Solemnity of the Epiphany of Our Lord

Vol. XXII No. 002

Offer it Up!
(MY OWN PERSoNAL EpIpHANY)
Maria Antonette D. Pasquin

everal days after the Christ-Child was born, three wise men came to offer their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrhh. This day became known to the Christian world as the Epiphany. The momentous occasion also announced to the outside world the birth of the promised Messiah, through the word-of-mouth declarations of these three wise men among their kins on their return to their respective homelands. Who knows how many transformations of heart were born among the Hebrews and among these three wise mens kins who had for many centuries been awaiting the birth of this promised Messiah. Together with the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrhh, these transformations of heart are also gifts to the Christ-Child, perhaps more valuable and unquantifiable. Today, Christians over the world can also celebrate their own personal Epiphanies, offering to the new-born ChristChild their own personal transformations of heart on their journey of faith to holiness. My own personal Epiphany on this new year began when I saw the movie Pedro Calungsod: Batang Martir with my parents. We entered the almost empty cinema with only some five people watching the movie, At first, I was amused by the thought that unlike others who were queueing in other cinemas showing Vice Gandas or Bimbys movie, I was here to watch a film biography. I later realized the deeper implication of such reality I was seeing at that time: nowadays, more and more people would rather take for granted what could nourish their souls and instead seek the relative happiness brought by mundane entertainment and pleasure. I could not deny this fact because, I bet, I would also have been one of those people queueing for another movie if only we were not required at school to watch the film of Pedro Calungsod. Idolatry, lust, jealousy, hatred, anger, betrayal - these were just some of the many illnesses of man depicted in the film and which the missionaries, like Pedro

Calungsod, wanted to heal by introducing Christ to the natives of Isla de Ladrones, the barbaric Chamorros. All the sacrifices of the mission of Pedro, with Fr. Diego and several other lay persons, were truly heroic. As depicted in the film, as long as one has steadfast faith in God, nothing can really be deemed impossible. No wonder Pedro Calungsod became a saint, and was canonized last October 21, 2012. He truly proved to the world that it is still possible for the youth of today to step up and make a positive change. Perhaps the youth of today like me think that it is impossible to follow in the footsteps of our very own saint Pedro Calungsod. We always have the wrong notion that the path

to holiness is only for those who are in to the priesthood and religious vocations. Come to think of it, isnt everyone called to holiness? You and I belong to Christs family, for He himself has chosen us before the foundation of the world, to be saints, to be blameless in His sight, for love of Him, having predestined us to be His adopted children through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his Will (Eph 1,4-5). We may think we are too young and incapable of doing extraordinary things, but wasnt Pedro Calungsod also young when he responded to His vocation? To tread the path to holiness, we may not necessarily start with something big or heavy. Each small step can be a springboard towards

Viva Parol!

Rt. Rev. Higinio C. Velarde, Jr., JCD, PA.

Matuod may ara nga lainlain nga mga grupo nga nagakanta sa aton mga Misa, kag luyag ko tan-awon nga ining mga grupo indi lamang nagabulig sa pagpatahum sang aton pagsimba paagi sa ila pagkanta kundi nga nagabulig man sila sa pagpanguna agud nga ang tanan nga sumilimba magkanta man. Sa isa ka pulong, bisan nga wala sing grupo nga nagakanta, kon may ara nga isa nga nagalead ukon nagapanguna sa pagkanta, ang tanan magakanta man. ***** Bahin pa gid sini, amo ang mga may ara nga abilidad kag kinaalam sa pagtukar sang organ, ukon iban pa nga instrumento nga nagapanami pa gid sang kalantahon. Kinahanglan sang aton parokya ang mga volunteers nga magahalad sang ila tinion kag abilidad sa pagtukar mga organista. Isa pa gid ini ka paagi nga mahatag ang isa ka matahom nga regalo para sa komunidad. Bukas ang aton parokya, paagi sa Worship Ministry sa pagbaton sang mga may luyag magpasakop sa sini nga pagpangalagad. ***** Sa masunod nga mga isyu, akon pa gid agdahon ang mga may maalwan sing kabubut-on sa paghatag sang iban pa gid nga mga regalo nga sarang nila mahatag. Happy Three Kings sa tanan!!!

