    6th Sunday of Easter

    6th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)Jesus did not believe in isolating the lepers, who are most in need of compassion. The reason why He heals the afflicted man even at the risk of being declared an outcast Himself.The mission of an Israelite was to participate in public worship of the only God. Yet, in order to enter into the Temple to take part in a religious assembly, he had to perform various rituals which made him pure.

    In the first Reading, Yahweh tells Moses and Aaron, A person infected with leprosy must wear torn clothing and leave his hair uncombed; he must cry, Uncleanunclean live away from others (Lev. 13:45-46). And in order for him to be able to participate again in the religious ritual in the Temple, he has to be declared cleansed by a priest.The Old Testament Laws addressed people who had not yet come to religious maturity and for that reason imposed on them a different way of life. These laws began to be strictly observed from the time of Ezra (after the Babylonian Captivity) and were followed by the Jewish community of the last centuries before Christ.So it is obvious why during the ministry of Jesus, the Jews still clung excessively to these p r e s c r i p t i o n s

    the leper, the person in need. Suddenly, a member of the group comes to us, touches our back, taps our shoulder, puts his hands on our shoulders or may even hug us. How do we feel? Dont we feel better? We feel we are not alone. Somebody is affirming us, telling us to go on, until we realize we are able to release everything that had been bothering us. And we feel relieved or I may say healed.

    Reflecting on todays Gospel, who do you think are our modern-day lepers? They are those people in need. They may be with their families but are made to feel nobody in family activities and decisions. They are the students who are bullied perhaps by their teachers, classmates and friends. In society, the poor, deprived, oppressed and exploited (PDOE) who are just remembered during election period. Sometimes we make lepers of ourselves by our annoying attitude, like self- righteousness, tactlessness, conceitedness, that turn off people and drive them away from us.How can we be the healing touch and words of Jesus? By doing our Christian responsibilities. We have to be observant and not only be engrossed

    in our personal affairs. In our observation of the happenings around, we ask ourselves, If Jesus is here in this situation, what would He do? Do it!

    Nagapasalamat gid ako sa kay Ginoong Jesus sa grasya sang bakasyon nga Iya ginhatag sa akon. Sang nagligad nga semana, nagkadto ako sa Baguio kag Tagaytay City.

    indi na sia makabaton sing donasyon para sa sini nga mga Misa. Ang iya ikaduha kag ikatlo nga Misa, iya dapat i-aplikar sa intensyon sang Obispo. Apang kon may ginbaton sia nga donasyon agud misahan ang intensyon sang naghatag para sa ikaduha ukon ikatlo niya ka Misa, ina nga donasyon indi niya matago sa iya kaugalingon, kundi nga ihatag ini sa Obispo nga amo ang nagatalana kon sa diin ini nga donasyon i-aplikar.

    Kag agud indi matabo nga malipatan sang pari nga nakabaton sia sang donasyon para sa Misa, kag may peligro nga indi niya ini mamisahan, dapat may ara sia nga libro sang listahan sang mga donasyon nga iya nabaton kag mga intensyon nga iya na namisahan. Sa sini nga paagi, mapasiguro nga ang mga intensyon sang mga naghatag sing donasyon para sa misa mamisahan gid, kon indi sang mismo nga pari nga nagbaton sini, sang iban pa nga mga kaparian nga nakahibalo sini gikan sa sina nga libro sang mga misa, halimbawa kon hinali nga mapatay ang nasambit nga pari. May katungdanan ang Obispo sa pag-usisa sini nga libro kada tuig, kon indi sa iya kaugalingon paagi sa iban nga mga pari nga iya gintugyanan sang sini nga bulohaton.

