we are. So take a breath. Stay a while. Letā€™s explore the sacred together.

  • Lent and Easter @Christmas? Just a thought!

    I was reading the Catholic Herald issue from Lent 2018 when I came across a small piece of text from Mary Kenny (see below) that made me somehow relate with the idea of how ephemeris our lives are. The fact is that the large majority of us don’t spend much time thinking about it and… Read more

  • Sources of Faith

    As a devout Catholic who is actively involved in my community and church, I have always believed that my faith and spirituality are firmly grounded in the Roman Catholic Church. However, life is a journey and my perspective has broadened over time. My parish priest, the Most Rev. Fr. Wiborg Pietra Torres, who was a… Read more

  • Short notes on suffering

    God knows what it is to suffer in Christ although suffering cannot overcome God. God is above and beyond suffering. Otherwise if God suffers in all of his being and if God is eternal, then suffering becomes potentially eternal as well. Now a central Christian insight into suffering is that is it real, but temporary.… Read more

    ā€œFor I judged not myself to know any thing among you…ā€ ā€ And I was with you in weakness…ā€ ā€ And my speech and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;ā€ ā€ That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but… Read more

  • The Cross – part A
