6th Sunday of Easter
T
he year 1965 was an extraordinary
year for all Filipinos, especially
for us in the Visayas. It was a
year of jubilees: Nineteen hundred and
sixty five was the fourth centennial
of the formal evangelization of the
Philippines with the re-discovery of our
islands by Miguel Legaspi, Fray Andres
Urdaneta and Fray Martin de Rada (the
first evangelist of Panay) on February
13, 1565. It also recalled the beginning
of our devotion to the Sto. Nio when
the statue purport edl y
given by Magellan to
the wife of Humabon
was found in a burned
hut in Cebu on
April 27, 1565 by the
soldiers of Legaspi.
Also on this year of jubilees (1965),
the Archdiocese of Jaro celebrated
its centennial as a Diocese. It was
established as a Diocese by the Decree
of Pope Pius IX on May 27, 1865,
separating it from the Diocese of Cebu,
with Mariano Cuartero as its First
Bishop. Also in the year 1965, the
then Archbishop of Jaro, Jose Maria
Cuenco, the first Filipino Archbishop
of our Diocese was celebrating his 50
th

anniversary as a priest.
These jubilees however were
unlike any other jubilees. It was not
just a joyful looking back at what
happened, four hundred, one hundred
or fifty years ago. More than these
they were celebrations hopefully
looking forward to the future which
included a very painful break
with the past. Why?

springtime in the Church.
Dedication of the Jaro Cathedral
To mark a happy memory and at
the same time a new beginning, on
May 26, 1965, the Cathedral and its
new altar were dedicated. It was a free
standing altar made of white marble
with the inscription A Deo in Honorem
Sanctae Elizabeth To God in honor
of St. Elizabeth. She is the patroness
of the Archdiocese and the cathedral
church. It was the first altar of its kind
to be dedicated in the Archdiocese
immediately after the Reform when
it became permissible and

