</h1>
<div class="content">
MANILA, July 12, 2012— The Catholic hierarchy
has released the official hymn for the “New Evangelization” as the
Church embarked on a nine-year spiritual journey that culminates with
the great jubilee on 2021.<br /><br />
The song titled “Live Christ, Share the Eucharist”, was introduced to
the members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines
during their recent plenary meeting in Manila last Saturday. <br /><br />

wrote the song’s lyrics while master musician Ryan Cayabyab composed the
music.<br /><br />
The country’s 86 dioceses and archdioceses have adopted the hymn,
which will be the marching song for the celebration of the 500th year of
Christianity in the Philippines on March 16, 2021.<br /><br />
Archbishop Villegas has previously written songs about the Our Lady of EDSA and about the late Jaime Cardinal Sin.<br /><br />
The CBCP has earlier released its new pastoral letter on the new
evangelization, which is also titled “Live Christ, Share the Eucharist.”
<br /><br />
In the statement, the bishops committed themselves to evangelize the
country again to win back Filipinos who have broken away and joined
other churches.<br /><br />
They said that the journey toward 2021 is an opportunity for the
Church and its clergy to reflect on their failures and how they could
draw back people to the Catholic fold. [RL/CBCPNews] <br />

Pedro Calungsod Nasa Kamay Na Ni Benedict XVI!<img alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" border="0" src="http://i51.tinypic.com/radb9g.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 5px;" width="180" />Inendorso na sa Santo Papa Benedict XVI ang kanonisasyon ng Pinoy martir na si Beato Pedro Calungsod, ito ay makaraang buong-buong pagtibayin ng Congregation for the Causes of Saints, isang lupon na binubuo ng mga kardinal na siyang nangangasiwa sa pag-aaral at pagsusuri sa mga inihahalal na santo.<br />
<br />
Tanging ang pag-aproba na lamang ng Santo Papa ang hinihintay at magkakaroon na ng ikalawang santo ang Pilpinas, kasunod ni San Lorenzo Ruiz. Ang desisyon ni Benedict ay ibabatay kung may naganap na himala sa pamamagitan ni Calungsod. Ito ay inaasahang ihahayag sa isang Misa sa St. Peter Square sa Vatican, kung saan ilalabas ang Bull Of Canonization, ang dokumentong nagpapatibay na siya ay karapatdapat sa pagkilala.<br />
<br />
Maliit lamang ang kaalaman tungkol sa buhay ni Pedro at sa katunayan hindi pa rin matukoy ang tunay na pinagmulan niya - maaaring Cebu, Bohol, o Iloilo. Ngunit, batay sa mga kasulatan, si Pedro ay nag-aral sa Loboc, Bohol kasama ang iba pang kabataan ng Katekismo, Espanyol, at Latin sa pamamahala ng mga Heswita. noong Abril 2, 1672, isinama ni Padre Diego si Pedro, bilang pinagkakatiwalaan niya at pinakamagaling na sakristan, upang binyagan ang mga bagong silang na sanggol sa Agadna. Ngunit sa daan nakaalitan nila si Matapang, isang katutubong naimpluwensiyahan ng mga Macanjas (mga mangkukulam) na kumokontra sa mga Kristiyano. Kapapanganak lamang ng asawa niya at inalok siyang binyagan ang anak nila ngunit tumanggi ito at itinaboy ang pari’t sakristan. Pinalipas na lang muna nina Padre Diego ang galit niya.<br />
<br />
Subalit hindi si Matapang. Gumawa siya ng plano upang mapatay ang dalawa. Hinikayat niya si Hirao, na noong una ay tumanggi dahil sa kabaitang ipinakita ng pari sa kanya, ngunit sa huli ay umayon din kay Matapang.<br />
<br />
Dumating sina Matapang sa lugar nina Pedro at bigla silang inatake. Umilag si Pedro sa mga panang papalapit sa kanya. Sinubukan ni Pedro na lumapit sa pari upang maprotektahan ngunit isang pana ang tumusok sa dibdib niya. Hindi na nagawang protektahan ng pari si Pedro. Biniyak ng dalawang katutubo ang mga bungo ng dalawa at itinapon lamang sila sa dagat. <i>( Mike Alcantara with Mark Rodney Vertido ) </i><br />

" border="0"/>Catholic Filipinos from across Nottingham flocked to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour on 28 May 2011 to attend Mass. This event was organised by the Filipino Rosary Crusade-Nottingham North (FRC). Pietro Albano, FRC Coordinator, read the Introduction before the Mass where he particularly welcomed kababayans especially Fr. Mariano Tarrosa, former Chaplain of the Filipino Chaplaincy in East Midlands, who concelebrated the Mass with Fr. Gerry Murphy, Parish Priest. Fr. Gerry welcomed all Filipinos and appreciated their participation.<br />
<br />
<img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i53.tinypic.com/t5ltzb.jpg " border="0"/>A number of other Filipinos performed various roles in the liturgy: Digna Briones and Jean Amamio proclaimed the First and Second readings respectively while Ronald Abrera read the Prayer of the Faithful. Dianne and Jason Sulit, representing their family, were the offerors. Myrna Agana, Jude Amamio, Chris Provida, and Juliet Talanay served as collectors.<br />
<br />
<img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i55.tinypic.com/rk3n6u.jpg" border="0"/>Right after the Mass, Fr. Mariano led devotees in praying the Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. In his short talk, he encouraged Filipinos to continue being united and having that time for God. <img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i53.tinypic.com/2b2j9s.jpg" border="0"/>He said that by doing so, they would become good examples for their children. He also proposed that, even with a priest, they would gather regularly to pray the novena in church which contains “the lovely image of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour”. To conclude the service, Jona Estioso and Dianne Sulit led devotees in the floral offering as part of the Flores de Mayo tradition of Pinoys.<br />
<br />