appy Three Kings! Amo ini sang una, kag bisan pa gani tubtob karon, ang panamyaw naton sa isa kag isa. Ginasaulog naton ang tatlo ka mga Mangin-alamon, Tatlo ka Hari, nga nag-abot halin sa Sidlangan, nga nagadala sang ila mga regalo para sa bag-o pa lamang ginbun-ag nga bata nga si Jesus bulawan, insyenso kag mira. Sa aton liturhiya, ini nga adlaw ginatawag Piesta sang Epipaniya. Ang tinaga nga Epipaniya nagakahulogan: Pagpahayag. Ang buot silingon sini amo nga ang Bata nga Dios ginapahayag sa bug-os nga kalibutan kag indi lamang sa kalibutan sang mga Hudiyo. Ang mga indi-Hudiyo ginatiglawasan sining mga Mangin-alamon. ***** Bisan nga ang paghatag sang regalo ginahimo sa bug-os nga panahon sang Christmas, kag ini nga adlaw bahin pa sang Christmas season, ginakabig sang iban nga ini nagakadapat nga himuon sa sini nga adlaw, tungod kay ang Three Kings nagdala sang ila regalo sa Bata. Sa iban nga mga pungsod, may mga pinasahi nga selebrasyon sa pagdumdom sini nga hitabu. Ano ang aton sarang maregalo sa Bata nga si Jesus? ***** Sa akon pagpanilag sa sitwasyon sang aton parokya, may pila ka mga bagay nga ayhan dapat man binagbinagon sang aton mga kautoran nga

katapo sang aton komunidad sang tumoluo. Indi gid man kinahanglan nga tama gid ka malahalon pareho sang bulawan, insyenso kag mira. Pero ayhan, may ara kamo nga mga tumalagsahon nga abilidad nga sarang mahatag halimbawa ang paghalad sang inyo kaugalingon ukon sang bahin sang inyo tinion sa pagsirbe sa aton mga utod paagi sa pagpasakop sa madamo nga mga ministries, ukon pagpangalagad nga ginahimo sang parokya. May apat ka dalagku nga mga ministries sa aton parokya ara ang Social Action Ministry, ang Worship Ministry, ang Education Ministry kag ang Youth Ministry. Sa sulod sining apat, ara ang mga pinasahi kag lainlain nga mga paagi sa pagpangalagad. Isambit ko lang ang isa: ang Music Ministry, sa idalom sang Worship Ministry.

he Jaro Parish Youth Ministry (JPYM) helped establish a ministry for children here in our parish. We invited children, 10 to 13 years of age, to sing during the Viva Parol. However, only the Barangay Tabuc Suba Proper responded to this invitation. The experience has helped the children a lot. It is a good idea to reach out to these children and train them on stage. Children can as well play and at the same time offer their talents to God. This has inspired the youth because of the challenge to wake up early every morning. This sacrifice has become an enjoyment while preparing for their presentation.

The children also participated in the Christmas Presentation last December 24, 2013 as they sung Christmas Carols. Also, they joined the choir at 6 pm Mass last December 29, 2013. They enjoyed singing and they have fun. They bear this in mind: Go, dont be afraid and serve. Pope Francis words were very clear: You are a gift and a treasure in the Church! Always convey the power of the Gospel! Do not be afraid! Always feel joy and enthusiasm for communion in the Church! (Angelus, 19 May 2013).