    Ang Pagtago, Pagtipig kag Pagsimba sa Santos nga Eukaristiya

    Ang Balaan nga Eukaristiya dapat taguon kag tipigan sa Katedral, sa mga Simbahan sang parokya, kag sa mga kapilya nga naangot sa balay sang mga komunidad sang mga relihiyoso. Kinahanglan ang permiso sang Obispo ang pagtago sini sa iban pa gid nga mga Simbahan ukon kapilya. Sa mga lugar sa diin natago kag natipigan ang Eukaristiya dapat nga may ara gid nga responsable sa pagtatap sini kag kon mahimo dapat mamisahan sing makaduha sa isa ka bulan. Wala ginatugot sa bisan kay sin-o ang magtago kag magdala-dala sang Balaan nga Eukaristiya sa iya lamang kaugalingon nga kagustohan luwas lamang kon kinahanglanon gid ini kag nasunod ang mga ginapatuman sang Obispo tuhoy diri. Kon may madamo nga mga kapilya sa isa ka balay sang mga relihiyoso kag iban pa nga mga balay kasubong sini, ang Balaan nga Eukaristiya dapat taguon sa isa lamang ka kapilya, kag sa kinaandan amo ini ang mayor nga kapilya. Ang kinaandan nga ginataguan sang Balaan nga Eukaristiya amo ang tabernakulo, kag ini nga tabernakulo nahimo sa isa ka materyal nga solido kag mapag-on nga naangot sa isa ka lugar sa bagay nga indi ini mahapos makuha ukon mahalin. Ginatago man sa tabernakulo

    ang kopon sa diin nahamtang ang mga ostiyas nga nakonsagrahan para sa pagkalawat sang mga tumoluo kag tipigan gid nga ini nga mga ostiyas nga nakonsagrahan indi mapahamtang sa peligro nga madunot ukon makaon sang mga sapat-sapat. Isa ka suga ukon lampara nga padayon nga nagasindi ang tanda nga sa sina nga tabernakulo ara ang hamili nga presensya ni Kristo.

    Ang labing mataas nga pagsimba sa presensya sang Ginuo sa tabernakulo amo ang pagduaw kag pagpangamuyo sa atubang sini, kag sa mga dalagku nga piesta, halimbawa sa piesta sang Corpus Christi ginabuksan ang tabernakulo kag ginhiwat ang eksposisyon kag bendisyon sang Santisimo.

    *****Sa Mierkoles, Febrero 18, magasugod na

    ang panahon sang Kwaresma. Tion ini sang paglaum kag indi sang kasubo. Ginaagda kita sang Dios nga magpalapit pa gid sa iya paagi sa pangamuyo, pagpuasa kag mga buhat sang kaluoy kag sa pagbalik sa iya paagi sa Sakramento sang Pagkompesar. Kinahanglan naton ang panahon sang kwaresma tungod kay tanan kita naga-eksperyensya sang kabug-at sang sala kag nagapangita kita sing kapatawaran kag pag-ayo.

    Sa panahon sang kwaresma, nagapanglakaton kita pakadto sa Kalbaryo, pero ini nga pagpanglakaton nagalab-ot sa Pagkabanhaw kag bugana nga kabuhi. Si Jesus nagkari sa pagluwas sa aton kag sa paghatag sa aton sang matuod nga kahilwayan. Sia nagkari sa pagtudlo sa aton nga ang aton kabuhi may kahulogan, nga ginahigugma kita sang Dios, walay sapayan sang aton mga sala. Sia nagkari sa pagpahibalo sa aton nga ang pag-antus may iya nga katuyoan, nga ang tagsa ka tawo may dignidad kag ang kamatayon indi amo ang aton katapusan.

    Maghinulsol kag magtuo sa Ebanghelyo. Amo ini ang ginsiling ni Jesus kag amo man ini ang iya ginasiling sa aton sa sining mga inadlaw antes mag-abot ang Mierkoles sang Badlis. Amo ini ang pangagda sang Kwaresma. Pamatian naton ang Ginuo!

    Ang Mga Halad sa Misa kag ang mga Donasyon sa Pagpamisa

    Sa kinaandan ang kwarta nga ginahatag sa pagpamisa ginatawag nga Stipendio. Ugaling ang tinaga nga stipendio ginagamit man sa bayad nga ginahatag tungod sang trabaho nga nahimo. Gani, agud matipigan ang kamatuoran nga ang Misa wala ginabakal kag wala man ginabayaran, mas maayo nga gamiton ang tinaga nga donasyon.