A salu-salo (shared table) was held at the Parish’s McGuinness Centre. This was coordinated by Meng Sulit and Precy Lagman. A presentation followed where the FRC sang “Diyos ay Pag-ibig” in honor of Fr. Mariano. In response, expressed his gratitude and enjoyment being with Pinoys in Bulwell. He picked up a few lines from the song that was sung (“At kung tayo’y bigo ay huwag limutin na may Diyos tayong nagmamahal.”; And if we fail, let us not forget that we have a God who loves.) and admitted that he could relate with these, considering the difficulties that has hindered him from continuing his ministry as chaplain. <img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i52.tinypic.com/2yoq4j8.jpg" border="0"/>Yet he recalls that even Jesus was a failure, being reviled and crucified in spite of His good works. He asked everyone to continue praying for him and, at the same time, gave assurance that should he be able to stay further in the UK, he will carry on reaching out to Filipino communities. <i>(Photos courtesy of Ronald Abrera and Pietro Albano)</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-80654915669364722582011-04-03T20:06:00.000-07:002011-04-04T03:15:08.724-07:00May Bagong Pastol Ang Gagalangin!<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted April 4, 2011, 11:00AM, Manila</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />

<br />
<b>Aming mga kapatid na Pilipino,</b><br />
<br />
<img alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" border="0" src="http://i51.tinypic.com/a3yq1x.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" /> <b>Pinahahalagahan ng Estado ang dangal ng bawa’t tao at tinataguyod ang ganap na paggalang sa karapatang pantao (Art II, Seksyon 11). Kinikilala ng Estado ang kabanalan ng buhay pampamilya at ipagtatanggol at palalakasin ang pamilya bilang isang batayang institusyong panlipunan na may karapatang itaguyod ang sarili. Ipagsasanggalang din nito ang buhay ng ina at ang buhay ng di pa isinisilang mula nang ito ay ipaglihi (Art II, Seksyon 12).</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Bakit itong Liham Pastoral?</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Nagsimula tayo sa paghalaw mula sa Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas. Ginawa namin ito dahil nilalayon naming gawin ang sulat na ito batay sa saligang pinahahalagahan at mga hangarin ng sambayanang Pilipino at hindi batay sa mga katuruan ng Simbahang Katoliko lamang.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Bilang isang bansa tayo ay nasa sangandaan. Hinaharap natin ang ilang bersyon ng isang panukalang batas, ang Reproductive Health Bill o ang pinagandang Responsible Parenthood Bill. Ang panukalang batas na ito, sa lahat ng bersyon, ay humahamon sa atin na gumawa ng isang pasyang moral: piliin ang buhay o piliin ang kamatayan.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sa pasimula, pinasasalamatan namin ang pamahalaan sa pagkakaloob ng pagkakataon na ipahayag ang aming mga pananaw sa isang mahinahong talakayan. Subali’t lumabas sa aming talakayan kung gaanong magkalayo ang aming mga paninindigan. Kaya nga, sa halip na magkaroon ng mga maling inaasahan, ibig naming liwanagin ngayon ang aming mga tinututulan at ang aming mga pinaninindigan.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Kapasyahang Moral sa Sangandaan – Sa EDSA I at Ngayon</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Dalawampu’t limang taon na ang nakararaan (1986) gumawa kaming mga Obispong Katoliko ng isang moral na paghatol tungkol sa pamunuan sa politika. Sa pamamagitan ng pahayag na iyon, naniniwala kaming nakatulong kami sa isang makabuluhang paraan na pagbibigay daan sa EDSA I at wastong pamumuno sa politika.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ngayon nasa isang bagong sangandaan tayo sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa. At kailangan nating gumawa ngyayon ng kahalintulad na pagpapasyang moral. Pinukaw ng ating Pangulo ang bansa sa kanyang sigaw noong halalan, “Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap.” Bilang mga namumuno sa larangan ng relihiyon, naniniwala kaming may higit na uri ng katiwalian, walang iba kundi ang katiwalian sa moralidad, na siyang tunay na ugat ng lahat ng katiwalian. Sa hinaharap nating usapin, isang katiwaliang moral ang ipagwalambahala ang mga kinalamang moral ng RH Bill.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ito ang aming nagkakaisang paghatol na moral: Mariin naming tinututulan ang RH Bill.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sama-samang Pinahahalagahan sa ating Pagkatao at Kalinangan (Kultura) – Dalawang Batayang Paninindigan</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ang RH Bill ay hindi lamang isang usaping pang-Katoliko. Ito ay isang matinding paglapastangan sa mga tunay nating pinahahalagahan bilang mga tao at ng kulturang Pilipino tungkol sa buhay ng tao na ating itinangi sa mula’t mula pa.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sa tahasang paghahayag, hindi iginagalang ng RH Bill ang pananaw na moral na nasa puso ng mga kulturang Pilipino. Ang RH Bill ay bunga ng isang makamundo at materialistang diwa na tumatanaw sa moralidad bilang iba’t ibang katuruan na maaring pagpilian ayon sa takbo o kalakaran ng panahon. May tinatanggap at may ibang hindi tinatanggap. Malungkot na makita ang di namamalayang paglaganap ng diwang ito, na kalimita’y tinatawag na post-modern, sa ating sariling lipunang Pilipino.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ang aming paniniwala ay matatag na nakasalig sa dalawang pangunahing paninindigan na sama-samang tanggap ng lahat ng sumasampalataya sa Diyos:</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>1. Ang buhay ay ang pinaka-sagradong kaloob na pisikal na ibinibigay sa isang tao ng Diyos, ang Maylikha ng buhay. Ang paglalagay ng mga sagabal na artipisyal upang mahadlangan ang pagbuo at ang pasilang ng buhay ay maliwanag na lumalabag sa batayang katotohanang ito hinggil sa buhay ng tao. Sa harap ng paglaganap ng diwang post-modern sa ating daigdig, tinuturing namin ang paninindigan ito bilang pagpapahayag sa ngalan ng Diyos. Bilang mga namumuno sa larangan ng relihiyon, kailangan naming ipahayag ang katotohanang ito nang walang takot, napapanahon man o di napapanahon.