Tips for 9 Ways to Jump-Start Your Life Growth

Look for a Mentor. Finding someone who is doing what youd like to achieve can motivate youto go after what you want. Ramp up Your Faith. Trusting that youll get support from your higher power can provide the fuel you need to move forward. Faith is a power tool. Love Yourself. Self-love makes you want to take good care of yourself, which can help youget in shape. It also motivates you to go after what would make you happy. respond to Gods call to holiness but we also strengthen our relationship with Him as our Father. The call to holiness is not simply for a few people. It is a call for everyone rich or poor, young or old. Let us not simply settle for mediocrity when we can excel in what we do for it is one way of nurturing the gifts of what God has given us. It is one way towards holiness. Let us not be swayed by material things or what the world or other people dictate us. Let us not resort to something less just because everybodys doing it. Learn to stand up and make a positive change. We can all do these through the humble act of doing ordinary things and offering them up to our Lord. Let us all be inspired of the many saints that have striven for holiness in the simple ways possible. If theres a good summary of what I have written so far, I think it would be what Saint Josemaria Escriva once wrote in his book, Friends of God and let me end this by quoting it: Certainly our goal is both lofty and difficult to attain. But please do not forget that people are not born holy. Holiness is forged through a constant interplay of Gods grace and the correspondence of man. As one of the early Christian writers says, referring to union with God, Everything that grows begins small. It is by constant and progressive feeding that it gradually Be Kinder to Yourself. When you make the effort to be kinder to yourself, its easier to get past mistakes. Dont try to be perfect and accept your limitations without getting discouraged. Every act of self- kindness helps build self-love. Take the First Step. To accomplish a goal, you need to take the first step to reach it. Ask for Help. People pleasers do notlike to ask others for things they need. But its important to do that! Ask friends to let you know if they hear about a job opening or to encourage you to watch your eating. grows big. So I say to you, if you want to become a thorough-going Christian and I know you are willing, even though you often find it difficult to conquer yourself or to keep climbing upwards with this poor body of ours then you will have to be very attentive to the minutest of details, for the holiness that Our Lord demands of you is to be achieved by carrying out with love of God your work and your daily duties, and these will almost always consist of small realities. The lessons Ive learned from the movie Pedro Calungsod have given me so much transformations of heart that I pray will turn into personal virtues, and given realization through my transformed attitude with my fellowmen I hope to offer these transformed attitudes as gifts to our new-born Messiah on this day, the Solemnity of the Epiphany. Finally, let me ask you my friend, what is your own personal Epiphany this new year 2014. What gifts have you in mind to offer to the Christ-Child? What personal revelations has the new-born Christ-Child given you to jump-start your own journey of faith and holiness? Happy Epiphany to all!

Demonstrate Gods Love!

Fr. Nathaniel G. Gentizon

Be Realistic. Dont set goals that are too hard to achieve. Youll get discouraged and possibly stop trying if you dont see enough progress. Set Incremental Goals. Instead of deciding to lose 25 pounds, make your goal to lose five pounds. When you lose that, set another goal to losefive more pounds. Learn Something New. Taking a class to improve your skills or trying a new exercise class can help you advance at work or lose more weight.

few days ago, I opened the gifts I received from one of my Masses. I was blessed to receive many presents and one of them is a gift pack which contains Avon Products such as lotion, deodorant and powder. (Thanks to the giver you really want me to look good and smell good!) Modesty aside, since I couldnt use them all, I decided to give some to the beggars here in the Cathedral compound. When they opened the gift, they were so glad. They told me, Ay salamat gid Father, maka-pamulbos na kami sini. I responded, Ngaa, nagapamulbos pa kamo haw? Abi ko wala na kamo tion mamulbos. Ay, huo padre siempre nagapa-gwapa man kami And we were laughing. Their smiles revealed how happy they were because they have experienced Gods goodness and generosity. As we celebrate the Solemnity of Epiphany today, we rejoice because God manifests Himself through His incarnate Son, Jesus Christ, to all peoples especially the Gentiles (non-Jews). Just as God has revealed His immense and salvific love to us, we in turn are called to manifest this love to the people we encounter in our lives, like my experience with the beggars here in our Cathedral compound. Pope Francis would exhort us

always to go to the streets. For what? To roam around and enjoy the beautiful scenery? I dont think so! When we are called by our Holy Father to go the streets, he challenges us to go out from our comfort zones and meet people who are perhaps ignored, ostracized, maltreated and unevangelized. Our encounter with them can be an opportunity to make them feel and experience the immensity of Gods love and the genuine care and concern of the Church for them.

source: www.before-n-after.com

Our Holy Father in his Apostolic Exhoration, Evangelium Gaudii, would say, I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security. He also added, I do not want a Church concerned with being at the center and then ends by being caught up in a web of obsessions and procedures.

We can be agents of epiphany! We can demonstrate Gods love and reveal His abiding presence to others especially the poor and the needy. And we can also experience Gods love through them in return. May we respond to Pope Francis call for hands-on service to the poor and spiritual healing for alienated Christians and homeless families. ---ooo000ooo--We would like to commend the Parish Social Action Ministry for taking the initiative of making a survey of old and bedridden indigents within our parish, with the desire to reach out to them in the near future. If not for this initiative, many of our infirmed senior citizens could have been just forgotten and die without receiving their spiritual and even material needs. This effort can be an epiphany at its best! ---ooo000ooo--I would like to encourage all the faithful especially the parishioners to follow the column of our beloved parish priest, The Pastor Speaks. Let us allow his thoughts and sentiments to lead us to reflect deeply upon the events of our parish and to guide our attitudes and behavior so that there will be order and harmony among us.

