When leaders speak without wisdom, truth becomes weaponized.
When silence protects injustice, it becomes sin.
Prudence is not cowardice—it is moral courage.
Governance must answer to justice, conscience, and the common good.

Movie Review: “My Future You”
By: Fr. Arjon Dela Cruz
As a priest who walks with people in their joys and heartbreaks, “My Future You” was more than just a movie—it was a gentle spiritual retreat. It reminded me of two profound truths that we often forget in our noisy, fast-paced world: the gift of contentment and the power of a grateful heart, and that family is not just by blood, but by love.
The movie’s storyline, though simple at first glance, unfolds like a homily that sneaks up on you and then hits you deep in the soul. The characters journey through dreams, regrets, and what-ifs—only to realize that what they needed was never in a distant future, but right in front of them all along. Sometimes, the miracle we pray for is already beside us. We just need to open our eyes with gratitude.
In the heart of the film is a beautiful lesson: You don’t need to have everything to be truly happy. You just need to be grateful for what you already have. This echoes St. Paul’s wisdom in Philippians 4:11–13, “I have learned to be content with whatever I have… I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
But what touched me the most was the redefinition of family. As a priest, I’ve seen how many feel orphaned by life—forgotten by relatives, or left behind by fate. Yet this movie reminds us that family is not limited to those we share DNA with. It is built by those who choose to love us even in our worst days, who stay, who laugh with us, and even cry with us. They are our real home.
If you watch “My Future You,” bring tissue—and an open heart. It is not just a love story between two people. It’s a story of love that finds you where you are, reminds you to be thankful, and assures you that no one is ever truly alone.
Sa dulo ng lahat, hindi mahalaga kung anong meron ka, kundi kung sino ang kasama mo habang tinatahak mo ang buhay. And when you have a heart full of gratitude, and a soul that recognizes love in every form—it’s already a glimpse of heaven.
Highly recommended. 5 out of 5 candles lit.
From the heart of a priest who believes that every story of love—whether romantic, friendly, or familial—is always a story of God.

Never worry about what life throws your way—now or in the future. You’re not alone, and you never will be. No matter what happens, I’ll be here. As your strength when you feel weak, your calm in the chaos, your backup when the world gets heavy.
I’ve got you. Always.

Leaves will soon grow from the bareness of trees
And all will be alright in time
From waves overgrown come the calmest of seas
And all will be alright in time
Oh you never really love someone until you learn to forgive
You give me your humanity, and I will give you my Divinity; you give me your time, and I will give you My eternity; you give me your broken heart, and I will give you Love; you give me your nothingness, and I will give you My all. -Venerable Fulton Sheen
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference, living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; taking this world as it is and not as I would have it.