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>2. Ang mga magulang, kaisa ng Diyos, ang siyang nagdadala ng mga anak sa mundo. Sila rin ang may pangunahin at di-maaagaw na karapatan at pananagutan na kalingain, pangalagaan at hubugin ang kanilang mga anak upang sila ay umunlad bilang mga tao ayon sa kalooban ng Maylikha.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ang Aming mga Tinututulan sa RH Bill</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sabi ng mga nagsusulong na pinangangalagaan ng RH Bill ang kalusugan kaugnay ng pagkakaroon ng anak (reproductive health). Hindi ito totoo. Hindi pinagsasanggalang ng RH Bill ang kalusugan ng sagradong buhay ng tao na binubuo o isinisilang. Pinahahayag na ng salitang “Kontraseptibo” ang pagiging labag sa buhay ng mga pamamaraang isinisulong ng RH Bill. Ang mga artipisyal na pamamaraang ito ay nakapipinsala sa buhay ng tao, dahil pinipigil nito ang pagsisimula ng buhay o tuwirang pinipinsala ito. Matagal nang alam ng mga dalubhasa sa agham na ang mga kontraseptibo ay maaring pagmulan ng kanser. Mapanganib ang mga kontraseptibo sa kalusugan ng mga babae.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sinasabi rin ng mga tagsulong ng RH Bill na mababawasan nito ang bilang ng aborsyon. Nguni’t maraming taga-suring siyentipiko ay nagtataka kung bakit ang malawakang paggamit ng kontraseptibo ay nagpapataas kung minsan ng bilang ng aborsyon. Sa totoo, nagbibigay ang kontraseptibo ng maling kasiguruhan na nag-aalis ng pagpigil sa gawaing sekswal. Binigyan pansin ng mga dalubhasa sa agham ang maraming bilang ng pagsablay ng mga kontraseptibo kaya’t bumabaling sa aborsyon, na itinuturing ng lahat ng relihiyon na kasalanan. Ang tinatawag na “ligtas na sex” upang bawasan ang bilang ng aborsyon ay isang huwad na</b><br />
<b>propaganda.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sinasabi rin ng mga tagasulong na pipigilan ng RH Bill ang paglaganap ng HIV/AIDS. Ito rin ay salungat sa maraming datos na siyentipiko. Sa ilang mga bansa kung saan laganap ang paggamit ng condom, patuloy na kumakalat ang HIV/AIDS. Nagbibigay ang mga condoms ng huwad na kasiguruhan na nagtutulak sa marami sa mga gawaing sekswal, na nagpaparami rin sa mga kaso ng HIV/AIDS. Ang tinatawag na “ligtas na sex” upang pigilin ang HIV/AIDS ay huwad na propaganda.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sinasabi rin ng mga tagasulong na ang RH Bill ay magbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa mga babae para sa pag-angkin sa sarili nilang katawan. Ito ay naayon sa diwang “post-modern” na naghahayag na ang mga babae ay makapangyayari sa sarili nilang katawan nang hindi napapailalim sa iniaatas ng anumang relihiyon. Nakalilinlang ang tinatawag na “bagong katotohanan” na ito. Sapagka’t ayon sa pagkalalang ng Diyos ibinigay sa atin ang ating mga katawan upang pangalagaan. Tayo ang mga tagapangasiwa ng ating ating sariling katawan at dapat nating sundin ang kalooban ng Diyos sa bagay na ito ayon sa isang hubog at wastong budhi. Ang ganitong budhi ay dapat nililiwanagan at ginagabayan ng mga katuruang panrelihiyon at moral na ibinibigay ng mga tradisyong panrelihiyon at kultural tungkol sa batayang dangal at halaga ng buhay ng tao.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Sinasabi rin ng mga tagasulong na kailangan ang RH Bill upang sugpuin ang labis ng pagdami ng mga tao at upang makalaya sa kahirapan. Ang tanggapang pang-istatistiko ng ating pamahalaan na rin ang nagpahayag na hindi labis ang bilang ng tao sa Pilipinas kundi nagsisiksikan ang mga tao sa maraming lunsod. Dapat din nating bigyan pansin ang mga bunga ng pag-aaral ng isang mahalagang grupo ng mga batikang dalubhasa sa ekonomiya, kabilang na rito ang mga kinilala ng Nobel sa larangan ng ekonomiya. Natuklasan nila na walang tuwirang ugnayan sa isa’t isa ang bilang ng tao at ang kahirapan. Sa katunayan maraming mga Pilipinong dalubhasa ang nagsaad na ang dami ng mga tao ay hindi dahilan ng ating kahirapan. Ang mga dahilan ng kahirapan ay mga maling pilosopiya ng pag-unlad, mga taliwas na polisiya sa ekonomiya, kasakiman, katiwalian, kawalan ng pagkakapantay sa lipunan, kakulangan ng pagkakataon sa edukasyon, mahinang serbisyong pangkabuhayan at panlipunan, di sapat na inprastruktura at iba pa. Ayon sa pagtantiya ng mga samahang pandaigdig mahigit na 400 bilyong piso ang nawawala taun-taon sa ating bansa dahil sa katiwalian. Maliwanag na masasabi: upang makaahon ang ating bansa sa kahirapan, kinakailangang harapin natin ang mga tunay na dahilan ng kahirapan at hindi ang bilang ng mga tao.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Dahil sa mga nabanggit, maliwanag naming ipinahahayag ang aming mga pagtutol:</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>1. Tinututulan namin ang pagbabalewala sa mga simulaing moral na siyang tunay na saligan ng batas, sa mga talakayan sa batasan ng mga panukalang nakalaan para sa kabutihan ng mga indibidwal at sa kapakanang pangmadla.</b><br />
<b>2. Laban kami sa kaisipang labag sa buhay, labag sa pagsilang at kontraseptibo na nakikita sa media at sa ilang mga isinusulong na panukalang pambatas.</b><br />
<b>3. Mariin naming tinututulan ang mga pagtatangkang pagpapalusot ng RH Bill.</b><br />
<b>4. Tinututulan namin ang pangkalahatang tinutungo ng RH Bill sa pagpigil ng pagdami ng mga tao.</b><br />
<b>5. Tinututulan namin ang paggamit ng pera ng bayan sa mga kontraseptibo at isterilisasyon.</b><br />
<b>6. Tinututulan namin ang sapilitang sex education na magtutulak sa mga magulang na talikdan ang kanilang pangunahing papel sa paghubog sa kanilang mga anak, lalung-lalo na sa larangan ng sekswalidad, na isang sagradong kaloob ng Diyos.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ang Aming Mga Pinaninindigan</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Hinggil sa mga iminumungkahing RH Bill, ito ang aming mga matitibay na paninindigan:</b><br />
