Brave thoughts of Pinoy youth on family and faith
By Jose Wendell P. Capili
Contributor Inquirer News Service

'Nurturing our soul'

AS Manila hosts the World Meeting of Families this month, it would be worthwhile to look into the thoughts of young people about the world, their condition and their aspirations. "Heaven's Kitchen," a book of prayers and reflections, should somehow provide us that peek.

The book collects the inspirational essays and prayers that first came out in the paper's Witness (religion) section under the column that now sports the book's title.

According to seminarian Eldric Peredo, the paper's associate editor, the articles were meant "to provide some relief from the hard-nosed news and feature stories" that the paper usually carried. The column became so popular that, to student circles in and out of UST, it became synonymous with articles passionately dealing with faith and reason.

Several entries in "Heaven's Kitchen" problematize "black" and "white" as signifiers of a fundamental polarization of human worth-superiority/inferiority.

For instance, Anna Rachelle Ariola's "Spiritual Makeover" depicts the need to reassemble an identity out of the refractions of material deprivation as it talks about an "impulsive shopper": "My friend... confided that this was her way to compensate for the things that she lacked... We so pamper ourselves with products that can enhance our appearance that we tend to neglect that part of us which deserves the much-needed nurturing-our soul."

Facing fear

It is equally brave for many writers in the anthology, young as they are, to face fear squarely-fear of exposure, the fear that one's deepest emotions would be taken as nonsense.

Law student Marlon Castor's "A Mother's Undying Love" affirms this and betrays a commitment to feminist inflections amid contemporary male politics in the anecdote of a mother who urges her son to go to Mass alone since she will have to do the laundry: "'But my teacher said if you won't go to Mass, you'll go to hell,' the boy said. The woman smiled and said, 'Better me than you, my son.'"

Castor's "Picking Up One's Cross," on the other hand, comes to terms with the masculine persona's deep recesses: "Most of my college buddies were surprised to learn that I was back in school. Before, they had to literally drag me to attend class."

Michelle Jeanne Dompor's "On and Off" moves from silence to coherent speech by cultivating the interior life: "I went to the pew, knelt down and bowed my head. There I prayed in silence..."

In "The Inner Voice," Christian Bautista shows how young people accumulate emotional baggage because of the chaos of never-ending possibilities (the hegemonic world of grown-up people): "At a low point of my life, I once blamed God for not giving me something I sorely wanted. Looking back, I cringe at the fact that I was dumb enough to think that God had it for me."

Marie Carisa Ordinario's "Letting Go" shows how young people need compassion and greater understanding as they undergo rites of passage, like a girl who has to face the prospect of separation from her sister who has married: "Suddenly I felt alone... There is no other way to go around it... my sister may no longer live with us... [but] she is happy and having the 'greatest adventure' of her life."

In discussing faith, families and human worth, some young writers tend to agree with Derrida when the latter deconstructed the opposition between private and public. His trick was to recognize that in every textual production there was the itinerary of a constantly thwarted desire to make the text explain.

Meanwhile, the young writers of "Heaven's Kitchen" choose to reconstitute the family by a return to the traditional basics. By adhering to one's good sense, the Varsitarian seems to say, homes will never be provisional.

"Heaven's Kitchen" concludes by urging readers to find rootedness in faith, family and friends.