    Suno sa naaprobahan nga kostumbre sang Simbahan, ang pari nga nagamisa ginatugotan sa pagbaton sang donasyon agud nga iya i-aplikar ang Misa para sa intensyon sang taghatag. Pero sarang man gihapon kag dapat nga magmisa ang pari bisan pa nga wala sing may donasyon nga ginahatag. Kadamo sang mga intensyon nga sarang mamisahan ang pari para sa intensyon sang bug-os nga Simbahan ilabi na gid ang mga may kinahanglan sini ukon para sa iya kaugalingon nga intensyon. Pero maayo gid nga ipahanumdom sa tumoluo nga kon nagahatag sang donasyon agud i-aplikar ang Misa para sa iya intensyon, sia nagabulig man para sa kaayohan sang Simbahan kag nagapakig-ambit sa iya sini pagkabalaka para sa suporta sang mga kaparian. Tandaan lamang nga wala ginapahanugotan ang pagnegosyo sang Misa; sa baylo, may natalana nga penalidad ang naganegosyo sang Misa.

    Kon ang isa ka pari nakabaton sang donasyon agud iya ihalad ang Misa para sa intensyon sang taghatag, may katungdanan sia sa paghalad sina nga Misa para sa sina lang nga intensyon, ano man kadaku ukon ka diutay sang donasyon nga ginhatag. Wala ginatugot nga magbaton pa gid sia sing donasyon halin sa iban pa gid nga tumoluo kag isa lamang ka misa ang iya ihalad. Kon sa aton pa, isa ka paglapas sa pagsulondan ang magtipon sing mga donasyon halin sa lainlain nga mga nagapamisa kag isa lang ka Misa ang iya selebrahon. Dugang pa, ginatugot sa pari ang magbaton sing isa lamang ka donasyon para sa Misa sa isa ka adlaw. Kon may mga sitwasyon sa diin dapat sia magmisa sing ikaduha ukon ikatlo suno sa naaprobahan nga pagsulondan,

    Place (Retreat House) nga ginadumalahan sang mga Religious of the Assumption Sisters. Sang tuig 2006-2007, nagtudlo ako sa sina nga eskwelahan kag didto ako sa retreat house nagakaon kag nagabulig man sa mga ulobrahon kon wala ako klase. Naghiwat kami sang diutay nga reunion sang akon mga estudyante nga akon ginatudluan sang Christian Living Education sang una. Nagkadto kami sa La Presa kag nagpanyapon sa SM City. Of course, indi kompleto ang akon pagkadto sa Baguio kon wala ako nakakadto sa

    We trust that you will be more generous so that we can cope up with our deficit as soon as possible. God bless us all!

    kapiestahan sang Birhen sang Lourdes, Ginsaulog

    40May isa ka aruon nga nagpalapit kay Jesus, nagluhod sa iya atubangan kag nagpangayo sing bulig. Siling niya: Kon gusto mo, sarang mo ako maayo.41Si Jesus nagbatyag sing daku nga kaluoy, nagdab-ot sa iya, kag gintandog sia. Nagsabat sia sa iya, Gusto ko! Mag-ayo ka! 43Sa gilayon wala na ang iya aro kag nagtinlo ang iya panit. 43Ginpaandaman gid sia dayon ni Jesus kag ginpalakat gilayon. Siling ni Jesus, 44Tanda-i, indi mo ini pag-isugid bisan kay sin-o kundi magkadto ka sa pari kag magpatan-aw ka sa iya. Magdulot ka dayon sing halad suno sa sugo ni Moises, sa pagpamatuod sa tanan nga ikaw nag-ayo na.

    Ginsaulog ang Kapiestahan ni Birhen Maria sa iya titulo nga Birhen sang Lourdes sang nagligad nga Pebrero 11, 2015. Sang alas 5:30 sa aga, ginhiwat ang kinaandan nga Misa sa Grotto sang Lourdes sa St. Elizabeth of Hungary Kinder School, Jaro Cathedral Compound. Ini ginpanguluhan ni Fr. Randy Doromal. Pagkahapon, sa takna nga 5:30, ginselebrar ang Misa ni Msgr. Higinio C. Velarde Jr., Kura Paroko. Ginsundan ini sang Prosesyon palibot sa plaza sang Jaro sang alas 6:00 sa gab-i kag Eucharistic Healing sa sulod sang Katedral sa pagpamuno nanday Fr. Randy Doromal kag Msgr. Alejandro Esperancilla.