our goal. We can start by repenting of our sins, going to Confession, and asking God for the forgiveness of our sins. It would truly be a great way to start 2014 right. We can then sanctify our lives by doing ordinary works in extraordinary ways. Offering each task we do every day to our Lord - doing it to the best of our ability with constant prayer is already a way to holiness. We may just be sweeping the floor or washing the dishes but if we are conscious of the presence of Christ in our lives, we can certainly strive for holiness. We may at first encounter challenges like the temptation of mediocrity or laziness, but as long as we ask God for the fortitude to be able take up our daily Cross, we can make it through the day. It is also important that we always bear in mind that the carrying out of our little duties for the day is our act of love for God. Such love for the infinite goodness of God should always be our source of strength especially in facing difficulties. In that way, we dont only

sa sining bata. Kada adlaw, aga pa nagalakat sa opisina ang mag-asawa, kag gab-i na sila nagapauli. Gani, sa bilog nga adlaw, si Claudia kag ang bata amo ang nabilin sa balay. Sa malip-ot nga panahon, nakuha ni Claudia ang simpatiya sang bata. Mas malapit pa ini sa iya sang sa iya mga ginikanan. Naluyagan pa sang bata nga magtulog upod sa iya. Kon gab-i, pagkatapos sang trabaho sa sulod sang balay, ginapatulog niya ang bata sing una, samtang sia nagapangamuyo sang Santo Rosario kag nagabasa sang Biblia. Apang, sa baylo nga magtulog ang bata, naga-upod ini sa iya sa pagpangamuyo kag naga-upod sia sa iya pagsimba sa adlaw sang Domingo. Sang ulihi, ginapangayo sang bata sa iya mga ginikanan nga magpabunyag bilang Katoliko, kag sa hinyo sang bata, ang iya mga ginikanan nagpabunyag man. Sa pagselebrar naton sang Epipaniya ukon Tatlo ka Hari, ang Dios nagpahayag sang Iya kaugalingon kag sang iya paghigugma sa aton paagi sa pagkatawo sang Iya Anak, ang aton Ginuong Jesukristo. Kabay pa nga ang kasaysayan ni Claudia magaiwag sa aton agod magtinguha pa gid kita sa pagpahayag kay Kristo, ang Kapawa sang katawhan sa aton panimalay, opisina kag sa diin man kita magtrabaho paagi sa aton maayo nga binuhatan.

hristmas break is one of the foreseen events of the seminarians of Jaro. Aside from vacation they spend time with their family and serve at Masses. Fifteen seminarians from Theology and Philosophy Department joined their new parish priest in a dinner last December 27 at the Jaro, Cathedral. During the event, the seminarians introduced themselves one-by-one to Msgr. Gene, after which he gave his message welcoming the seminarians and encouraging them to persevere in their formation to the priesthood. He added that this event is a good venue for seminarians to nurture their vocation to the priesthood. Furthermore, seminarians should look at their priests as older brothers because this is an on-going journey of vocation. In response, the seminarians thanked their older brothers, the priests, and the parish for continuously to inspire them to persevere in their vocation to the priesthood. This occasion is an opportunity for priests and seminarians of Jaro to gather and celebrate Christmas together. In one way or the other, this is a simple celebration that will nurture the seed of vocation among the seminarians of Nstra. Sra. De la Candelaria.

Ang mga Dumoloaw halin sa Sidlangan 1 Sang natawo na si Jesus sa banwa sang Bethlehem nga sakop sang Judea sa panahon nga si Herodes ang hari, may nag-abot nga mga tawo sa Jerusalem halin sa sidlangan, nga nakatuon sang mga bituon. 2Nagpamangkot sila, Diin bala ang bata nga natawo nga manginhari sang mga Judio? Nakita namon ang iya bituon sang pagsubang sini sa sidlangan, kag nagkari kami sa pagsimba sa iya. 3 Sang pagkabati sini ni Haring Herodes natublag gid sia kag amo man ang tanan nga mga tawo sa Jerusalem. 4Ginpatawag niya ang tanan nga pangulo nga mga pari kag ang mga manunodlo sang Kasugoan kag nagpamangkot sia sa ila, Diin bala magapakatawo ang Dios? 5 Nagsabat sila, Didto sa banwa sang Bethlehem, sakop sang Judea, kay amo ini ang ginsular sang propeta: 6 Ikaw, O Bethlehem, sa duta sang Juda, Indi ikaw ang pinakakubos Sa mga pangulo sang Juda, Kay sa imo magagikan Ang isa ka pangulo Nga magtuytoy sa akon mga tawo nga Israel. 7 Dayon ginpatawag ni