<b>1. Kami ay labis na nagmamalasakit sa katatayuan ng maraming mga mahihirap, lalo na ang mga nagdurusang kababaihan na nagsusumikap upang gumanda ang buhay at kailangang mangibang-bayan upang kamtin ito o kailangang pumasok sa isang hindi disenteng paghahanap-buhay.</b><br />
<b>2. Kami ay para sa buhay. Dapat naming ipagsanggalang ang buhay ng tao mula sa sandali ng ito ay ipaglihi o mabuo hanggang sa natural na katapusan nito.</b><br />
<b>3. Naniniwala kami sa mapanagutan (responsable) at natural na pagsasayos ng bilang at panahon ng pagsisilang sa pamamagitan ng Natural Family Planning; dito kailangan ang pagbuo ng matatag na kalooban na nagtataglay ng sakripisyo, disiplina at paggalang sa dangal ng asawa.</b><br />
<b>4. Naniniwala kami na tayo ay mga tagapangasiwa lamang ng ating mga katawan. Ang pananagutan sa ating katawan ay dapat umalinsunod sa kalooban ng Diyos na nangungusap sa atin sa pamamagitan ng budhi.</b><br />
<b>5. Pinaninindigan namin na sa mga pagpili kaugnay sa RH Bill, ang budhi ay hindi lamang may sapat na kabatiran kundi higit sa lahat ay ginagabayan ng mga itinuturo ng kanyang pananampalataya.</b><br />
<b>6. Naniniwala kami sa kalayaan sa relihiyon at sa karapatan ng pagtutol ayon sa buhdi sa mga bagay na labag sa sariling pananampalataya. Ang mga nakapataw at parusa na napapaloob sa minumungkahing RH Bill ay dahilan para sa aming pagtutol dito.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Mga Panawagan Namin</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Bilang mga namumuno sa larangan ng relihiyon, pinaglimi namin nang malaliman at sa panalangin ang mainit na usaping ito. Nagkakaisa naming narating ang pasyang moral na tutulan ang nilalayon ng RH Bill at piliin ang buhay.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>1. Nananawagan kami para sa isang pundamental na pagpapanibago ng ating mga kaisipan at gawi kaugnay ng buhay ng tao, lalung-lalo na ang mga hindi makapagtatanggol sa sarili, ito ay ang buhay ng tao na nabubuo o ipinaglilihi. Ang hindi pagbibigay ng karampatang halaga sa buhay ng tao ay isang malaking kapintasan sa ating bansa na nakakiling sa relihiyon.</b><br />
<b>2. Nananawagan kami sa mga mambabatas na tingnan ang RH Bill sa liwanag ng buhay ng tao na nagtataglay ng dangal at halaga na galing sa Diyos. At dahil dito isasaingtabi na ito nang lubusan bilang labag sa ating mga pagpapahalaga at hangarin bilang isang bansa. Pinasasalamatan namin ang mga mambabatas na naghain ng mga panukalang batas na nagtatanggol sa buhay ng tao mula sa sandali na ito ay ipaglihi. Tinatawagan namin ang iba pang mga mambabatas na sumama sa kanilang hanay.</b><br />
<b>3. Pinasasalamatan namin ang napakaraming mga laiko sa buong bansa, lalung-lalo na ang mga grupong masisigasig na tumungo sa Kongreso upang ipagtanggol at itaguyod ang aming paninindigan. Nananawagan kami sa iba pang mga layko at tagasunod ng mga ibang relihiyon na sumama sa pagsusulong ng pagtatanggol at pagtataguyod ng ating mga sama-samang tinatanghal na mga pagpapahalaga at adhikain.</b><br />
<b>4. Nananawagan kami sa ating pamahalaan na mabisang tugunan ang mga tunay na dahilan ng kahirapan gaya ng katiwalaan, kakulangan ng mga serbisyong panlipunan at pangkabuhayan, kakulangan ng pagkakataon sa edukasyon at mga kapakinabangan ng kaunlaran, at di pagkakapantay-pantay sa lipunan.</b><br />
<b>5. Nananawagan kami para sa pagtatayo ng mga pagamutan at klinika sa mga kanayunan, sa pagkakaroon ng mga dagdag na tauhan sa larangan ng kalusugan upang higit na marami ang makinabang sa serbisyong pangkalusugan, sa pagtatayo ng higit pang maraming paaralan, sa paglalaan ng higit na tulong sa mga mahihirap para sa pag-aaral, at pagtatayo ng mas marami at mas mabubuting inprastruktura na kailangan sa kaunlaran.</b><br />
<b>6. Inuulit naming ang hamon na aming ibinigay 25 taon nang nakaraan sa EDSA I at nananawagan kami sa lahat ng mga taong may magandang kalooban na nakikiisa sa aming pinaninindigan: “sama-sama tayong manalangin, sama-sama tayong magmuni, sama-sama tayong magpasya, sama-sama tayong kumilos, lagi sa layuning ang katotohanan ay mamayani” sa harap ng maraming banta laban sa buhay ng tao at laban sa ating mga itinataguyod na mga halagang pantao at pang-kultura.</b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Naging emosyonal ang isang paring Katoliko makaraang mapanood ang movie trailer ng Father Jejemon, isa sa Official Entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2010 na kinatatampukan ni Dolphy, kung saan siya ay gumaganap bilang isang pari.</span><br />
<br />
Sa kanyang sermon kaninang Simbang-Gabi sa St. Joseph de Gagalangin Parish sa Tundo, kinondena ni Rev. Fr. Ric Dumas ang dalawang tagpo sa pelikula na diumano'y tahasang bumabastos sa pananampalatayang Katoliko, at sa mismong Panginoong Jesus.<br />
<br />
Ang tinutukoy ni Father Dumas ay ang eksena kung saan ay nagbibigay ng komunyon si Dolphy sa isang seksing babae at aksidenteng nahulog ang ostiya sa halos nakaluwang dibdib nito. <br />
<br />
Ayon sa pari, na mangiyak-ngiyak at nanginginig habang nagsasalita, hindi naaangkop na hayaang salaulain ng pelikula ang kasagraduhan ng ostiya, bagamat ang ginamit dito ay hindi konsagrado, ito pa rin umano ay sumisimbulo sa ating Panginoon na nagpakababa, nagkatawang-tao, isinilang sa isang sabsaban at ipinako sa krus upang tayo ay tubusin sa ating mga kasalanan.<br />
<br />
Wala umanong saysay ang pagluhod-luhod at pagdarasal sa simbahan ng mga Katoliko kung basta na lamang hahayaang mangyari ang ganitong mga kawalang-galang sa Eukaristiya.<br />
<br />
Hinamon ng pari ang lahat ng Katoliko na patunayan ang kanilang pagmamahal sa Diyos at ang kanilang sinasampalatayaan sa pamamagitan ng matitinding pagkilos upang huwag maipalabas ang Father Jejemon.<br />
