    6th Sunday of Easter

    Msgr. Alejandro P. Esperancilla

    6th Sunday of EasterThe 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 p u r p o r t e d ly 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 50th 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?

    Everyone is invited to join in the celebration of the Anniversary of the Dedication of Jaro Cathedral through the Holy Mass on May 26, 2014 at

    7:30 a.m. with Most Rev. Angel N. Lagdameo, D.D. as presider.

    Dedication of the Cathedral of JaroBecause on that same year Pope Paul VI closed the Second Vatican Council and promulgated its decrees decrees which were hoped to send a breeze of fresh air and to usher in a new springtime in the Church.

    Dedication of the Jaro CathedralTo 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

    JPYM, JPMAS, HKC: One Community of Young Servants

    Deal with ChangeFr. Nathaniel G. Gentizon

    Rt. Rev. Higinio C. Velarde

    The Pastor Speaks... The key to success is unity, and the key 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,

    As 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

    Dumdoma 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 Adlaw sang 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, namely Al Marie Bustamante, Dolly Mae Pinuela, Chessa Memoracion, Jessa Opinion and Danica Bithao who facilitated the whole training. They inspired us with their talk and help in our team building 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 said that 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 26th 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.

    SignificanceThe 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 from the time of Abel to Abraham and from the 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 49th 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 thank God 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 DIOSimo 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.*****

    Sang nagligad nga Mierkoles, nagsinapol liwat ang mga kaparian upod sa aton Engineer agud mahambalan ang nahanungod sa pagplastar sang mga lainlain nga mga kwarto sa idalum kag ikaduha nga panalgan sang aton kombento. Sa sini nga sinapol, ginkaisahan nga 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.

    Kabay pa nga magmaalwan kamo sa inyo bulig agod nga mangin madali ang pagpahuman sang sini nga proyekto.

Pero kilala ninyo sia, kay sia nagapabilin upod sa inyo, kag nagakabuhi sa inyo. 18 Indi ko kamo pagbayaan nga mga ilo, kay magabalik ako sa inyo. 19Sa indi na lang madugay, ang kalibutan indi na makakita sa akon, pero kamo makakita sa akon, kag tungod kay ako nagakabuhi, kamo man magakabuhi. 20Sa sina nga Mientras tanto nga nagakabuhi kita diri sa kalibutan, sa pihak

    sang aton nadangatan sa pangabuhi indi gid malikawan nga magabalik sa aton panumduman ang aton mga nagliligad.

    Pito ka tuig ako sadto sang maglubha ang balatian ni Nanay. Napatay sia Pebrero 1 kag daku gid ang pagkalisud ni Tatay. Sa pihak sining iya pagbakho ginhanda niya ang tanan para sa akon. Ginbilin niya ako kay Lola kag sa akon Tiyo kag subong man sa akon pakaisa nga sadto isa na hamtang nga dalaga. Sila ang magasirbe nga mga ginikanan ko. Pag-abot sang Abril 19 sa amo man nga tuig, napatay si Tatay. Nabilin ako nga ilo.

    Sa grasya sang Mahal nga Dios, nangin madinalag-on ako kag ina tungod wala ako ginbayaan ni Tatay nga lubos nga ilo kay iya ako ginbilin sa mga tao nga mapinalanggaon. Nagdaku ako nga puno sing pagsalig. Wala ko mabatyagi ang pag-isahanon, ang kakulba, kag ang kabalaka. May nagaubay kag nagapalangga sa akon.

    Amo man ini ang ginhimo ni Ginoong Jesus. Iya ginpasalig ang Iya mga apostoles nga indi

    adlaw, inyo mahibaluan nga yara ako sa akon Amay kag kamo yari sa akon, kag ako yara sa inyo.21Ang nagabaton kag nagatuman sang akon mga sugo amo ina sia ang nagahigugma sa akon. Ang akon Amay magahigugma sa iya nga nagahigugma sa akon, kag ako man magahigugma sa iya kag magapahayag sang akon kaugalingon sa iya.