to unity is love!
Last May 17, the Jaro Parish Youth
Ministry (JPYM) Officers, together with Jaro
Parish Ministry of Altar and Services (JPMAS)
and Himig Katedral Choir (HKC) Officers
gathered as one for this activity. We went to
Maria Paz Mountain Resort at Alimodian,
Iloilo to hold a leadership training.
Our purpose is to strengthen our
relationship as a community of young
servants in our parish.
Despite the warm temperature, our
activities went on successfully. We had
so much fun and we enjoyed very well
the team building activities. We played,
A
s we prepare ourselves for the
retrofitting and renovation project of
our parish convent, one of the things
that our parish staff and personnel need to do
is to pack our belongings like the documents,
books, kitchen utensils, linens and the like.
We are transfering offices and storing things
which are not frequently used.
Mind you, this is a lot of work! I have just
transferred my things to my new room and
arranging them again requires a lot of time
and efforts. Fr. Francis and Fr. Ciloy are also
transferring to St. John Mary Vianney Center
which is commonly called Home Sweet
Home where our aged and sick priests stay.
But this does not mean that Fr. Francis and
Fr. Ciloy are old and sick. They will only stay
there for the meantime, while the retrofitting
and renovation is being done. Moreover, Fr.
Ronald, Fr. Joenick and Msgr. Gene will also
D
umdoma ang Adlaw nga Inugpahuway
kag pakabalaana ini (Ex. 20:8; Dt.
5:12). Ini nga mga dinalan sa Santos nga
Kasulatan ginabalay para sa mga Kristiano
sa sini nga mga tinaga: Dumdoma kag
pakasantoson mo ang Adlawsang Ginoo.
Amo ini ang Ikatlo nga Sugo sang Dios
kag ini nagamando sa aton nga pakasantoson
ang adlaw nga gintalana para sa pagsimba
sa Dios kag para sa pagpahuway. Ini nga
sugo nasandig sa duha ka ginhalinan: ang
isa nagatuhoy sa aton relasyon sa Dios kag
ang isa nasentro sa iya sini tawohanon kag
makahililway nga mga bunga.
Ang nahauna, nasandig sa adlaw sang
pagpahuway, nga ginasaysay sa aton sang
Libro sang Genesis sang pagtuga sang Dios sa
kalibutan. Kay sa sulod sang anum ka adlaw,
gintuga ni Yahweh ang langit kag duta kag
ang dagat kag ang tanan nga ara dira, apang
nagpahuway Sia sa ikapito ka adlaw (Ex.
20:11). Gani, ang una nga rason nga ginahatag
para sa pagtuman sang Ikatlo nga Sugo amo
nga ang Dios nagpahuway sa ikapito ka adlaw.
Ini nga pahuway indi isa ka pag-untat sang
trabaho, kundi nga gintuga sang Dios ang isa
pa gid ka butang nga wala dira sang una kag
ina nga butang amo ang PAHUWAY. Diri ang
pahuway nagakahulogan indi lamang sang
pagkahilway sa obra, sa pagpatigayon sang
bisan ano nga sahi sang aktibidad, kundi nga
nagakahulogan ini sang kalinong, katawhay,
paghidait kag pagpahuway.
Ang ikaduha nga rason nga ginahatag
para sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway amo ang
labing daku nga pagkahilway gikan sa pagka-
ulipon sa Ehipto. Dumdoma nga nangin
ulipon ka man sang una sa duta sang Ehipto
kag halin didto ginpagwa ka ni Yahweh nga
move before the project starts.
If there is one thing I realize from this
experience, I learned that everything is
transitory. We are all pilgrims. We move from
one place to another. Nothing is permanent!
Sometimes, we are being taken out from our
comfort zones so that change may happen. As
they say, the only permanent thing in this life
is change.
With this reality of change, what
must we do?
First, I believe that we must set our hearts
on what is spiritual, eternal and lasting. Our
relationship with God through prayer and
with one another as brothers and sisters must
be our priority. While we have physical and
material needs, may we not lose sight of what
is truly essential in our life.
Second, we must learn to empower
people by teaching them lifes skills. In this
laughed and learned together. We realized
the importance of communication.
Conflicts and problems in the organizations
especially in leader-member relationship
are results of miscommunication.
After the training, my fellow youth made
use of their remaining time swimming. I,
on the other hand, enjoyed the quality time.
given by our Director, Rev. Fr. Nathaniel G.
Gentizon. He sat with us, talked with each
one of us, kamustahanay and chika-chika.
We exchanged jokes and laughed together.
He ate with us too. Indeed, we are like one
big happy family!
We would like to thank the BS
Accountancy students of St. Paul University
Iloilo, namelyAl MarieBustamante, DollyMae
Pinuela, Chessa Memoracion, Jessa Opinion
and Danica Bithao who facilitated the whole
training. They inspired us with their talk and
help in our teambuilding activities.
We would also like to extend our
gratitude to our parish, especially to all the
priests, who are always there to support us.
They made this leadership training possible
for our good and for the good of the parish.
Through this leadership training, we
hope that our ministries, the JPYM, JPMAS
and HKC, will be a united community
founded in strong relationship with Jesus
and with one another, having the conviction
to pursue their mission!
way, people will learn to be independent, self-
reliant and life-giving to others even without
our presence. Our constant formation
and trainings here in our parish aims to
develop our human resources so that amidst
these changes due to transfer of pastoral
assignments and other circumstances, people
will get to continue the pastoral program
because they are equipped and empowered.
And third, we must be open to change.
Our hearts and minds must have that sense
of openness to the present realities and its
challenges. We are open when we are humble
enough to dialogue with other people in
order to reach win-win solutions. Change is
inevitable. Our lack of openness may give so
much stress and problem in our lives. Dont
resist, be open!
Let us deal with change graciously.
Nothing is permanent except God and His love!
DEDICATION... from page 1...
even necessary to offer the Sacrifice of
the Mass facing the people so that the
decree of the Council, that the devout
and active participation of the faithful
may be easily achieved.
(It is saidthat Msgr. Cuenco was so used
celebrating the Mass with his back towards
the people, he forgot he was already facing
the people when he used the altar in the
cathedral for the first time. So when the
time for blessing the people came, when in
the old rite the celebrant faces the people
to bless them, he automatically turned back
and blessed, to everyones surprise not
the people but the statue of our Lady of
Candles behind him).
The dedication coincided with the
three day celebration of the centennial
May 25-27, 1965. It began in the afternoon
of May 25 with a solemn procession of
the relics of St. Elizabeth of Hungary from
the St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary to the
Cathedral grounds, where it was placed
for the veneration of the faithful. Then in
the morning of the 26
th
at five oclock in the
morning Bishop Juan Nilmar, the parish
priest of Jaro began the solemn rite of
dedication at the door of the Cathedral.
Dedication means taking possession
of a place solely for God and for worship.
And so it began with the purification of
the cathedral walls and the altar, with the
bishop blessing it with holy water mixed
with salt, ashes and wine, while seven
penitential hymns were sung. Then the
invocation to the Holy Spirit to come and
make His dwelling in the cathedral was
sung while the translation of the holy
relics of St. Elizabeth of Hungary from the
cathedral grounds to the church began.
The people following the lead of the bishop
entered the cathedral and took possession
of it. The bishop then placed the relics on
a small niche carved out from altar where
it was securely placed. Then the bishop
anointed the new altar pouring it with the
oil of Holy Chrism, while a brazier, placed
on the altar, burned sweet smelling incense.
The bishop then anointed the walls of the
cathedral marked by 12 brass crosses (which
remains to this day) and lighted with candles.
Then the altar was adorned, clothed in white,
with lighted candles surrounding it and the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass facing the people
began.
Significance
The dedication of the Church is the feast
of all the people of God who will be called
to gather each Sunday for the celebration of
the Eucharist. The altar is anointed with oil
since it will come to symbolize Christ, the
Anointed, Who remains the priest, the altar
and the lamb offered as a worthy sacrifice
to the Father for the redemption of all. The
altar is the rock from which Moses caused
water to flow, and the Rock was Christ (1
Cor 10:14), and it is the cornerstone of the
spiritual edifice which is the holy people of
Christ, the Church, redeemed by His blood.
It is the rock from which the sacrifice of all
ages was offered to the One God and Father
of all, even fromthe time of Abel to Abraham
and fromthe time of Moses and Aaron to the
priests of the temple in the time of Jesus.
In Christian times the relics of the
martyrs and the saints were placed on a
niche on the altar to make it clear that the
sacrifice of the members has its source in the
sacrifice of the Head. It also provides the
connection between the sacrifice of Christ
and the sacrifice of our lives which is an
essential part of true worship.
Celebrating the Anniversary
Today as we celebrate the 49
th

