Fasting Journal: Day 6: Thank You For Joining My Crazy Adventures!
Note: This Is My Last Message To You From My Fasting Journal
After 6 days of juice fasting, I feel so healthy, clean, and at peace.
Physically, I’m detoxified.
Mentally, I’m relaxed and attuned.
Spiritually, I’m whole and connected.
Today, I joined the Good Friday service in my parish.
After which, instead of joining the procession, I decided to just take a quiet walk around our neighborhood. It was so beautiful. I felt so at peace. I can’t imagine how something so simple can be so refreshing. Walking is free, with no fancy equipment needed. As I walked, I reflected on God’s love—so how couldn’t I be refreshed?

Fasting Journal: Day 5
Fasting Journal: Day 5: At Home, Happy and Handsome
I went home today.
And I feel tired, happy, and handsome. (That’s spoken in expectant faith.)
I always have this happy exhaustion after giving a non-stop string of talks.
In the past 6 days, I gave a total of 14 talks. And my body is saying, “Okay Bo, turn-off your boosters. Shut-off adrenalin valves. It’s time to relax…”

Fasting Journal: Day 4
Fasting Journal: Day 4: Getting Stronger By The Day
My 4th day of fasting was fantastic.
I felt stronger than ever. I gave 4 talks today in the retreat—and I just love my audience. In between talks, with Edwin Marcelo holding the camera, I did a few scenes for our daily internet TV show, Preacher In Blue Jeans. (If you haven’t watched that yet, go to http://www.preacherinbluejeans.com/ and be inspired.)
And in between my 4 talks, I didn’t take my siesta. That’s how strong I felt.

Fasting Journal: Day 3
Fasting Journal: 3rd Day With Chowking (!) & Quiet Walks With God
While I fast, I’m giving a retreat to almost 300 people in Tagaytay (divided into 3 batches). Preaching and blessing these beautiful people here is my great joy. Sometimes, I want to pinch myself. Is this really my life? My job is the best in the world.
It’s the third day of my juice fast. When I’m not with the retreatants, I’m in my room studying, still preparing for my FEAST talk on Easter Sunday. (If you live in Metro Manila, don’t miss it! Click here for venue.) And if I’m not doing that, I’m taking quiet walks under the blue sky with God beside me.
Let me share with you my guiding principle for prayer: I do what works.

Fasting Journal: Day 2
Fasting Journal: It’s Only My Second Day And I Feel Good Already!
I’m writing my fasting journal to you, to encourage you in your own prayer & fasting this Holy Week. This is my second day of 7 days of prayer & fasting.
This year, I’m taking a lighter—but healthier—type of fast: The Juice fast. (I did a “water only” fast years ago and I loved it, but I think it was too harsh for the body. In a “water only” fast, toxins are released too quickly and it shocks the system. In a juice fast, the toxins bind themselves with the juices and they get gently flushed out of the body.)
This year, I was a good boy and prepared for my fast well. About 3 days before my fast, I began eating smaller meals and avoided refined sugar—ice cream, pastries, etc.—to avoid withdrawal symptoms—which causes headaches, etc.More...

7-Day Prayer and Fasting Banquet
This Holy Week!
One day, a man lost his wife from a lingering disease.
Totally depressed and unwilling to live without his wife by his side, the widower decides to end it all. One morning, he left a suicide note, and went up the mountains. His plan was to starve to death. He would only allow himself to drink from the mountain streams, nothing else.More...
After a couple of weeks, the man noticed something. Though he had lost weight, he was not dying. On the contrary, he never felt healthier and stronger. Many ailments he suffered for years simply disappeared.
After a month, the man went down the mountain looking years younger. He eventually got married again and started a new family.

Is Your Lamp Lighted?
Is Your Lamp Lighted?
Emy Serafica Preaches To Me One Last Time
When I was 14 years old, I led the first ever prayer meeting of the Light of Jesus Community. My family was there, and so were twenty other people. Looking back, it was pretty comic. Why would a bunch of grown-ups follow a kid in a crummy tee shirt, jogging pants, and sandals? Especially a kid who watched Voltes V and even memorized its theme song? But that was what happened.
A few weekly prayer meetings more, Emy Serafica walked through the door for the first time. A tall, lanky fellow with a strong chin and broad smile, he looked like a 70’s actor. Not matinee idol material, but those guys with character roles. Like he could be the buddy of the main star or something like that.
