WORLD YEAR OF FAITH from October 11, 2012 – November 24, 2013.
PRAYER FOR PRIESTS.
Divine Saviour, Jesus Christ, who have entrusted your work of redemption to the priests, who take your place on earth. I offer you, through the hands of your most holy mother for the sanctification of your priests and future priests this whole day, all my prayers, works, joys, sacrifices and sufferings. Give us saintly priests. Grant to them apostolic hearts, filled with love for you and all the souls belonging to you, so that, being themselves sanctified in you, they may sanctify us who are entrusted to their care and bring us safely into heaven.
Loving Jesus, bless all their prayers and words at the altar and in the confessional, in the pulpit, in the school and at the sickbed. Call many young men to the priesthood and monastic life. Protect and sanctify all who will become your priests. And grant to the souls of the priests who have departed this life, eternal rest. And to you, Mary, Mother of all priests, take them under your special protection and lead them ever to the highest priestly sanctity. Amen.
GRACE OF FORGIVENESS.
A Gospel Reflection on 5th Sunday of Lent, March 17, 2013.
Madalas sa buhay natin kapag may nagkasala ay hinahatulan na natin. Mabilis tayong humatol sa mga taong nagkakasala.
SINO BA SA ATIN ANG WALANG KASALANAN?
LAHAT TAYO AY MAKASALANAN, WALA SA ATIN ANG MALINIS.
Kaya wala tayong karapatan na maghusga sa ating kapwa.
Isang napakagandang halimbawa nito ay nakita natin dito sa Ebanghelyo (John 8:1-11) ngayong araw na ito ng 5th Sunday of Lent, March 17, 2013. Nakita natin dito ang isang babaeng nahuli sa pangangalunya at gusto siyang patayin ng mga tao sa pamamagitan ng pagbabato.
ANO ANG GINAWA NI HESUS SA BABAENG ITO?
HINDI NIYA HINATULAN ANG BABAENG ITO, BAGKUS AY PINATAWAD PA NIYA ANG BABAENG ITO.
Pinairal ni Hesus ang kanyang pagmamahal sa mga makasalanan.
Ito ang diwa ng kuwaresma – ang PAGPAPATAWAD NG DIYOS.
Ito ang dahilan ng pagpapasakit ng panginoon, inalay niya ang kanyang buhay sa krus ay para patawarin tayo sa mga kasalanan na ginawa natin.
Ito ang dahilan kung bakit itinatag ni Hesus ang simbahan ay para sa mga makasalanan.
Kaya ito ang tungkulin ng simbahan,
ANG MAGLIGTAS NG MGA KALULUWA.
Kaya nga meron mga Sakramento gaya ng Misa, Kumpisal at iba pa ay para matanggap natin ang grasya ng diyos, ang grasya ng kanyang kapatawaran.