Herodes sing tago ang mga dumoloaw halin sa sidlangan kag nagpamangkot sia sa ila kon san-o gid man nagsubang ang bituon. 8Dayon ginpakadto niya sila sa Bethlehem kag ginsingganan, Lakat kamo kag pangitaa gid ninyo ang bata, kag kon inyo sia makita pahibal-a ninyo ako, agod makakadto man ako kag magsimba sa iya. 9sang makasiling sini ang hari naglakat sila. Sa gilayon nakita nila ang bituon nga nakita nila anay sa langit, gintipon sang Dios ang tanan nga mga Angeles kag nagsiling kari kamo, mamati kita sang pinakamatahum nga pangamuyo nga nagikan sa tagipusuon sang tawo nga nagahigugma sa akon. Leksiyon para sa sini nga Domingo indi ang matahum nga mga pulong sa aton pangamuyo ang makapahamuot sa Dios, kundi ang pagtinguha nga kita makapangamuyo nga nagaupod sa aton mga pangamuyo. Subong, ginasaulog naton ang Solemnidad sang Epiphania ang pagpahayag sang Dios ang Iya pagkita. Sa masami ini nga piesta ginatawag man naton ang piesta sang Tatlo ka Hari Three Kings. Kay sa Ebanghelyo mabatian naton sila nga nagkadto sa pagsimba sa bag-o nga hari. Sila ang mangin - alamon nga mga tawo nga nagbisita kay Jesus gikan sa sidlangan. Kapiestahan ini indi lamang sa pagpahayag ni Kristo sa Tatlo ka Hari. Subong man, kag ilabi nagid, piesta ini sang tatlo ka hari nga nagtinguha nga makita ang Kristo indi lamang ang pagpakita kundi ilabi nagid ang pagtinguha nga makita. Paninguha. May tatlo ka sahi sang tawo sa aton Ebanghelyo nga nagapangita kay Kristo si Herodes, ang mga mangin alamon sa templo kag ang

Dayon ginbuksan nila ang ila mga dala, kag nagdulot sila sa iya sang bulawan, insenso kag mira. 12 Ginapaandaman sila sang Dios sa damgo nga indi sila magbalik kay Herodes; gani nagpauli sila paagi sa lain nga dalan. ginakabig naton nga tatlo ka hari. Pero sin-o lamang ang nakakita ang tatlo ka hari. Ngaa, tungod kay sila lamang ang nagtinguha sa pagpangita kay Kristo. Ang Ginoo waay nagapaabot sa aton nga mangin Santos kita sa sulod lang sang isa ka adlaw kag indi kita pagkodenaron tungod kay kadamo sang mga kapalpakan naton sa kabuhi. Mahimo nga ang mga tawo magatawag sa aton nga pigado, palpak, waay waay apang ang Ginoo indi magkondenar sa aton tungod sina. Ang kondenaron amo yadtong mga tawo waay nagtinguha, yadtong mga tawo nga nagpangindi na nga waay pa gani ka sugod. Amo ini ang isa leksiyon sang Epipania ang tanan nga pagtinguha bisan pa indi mangin perfecto pagapadyaan sang Dios basta nagatinguha kita nga mabuhat sini suno sa aton masarangan.

Gospel are some of the themes which will be highlighted during this year. The Pastoral Exhortation on the Era of New Evangelization (July 3, 2012) indicates that The Year of the Laity is to be devoted to the renewal of the laity, to their empowerment or more accurately to activate their charisms so that they may take up their role as co-responsible agents of evangelization and lead in the task of social transformation. The Year of the Laity is the theme for the second year of the 9-year long intensive evangelization declared by the CBCP as preparation for 2021, the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines. Christianity arrived in the Philippines with Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. (Krystal Badayos)

