It has taken me a great while to disover it myself and, frankly, the discovery is a continuum each and every day. Like I always say, I'd rather be spiritual than religious. While I was in the Philippines two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to talk about it with two of your first cousins--Kuya Boy and Ate Cora--both of whom are members of a religious group: Couples for Christ and Marriage Encounter, respectively for both. Before I left, I thought they understood well enough the difference between the two, after they asked me innumerable questions about them. The Holy Spirit must be guiding me all through my explications. Anak, you're on your way to unmistakable godliness: being spiritual is far more than one can aspire to be; although to be religious helps pave the way to genuine spirituality. Dear Anak,