<br />
"Kung kayo ay may Facebook account o Twitter, gamitin ninyo ang mga ito upang maipahinto ang pagpapalabas ng pelikulang ito. Kung may kakilala kayo sa MTRCB pakiusapan ninyo ang mga ito na kumilos upang ipatupad ang ating Saligang-batas na nagbibigay proteksiyon sa lahat ng uri ng pananampalataya," wika ni Father Dumas.<br />
<br />
Ang isa pa sa eksenang tinututulan ng pari ay nang sumabit ang isang ostiya sa pustiso ng isang matandang babae.<br />
<br />
Samantala, ayon sa ulat ng isang pahayagan, kumikilos na umano ang MTRCB upang muling ipasuri ang mga nabanggit na tagpo.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-22104124710895986862010-11-01T08:14:00.000-07:002010-11-05T04:04:18.503-07:00Month-long Devotion Ends In Style<img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/2dmds1i.jpg" border="0"/>The final day of October saw the Filipino Rosary Crusade-Nottingham North’s members attending Mass at the Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Church in Bulwell. Their intention was included in the said Eucharistic celebration which was presided by Fr Paul Newman. Right after the Mass, a picture taking with the Parish Priest was held.<br /><br />The group then went to the neighboring Poor Clare Monastery to pay a visit to Sr Annunciata, the lone Filipina nun in their monastery. A “Thank You” card as well as donations was handed over by Pietro Albano. Sr Annunciata accepted these in behalf of her congregation. Members were treated to some cakes and tea courtesy of the sisters.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/2m5xwsp.jpg" border="0"/> At about 5:00pm, people slowly started to arrive at the Sulit Residence in Berwick Close. Children were dressed in Halloween costumes while most of the adults were dressed in white in response to the Night of Light’s initiative to claim back Halloween as a Christian tradition. <br /><br />At about 5:30pm, Susan Sulit led the Rosary recitation. Jason, her son, assisted her by reading the Bible verses on each mystery. Marian songs were sung at the end of every decade. In the last sharing session, a number of members offered their views on “What have you learned in our month-long devotion?”<br /><br />During the Moment of Silence, names of the faithful departed including Benjamina Valdes-Madamba, Anicia Andreus, Julita Magadia, Purificacion Montero, Leonara Tudara, and Dominga Viloria were remembered and prayed for. These were the women who have inspired Pietro in organising a Rosary Crusade in Nottingham.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i53.tinypic.com/351he2w.jpg" border="0"/>After the singing of the “Ama Namin”, Pietro Albano delivered his Closing Message where he thanked the 15 families who have made the devotion a success. He compared the community to “scattered beads joined together like the beads of the Rosary singing ‘Ang puso ko’y nagpupuri’ or saying ‘Hail Mary full of grace’”. <br /><br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i53.tinypic.com/wckbyo.jpg" border="0"/>Tokens of appreciation were given to the 15 families as well as Jona Estioso and Vangie Lagazo, 2 Filipinas who have taken part in the devotion even if their homes have not been visited just as yet by the pilgrim image. Specials awards were given to Jackie Rapada (“Perfect Attendance”) and Jason Sulit (“Most Promising Youth Member”). <br /><br />To his surprise, Pietro was given a plaque of appreciation by all members. Precy Lagman read the contents of the plaque while everyone was standing. Pietro, who confessed to be allergic to awards, thanked everyone for their kindness.<img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i56.tinypic.com/16jghso.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />Right after the Concluding Prayers, Pietro announced that the pilgrim image will stay with the Sulits until next year when the devotion is resumed. The community sang “Diyos ay Pag-ibig” as the Closing Hymn. A salu-salo was later shared by everyone. For their part, children participated in the traditional “Trick or Treat”.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-83698652983597003852010-11-01T04:53:00.000-07:002010-11-05T02:58:04.151-07:00Pilgrim Image Visits 2010 Final Destination<img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i55.tinypic.com/rbd312.jpg" border="0"/>October 28 was when the group’s Rosary recitation was held at the Talanay Residence. Juliet Talanay led in the prayers which were followed by a sharing facilitated by Pietro Albano. The topic focused on “What makes a good community?”; an appropriate topic as the Church remembered that day Saints Jude Thaddeus and Simon, Apostles of Jesus. Outstanding answers were noted such as “good leadership”, “unity of members”, “treating each other with respect”. Pietro encouraged members to read the first few chapters of the Acts of the Apostles to see how the early Church community worked. As a sign of unity, all participants held hands as they have done in previous Rosary recitations to say the Lord’s Prayer. They later walked to the Senir Residence on Berwick Close where the image was welcomed by Anna Senir.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i56.tinypic.com/2v2bj89.jpg" border="0"/>The following night, Pietro announced that the Rosary will be offered for all the faithful departed since there are no Rosary recitations in November. He also informed members that a Filipino Chaplaincy in the East Midlands has recently been created. Fr Mariano Tarrosa, newly appointed Chaplain, will be saying Mass for Filipinos at the Nottingham Cathedral on 12th December 2010 at 6.00pm. <br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/2u8htmb.jpg" border="0"/>The Rosary was led by Anna. Members later discussed “As a Christian, what is your perception of death?” Stories were retold regarding the loss of a loved one and how members moved on full of hope in the Risen Lord. A Special Petition for the Holy Souls replaced the usual Petitions. The image was later brought to the Sulits; a stone’s throw away from the Senirs.