    Sa kinaandan, madamo ang nagtambong sa mga Misa sa sini nga adlaw. Madamo man ang mga deboto nga nag-upod sa prosesyon kag Eucharistic Healing. Ginapasalamatan gid sang parokya ang tanan nga mga deboto nga padayon nga nagapakigbahin sa sini nga hilikuton liturhika, ang mga tanod kag pulis nga nagpatigayon sang katawhay sang palibot, kag ang Jaen Family nga tuigan nga nagapreparar sang imahen sang Lourdes sa procession.O Birhen Maria, ig-ampo mo kami!

    45Pero naglakat ang tawo kag ginpanugid niya ang pag-ayo sa iya bisan diin sia magkadto. Madamo gid ang iya ginsugiran, sa bagay nga si Jesus indi na makasulod sing dayon sa bisan Nagapaabot man bala kita kasubong sadtong aruon nga sa gilayon gin-ayo ni Jesus? Nagapaabot

    bala kita nga kon may balatian kag magpalapit kag magluhod sa atubang ni Ginoong Jesus magaayo gilayon? Indi pa bala tuman ang daku nga pag-ayo Niya sa aton sa kasal-anan? Amo ini ang pinakadaku kag pinakaimportante - ang pag-ayo Niya sa aton. Gani magsalig kita sa Iya kay sa Iya mabatyagan naton kon ano ang maayo kag husto para sa aton.Yadtong aruon nga gin-ayo Niya, ngaa ginmanduan Niya ini nga indi magpanugid sa iban sang ginhimo ni Ginoong Jesus nga pag-ayo sa iya. Apang wala ini gintuman sang aruon kag iya pa gani ginbantala sa iban, sa bagay nga indi na makakadto si Ginoong Jesus sa iban nga lugar kay nabalahuba na nga Sia nagapamulong.Sang sadto nga tiempo ang ginapaabot sang mga tawo amo ang Mesias nga may tatlo ka characteristics: Una, ang sa dagway sang hari katulad ni Moses nga ginhatagan sang Dios sang tanan nila nga kinahanglanon; ikaduha, ni David nga maisog, madamo

    sing hangaway; kag ikatlo, ni Solomon nga hari nga madamo sing manggad. Wala nila mahangpi sing maayo kon ano ang pagbuot sang Amay sa Iya ginapadala nga Mesias. Ang sa kay Ginoong Jesus naman luyag Niya makilala Sia sang mga tawo sa husto nga tion. Ang igsakto nga tion sang pagpalapnag sang Maayong Balita nahanungod sa Iya, amo ang sa tapos Sia mahukman nga mapatay sa Krus kag mabanhaw, kay kon wala si Jesus mabanhaw wala sing pulos ang aton pagtuo. Amo ini ang matuod-tuod nga katuyoant sang Amay sa pagpadala sang Mesias sa pagtubos sang katawhan sa sala. Mahapos ang magsiling nga maghinulsol na ako sining tion sang kwaresma, magbag-o na ako kag indi na magpakasala liwat. Apang mabudlay ang magtuman kay mas attractive ang kalibutan sang sa ginapaabot nga walay katapusan nga katuyuan ang Ginharian sang Dios.Sa sining tion sang Kwaresma, isa ka daku nga panghangkat sa aton ang magmangin matutom ukon magmangin masinaligon nga

    Lourdes Grotto kag sa Mirador Hills kon sa diin ako nagretreat sang ginhiwat ko ang akon 25th Birthday sang sadto nga tion. Nakakitaay man kami sang iban ko nga mga co-teachers sang una kag kanami gid sang amon istoryahanay. Daw wala man gap sa tunga ko kag sang mga staff and personnel sang Assumption Sabbath Place. Wala gid nila ako gintugutan nga maglakat kon wala ako kapanyaga upod sa ila. Basta kanami lang sa pamatygan nga nakabisita kag nakabonding ako sa akon mga kaupdanan sang ako nagtener sa Baguio. Masiling ko nga wala ako naghinulsol nga nag-regency ako sang una kay nangin mabinungahon gid sang akon eksperyensiya. Wala lamang ako nakakadto sa sinang matahum nga lugar kundi nakaganar pa ako sang maayo kag sinsero nga mga abyan kag utod.