    More than a hundred participants from the Jaro Parish Youth Ministry (JPYM) coming from Jaro Parish Ministry of Altar Servers (JPMAS), Himig Katedral Choir (HKC), Schola Candelaria and some parents joined the Sundays Vocation Afternoon held at La Isabelita Hall from 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon of May 18, 2014. The event started with an animation followed by the talk of Msgr. Alejandro P. Esperancilla, Archdiocesan Commission on Vocations Director.

    He introduced and defined the meaning of Vocation. According to him vocation is ones purpose in life and he encouraged everyone to find their purpose. The youth were encouraged to find the good that they can bring to others. After Msgr. Andys talk, everybody was filled with inspiration with the sharing of vocation stories by Rev. Fr. Nathaniel Gentizon, Sem. Reynard Tubid, Sr. Amy Dalumpines of the Religious of Mary Immaculate. Mrs. Lourdes Alquisada, the mother of Rev. Fr. Ron Michael Alquisada, was also present. She talked about how she

    Vocation Afternoon in Jaro Parish

    Parish Commission on Vocations Meeting

    MKK Formation

    Ginsaad ang Espiritu Santo

    To promote more vocations especially for the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Jaro, the Commission on Vocations of the National Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of Candles had a meeting last May 17, 2014, 2:00 p.m. at the La Isabelita Hall. All the parents of seminarians and priests were encouraged to attend the said meeting to meet its objective which is to create a small core-group as small beginning for more vocation promoters in the future in the Archdiocese of Jaro.

    Many attended the meeting which started with an opening prayer led by Michael Reeve Sogo-

    Sang nagligad nga Sabado, Mayo 17, 2014 ginpatigayon naman ang isa ka Formation para sa mga Magagmay nga Kristyanong Katilingban (MKK) Cell Leaders kag Barangay Apostolic Coordinator (BAC) Worship, Education, Service, Temporalities, Finance & Youth (WESTFY) diri sa aton parokya.

    Ang topiko amo ang Christology nga ginpatpat ni Sem. Mark Joseph Dellomes Hormigoso. Ginpaathag niya ang 4 Sources of Christology nga amo ang mga masunod: 1) Historical

    an followed by the self-introduction of each participant. The meeting was headed by Sem. Mark Joseph Hormigoso. He discussed about Commission on Vocation and the important role of the parents in the growth of the seed of vocation especially to the priesthood. In the middle of the discussion,

    was able to manage and help in the cultivation of the vocation of her son who is now a priest.

    The activity ended with a closing message from the parish priest, Rev. Msgr. Higinio C. Velarde, Jr. who also campaigned to the young participants to join the religious way and invited and challenged them to be the nurturers of vocation in the parish of Jaro. Sem. John Gio L. Jastia

    Jesus, 2) Biblical Jesus, 3) Jesus from Tradition, and 4) Magisterium. Sa sini nga mga talamdan ginapa-athag kon sin-o si Jesus sa apat ka perspektibo. Gina presentar dira ang nagakalain-lain nga pagpresentar kon sin-o si Jesukristo.

    Ginpaathag ni Sem. Mark Hormigoso ang mga katuyuan sang pagkari ni Jesus sa kalibutan. Iya man ginpatpat ang apat ka labing importante nga mga katuyuan ni Jesus nga amo ang masunod: 1) Jesus elected to be baptized by John, 2) Jesus elected to serve the poor, sinners, sick and the lost house of

    Israel, 3) Healing and forgiveness, kag 4) Jesus relied on the strength of faith.

    Pagkatapos iya man gin-angot ang ginatudlo ni Jesus nahanungod sa nagakalain-lain nga estado sang pagpangabuhi bilang praktikal nga implikasyon sang Christology. Katulad abi sang: Jesus and poverty, power, governance, politics, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), youth, kag iban pa.

    Ini nga hilikuton nag-umpisa sa alas 9:00 sa aga kag natapos alas 12:00 sa udto. Eufemia Tadifa

    Ms. Emma Victoria, a benefactor of seminarians and priests in the Archdiocese of Jaro, shared her experiences being a member of the Commission on Vocation. Before the adjournment of the meeting, snacks were served. Then, there was the picture taking followed by a closing prayer. Sem. Jigger Caonero

    Niya sila pagbayaan nga mga ilo. Iya ipadala ang Espiritu Santo nga maga-ubay sa ila agud nga mangin kasubong lang nga ara Sia nga naga-upod.

