Ang ID ng mga Santo

Image
Mateo 5:1-12a — All Saints Day,  — November 1. Mateo 5:1-12a — "Ang ID ng mga Santo" Kapag All Saints Day, anong naiisip natin? Mga santo na nasa altar — nakaputing damit, may halo, hawak na palaspas, malayo, hindi maabot. Pero bakit binasa ng Simbahan ang Beatitudes sa Araw ng mga Santo? Hindi ba dapat yung mga milagro nila? Hindi ba dapat yung kabayanihan? Hindi. Binasa ang Beatitudes kasi ito ang ID, ang resume, ang mukha ng santo. At tandaan: Hindi ito 8 different kinds of saints. Ito ay 8 mukha ng iisang santo. Sa Bundok — Bagong Moises. "Nang makita ni Jesus ang makapal na tao, umakyat Siya sa bundok... at nagturo." Sa Mateo, kapag nasa bundok si Jesus — bagong Moises Siya.

Kumpisalang Bayan is what we commonly named the event where Confession is held in the parish through the help of the neighboring priests of the nearby parishes of religious institutions. this is to help the parish cope with the massive attendance of those who would like to receive the sacrament of reconciliation that we usually announced during the Lenten and Advent liturgical time.. This is not to substitute the regular time for parish confession schedules. We...

Wanted: Knights of the Altar

The youth have new way of inviting those who wishes to serve the Lord in the language they could easily understand. I Just hope that more young people will serve the Lord in a more diverse way including the vocation to the priesthood. We are being overrun by other religions and sects because we have handful of workers. Though, we believe in the inspiration and works of the Holy Spirit but it is also a part of the workings of the same Spirit that more young people will be activated to the vocation of priesthood. It will be mathematically impossible if one priest can administer a ten thousand parishioners. It will be more manageable if the number will be lessened if there are enough shepherds the faithful.