    Pagkatapos sang duha ka adlaw sa Baguio, nagkadto ako sa Tagaytay para sa retreat sang

    mga intern priests sang Focolare. Mga 19 kami nga mga pari ang nagretreat gikan sa nanarisari nga lugar diri sa aton pungsod. Katahum sang amon retreat kay ini nahanungod sa Eukaristiya. Ginatudlo ni Chiara Lubich nga ang katuyuan sang Eukaristiya amo ang pagpasantos sa aton kag bilang napabalaan sang Eukaristiya, kita amo ang Lawas ni Kristo - ang isa ka Simbahan sang Dios. Madamo man ang mga tinion nga kami nagpaambit sang amon nga inagihan sa kabuhi ilabi na gid sa amon pagkapari. Amon narealizar nga importante gid nga we keep the presence of Jesus in our midst because it is the only way that we can move forward.

    Karon, ano bala ang kaangtanan sang akon ginpaambit sa aton kabuhi bilang Simbahan, ilabi na gid bilang parokya? Sa aton pag-alagad sa Dios kag sa aton isigkatawo, maayo man nga nagatuon man kita magpahuway. Paagi sa pagpahuway, ginahatagan kita sang Ginoo sang bag-o nga kusog kag kabakod agud nga sa aton pag-atubang liwat

    sang aton mga responsibilidad, we become more passionate, zealous and committed. Subong man, paagi sa pagbakasyon, we gain new perspective and we also learn a lot of lessons from the people we met and our experiences.Nahanungod naman sa Eukaristiya, maayo man nga pamangkuton naton ang aton kaugalingon, sa akon adlaw-adlaw ukon kada Domingo nga pagsimba, nangin balaan bala ako? Ano bala ang pagbag-o nga dulot sang Eukaristiya? Nangin mas maayo bala ako nga tawo? Nangin katulad bala ako ni Kristo?Salamat gid sa pagtugot ninyo sa akon nga magpaambit sang akon inagihan sang nagliligad nga mga inadlaw.

    Subong nga nagbalik na ako diri sa aton parokya, kabay pa nga ang mga bunga sang akon pagbakasyon upod sa Ginoo makit-an paagi sa akon balaan nga pagkabuhi bilang pari - pari nga mapinasensiyahon, simple, mabinuligon, mapisan, matutom kag ilabi sa tanan, mapinangamuyuon.

    Pope Francis Lenten Message 2015abridged by Armando A. Sue

    Make your hearts FirmDear Brothers and Sisters,Lent is a time of renewal for the whole Church, for each communities and every believer. Above all it is a time of grace (2 Cor 6:2). God does not ask of us anything that he himself has not first given us. We love because he first has loved us (1 Jn 4:19). He is not aloof from us. Each one of us has a place in his heart. He knows us by name, he cares for us and he seeks us out whenever we turn away from him. He is interested in each of us; his love does not allow him to be indifferent to what happens to us. Usually, when we are healthy and comfortable, we forget about others (something God the Father never does): we are unconcerned with their problems, their sufferings and the injustices they endure Our heart grows cold. As long as I am relatively healthy and comfortable, I dont think about those less well off. Today, this selfish attitude of indifference has taken on global proportions, to the extent that we can speak of a globalization of indifference. It is a problem which we, as Christians, need to confront.When the people of God are converted to his love, they find answers to the questions that history continually raises. One of the most urgent challenges which I would like to address in this Message is precisely the globalization of indifference.

    Indifference to our neighbor and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.God is not indifferent to our world; he so loves it that he gave his Son for our salvation. In the Incarnation, in the earthly life, death, and resurrection of the Son of God, the gate between God and man, between heaven and earth, opens once for

    all. The Church is like the hand holding open this gate, thanks to her proclamation of Gods word, her celebration of the sacraments and her witness of the faith which works through love (cf. Gal 5:6). But the world tends to withdraw into itself and shut that door through which God comes into the world and the world comes to him. Hence the hand, which is the Church, must never be surprised if it is rejected, crushed and wounded.Gods people, then, need this interior renewal, lest we become indifferent and withdraw into ourselves. To further this renewal, I would like to propose for our reflection three biblical texts.