anniversary of the dedication of our
Cathedral Church let us imbibe the
symbolic value which the altar and
the cathedral walls communicate
to us today. We are the Church
made of living stones and
Christ is the Cornerstone
the altar from which
flows the living waters of grace. This church
building which was dedicated solely for God,
symbolizes the dedication and consecration
to God of every Christian born in the
community throughout the ages. She was, is
and will be a mother to us all.
As we look on that new era in the
Church in 1965, when the old and the new
converged, let us thankGod for the marvelous
gift of grace the grace of His presence and
guidance which He promised us even till
the end of time. In those confusing times
of transition our Archdiocese and parish
started it by dedicating anew their church,
their altar and themselves to the One Lord.
As I researched this data, I could not help
but wonder in awe at the reality presented
before me. We are a product of our history
a product of dedicated and selfless men
and women who served faithfully from the
rigidity of its beginning to the confusion of
the transition that followed Vatican II. Our
parish-community that this church building
symbolizes is like a river flowing gracefully
through the ages. It is the same river but
new water flows through it every day
nourishing perpetually the trees planted
on its banks.
Faithfulness this is what
we celebrate today in t h i s
anniversary, and as we do, may we
imitate the dedication of t h o s e
who brought us from o n e
era to another. God made
it happen and we a r e
deeply thankful.
ANG IKATLO NGA SUGO SANG DIOS
imo Dios paagi sa gamhanan nga kamot
kag pagbayaw sang butkon. Gani, si
Yahweh nagasugo sa imo sa pagbantay
sang Adlaw nga Inugpahuway. (Dt. 5:15)
Ini nga rason nagahatag sing pagtamod sa
kahulogan sang Adlaw nga Inugpahuway
bilang, 1) pagdumdom sa adlaw sang
kahilwayan, kag 2) ang iya sini kahulogan para
sa bug-os nga katilingban, ilabi na gid sa mga
katapo sini nga nabudlayan kag napigado-
mga kabataan, mga ulipon, mga kasapatan,
kag mga dumoluong (cf. Dt. 5:14).
Halin sang una, ining duha ka mga
rason sang pagpakabalaan sa Adlaw nga
Inugpahuway, ginapasumpong sa isa ka isa.
Kon hatagan sing importansya ang pagsimba
lamang, ini nga Adlaw mahimo nga Adlaw
nga, para sa mga Pariseo, isa ka kasugoan
nga dapat tumanon agod mapakita ang
pagkamadebosyonon sang tawo. Sa pihak nga
bahin, kon hatagan sing importansya ang iya
sini pangkatilingban nga kahulogan, ini nga
Adlaw mangin simple lamang nga adlaw sang
pagpahuway kag paglingaw sa lawas, nga
wala na nagadumdom sang iya sini relihiyoso
nga kahulogan.
Pero ini nga sahi sang paghangup
wala nagasantu sa Santos nga Kasulatan:
ang pagsimba nagakadapat gid nga ihatag
sa Dios nga amo ang Tagtuga tungod kay
gikan sa Iya nagagikan ang paghigugma sa
mga kabataan, mga ulipon, mga kasapatan
kag mga dumoluong samtang nga ang
makahililway kag tawohanon nga pahuway
sang Exodus ginhimo ni Yahweh, Sia nga amo
ang Labing Balaan sa tanan. Gani, sa lugar
nga magsumponganay ining duha ka rason,
dapat nga nagakompleto kag nagabug-os sila
sa isa ka isa. Ang Pagkasantos sang Adlaw
nga Inugpahuway dapat himuon paagi sa
pagsimba kag sa pagpahuway. Paagi sini
nga pagpakasantos, ginabukas naton ang
aton kaugalingon sa Dios kag sa isa kag isa.
Kag ang aton selebrasyon kag pahuway sa
sini nga Adlaw mangin isa ka pauna nga
pagpasiplat sa langit.

