Each Man is an Island
By Fr. Joseph A. Galdon, S.J.

  • Fr. Joseph A. Galdon, S.J.
  • - Fr. used to write a weekly column, The Mustard
    Seed, in the Manila Chronicle.
  • "Speaking in his very gentle and convincing way,
    Fr. Galdon shows his readers how to see God and
    converse with Him in even the most mundane
    situations. Fr. Galdon infects us to see God and
    to reach out to Him from the most mundane of our
    day... Fr. Galdon suggests that everything and
    everyone should inspire us to ask for God''s
    blessing." - Dolly T. Dy

. . . Says . . .
  • Simon Garfunkel
  • I am a rock
  • I am an island. I build walls that none may
    penetrate.

Saint James If one of the brother or one
sister is in need of clothes and has not enough
food to live on, and one of you says to him I
wish you well. Keep yourself warm and eat
plenty, without giving him this necessities of
life, then what good is that?

  • There is something we can do. We can build
    bridges. There is a gift that all of us can give,
    no matter how poor in money or in talent hold
    out your hand and let your heart be in it.
  • -Fr. Joseph Galdon, S.J.
