Matuod nga Kahulugan sang
mga Sakramento sang Pag-ayo
masunod:
- Ang Santos nga Misa
amo ang sentro sang kabuhi sang
Kristianong Katilingban kag sang
tagsa ka tumuluo;
- Ang pagsimba kon
Domingo nagatipon sa aton
sa ngalan sang Dios nga
Amay, Dios nga Anak kag Dios
Espirito Santo. Maayo man ang
pagpangamuyo nga pribado pero
dapat gid magsimba kita upod
sang katilingban indi tungod ini
obligasyon kundi sa pagdayaw
kag pagpasalamat sa Dios sa
tanan Niya nga mga dulot;
- Kon mag-abot ang
bagyo kag mga pagtilaw sa aton
kabuhi, indi magdula sang pagtuo
kay ang Dios ara sa gihapon sa
pagbatak sa aton; kag
- Maghugpong kag
magtingob sa pagpas-an sang
aton krus kay ini nga paghugpong
wala sing maayo nga sadsaran
kon wala mapasad sa Dios.
Sa adlaw sang piesta, si Msgr.
Alejandro P. Esperancilla ang
nagpangulo sang Santos nga
Misa upod sanday Padre Julius
Almeria kag Philip Sinco. Ang St.
Joseph Regional Seminary Choir
ang naghatag duag sa amo nga
Misa paagi sa ila matahom nga
mga ambahanon. Madamo ang
nasukluban sang eskapularyo sang
Mahal nga Birhen sang Carmel.
Ini nga hilikuton nagtakop
sa isa ka Solemne nga prosesyon
palibot sa plaza sang Jaro kag
sang isa ka diskurso nga ginhalad
ni Reyneuel Labiano para kay
Seor San Roque.
Sa kabilugan, ang paghiwat
sang kapiestahan nangin
madinalag-on kay ang tagsa-tagsa
nagpa-ambit sang iya tion, talento,
ikasarang kag mga grasya nga
nabaton. Ini nagapamatuod nga
ang mga tumuluo nagtubo na sa ila
espiritwal nga kabuhi ilabi na ang
mga katapo sang Magagmay nga
Kristianong Katilingban(MKK).

Sa Nahauna nga Balasahon,
ginasaysay diri ang panugdaon
sang Dios kay Sibnah. Siling
sang Dios, kuhaon ko ikaw
bilang hari. Kag sa imo lugar
pagatawgon ko si Eliakim, kag
ibutang ko sa iya abaga ang bahi
sang balay ni David, kon iya ini
isira, wala sing may makabukas,
kon iya ini buksan, wala sing
may makasira.
Ining hitabo sa banwa sang
Israel makita man naton sa
pagtawag ni Jesus kay Pedro.
Si Jesus nagsiling. Ikaw Pedro
bato, kag itugyan ko sa imo ang
mga yabi.
Ang yabi nagasimbolo
sang awtoridad. Ang tawo nga
ginhatagan sang yabe, ang tawo
nga nagauyat sang yabe, amo
ang tawo nga ginhatagan sang
awtoridad. Ang yabe ginhatag
kay Pedro. Ginhatag sa iya
ang awtoridad nga nagahalin
lamang sa Dios. Gikan sa sini
nga awtoridad nga nagahalin sa
Dios ang Simbahan gintukod.
Gani indi ang aton luyag ang
nagadeterminar sang tanan diri
sa duta. Indi ang aton luyag ang
matuman, kundi ang pagbuot
sang Dios. Ang tanan luyag
naton, apang aton dumdumon
nga indi ini paluyag-luyag kundi
ang pagtuman sang pagbuot
sang Dios, kasubong sang
pagkakilala ni Pedro kay Jesus,
nga yadto nga pagkahibalo,
ginpabutyag sa iya sang Dios
nga Amay ang labing malahalon
kag importante. Bulahan ka,
Simon, anak ni Juan! Kay ini nga
kamatuoran wala ginpahayag sa
imo sang tawo, kundi sang akon
Amay sa langit.