ang ikaduha nga panalgan pagapahamtangan
sang lima ka mga kwarto para sa mga kaparian,
wala labot sa kusina, hulot-kalan-an kag sala.
Ini nagakahulogan nga mas mahapos kag
madali para sa mga kaparian ang magkitaay
kag magtingob tungod kay nagahilapitay
lamang ang ila mga kwarto. Samtang sa pihak
nga bahin, ginasugoran na ang pag-aman
sang isa ka bahin sang Pius XII Institute nga
pagasaylohan sang mga opisina sang parokya.
Ang una nga ginakaayo amo ang kasilyas nga
pagagamiton sang mga empleyado samtang
ara sila sa ila ulobrahan. Sa tapos sini, ang
nanuhaytuhay naman nga mga opisina
amo ang pagahatagan sang igtalupangod.
Kinahanglan man nga papintahan ang ini nga
bahin sang building sang Pius XII Institute
agod nga mangin matinlo kag mahipid man
ini tan-awon. Ginapaabot nga sa pagsugod
sang bulan sang Junio, magaumpisa na ang
pagpakaayo sang kombento.

inyo bulig agod nga mangin madali ang
pagpahuman sang sini nga proyekto.

means Pope Francis spends more
time greeting pilgrims gathered
at St. Peters Square. This week, the
Pope signed a boys arm cast, and even
stopped several times to kiss people with
disabilities, who were visibly excited.
During his catechesis, he talked
about science. He said, this gift from the
Holy Spirit allows people to see nature a
gift fromGod.
If God sees Creation as a good and
beautiful thing, we must also adopt this

attitude, to see Creation as good and beautiful.
The Pope has frequently expressed his concern
over the environment, and its widely expected
to be the topic of his next encyclical. During the
audience, he issued another warning.
This must be our attitude towards Creation:
we must protect it. Because if we destroy Creation,
Creation will destroy us. Lets not forget that.
Near the end, the Pope asked the roughly
50,000 pilgrims present to pray for his upcoming
trip to the Holy Land, as well as the World Day of
Prayer for the Church in China, which takes place
on Saturday.
Thousands Brave Rains, Heat to Venerate Relics of
St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II

