Disturb us, O Lord Bishop TudTud Disturb us, O Lord when we are too well-pleased with ourselves
when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little, because we sailed too close to the shore. Disturb us, O Lord when with the abundance of things we possess,
we have lost our thirst for the water of life
when, having fallen in love with time,
we have ceased to dream of eternity
and in our efforts to build a new earth,
we have allowed our vision of Heaven to grow dim. Stir us, O Lord to dare more boldly, to venture into wider seas
where storms show Thy mastery,
where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars. In the name of Him who pushed back the horizons of our hopes
and invited the brave to follow.
Amen. fr. heart, SVD/PRAYERS/Disturb us, O Lord |

Time conjures both beginning and end. And as time goes on we have other beginnings and ends. It won’t be so that we begin like there’s no end; or all that we have to look forward to is the end, just because we have already begun. We discover in time, in our life, beginnings and ends and new beginnings and new ends. And the wonderful thing is the realization that life may not be a single thread at all. Even with a thread, do we know the beginning and end really? The beginning could be the end, or the end, the beginning. Then also, it is not just a thread; as it has its other uses and thereby takes other forms. This is the time that we begin. We take up the thread to start a new weave. On the occasion of the birthday of Mary our Mother, on the 132nd foundation anniversary of the Society of the Divine Word, we launch this website of our Philippine Northern Province - heartsonfire.name. We are set to join the global electronic network. Earlier on, confreres have been pressuring and encouraging us to establish a website, which did not materialize until some committed themselves really to work this out and create it. We thank them. We invite all of you at the same time to contribute and care for it, update it, make it presentable and relevant. It is not just a website. It is us – Philippine Northern Province. And it is not just us. It is us, members of the Society of the Divine Word, sons of Arnold, children of Mary. It is our way of witnessing to the Word, of following our Founder, of celebrating life as Mary did – to give life. May this website always reflect, communicate and remind us of our life – a celebration of giving. On this day, our Mother was given to us who gave us in turn the Word who took flesh and gave us His life that we would have life. A mission our founder undertook – that the Heart of Jesus lives in the hearts of all. Live, share and spread the Word through our witnessing lives. To all who arrive at this website – hearty welcome.