Sent Forth as Heroes. Holiness of life, lay empowerment, unity in diversity, new evangelization, sanctification of temporal affairs with the spirit of the

anuary 2, 2014. While many people were off, celebrating the New Year at home with their families, Pope Francis was hard at work. He ushered in the New Year with several ceremonies at the Vatican. The celebrations kicked off on the last day of 2013 with the Vespers of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. In addition to giving thanks, the Pope asked Catholics to reflect what they had done for others in the past year. Pope Francis then visited the Nativity scene on display at St. Peters

CANDLE LIGHT (January 5 - 11, 2014)

Popes New Year message centered on Solidarity and Compassion for Others
Square. The Swiss Guard band played hymns as the Pope greeted some of the thousands of people gathered at the Square. Just a few hours later, in 2014, he re-emerged at the Basilica to lead the Mass of the Solemnity of the Mother of God. In his homily, he asked Catholics to entrust their journey of faith in the new year to Our Lady, the mother for all. New Years Day continued with the Angelus. Pope Francis greeted the thousands of pilgrims that filled St. Peters Square. The Pope referred to his message for the World Day for Peace. He said the best way to avoid violence and conflict is to build fraternity between all men and women. He mentioned a letter he received from a man describing a personal tragedy. In it, the writer asked the Pope what happened to the hearts of humans, to lead them to war and conflict. Pope Francis ended his New Years Day with a private visit to the Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he prayed before Romes patroness. That was his seventh visit to the Basilica in his 10-month papacy.

PRIESTS CELEBRATE NEW YEAR IN THE PARISH

Sem. Fremar Silva also expressed how happy he was to be assigned at the Cathedral because of the community of priests who support each other. At 12 midnight, they ended the prayer singing the traditional hymn, Auld Lang Syne while greeting one another with a warm brotherly embrace. Of course, New Year will never be complete without a Media Noche after a New Year toast proposed by no other than Archbishop Angel Lagdameo. Priests have also their own way of enjoying themselves. While others are blowing torotots, some would light pasirit and others would play on balloons , sat on them until they eventually blow up. Our Parish Priest, Msgr Higinio Velarde thanked all who came over, and Archbishop Lagdameo concluded the gathering with his short message and final blessing. The Parish has given simple presents to those who attended along with the looked forward gift from the Archbishop. Those who attended went back to their places of assignment with smiles on their faces for such a wonderful experience of family among the company of their brother-priests.

Pray for a Blessed New Year

o you also wonder how priests celebrate New Year? While this occasion is surely a family gathering for Filipinos, then how about for priests? Well, like many others, they too spend it with their families, their family of brother-priests. It has been many years since they started to celebrate New Year together. Priests assigned in Jaro Cathedral, Archbishops Residence , St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary and St. Joseph Regional Seminary would gather together to welcome the New Year. Each one of the participating communities take turns in hosting this yearly event. This year, its the turn of the Parish to host the occasion. As thanksgiving for all that have been, they started the activity with Holy Hour at the Legion Hall, from 11:00 pm - 12:00 midnight. Fr. Cirilo Camus was tasked to share about his life as a priest. He narrated the highlights of his experiences, lessons and resolutions. He

is nobody more forgiving and more considerate than God. The Lord knows that we are only human and that we are weak. He knows that we have pitfalls and so He is giving us the chance to go back to His graces through prayer. Let us throw away our pride and make piety and humility as our maintenance medicine. We must not claim to have a complete knowledge of our Religion. We have to understand that we need each other in order to be saved. If we are ashamed to go straight to God, let us ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom, knowledge and intelligence that may give us the code of salvation. We understand this, but, if we do not have the wisdom to apply them, we will go the wrong way. Pray to the Holy Spirit for wisdom to understand Gods commandments and the Words of the Gospel. Let us pray the Rosary daily and ask for the Blessed Mothers intercession so that we will see the path of salvation in every decade. Let us go to Mass as often as we can and understand the Gospel. We can even pray as we travel. Let us always keep God in our hearts and pray to Him that this coming New Year will see a positive change in our lives. We must remember that every moment is making us older. The activities we are having are simply entering us so that we cannot feel the hardening of our bones and the wrinkling of our skin. Nobody can say that he can out live any other human being. As we cross the thresholds of another year, let us build a new horizon of trust in God and a love for our neighbors. Let us change the map of our journey. Deviate from the road of bad inclinations and follow the path of devotion to God with prayers as the radiant light that leads our way. Forget vices. Practice neighborliness and positive values that can strengthen communities. Remove the clouds of selfishness and scatter the drops of charity and compassion. Throw away the seeds of jealousy and plant the beautiful stalks of community building. Let this coming New Year put a smile on the Lords face and inspire Him to wave His hands of protection over us keeping us away from sickness and plagues closing our eyes to destructive practices opening our eyes to the glories of heaven making us desire to live an eternity with Him when we leave this world moving around the choirs of angels singing praises for all eternity beginning with Happy New Year this Year!