St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II.
The Media Mindset Club based in
Tawili University Center, in cooperation
with other student organizations, set up
the exhibit, consisting of panels wherein
images of the various episodes of the
lives of St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II
are featured.
According to Prof. Maria Rosario
Victoria E. de Guzman, Coordinator of the
Media Mindset Club, they set up the exhibit
because of the inspiration of St. John Paul
II, who reached out to all sectors of society,
especially the youth, and of St. John XXIII
who brought the Church to dialogue with
themodernworldbyconvokingtheSecond
Vatican Council.
The two new Saints were great
communicators who can serve as models
and intercessors especially in the age
of the New Evangelization. Prof. de
Guzman said.
The Media Mindset Club set up the
exhibit in San Agustin University for the
devotees who came to venerate the relics
of St. John Paul II and St. John XXIII.
After this, observing that many
other people could benefit fromknowing
the new Saints, the Media Mindset Club
has made the exhibit available to other
schools and organizations as well.
Fr. Mickey Cardenas
Blessed Ivan Merz.
Devotees coming as far as the provinces outside
Iloilo testified in interviews over local radio that they
could not help but feel the presence and holiness of the
newsaints when they prayed before their sacred relics.
Campus Ministry Director Mhark Dominic
Macaranas related that many devotees came to
venerate the relics to give thanks. Some religious
sisters have told me that they came here repeatedly
out of gratitude for the many favors that they had
received through the intercession the new saints.
Macaranas said.
According to Jeremiah Verdeleon, University
of San Agustin Student Council President, the relics
custodians told him that, of all the places in the
Philippines where they have brought the Saints
relics so far, they have never seen a multitude that
was very recollected and so prayerful.
The custodians noticed that the people came
not only to look but also to touch, pause and pray
before the Saints relics. It was also observed that
the majority of the pilgrims participated in the Holy
Mass and many of themwent to Confession.
The visit of the relics of St. John XXIII and St.
John Paul II in Iloilo ended today, May 22, after a
despedida Mass celebrated by Fr. JoenickTerritorio,
Director of the Jaro Archdiocesan Commission on
the Laity, with other priest concelebrants.

In a related development, a group of young
professionals and university students, inspired by the
lives of the new Saints, recently launched an exhibit of

faithful from Iloilo and neighboring
provinces braved strong rains and
sweltering heat to stand in line for an
opportunity to venerate the relics of St.
John XXIII and St. John Paul II.
The relics of St. John Paul II and of
St. John XXIII arrived in Iloilo Airport in
the morning of May 20 and were brought
by motorcade to the University of San
Agustin with two brief stopovers in the
Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral -as an act of
homage to Our Lady of Candles whose
image Pope John Paul II canonically
crowned in his visit here in 1981- and in

Upon arrival of the Saints relics in
San Agustin University Jaro Archbishop
Angel N. Lagdameo celebrated the
welcome Mass at 11 a.m.
In the homily, the Archbishop
underlined the message that everyone is
called to be a canonizable saint. He even
jokingly told the people that they ought
to lead holy lives because the process of
canonization can be very expensive.
Devotees waited in lines that
extended from the chapel to the parking
area for an opportunity to venerate the
relics of the newly canonized Popes and of