    Kita man nga mga binunyagan nakabaton sini nga regalo, ang Espiritu Santo. Nagikan ini kay Ginoong Jesus tungod sa wala pa Sia makasaka sa Langit, ginplastar gid Niya ang tanan nga mga kinahanglanon espirituwal sang Iya mga katauhan. Pito ka palaagyan sang grasya ang Iya gintukod, kag amo ina ang Pito ka mga Sakramento. Ini tanan agud aton mabatyagan ang Iya Presensya paagi sa sini nga mga Sakramento nga ara man ang Espiritu Santo.Paano naton mapadayon ang aton kaangtanan sa Espiritu? Paagi sa paghigugma kay Ginoong Jesus nga naghigugma sing lubos sa aton. Kag ina nga paghigugma indi lang pagpatungod sa Iya tungod lang sa sentimiento ukon balatyagon, kundi sa pagkabuhi sini paagi sa pagtuman sang Iya mga sugo kag sa pagpangabuhi suno sa pagbuot sang Dios. Kon aton matuman sing mahigugmaan ang Iya mga ginpangpulong magapabilin kag magatubo pa gid ang Espiritu Santo sa aton. Isa ka importante gid nga bagay nga aton dapat

    pagahimuon ang pagkabuhi suno sa binubuot sang Espiritu Santo! Kay ang Espiritu Santo amo ang Presensya sang Dios sa aton. Sia ang kamot sang Dios nga padayon nagadihon sa aton, nagahatag iwag sa dalan sang aton pagbag-o indi lang sa aton kaugalingon kundi mismo sa bug-os nga katauhan. Agud ining kalibutan nga aton ginaluntaran mangin Iya Ginharian.

    Sa sini nga punto aton nabatyagan nga ang Espiritu Santo amo man si Jesus nga padayon naga-upod sa aton, ano pa ang aton kahadlukan? Magsalig kag itugyan ang tanan kay Ginoong Jesus kay indi gid Niya kita pag-ibilin nga mga ilo!

    Pamangkot1. Sa aton pagpanglakaton bilang Magagmay nga Kristiyanong Katilingban nabatyagan man bala naton ang Presensya sang Dios paagi sa Espiritu Santo? Paano?

    2. Sa aton pagtuo nga ang Espiritu Santo ara sa aton, paano bala mapahayag ang ini nga kamatuoran sa aton personal kag pangkatilingbanon nga kabuhi?

    May 21, 2014 - Favorable weather 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 from God.

    If God sees Creation as a good and beautiful thing, we must also adopt this

    Popes Audience: If We Destroy Nature, Nature will Destroy Us

    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 the modern world by convoking the Second 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 from knowing the new Saints, the Media Mindset Club has made the exhibit available to other schools and organizations as well.

    Iloilo testified in interviews over local radio that they could not help but feel the presence and holiness of the new saints 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 them went 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. Joenick Territorio, Director of the Jaro Archdiocesan Commission on the Laity, with other priest concelebrants.

    professionals and university students, inspired by the lives of the new Saints, recently launched an exhibit of

    As a literal response to the Year of the Laitys challenge Choose to be Brave! thousands of Catholic 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 St. Pauls University.

    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

    Realizations in My Summer Pastoral Work

    Ministry of Readers Regular Meeting: A Fruitful One

    While 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

    In 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 with our brother seminarians and other personnel in the parish and with the priest whom we 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 should be aware that his / her voice is clear and audible. Constant practice is recommended. Alma D. Blanca

    When 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 beneficial to us or not. We find it difficult 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 difficult 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 difficult 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. At first it would be hard to tackle patawhayi paminsara ang maayo ubrahon ngayo ka advice binagbinaga ang kaayuhan nga mahimo kag ang kalainan nga madulot . pangadi-I siguradoha nga wala ka ga lihis sa Iya nga Sugo kag wala man may matapakan nga tawo para sa kadalag-an sang himuon mo himo ka desisyon. 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?Peace 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 ForsakenJoy 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!
