Sundin ang loob mo dito sa lupa para nang sa langit.

Sumasampalataya Ako (Apostle's Creed)
Sumasampalataya ako sa Diyos Amang makapangyarihan sa lahat, na may gawa ng langit at lupa.
Sumasampalataya naman ako kay Hesukristo, iisang Anak ng Diyos, Panginoon nating lahat.Nagkatawang tao Siya lalang ng Espiritu Santo, ipinanganak ni Santa Mariang Birhen.
Pinagpakasakit ni Poncio Pilato, ipinako sa krus, namatay, inilibing.
Nanaog sa karoroonan ng mga yumao. Nang may ikatlong araw nabuhay na mag-uli.
Umakyat sa langit, naluluklok sa kanan ng Diyos Amang Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
Doon magmumulang paririto't maghuhukom sa nangabubuhay at nangamamatay na tao.
Sumasampalataya naman ako sa Diyos Espiritu Santo,
Sa Banal na Simbahang Katolika, sa kasamahan ng mga banal;
Sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan, Sa pagkabuhay na mag-uli ng nangamatay na tao,
At sa buhay na walang hanggan. Amen.

A Pastoral Letter and a Call to Prayer
"Sow
for yourselves justice, reap in mercy. Break up for yourselves a new
field, for it is time to seek the Lord, till he comes and rains justice
upon you.
Hosea 10:12"
Hosea 10:12"
Dear Fellow Filipinos,
A few days ago, we received a letter from His Eminence, Charles Cardinal Maung Bo, Archbishop of Yangon, Myanmar and President of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences. It was an ardent request for prayers for Hongkong, on account of the signing into law of a new National Security Act. He explained in his letter how this new law poses a threat to the basic freedoms and human rights of the people of Hongkong, and how it potentially undermines especially their freedom of expression.
Apparently, the Chinese government assures the people of Hongkong that they have nothing to be afraid of, as long as “they don’t get involved in any activity that threatens national security.” Why does this sound eerily familiar to us Filipinos? Because we are in a similar situation. And so, while we responded with an assurance to His Eminence, Cardinal Bo, that we would join him in praying for the people of Hongkong, we also asked him to pray for the Philippines and explained why we are as seriously in need of prayers as the people of Hongkong. Like them, we are also alarmed about the recent signing into law of the Anti-Terror Act of 2020.
We are still in disbelief about the manner in which the contentious Anti-Terror Bill was fast-tracked and approved in both Houses of Congress while the whole country’s attention was focused on the Covid-19 pandemic. They did not even seem to care that many of the people they represent were against it—lawyers’ associations, the academe, the business sector, labor groups, youth organizations, NGO’s, political movements, faith-based communities, and even the Bangsamoro government.
The dissenting voices were strong but they remained unheeded. None of the serious concerns that they expressed about this legislative measure seemed to be of any consequence to them. Alas, the political pressure from above seemed to weigh more heavily on our legislators than the voices from below. It only made more evident the blurring of lines between legislative and the executive branches of our government.
In particular, the legal experts and constitutionalists in our country are seriously concerned that this newly signed law has many elements that are “oppressive and inconsistent with our Constitution.” They have pointed out convincingly how this new law poses a “serious threat to the fundamental freedoms of all peaceful Filipinos.”
And yet, the people in government and their allies have dismissed these fears as unfounded. The assurance that they give sounds strangely parallel to that which the Chinese government gave to the people of Hongkong: “Activism is not terrorism. You have no reason to be afraid if you are not terrorists.” We know full well that it is one thing to be actually involved in a crime and another thing to be merely suspected or accused of committing a crime.
Have we not heard of people active in social advocacies who are accused of being communists? Have we forgotten the bishops, priests and religious who were included among those falsely charged by the Philippine National Police with crimes of sedition and inciting to sedition? Are we not aware of the thousands of people who have been killed in police operations on the basis of mere suspicion of involvement in criminality and illegal drugs? Have we not followed the news about Senator Leila de Lima who continues to languish in jail, also on the basis of mere allegations? Have we not heard of media personalities being harassed by a multitude of criminal charges? Have we not felt the chilling effect of the closure of the country’s biggest broadcast network, the ABS-CBN, after being denied renewal of its franchise? Is it not evident to us how this pattern of intimidation creates an atmosphere detrimental to the freedom of expression in our country?
In the midst of this bleak political landscape, we draw consolation from the groups of lawyers and ordinary citizens that have filed petitions before the Supreme Court, questioning the constitutionality of the newly signed law. Will the highest level of our Judiciary assert its independence, or will they, too, succumb to political pressure?
The return of “warrantless detentions” through this new law cannot but remind us of the initial moves in 1972 that eventually led to the fall of democracy and the rise of a dictatorial regime that terrorized the country for fourteen years. It all began when an elected president also legalized the “ASSOs” (arrest, search and seizure orders). It was from there that we gradually sank into the mire of authoritarian rule. Knowing how, in just the recent past, the law has been used too many times as a weapon to suppress legitimate dissent and opposition, we cannot but share in the apprehensions expressed by the lawyers and ordinary citizens that filed the petition against the said infamous law before the Supreme Court.
While a semblance of democracy is still in place and our democratic institutions somehow continue to function, we are already like the proverbial frog swimming in a pot of slowly boiling water. We draw encouragement from the belief that in various government agencies we still have many people of good will whose hearts are in the right places, and who remain objective and independent minded. We have nothing but admiration for these public servants in all branches of government who do only as conscience dictates and do not allow themselves to be intimidated or prevented by political pressure from performing their constitutionally mandated duties. We can only wish that there would be more of them. They are an important element to the strengthening of our government institutions, and are an essential key to a stable and functional democratic system.
Allow us then to end this letter by inviting you to pray with us,
“Be with us O Lord our God, as we continue to face the ravages of the Covid-19
pandemic, as well as the recent political developments that have deeply divided
our country. You know how desperately we need to be united in order to fight a
common unseen enemy that has caused a lot of sufferings and uncertainties,
widespread infections, an overwhelmed health care system, loss of jobs, hunger,
immense losses in business, and loss of lives.
We pray for our public servants, our people in government, especially those
among them who remain upright and continue to be motivated by a genuine
sense of duty and love for country. Protect them, Lord, and give them the
courage to stand their ground on the side of truth and justice.
May the crisis brought about by the pandemic bring about conversion and a
change of heart in all of us. May it teach us to rise above personal and political
loyalties and make us redirect all our efforts towards the common good. May we
be guided by your Spirit to respond with mercy and compassion for the poor, the
disadvantaged and the most vulnerable sectors of our society. For we know that
what we do for the least of our brothers and sisters we do for you. AMEN.”