Pureza D. Lacuesta
Realizations in My Summer Pastoral Work
Ministry of Readers Regular Meeting: A Fruitful One
W
hile I was still in the Seminary,
I was very excited anticipating
my assignment for summer
pastoral work. Excited for this is my
first experience to spend life in a parish
unknown to me. Excited because this
would be a different life experience.
I would be mingling with people of
different personalities and the parish
environment would be different from the
seminary life I am presently enjoying.
I was so excited before the
announcement of our assignment. I couldnt
explain my feelings. But when our pastoral
assignment was announced, unfortunately,
I was absent due to headache that made
me absent too during the first day of my
pastoral work. I was so thankful that the
parish accepted me even though I reported
on the second day.
My pastoral assignment was here in the
Parish of Our Lady of Candles. I was hesitant
because this parish is big and I anticipated
that there would be more work to do.
In my first few days in the parish
together with my partner, Sem. John
Gio, I felt uneasy since I was new to the
environment. But as time and days passed
I
n its regular monthly meeting held last
May 18, some sixty members of the
Ministry of Readers including the twenty
new readers met with Msgr. Alejandro P.
Esperancilla, MOR Spiritual Adviser, to plan
the upcoming Basic Formation and Renewal
Seminar to be held on June 14 and 15, 2014.
This Formation and Renewal Seminar
aims to deepen the Spiritual formation
and understanding of the Word of God and
improve the members skills in proclaiming
Him. The seminar is mandatory for the
commissioning and re-commissioning of
the new and old readers respectively. This
will be conducted by the Archdiocesan
Commission on Liturgy and supplemented
by, little by little, we were able to adjust to the
parish and its regular schedule and with the
people around us. We felt comfortable and at
home withour brother seminarians andother
personnel in the parish and with the priest
whomwe had gained good relationship.
After a week our three brothers
from St. Joseph Regional Seminary
joined us here in Jaro Cathedral because
of their special assignment. Since they
stayed with us, they added meaning to
our pastoral work. We had different
objectives but we joined together in some
activities of the parish.
This is my first pastoral experience but
I can sense the relationship between the
parish life and the seminary life, particularly,
our CASA (Community, Academic, Spiritual
and Apostolic) formation.
First, in the Community life, good
relationship with one another is lived.
When I was here in Jaro Cathedral, we
really spent time bonding with one another
because I see that the priests are close to
each other and to the people. This, I find
amusing and inspiring.
Second, in our Academic life we are
trained to develop good study habits
to sharpen our brain and enhance our
intellectual capacity. Here in the cathedral,
I realize the need to answer intelligently
the queries of the people especially
questions about the Church.
Third, in the Spiritual life, we balance
our time for daily chores and prayer.
Here in the Cathedral, to pray is really a
challenge because of the busy-ness of life.
Fourth is the Apostolic life. Here we
are trained to be of service. Our summer
pastoral work is a preparation for the
priesthood where we are being exposed to
the life of the parish. As of now, I am not
yet ready to embrace priesthood because I
need to prepare a lot more.
Although I committed some mistakes
during my exposure the most important
thing is that I learned many things and I
learned from my mistakes. I am happy to
be with the people at the Jaro Cathedral.
There will always be so many roads to cross
but there is always the guiding Light. My
experience here in the parish is only the
beginning. What I am taking right now are
small steps but I am sure, this will lead me
towards becoming what God wants me to
be - with Jesus as my Light and Inspiration!
Sem. Jigger Canonero
by the Parish Priest.
Other matters discussed during the
meeting were the following:
1. Starting in the month of June there
will be a cantor to lead and guide the
churchgoers in the 6:30 a.m. and 5:30
p.m. daily Masses. This will help in the
solemnity of the Mass especially if the
cantor has a beautiful and prayerful
voice. Music draws everyone to sing
and sets the mood for the entire Mass.
The cantors were identified from the
Ministry of Readers by Ms. Evelyn
Jimena and will be trained by Fr. Noel
Gomez, Head of the Parish Music
Ministry on May 20, 21, 27 and 28,
6:00-8:00 p.m.
2. Starting in June, the 5:30 p.m. Masses
will be celebrated in English
3. The Novena for the Mes de Junio will
be prayed after the 6:30 a.m. Mass.
This will be done daily except on
Sundays. Readers have been assigned
to do this for the whole month of June.
4. Msgr. Esperancilla reminded everyone
to be aware of the proper use of the
microphone. The reader must be
sensitive of the correct distance of the
microphone from his/her mouth. He/
She shouldbe aware that his / her voice
is clear and audible. Constant practice
is recommended. Alma D. Blanca
W
hen we think of the rules,
commandments or guidelines, we
always become resistant thinking
that we have to give up a lot of things or do
some adjustments. Rules make us take a step
backward to assess things if these are more
benefcial to us or not. We fnd it diffcult to
follow rules since at the back of our mind, we
already hesitate to follow, thinking that we
will be deprived or be controlled and we will
be restricted with a lot of things that we want
to do.
Jesus gave us commandments to follow
to: Love God and our neighbors. We are taught
to love God with all our heart, to have faith
and to be obedient to His Commandments, the
Ten Commandments. We are also told to love
our neighbors as we love ourselves.
At the onset, we find difficult following
the commandments. Inside us, we have
doubts on the things that lie ahead. We
always reason out that we are just humans
and the Commandments are difficult to
follow because of the temptations and
challenges of everyday life.
We are told, Love your enemies,
we would reason out, why would I love
someone who caused me so much pain and who
offended me? It is difficult to even to forgive
those who caused us a lot of misfortune,
especially those who really get into our
nerves kailinit gid kanami tampa-on...
baw a! Would it be easy to keep cool? Its a
little difficult, isnt it? But as part of Gods
commandment, we have to be calm and love
them in spite of what they have done to us,
and we need to lengthen our patience.
Christ assured us that if we follow Him,
He would not leave us orphans. He promised
to provide us with another defender or
advocate who will always be around to help or
guide us. This advocate is the Spirit of Truth
wherein Jesus points us to The Pentecost and
the Gifts of the Spirit. We are never alone. We
are called to value the well-being of others,
even in the midst of survival, even before our
comfort. We are taught that before we judge
others, we should try to understand their
situation and their predicament.
It will be a challenge for us to follow
the Commandments but with the Spirit, we
will be able to rise to the challenge. We will
be able to overcome our trials. That in spite
our personal trials we will be able to reach
out to those marginalized, the suffering, and
those others in need. Even if we have our own
pains in life, we can still be agents to healing
and reconciliation in this divided and broken
world. Loving our enemies can also come in
the form of standing up to those in need, to
protect and give support and this we can do
with the help of the Spirit. From our learning
in our challenges in life, we can share our
pains and strive to overcome our trials. In
sharing we give ideas to others on how to
overcome their own life challenges. Added
to this, in times of trials God sends us help,
sometimes in the form of people who can give
us advices, counsel and comfort. I believe that
what is written in the poem, Footprints in the
Sand is true when the Lord said the times
when you have seen only on set of footprints, it is
when I carried you. I believe God never gives
us trails we cannot overcome. He never gives
us temptations we cannot surpass if only we
follow His Ten Commandments. Let the Ten
Commandments be our guiding post, though
it maybe be diffcult to follow sometimes,
close your eyes, let go of earthly pleasures and
follow the Commandments. It will always lead
you back to the right road. You may try it if
you wan.
In 1985, arriving in an alien place with
new friends, new environment, new school
and faced with High School life, it was a
diffcult period of adjustment for me, but I was
able to cope up because I was blessed with
my manongs who guided, adviced and
loved me as a younger sister. It was these
men, who today have become ordained
priests, who made me strong and overcome
my challenges. Believe me, even up to now,
I still run to them for guidance. They are
my God-given Spirits. In the brighter side
of life God gives us challenges for us to
overcome. Dont let these trials put us down.