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-45045930451763629562010-10-27T03:14:00.000-07:002010-11-05T02:32:04.187-07:00Image In Old Basford Returns to Bestwood<img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i52.tinypic.com/j7am1u.jpg" border="0"/>In Old Basford, the image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was handed over by Jude Amamio to the Provida Family on October 20, 2010. Mary Ann led the Welcome Prayer. Two days after, the group joined the family in praying the Sorrowful Mysteries. During the Reflection, people were asked “Which mystery of the Rosary could you relate with and why?” An interesting sharing was given by most participants drawing inspiration from a particular mystery and relating it with their personal experience. After salu-salo, the group processed to the Sarroza residence which is located right in front of Mary Ann’s house. Pedro Sarroza accepted the image from Chris Provida on behalf of his family.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i52.tinypic.com/rvc0li.jpg" border="0"/>The following Sunday, October 24, people congregated at the Sarrozas for the Rosary recitation which Pedro led. Group members made a sharing on “How do you persuade others to follow Christ?” in celebration of World Mission Sunday. Pietro Albano later made an appeal for the fundraising event in aid of Our Lady’s Parish Community Hall. Having spent a few days in Old Basford, the image was brought back to Arnside Road where it found a home at the Abrera Residence. Pedro handed over the image to Rachel Abrera while Ronald, her husband, read the Welcome Prayer.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i55.tinypic.com/2rnairr.jpg" border="0"/>October 26 was the night when the prayer meeting was held. Ronald led the Rosary. The topic for discussion was “How do you stay in love with your vocation?” A short meeting was also held in preparation for the Closing Event on October 31. From Arnside Road in Bestwood, the image was moved to the Talanays in Longmead Drive in Daybrook, the last area within the group’s scope to be visited by Our Lady’s image.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-7948066791583393642010-10-25T01:26:00.000-07:002010-11-05T03:00:27.241-07:00Two More Bestwood Homes Welcome Mary’s Image<img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i56.tinypic.com/4ku3yc.jpg" border="0"/>On October 16, the Brioneses handed over Our Lady’s image to the De Leons at the latter’s home in Davies Way. Right after the Welcome Prayer, which was led by Ma’an De Leon, a round of applause was offered by members to the Brioneses and De Leons for hosting the Rosary recitation and welcoming the image respectively.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i55.tinypic.com/2d2amvq.jpg" border="0"/>Two night later, The De Leons played host to the Rosary recitation which Ma’an led. As it was the feast of St Luke that day, the topic for sharing was “If I were a painter, what image of Mary will I paint and why?” Legend has it that apart from being a physician and writer, St Luke was also a painter. There was an interesting discussion that took place where most members shared and described their “painting” to others. To summarize, Pietro encouraged members to always bear in mind those images and share the message these images convey to others. The “Night of Light” initiative was also discussed which encourages Christians to reclaim the celebration of Halloween to its Christian roots. Suggestions on how to do this were mentioned. Prayers were followed by dinner before moving to the Amamios in Belconnen Road.<br /><br />In spite of the drizzle and cold atmosphere, participants kept themselves warm in prayer and song.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i51.tinypic.com/29cmfl0.jpg" border="0"/>October 20 saw members congregating at the Amamios to reflect on the Glorious Mysteries led by Jude Amamio. That night’s topic for sharing was “What quality of St Joseph would you like to imitate and why?” A number of good qualities from this beloved saint were shared. In closing, people were exhorted to always pray to St Joseph in order to be closer to the Virgin Mary. A meal was offered by the host family. Members later brought the image to the Provida Residence in Marsden Close, Old Basford – another area within Nottingham North.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-63076436950820920432010-10-19T06:08:00.000-07:002010-10-21T01:52:50.944-07:00Arnside Road Members Welcome Pilgrim Image<img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i55.tinypic.com/21ozocz.jpg" border="0"/>From Bestwood Park, the Pilgrim Image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was brought to the Mabalot Residence in Arnside Road, Bestwood Estate on October 9. Theirs was the first home in that area to be visited this year. YY Frio handed over the image to Joey Mabalot who also led her family in the Welcome Prayer.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i51.tinypic.com/vff9n4.jpg" width="250" border="0"/>Members once again gathered in that house on October 11 to pray the Rosary which Joey led. During the Reflection and Sharing, participants – especially the male members - offered their thoughts on “How do I pray with the heart?” in line with the theme of the recent Papal Visit to the UK (“Heart Speaks Unto Heart”). “Ina ng Paglaya” was sung to bring to a close the reflection. Copies of the Pope’s Homily during the Beatification Mass for Cardinal Newman were distributed. Right after a hearty meal, the image was moved to the Albanos, whose house is also in Arnside Road. Nidz Albano received the image from Joey.