    1. If one member suffers, all suffer together (1 Cor 12:26) The Church

    The love of God breaks through that fatal withdrawal into ourselves which is indifference. The Church offers us this love of God by her teaching and especially by her witness. But we can only bear witness to what we ourselves have experienced. Christians are those who let God clothe them with goodness and mercy, with Christ, so as to become, like Christ, servants of God and others. This is clearly seen in the liturgy of Holy Thursday, with its rite of the washing of feet. Peter did not want Jesus to wash his feet, but he came to realize that Jesus

    Apostolate of OFW Families 3rd Year Anniversary

    What is ash Wednesday?Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. This year, Ash Wednesday will fall on February 18.

    Obsevances include: repentance, reflection, fasting, abstinence and good works which prepare us for Christs Resurrection on Easter Sunday. By being faithful to Christ we hope for His mercy and redemption.Why do we receive the ashes?Following the example of the Ninevites, of the Old Testament who did penance by wearing sackcloth and rubbing on ashes, the priest marks our foreheads with ashes to remind us of our mortality and to instill in us humility. We remember this when we are told by the priest or minister one of the following:

    Remember, you are dust, and to dust you will return.

    Repent, and believe in the Gospel. (Mark 1:15)Ashes signify repentance made sacramental by the blessing of the Church.

    Through marking or putting of ashes a spirit of humility and sacrifice is developed in us.The imposition of ashes comes from an old tradition of the early Church. Christians who had committed grave faults performed public penance. On Ash Wednesday, the Bishop blessed the hair shirts which they were to wear during the forty days of penance, and sprinkled over them ashes made from the palms from the previous year. Then while the faithful recited the Seven Penitential Psalms, the penitents were driven out of the church because of their sins just like Adam, the first man, who was driven out of Paradise because of his disobedience. During that time the penitents did not enter the church again until Maundy Thursday after having won reconciliation by the toil of forty days penance and sacramental absolution. Later, all Christians, whether public or secret penitents came to receive ashes out of devotion. In earlier times, the distribution of ashes was followed by a penitential procession. Examples of this is found in the Bible: I turned to the Lord God, pleading in earnest prayer, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. (Daniel 9:3)

    O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, roll in the ashes (Jeremiah 6:26)

    The ashesThe ashes are made from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday celebration of the previous year. The ashes are sanctified with holy water and are scented by exposure to incense and mixed with sacred oils (holy oil used to anoint those about to be baptized). This paste is used by the priest or the minister who presides at the service to make the Sign of the Cross, first upon his or her own forehead and then on those of the congregation. While the ashes symbolize penance and contrition, they are also a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts. His Divine mercy is of utmost importance during the season of lent, and the Church calls on us to seek that mercy during the entire season through reflection, prayer, penance and good deeds.

    Joenick S. Territorio at La Isabelita Hall, Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral Compound. does not wish to be just an example of how we should wash one anothers feet. Only those who have first allowed Jesus to wash their own feet can then offer this service to others. Only they

    have a part with him (Jn 13:8) and thus can serve others.Lent is a time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like him. This happens whenever we hear the word of God and receive the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. There we become what we receive: the Body of Christ. In this body there is no room for the indifference which so often seems to possess our hearts. For whoever is of Christ, belongs to one body, and in him we cannot be indifferent to one another. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy (1 Cor 12:26).The Church is the communio sanctorum not only because of her saints, but also because she is a communion in holy things: the love of God revealed to us in Christ and all his gifts. In this communion of saints, in this sharing in holy things, no one possesses anything alone, but shares everything with others. And, we can do something for those who are far distant; because with them and for them, we ask God that all of us may be open to his plan of salvation.

  • CANDLE LIGHT (February 15 - 21, 2015) 98 CANDLE LIGHT (February 15 - 21, 2015)

    The Flame that Never DiesOur beloved Lady of Candles is not only the Patroness of Jaro, but of the whole Western Visayas. The flaming love in her heart extends from the farthest barrios to the biggest cities from the lofty mountains to the lowest lands. She is the brilliant Light that shines even during the storms and her candle never flickers even though the winds are strong and the rain is heavy. She watches over us at all times especially if we are physically and spiritually weak. If we are in a tight situation, and we do not know where to turn, we only have to call on her name, we only have to raise our eyes and pray for her aid. During these times when temptations abound and there are many hindrances to peaceful living, we need to invoke our