You need to make instant decision? Pray and
let your conscience guide you (Align your
decision with Gods Commandment).
Each challenge we overcome makes
us better persons. When making decisions,
pray and ask for Gods guidance and seek
Him with a sincere heart. Let us remain
obedient to His Commandments.
God never leaves us. He is always beside
us to guide and love us until the end.
Respond! Rebuild! Resurrect!
What Is Peace?
P
eace does not mean the absence of
problems, or the quietness of our
surroundings, but, it means the presence
of God in everything we do, which gives us
that calmness of spirit which we need.
Today, we complain about disturbances
which give us much unrest and worries. We
blame people. We blame the modern gadgets.
We blame the media. We blame almost
everything, except ourselves.
Every day we hear about hair-raising
reports of the loss of human lives, we see
curdling incidents on television, we watch
with alarm as we notice that those incidents
take place anywhere. Modern devices like
cellphones, bring these fearful incidents right
into our midst.
We are now locked in a cell of self-
destruction, as Philippine skies grow darker
with the threatening clouds of vices and
immorality. They are visible everywhere,
We Are Not Forsaken
Joy H. Gefes
from homes, to schools, to offices, to public
places, they simply surface any time without
warning.
This is the time to ward off our non-
care attitude, to leave the comfort of
irresponsibility, and use our knowledge to
cure the Philippines of her ills. Each of us is
given by God the ingredients to make a recipe
for good relationship. Let us use it now.
Arise! Together let us break the chain
of slavery to vices, false pride, and selfish
ambitions. Let us join hands, join our hearts,
bounded with Gods graces, and remove
our country from the pit of vices and moral
destruction. Let us lift her high to the skies
of world recognition, as a nation filled with
people who love freedom, freedom from the
chains of moral slavery, and who understand
that peace is not entirely freedom from
problems, but where the problems are solved
with the presence of God.
Hail! Brilliant Pearl of the Orient Seas!
Hail! Fellow Christians! Open your heart to
God! Accept and repent of your lack of self-
confidence! Pray for strength! For courage!
For faith! Remove the stains of false and
pretentious brotherhood! Rise! Do not look
back! Do not fall into the abyss of selfishness!
Give love. Spread faith. Share your
blessing with joy. Remember God is beside
us to give us strength if we weaken, to give us
courage, to give us His support, His grace.
What was done cannot be undone, but, it
can be repaired.
Peace starts within us. Let us release it.
Smile in the face of troubles. Love when you
are discarded.
Remember, God never fails! God never
leaves even if we are sometimes disobedient.
Turn to God! Trust in Him! Do you see
that smile on His Face?
Its PEACE!
