- - 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