    Pureza D. LacuestaOur vision of the Church as communion, participation, and mission, about the Church as a priestly, prophetic and kingly people and as a Church of the poor - a Church that is renewed - is today finding expression in one ecclesial movement. This is the movement to foster Basic Ecclesial Communities (PCP II #137). Gani ang una naton nga himuon, kon seryoso gid kita sa pagbalay sang SIMBAHAN SANG MGA KUBOS sa sining TUIG SANG MGA KUBOS amo ang seryoso nga pagtinguha nga matagaan kabuhi ang pagbalay sang mga BEC ukon sang mga Magagmay nga mga Kristiyanong Katilingban. Kon seryoso ang pagtinguha nga mabalay ang mga BEC sa mga parokya amat-amat naton nga matagaan sang konkreto nga dagway ang 11 ka punto sang PCP II nahanungod sa SIMBAHAN SANG MGA KUBOS.

    Sa konteksto man sang pagbalay sang mga BEC matagaan naton sang konkreto nga dagway ang kamatuoran nahanungod sa SOLIDARITY.

    A firm and persevering determination tocommit oneself to the common good; that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all, (SRS #38) amo ini ang depinisyon sang Catholic Social Teaching nahanungod sa SOLIDARITY. Sa simple nga paghangop, ang buot niya silingon, dapat komitido ang tagsa-tagsa sa aton sa pagpatigayon sang ka-ayuhan sang tanan kag sang kada isa. Samtang nagahandum kita sang aton ka-ayuhan, wala naton ginalipatan ang ka-ayuhan sang iban. Ginalaragway ini sa matahum nga paagi sining duha ka hulobaton sa Tagalog: kung hindi maibahagi ang sariling kulambo, makibahagi ka sa kagat ng lamok; kung hindi maibahagi sang sariling payong, makibahagi ka sa patak ng ulan. Ikaduha ini nga pwede naton mahimo sa TUIG SANG MGA KUBOS.

    Sa mas espisipiko nga mga proyekto, ang grupo sang PSAM (Parish Social Action Ministry)

    naghan-ay kada bulan, pero pwede man mahimo bisan indi santo sa natalana nga bulan, sang mga masunod nga mga konkreto nga programa: botika sa parokya; gift giving; free legal clinic and assistance; visitation to the sick, elderly and prisoners; Alay Kapwa; scholarship and environment program; farmers day and NFA rice retailing; blood-letting; feeding program; medical/dental mission; livelihood; tree planting and adopt a tree program. Pwede man naton matagaan sang pagtalupangod ang Project SHEEF sang Jaro Archdiocesan Social Center (JASAC). Ang buot silingon sang SHEEF: SHELTER, HEALTH, EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, FOOD.

    SHELTER: May problema ang bug-os nga kalibutan nahanungod sa puluy-an kag ginsambit na ina sang Dokumento Solicitudo Rei Socialis #17. Diri sa Iloilo, damo wala puluy-an kag upod dira ang madamo naton nga mga church workers. Gani ginsuguran naton ang project shelter. Ginsuguran naton ini nga proyekto paagi sa pagpatindog sang mga balay para sa aton mga Church

    workers. Katuwang naton sa sini nga proyekto ang Gawad Kalinga. Subong may 77 ka pamilya sang mga Church workers nga may kaugalingon na nga balay sa Jubilee Gawad Kalinga Village sa Buntatala, Jaro, Iloilo City. Sa sining TUIG SANG MGA KUBOS ginahandum naton nga makapatindog sang 1000 pa gid ka mga balay para sa mga survivors sang Yolanda. Ini nga mga balay patindugon naton sa parokya sang Ajuy; San Dionisio; Bingawan; Salngan, Passi; kag Sto. Tomas, Passi. Samtang ginasulat ko ini nakapatindog na kita sang 722 ka mga balay on site sa nahinambitan nga mga parokya. Partikular sa Ajuy, katuwang naton diri ang LGU sang Ajuy kag nagahandum kita nga ma-replicate ang aton ginhimo sa Jubilee Gawad Kalinga Village, gani nagbakal kita sang 1.6 ektarya nga duta para sa relocation area sang mga survivors nga wala gid duta kag indi pagpahanugutan sang mga may duta nga makapatindog liwat. Plano naton nga makapatindog sang 130 ka mga balay sa sining relocation area kag nakasugod na kita patindog sang mga 8 ka duplex houses.

