Notes from the reliquary

by Russel Padilla | November 5, 2024 | Religion | 0 Comments

Relics, in their quiet presence, serve as markers of our shared faith journey. They remind us that faith, though it may dim, can be reignited. The relics I once pursued are now relics of my past, yet they remain beacons of continuity—a reminder that, even in seasons...

Last year, after reading Chesterton and Tolkien as Theologians by Alison Milbank (Bloomsbury, 2009; I read the Spanish translation titled La teología de Chesterton y Tolkien, Granada: Editorial Nuevo Inicio, 2022), I fell into the rabbit hole of devouring every Lord...

Being Left Alone Gliding

by Russel Padilla | September 25, 2024 | Philosophy, Random Thoughts | 0 Comments

The Phenomenology of the Betrayed People hates betrayal. Yet, it is no strange phenomenon among individuals. Every person experiences betrayal: either as the betrayed or the betrayer. Every person has his/her own way to see it. Thus, it would take eternity to define...

Russel

Lennon

Russel and Lennon had been friends since childhood. They started as Altar Servers of their parish where they began to love Sophia -wisdom- and search for her. Reading and discussing anything that tickles their curiosity, the two friends began to research and share more of their knowledge in religion, society, and philosophy.

With the two now living their life in their own distinct fields -Russel is a civil servant while Lennon is a consecrated person- their passion and vocation of teaching compelled them to open up their private friendly discussions to wider set of friends through TUUMT.