yphoon Yolanda has left behind her a legacy of tears and heartaches, when she swept away big buildings and properties and even thousands of precious human lives. Aside from this dreadful calamity, there was the Pork Barrel Scam which shocked our country as news of dishonesty and financial greed was laid bare before us. As if these two national disasters were not enough to grieve us, cases of drug addiction came into view. From the smallest barrio to the biggest metropolis, crimes committed by drug addicts are made known by newspapers, radio broadcasts and other forms of communications. We were also hounded by heavy drinking, excessive smoking and gambling. Can we not make our country more peaceful by cutting down our vices and malpractices? Can we not turn to other activities that can build better relationships more understanding more cooperation more sympathy more love? There is no better medicine to our ailing relationships than prayer. There

HOPING FOR HOPE

Alberto H. Yanga

During Christmas people rejoice Because its mall sale for food, clothes and toys Plenty of the latest tech cellphone or tablet And its time also to change the old TV set. People like to wear when New Year comes Clothes with polka dots as lucky charm On the table are round fruits at 13 each To bring fortune and make us rich. The air is rocked with deafening explosions The sky is lit with blinding color fusions New year is greeted with lots of madness Everyone is happy, theres no room for sadness. But lost in these traditions are the spirit Of Christmas and Jesus Christs Birth Of New Year and the hope it brings The coming of our Redeemer, the King of all kings. And so I hope that people will understand How Christmas and New Year can be grand Renew our faith and remain hopeful For He has come, Jesus Our Lord and Savior!

Diin ini sa

ng pagsuksok sang sotana sang aton mga pari sa ila pagtuman sang ila balaan nga buluhaton isa sa mga butang nga ginapamatukan sang iban nga indi mga Katoliko. Nga-a kuno nagasuksok sila sini? Ara man bala ini sa Bibliya? Sin-o ang ginsundan sini sang mga pari sa ila pagsuksok sining mga malaba nga mga panapton? Bisan halin pa sa Daan nga Kasugtanan, ang Dios mismo nagmando sa mga pari nga naga-alagad sa Iya sa altar nga dapat magsuksok sang balaan nga mga panapton nga naga-kabagay sa ila balaan nga bulohaton. Aton ini mabasa sa Exodus 28, 2-4 kag himuan mo

Bibliya?

Nga-a naga sotana ang aton mga Pari?

Benje S. Pelobello sang balaan nga panapton si Aaron nga imo utod nga sa himaya kag katahum. Sa Bag-o nga Kasugtanan, maathag man nga si Jesus nagasuksok man sa pareho nga panapton sa Juan 19:23. Amo ini ang aton mabasa apang ang bayo niya walay tinahian, kay hinabol sing bug-os kutob sa ibabaw tubtob sa idalom. Kag aton man nahibaluan suno sa Hebreo 7:26 nga si Jesus isa man ka pari. Dugang pa gid, ginasiling sa Bugna 1,14, kag sa tunga amo ang kordero nga napanapton sang malaba nga panapton. Gani si San Pablo nagsiling sa 1 Corinto11:1 Magmanug-ilog kamu sa akon subong nga ako manug-ilog ni Kristo. Sa Bugna 7:9 si San Juan naghambal sang iya nakita didto sa langit nga nagasiling nakita ko ang dakung kadam-an sa langit nga napanaptan sang mga malaba nga panapton nga maputi. Kon sa bagay madali naton makilala kon sin-o kag ano ang isa ka tawo paagi sa uniporme nga iya ginasuksok kasubong abi sang doktor, manunudlo, pulis, nars kag iban pa. Paagi sa ila ginasuksok, madali naton sila makilala kag mahatagan sang nagakaigo nga pagtahod. Sa amo man nga kabangdanan ang aton mga relihiyoso nga mga lideres nagahimo sini kag sa akon pagtan-aw wala gid ini sing deperensya. Luwas lamang kon lakipan naton sang lain nga kahulagan tungod sang aton mga religious biases.