    aNo aNG PaNGhaNGkaT sa aToN saNG TUIG saNG MGa kUBos?(Tuig sang Kubos Part IV)Msgr. Meliton Oso Blessed Mother to help us avoid the road to moral destruction. We must do our best

    to pray the Holy Rosary every day. Praying the five mysteries does wonders. Every morning, I take hold of my Rosary beads and pray the Rosary with an intention for every decade. I get beautiful results and makes the day another bead in my chain of thanksgiving.I have gathered beautiful fruits through my daily Rosary. One time, I woke up to see the sky covered with dark clouds the trees swaying, its leaves falling to the ground, be-cause of strong winds. Soon, the noise of big drops of rain falling heavily announced the brewing of a storm. I immediately took hold of my Holy Rosary beads faced the Icon of God the Father, and prayed: Fa-ther, we are your children and You love us, dont you? If this storm will not stop, many people, especially the poor, who are resting on the sidewalk, the children who are in school, and those who are working in the open, will probably get sick. Father God through the mysteries of the holy rosary which I will pray, and through the interces-sion of Mama Mary, who carries the Infant Jesus in her arms and raises with her hand, the Candle of unflickering Light, please have mercy on us and let the storm stop.

    I prayed not only five mysteries, but fif-teen. Wonder of wonders! About twenty

    how Can We obtain healing?God has created within every man and woman the desire to form lasting, loving, and meaningful relationships with those around them, writes Rutherford. So, in order to nurture healthy relationships in the future, how does one obtain healing for a heart that has been broken by hurts from the past? The answer is found in the book of James, which has been called the most practical book of the Bible. If you were to imagine that the book of James were a smartphone application, Rutherford says there would be four important steps to downloading Gods app to restore a broken heart:

    1. surrender to the proper authorityGod is the Creator of the universe. The Bible says He heals, restores, and gives life even to relationships that seem dead and hopeless. The devil, on the other hand, aims to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). In every decision you make, you are either submitting to God or to the devil. James 4:7 says, Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. How do you submit to God? By obeying His word, the Bible. Make a commitment to read the Bible every single day, even if its just one chapter. Pray and ask God to help you to obey Him.

    2. Confess and let goJames 4:8 says, Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Take an honest assessment of your heart and what role you may have had in the demise of a certain relationship. First John 1:8-9 says, If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. When you confess your sin to God and ask Him for forgiveness, you are able to forgive others and let go of resentment and bitterness you may be harboring within your heart.

    3. Dont slanderWhenever we are hurt, it is very tempting to complain to anyone who will listen about the person we feel has wronged us. James 4:11 admonishes us not to engage in this kind of slanderous speech. Jesus Christ suffered the cruelest injustice in all of history His undeserved death on a Roman cross but He did not protest or slander His accusers. Instead, He said, Father, forgive them (Luke 23:34). Let us follow Jesus humble example.4. Give grace instead of judgmentWhen others fall short of your expectations, choose to show them grace, which is defined as mercy, favor, and pardon. Jesus showed you and I grace rather than judgment when He died to pay the penalty for our sins. He says in Matthew 7:1-2: Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with measure you use, it will be measured to you. Trust the Lord to examine the heart and motives of those who may have hurt you, and leave all judgment to Him. You will find that letting go of this responsibility is tremendously liberating, and it will allow God to fully heal and restore your heart.

    minutes after my prayer, the wind and the rain became lesser and continued to sub-side. Soon the storm stopped. Due to that beautiful experience, I continued my fifteen mysteries twice daily; one in the morning, and another, in the afternoon.Since I have to stay home most of the time due to my age 87 years old, I spend most of my time lifting my voice to God in prayer. I am thankful that even in my wan-ing years my mind is still functioning well. My livelihood now is writing pieces, decla-mation, oration, poems and others. I have no vitamins. My maintenance is prayer. I am thankful that my parents made me take my High School Education and Junior nor-mal course, at the Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepcion in Pototan, under the manage-ment of the Hijas de Jesus. The Spanish Mothers required the praying of the Holy Rosary daily and other devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary. They did not educate us only intellectually, but, spiritually at most.Try praying much. Even if we are busy doing something else, give God our time and ask Mother Marys support. It would make us feel nearer to God the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and our Blessed Mother, who are there always present for us. Let us keep the light of Mama Marys Candle burning in your heart.
