"Dear Kuya Jeff, we had a great session last night in the spiritual warfare series, especially the part about moving from being wounded to becoming a witness. Thank you for that—it really spoke to us. We just wanted to ask a question about sacramentals, particularly crucifixes. Our worship ministry head recently instructed that all crucifixes should depict Jesus with His right foot over the left. Because of this, he asked that crucifixes showing the left foot over the right be removed. We found this a bit confusing and wanted to understand if there is a Church basis for this. We also wanted to ask if it matters where we buy religious articles. Is it important that they come specifically from Catholic religious stores, or is it okay to buy them from other places as well? We’d really appreciate your guidance on this. Thank you, and we’re looking forward to our next Formation Friday." - Maricel and Rochelle

​“Dear Kuya Jeff, congratulations! We had a wonderful discussion earlier tonight. I particularly appreciated when you said, 'If you’re not asking sorry or repenting, God’s forgiveness is not applied in the way that reconciles you with Him. But God is always ready to forgive the moment you turn to Him with a contrite heart.' This reminds us that the key is admitting one’s fault and being truly sorry. Similarly, God forgives us as we forgive those who have wronged us. As you mentioned in Luke 17:3-4, we are called to forgive anyone who admits their fault and seeks forgiveness—even if it happens repeatedly. My question is: how should we respond when someone who has wronged us never admits their fault or shows remorse? Can we still forgive them? I also read in Matthew 5:23-24 that before presenting an offering to God, we must reconcile with anyone against whom we hold a grudge. Does this mean we can forgive without full reconciliation? I would greatly appreciate your insights on this. I also promise to continue attending our Spiritual Warfare series every Friday. Thank you, and more power to you!” – Mayline K. / Macario C.
