Below is the concept of the program for the Cancer group of the Parish of Saint Martin de Porres, discussed and prepared by the group. This is a propose group that will try to cater to the cancer patients within the parish. The endeavor started to progress because it is also a part of the apostolate to the sick as the patron saint St. Martin de Porres have tried to address. Well, there is no cancer patients then during his time. However, this is a group that almost of the sectors of the present society have tried to address. Yesterday, I saw a tarpaulin of one Baranggay calling for a breast cancer individuals for a seminar. I forgot the date, So, i ask the help of Sis. Luz Abuzo who acts as the president of the cancer group of the parish to investigate and if I am not mistaken that the seminar was held today to attend it hoping to see how to conduct such seminar and to observe intelligently. One of the program we encountered are the statistics or rather to look for the patien...

As I cleaning up my blog of some links that are no longer active as this moment, noticed that pinoyblogosphere is one of them. The last Facebook entry is 2009. It was created November 2004, the last update of the domain name was last 2013 that has expired last year. So the domain name is free for grab, I believe. It is one of the pioneering work to establish link within the Filipino Community. I hope there are others who replace it or at least substituted it in the blogosphere.

The feast of the Holy name of Mary is one of the feast we Filipinos celebrate that is peculiar to us. As I browse the United States Catholic Bishops Conference I have not find any indication that they are celebrating this feast. I believe, that it is extended to us as our history points out that our faith was handed to us through the Spaniards of which they have given an Indult to celebrate this feast since 1513 to the diocese of  Cuenca in Spain through the Pope Julius II. It was then celebrated with its own office every September 15.  With the reform of the Breviary by Saint Pius V in 1568, it was abolished.

Prayer for Priests Lord Jesus, you have chosen your priests from among us and sent them out to proclaim your word and to act in your name. For so great a gift to your Church, we give you praise and thanksgiving. We ask you to fill them with the fire of your love, that their ministry may reveal your presence in the Church. Since they are earthen vessels, we pray that your power shine out through their weakness. In their afflictions let them never be crushed; in their doubts never despair; in temptation never be destroyed; in persecution never abandoned. Inspire them through prayer to live each day the mystery of your dying and rising. In time of weakness send them your Spirit, and help them to praise your heavenly Father and pray for poor sinners. By the same Holy Spirit, put your word on their lips and your love in their hearts, to bring Good News to the poor and healing to the brokenhearted. And may the gift of Mary, your mother, to the disciple whom you loved, be your gift to ever...
