priest

The Church in union with our Lord Jesus Christ has the obligation to proclaim the Good News of salvation throughout the whole world and even to the universe at large that is to the end of the world. One of the ministry of which the laity participates in this endeavor along with other ways such as in teaching the members of the family about the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ is helping the priest in the liturgy to make the written word of God be heard in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. proclaiming the Word of God as one reads the passage or passages of the written word of God from the Old Testaments, Psalms and the New Testament. Helping the faithful to participate in the solemn celebration of Christ's presence in our midst, the commentators and the lectors are here to commune as God's voice proclaiming His presence and messages to guide our daily life. Sometimes, it is to be noted that the faithful should not only hear the Gospel the priest proclaim but also the ...

Fellow members of the Diocesan Catechetical Commission of San Pablo has instructed me to give a talk for the ongoing formation of the speakers bureau of the commission this coming July as an introduction for the Year of the Laity: Choose to be brave, called to be saints and sent forth as heroes.

Una Fides Clarifications on the Celebration of Religious Processions During Holy Week (P.No. DCL-007-11)   There is one faith, one baptism, one Lord of all.  The call of the bishop to all clergy and laity alike is the voice of Christ that calls the flock into the one sheepfold. This call for unity is found in its utmost expression in the celebration of the liturgy most especially the Paschal Triduum. In the past the former pastors of the diocese had labored hard so that the celebrations and expressions of devotions held most especially during holy week be in accordance to the norms of true liturgical life. Though important and still valid, another consideration is to be added to the former. This consideration is in the mind of the present shephered of the diocese so that those who desire to interpret the past pronouncements may be able to fully understand it in light of the true Spirit of the liturgical norms. Sacrocanctum Consilium states; “ Devotions proper t...