Jesus kon sin-o Sia, handa
bala kita sa pagsabat? Ano
ang akon sabat?
2. Sa aton pagpanglakaton
bilang MKK, paano bala si
Jesus nagapakilala sang iya
kaugalingon sa aton?

Papal Envoy shares what he saw in Iraq, with Pope Francis
CBCP Launches Official Website and FB on Pope Francis Visit to PH
A
s preparations are underway
for Pope Francis coming to the
Philippines, that will take place
on January 15-19, 2015, the Catholic
Bishops Conference of the Philippines
(CBCP) has launched the official website
of the event.
The Papal Visit website (http://
papalvisit.ph/) features a countdown
clock that counts down the days until
Pope Francis arrival. The official logo of
the visit, as well as its theme, Mercy and
Compassion, is also shown alongside a
A
ugust 21, 2014. Cardinal Fernando
Filoni personally saw what
minorities are facing under the
persecution of the Islamic State. Now
back in Rome, the Popes personal envoy
shared what he saw and what can be
done to help.
They told me what they felt in their
hearts and I shared those accounts with
Pope Francis. I was able to see what they
saw, fromthe challenges to the suffering.
As the Popes personal envoy to Iraq,
Filoni says the Pope didnt want his visit
to be a diplomatic mission, but rather a
humanitarian and spiritual one.
He heard different accounts of those
who were forced out of their homes from
one day to the next. Christians and other
minorities shared the threats they faced
at the hands of Islamic Militants.
They told us, you can either convert
or die. Those who fled started a long
painful journey, but many were killed.
Amid all the tragedy and pain, there
are also accounts of local churches
opening their doors and people helping
out with logistics in the refugee camps.
In those type of temperatures,
there were no bathrooms or showers,
picture of the Pope.
Scrolling down the page, one can see pictures
of six children from areas affected by Typhoon
Yolanda welcome Pope Francis with handwritten
drawings. During his visit, the Pope is expected
to visit the areas devastated by the strongest
typhoon ever recorded to hit land.
The website also presents the official song
We Are All Gods Children, which includes a
choreographed routine.
The site includes the official prayer, which
will be recited before the Post Communion Prayer
in every Mass celebrated in the country from
August 1, 2014 until January 14, 2015.
St. John Paul IIs historic visit to the
Philippines in 1995 is also featured. Pope
Francis visit will coincide with the 20th
anniversary of the record-breaking 10th
World Youth Day celebrated in Manila
that same year. With 5 million people in
attendance the World Youth Day in1995
was the largest in its history.
A very important feature of the
website is the CBCPs Pastoral Letter
to Prepare the Filipino People for the
Apostolic Visit of Pope Francis.
In the Pastoral Letter, the bishops
emphasized that it is not the logistics,
security and infrastructure that best
prepare us for the papal visit. Instead,
the bishops invited Filipinos to be like
Pope Francis in his humility and his
compassion to make his apostolic
journey of mercy to be ours even before
he arrives.
An official Facebook page for Pope
Francis visit to the Philippines is also
available at https://www.facebook.com/

P
rayers are doing wonders. God in His
great mercy, is opening His heart and
His graces fall down upon us in order to
make us real Christians. Many of us are now
opening the doors of their positive values and
send them to places where they are needed.
Charity is beginning to spread.
Educational institutions are now
removing the germs of negative values and
are now erecting the pillars of community
building. Careful and observant, they are
emphasizing all means to produce students
who can become very beautiful examples in
community building in communications, and
ingood relationship. Speech competitions like
oration, declamation and extemporaneous
speaking are now having themes, that are
based on beautiful values which inspire and
enhance brotherhood, charity, thoughtfulness,
decency and compassion which are becoming
strong pillars of national recovery. School
officials, teachers and students are now tying
a rope of unity and understanding fromhome
to school- to community.
