Discovering the Joys of Life

The mystery of death is beyond us and inevitable, but once we recognize death, understanding it means understanding life. 

This is an invitation that, before the big sleep, we must learn to discover the joys of life where peace, love, and serenity thrive; that God's love is the foundation of all forms of love and a driving force to share the love through our compassion and charity.

Being self-aware is an essential step in our understanding of who we are, what we do, and why we do it, and what gives meaning to us in life. The mystery of prayer is key to understand the mystery of human life; that living the present moment is the grace that we have every day. Being grateful of life, of people, of events, and moments that we are called to take an adventure and learn to be playful as children of God.  

This book is a ray of hope in this troubled time. It will restore our conviction and strengthen our faith in a God who assures us, "BE NOT AFRAID!" (Mt. 14:27)

Most. Rev. Gerardo A. Alminaza, D.D.

I commend Fr. Nolasco for writing this book and for sharing the fruits of his pastoral experience to us all. His work will surely aid us in our journey towards spiritual maturity and realization as Christians. Its publication is definitely timely. The book creatively spells out moments of joy even in most difficult situations in our lives.

His Eminence Jose Cardinal F. Advincula, Jr. D.D.

This book is a great help for everyone who looks for joy, peace, and meaning in life.