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i52.tinypic.com/sfatfc.jpg" border="0"/>Another prayer meeting took place on October 13 at the Albanos. Pietro led the Rosary. This was followed by a sharing on “Why do I pray the Rosary”; an appropriate topic since on that date the Church remembers the anniversary of last apparition of Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal. During those apparitions, Mary encouraged people to pray the Rosary. The singing of “On this Day O Beautiful Mother” followed. Meal was served later as a thanksgiving since Chiara Albano turned 25 months that day. This was followed by a procession to the Brioneses, the third house in that road to be visited by the image. Digna Briones welcomed the image.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i51.tinypic.com/2iw7iw9.jpg" border="0"/>On October 16, the Briones home was jam packed with people for the recitation of the Rosary which Digna led. “How do I become a witness to Christ?” was the topic for sharing that night in honor of St Lorenzo Ruiz, first Filipino saint who was a martyr and a devotee of the Rosary. Pietro sang a song to St Lorenzo. Copies of prayers to this saint were later distributed. Members sang “Happy Birthday” to Digna whose birthday was held the previous day. Participants were in turn treated to dinner before proceeding to the De Leon’s house in Davies Way.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-3210823203833865602010-10-14T05:59:00.000-07:002010-10-16T23:48:42.035-07:00Image Visits Bestwood Park Members<img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/2zem061.jpg" border="0"/>October 4 saw FRC members gathering once again at the Lagman and Rapada Residence in Holmewood Crescent to pray the Rosary which Jackie Rapada led. They later reflected on and recited the Prayer of St Francis of Assisi since it was his feast day. Copies of this beautiful prayer were handed out to participants. The image was later transferred to the Tesorero Residence in Belleville Drive where it was accepted by Jun Tesorero in behalf of his family.<br /><br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/10rolyu.jpg" width="300" border="0"/>Two nights later, members flocked to the house to pray. The reflection that night was on the Battle of Lepanto which was miraculously brought about by the Rosary. After a simple salu-salo courtesy of the Tesoreros, participants drove to the Frio Residence in Beckhampton Road where the image was welcomed by YY Frio. <br /><br />The group once again gathered to pray the Rosary on October 9. YY Frio led in the recitation; this was followed by a number of participants sharing their insights on “How do I look after my faith?” Leaflets containing a prayer for Blessed John Henry's Canonisation were also distributed in celebration of his feast that day. Dinner was served later before the image was brought to the Mabalots in Arnside Road.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-23753807714487849352010-10-10T09:59:00.001-07:002010-10-16T23:41:07.886-07:00FRC Celebrates First Year Anniversary<img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i52.tinypic.com/2qk8776.jpg" border="0"/>The Filipino Rosary Crusade (FRC)-Nottingham North celebrated its First Anniversary last 1st October 2010. A Thanksgiving Mass was offered at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Church presided by Fr Paul Newman, Parish Priest. The image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which will be brought from house to house this month, was placed at the Lady Chapel adorned with flowers.<br /><br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i55.tinypic.com/2gvq7mg.jpg" width="250" border="0"/>Right after Mass, the members proceeded to the Lagman and Rapada Residence where the enthronement of the image and the Rosary recitation were done. During the Reflection, members shared how they express their gratitude to God. Juliet Talanay considers the group’s rosary crusade as a thanksgiving to the Lord. Pietro Albano, FRC Coordinator, encouraged everyone to be thankful like Mary.<br /><br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 5px 5px 5px 5px; CURSOR: hand" alt="ANLUWAGE.COM" src="http://i56.tinypic.com/2l8u92a.jpg" width"80" border="0"/>Members were later treated to a sumptuous dinner courtesy of Precy Lagman, whose birthday falls on the same date. The FRC anniversary cake’s candle was jointly blown by Precy and Meng Sulit (another birthday celebrant) before the cake was cut and shared by everyone.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-18156943272764029762010-01-11T01:01:00.000-08:002010-01-11T01:16:29.628-08:00Anluwage Celebrates 18th Anniversary for Ondoy-Pepeng Victims<center><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/264pfso.jpg" alt="Courtesy: desert pastor" border="0" /></center><br /><br />To celebrate the 18th foundation anniversary of Tanghalang Anluwage, Inc. (TA) last October 2009, Vladimir Reyes, TA President decided to focus the celebration to help the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng that struck the country last October, which at the same time falls with the anniversary date. <br /><br />Reyes made an appeal in anluwage.com to friends and readers for donations for the said cause to help those affected “especially elementary school children who have no access to school supplies.” <br /><br />The said project is in cooperation with GMA Kapuso Foundation, a non-stock, non-profit organization that seeks to provide assistance to our less fortunate brothers and sisters anywhere in the country. <br /><br />Total collected money amounted to Php12, 000.00 with donations coming from the UK , USA , and the Philippines. Collections were made from October 19 until November 19, 2009. It was then turned over to the said foundation through its representative, Mr. Manuel de la Fuente. <br /><br />(Mark Rodney P.