Not to be outdone, the government is
doing its share in making Iloilo beautiful
again. A few days ago, a barangay councilor
and a woman who was holding a syringe,
knocked at our gate. I didnt know them and
so I asked who they were looking for and
what they wanted. They told me that they
were instructed to inject stray dogs and even
those in the home, to prevent the spread of
rabies lives we alighted that would endanger
the people. This is something.
While they were talking, a dump truck
came and there were men who came down
and removed the trash from the road.
Environmental pollution is now beginning to
be taken cared of. This will lessen unsightly
surroundings and reduce the diseases caused
by mosquitoes and flies and other insects.
Most of all, apostolates are taught at
the Jaro Cathedral, from adults to children,
and conferences and reports are made every
Sunday to see howmuch have been done, and
what else must be done.
Last Sunday, during the eight oclock
mass, Msgr. Esperancilla, explained the
beauty of Christian cooperation, patterned
after the work of the apostles and disciples
of Christ an example of obedience to
Gods commandments, and the beauty of
brotherhood and concern.
If all governmental units are responsible
for keepingIloilo peaceful and cleanmaterially
and environmentally, let us also look into the
depths of our own being and see what we can
do fromhome to community.
Let us use our tongue to teach our
children and other people around us in our
home to talk to God first when we wake up
in the morning and pray for His guidance as
we relate with others. Let us be examples of
environmental cleanliness in our community
and in Christian relationship as we go out of
the privacy of our home. Let us bring God to
other people and make our presence a source
of real friendship. Let us be disciples of Christ
in our own simple way and help spread the
gifts of Christianity. Let us not count the good
that we do to others rather, the good that
Gods gifts is giving to us; our tongue to speak
- our feet to go our hands to do our minds
to think our hearts to feel and to give love
and charity, and to emblazon brotherhood.
Jesus, Cephas is Kepha, meaning Rock.
In Aramaic, Kepha is used both for the
name of a person and for rock.
Since Jesus was talking to Peter in
Aramaic, Jesus changed Simons name to
Kepha or Cephas. In the native Aramaic
language of Jesus, Kepha means Rock.
Jesus must have said to Peter, You are
Kepha and upon this kepha I will build
my Church.
By changing Simons name to Peter,
Jesus had concretized Peters role that
he should become the leader of His
Church. In the Old Testament we find
God the Father changing peoples names
whenever he appointed them for special
missions. Abram (exalted father in
Hebrew) was changed to Abraham
(father of the multitudes). Jacob
(supplanter) was changed to Israel
(One who prevails with God).
In Isaiah 51:1-2, we find this parallel
between Abraham and Peter, which says,
you who seek the Lord; look to the
rock from which you were hewn,,,Look
to Abraham your father. Abraham and
Jacob are the forerunners of Peter and his
ascendancy, as the acknowledged bishop
of Rome, the Pope, as we know him to be
today.
After changing Simons name to
Peter, Jesus seals Peters ascendancy
of leadership by saying to Peter, I will
give you the Keys to the Kingdom
of Heaven. Whatever you bind on
earth shall be bound in Heaven; and
whatever you loose on earth shall be
loosed in Heaven.
Here, Jesus was very specific. After
establishing Peter as head of His Church,
He gives him the Keys, and establishes
Peters authority to state what is
allowed and what is forbidden; to decide
who belongs and who do not belong to
the body of believers; and what is, or is
not the faith of the Church. {Christian
Comm. Bible (St. Pauls\Claretian,1999)
NT, p.44).
After Jesuss Resurrection, the
Apostles also received the power to
forgive sins, and we find this in John
20:22-23. This power to forgive is
today handed over to anointed priests
of the Church, and is given to Catholics
through the Sacrament of Confession.
God the Father, in His Omniscience
and Omnipresence, wills that Jesuss
Church would need a visible head to
lead the people, to see them through
succeeding generations; this visible
leader would need successors to keep
the Church in continued evangelization,
and to set the course inspired by the Holy
Spirit.
From Peter and the Apostles in the
early Church, these successors are present
withus todayinthePopeandinthepriests
of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
