May Flower Marian Devotion Facilitators

Image
May flower Marian devotion is fast approaching. We will be giving catechesis for children as they congregate to honor Mary as the disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. An example of humility and simplicity. Before we could teach the children, we have to prepare the facilitators so that they can effectively impart the teaching of our faith. . This year they will also prepare the children who were not been able to participate on the First Communion scheduled last December and January. They will also help our Catechist for those who will undergo the seminar for Kumpilang Bayan.

Mobile blogging

Mobile blogging was been a realm not yet behind my grasp. However, I am starting to study it. This is the first time of trying it. I am better of the desktop guy rather than with a more slim and handy gadget. One of the advantage of the desktop is a more organized presentation.

So far the one that suits me is the Bloggeroid for blogger using android phones and gadgets.

There is no question about parishes adopting seminarians for apostolate this summer however there is a more advance information for.the priest they would like to stay.

This has some bearing because we have to analyze even the programs of our apostolate. Are we giving the formation of the apostolate to the ideals of which the problem of our parishes are encountering or are we inserting some global problems that might not be present in our situation? Are we not adoptive to the needs of the parishes of which they will b...

Translating to Vernacular!

I am being reminded that blogs should be updated regularly. One of my shortcomings. There a lot in my minds that has to be shared. Even if this will entail that nobody might be on the receiving end. Facebook has eaten my time and it has been my platform for sometime. However, this spot must not be compromise. One of the things I admire in Vietnam since our seminar on Summer Catechetical Institute for Priest hosted by Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines, Episcopal Commission for Catechetics and Catholic Education last April 20-24 is they translated the whole of the Divine Office in the Vietnamese Language. yes, we have translated a part of the Morning prayer, Noon prayer, Evening Prayer and Night prayer for a week in our native tongue but not the whole Divine Office. There is much to be done in Philippine situation. What can I do. I can pray that those who have expertise may be able to do something about it or hoping that there will be bishops who can see the need f...