Nida Albano led in reflecting the Joyful Mysteries while Jackie Rapada led in the singing. Intercessory Prayers followed which included a special prayer for all families and a moment of silence for the faithful departed. This was concluded with the singing of the ‘Ama Namin’ (Our Father) with participants holding each others’ hands. In his Message, Pietro Albano thanked everyone for their participation in this month-long devotion particularly the families who have welcomed the image in their homes. He also acknowledged members for their outstanding contribution to the devotion.

Susan Sulit welcomed them on behalf of her family. For this night's short talk, Pietro Albano discussed the importance of prayer and spending time on it as individuals and as a community. He also discussed the family as a 'domestic church' and shared excerpts from the writings of two modern popes - Paul VI (On the Devotion to Mary) and John Paul II (The Rosary of the Virgin Mary).<br /><br />Susan later led the community in reflecting on the Glorious Mysteries. This was followed by Intercessory Prayers and a fraternal dinner offered by the Sulits. Participants then walked to Arnside Road to bring the image to its home at the Albano Residence. Susan, in the presence of her husband Meng and daughter Nadine, turned over the image to Nida Albano who was accompanied by her husband Pietro and their daughter Chiara.<br /><br />The Albanos were the ninth home completing the loop of families that have participated in this October devotion.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20030658.post-66909689715038250272009-10-26T05:07:00.000-07:002009-10-27T02:56:06.066-07:00Love of Mary at Berwick Close<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrasGFV2tdYU5mhpF2CZNFXShcDD2_EH7hcs8GbnyUYiwodC5u8qS7nroVOM8SezopT7xCBvil2q3wlBuD7vLiOeMIPmM_v5gVBEZ9_HbHFuVu040Uz1TNxhj9eLZHPinEm4bUhQ/s1600-h/100_3124.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397216357063877234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrasGFV2tdYU5mhpF2CZNFXShcDD2_EH7hcs8GbnyUYiwodC5u8qS7nroVOM8SezopT7xCBvil2q3wlBuD7vLiOeMIPmM_v5gVBEZ9_HbHFuVu040Uz1TNxhj9eLZHPinEm4bUhQ/s320/100_3124.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Sunday evening, 25th October, Pietro Albano started the prayer session with a short talk on the Year of Priests which also occurred at the same time as the Year of the Two Hearts.

This was followed by Intercessory Prayers which included a special prayer for all priests that they would remain faithful to their vocation and be patterned after Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

Pietro Albano gave a brief talk on the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He said that June 2009-June 2010 is actually The Year of the Two Hearts (of Jesus and Mary) in the Philippines. He differentiated the two hearts: Jesus’ heart shows us what kind of love God has for humanity while Mary’s heart exemplifies what kind of love we should have for God and others. Pietro went further by citing examples of how Mary loved when she accepted to be Jesus’ Mother and when she went out of her way to visit and care for her elderly and pregnant cousin Elizabeth.<br /><br />Maan De Leon later led in the recitation of the Rosary. Intercessory Prayers followed. Alberto, Archie De Leon’s father who died recently, was specially mentioned. Dinner was offered afterwards.<br /><br />From Davies Way, Rosary group members drove to Longmead Road in Daybrook (Bestwood’s neighboring area) to bring the image of Mary to the Talanays.<br /><br />Archie and his family turned over the image to Juliet Talanay and her daughter Maxille Anne. Juliet was elated to see such a large number of participants joining the devotion.

He called participants’ attention that most of the time our devotion is focused more on vocal prayers without paying attention to meditating the mysteries of the Rosary. The article’s writer offered 5 main elements of meditation: considerations, affections, acts of penance, petitions, and resolution. Copies of this article were distributed to all attendees.<br /><br />Afterwards, Ronald Abrera led in reflecting the Sorrowful Mysteries. The Act of Consecration and the Prayer to St Joseph – prayers that have been part of this devotion – were also said as well as intercessory prayers for those in need. The Lord’s Prayer was said with everyone holding each other’s hands. Ronald finally read the Farewell Prayer. Participants later had a fraternal dinner.<br /><br />From Arnside Road, people walked to the De Leon Residence on Davies Way where the image was welcomed by Archie and Maan De Leon and their 3 children. Maan led the Welcome Prayer.

Previous to that, Pietro Albano highlighted the 3 feast days of Mary: Our Lady of La Naval de Manila (11th October), Our Lady of the Pillar (12th October), and Our Lady of Fatima (13th October). He mentioned the differences between these various titles of the Blessed Mother as well as the common denominator: Mary is always here to strengthen us especially during trying times. He cited the experience of the late Ft Patrick Peyton, founder of the Family Rosary Crusade, who was about to die because of tuberculosis but was saved thanks to Mary’s intercession.<br /><br />Jude Amamio led the prayers. Afterwards, merienda cena was offered to participants. Shortly, the image was transferred to the Briones residence where it was warmly received by Joel and Digna Briones.