Espirituwal Na Pagtanggap Ng Komunyon
Espirituwal Na Pagtanggap Ng Komunyon
Aking Hesus, nananalig akong ikaw ay nananahan
sa Pinakabanal na Sakramento. Mahal kita nang higit sa lahat ng bagay,
at nais kong tanggapin ka sa aking kaluluwa.
Subalit sa sandaling ito ikaw ay hindi ko
matatanggap sa Banal na Komunyon.
Nawa’y tanggapin kita nang espirituwal
sa aking pagnanais na ito at pumasok ka sa aking puso.
Niyayakap kita na parang naririto ka na sa akin,
at pinagkakaisa ko ang aking sarili sa iyo.
Huwag mong hayaang ako ay mawalay sa iyo.
Amen.
Hilumin Mo, Bayan Ko Lyrics
Hilumin Mo, Bayan Ko
Kung ang bayan ko ay mininikluhod
Sabay sabay sa pagsamo
Sa pangalan ko maninikluhod
At tatalikdan ang di wasto
Sa langit diringgin ko
Patawarin ang sala niyo
Sa tuwina'y diringgin ko
Hihilumin ang bayan niyo
Panginoon, hilumin mong bayan ko
Aming samo magbalik ang bayang ito sa iyo
Panginoon, dinggin at hulumin mong bayan ko
Patawarin mo't hilumin ang bayan ko
Kami po ngayon ay sumasamo
Dalangin ng aming puso
Sa pangalan mo maninikluhod
At tatalikdan ang di wasto
Aming diyos sa iyong awa
Patawarin sa'ming sala
At nawa'y kami'y dinggin
Bayan namin ay hilumin
Panginoon, hilumin mong bayan ko
Aming samo magbalik ang bayang ito sa iyo
Panginoon, dinggin at hulumin mong bayan ko
(Jamie Rivera)
Sabay sabay sa pagsamo

Panginoon, hilumin mong bayan ko
Aming samo magbalik ang bayang ito sa iyo
Panginoon, dinggin at hulumin mong bayan ko
Patawarin mo't hilumin ang bayan ko
Kami po ngayon ay sumasamo
Dalangin ng aming puso
Sa pangalan mo maninikluhod
At tatalikdan ang di wasto
Aming diyos sa iyong awa
Patawarin sa'ming sala
At nawa'y kami'y dinggin
Bayan namin ay hilumin
Panginoon, hilumin mong bayan ko
Aming samo magbalik ang bayang ito sa iyo
Panginoon, dinggin at hulumin mong bayan ko

Panalangin Para Sa Kapayapaan
Panginoon, sa panahon ng pangangailangan ay humihingi kami ng tulong bunga ng aming pagkamulat sa nagbabantang pagkawasak ng kapaligirang ipinagkaloob Ninyo sa amin, bunga ng malawakang paglalaban ng ideolohiya sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo.
Pagkalooban Ninyo kami ng sapat na lakas upang maipalaganap ang kabutihan, katarungan, pagmamahalan, at kapayapaan.
Sa gitna ng labanan, ituro Ninyo sa amin ang pagtutulungan;
sa kasaganaan, ang pagbibigayan;
sa karalitaan, magkaroon po sana ng maayos na pamumuhay.
Kung mangingibabaw ang pagkamakasarili, ituro Ninyo sa amin ang kababaang-loob; sa kawalan ng katarungan, matutunan sana namin ang pagsisisi at pagbabalik-loob sa Diyos.
Kung may di pagkakaunawaan, magkaroon po sana ng pagkakasundo at pagkakaisa; sa kawalan ng pag-asa, maihatid po sana namin ang Mabuting Balita.
Turuan Mo kaming kumalinga sa halip na kalingain; maglingkod sa halip na paglingkuran. Huwag po sana kaming maghangad ng karangyaan at punuin Ninyo kami ng Inyong pag-ibig at kaluwalhatian.
Pahintulutan Ninyo kaming maging katulad Ninyo sapagkat sa ganitong paraan lamang namin matatagpuan ang tunay na kahulugan ng buhay na makapagbibigay sa amin ng bagong pag-asa.
Amen.
O Maria, Reyna ng Kapayapaan.

Prayer for Peace
Lord Jesus, we come to you in our need. Create in us an awareness of the massive forces of conflict that threaten our world today.
And grant us a sense of urgency to activate the forces of goodness, of justice, of love, and of peace.
Where there is armed conflict, let us stretch out our arms to our brothers and sisters.
Where there is abundance, let there be simple lifestyle and sharing.
Where there is poverty, let there be dignified living and constant striving for just structures.
Where there is selfish ambition, let there be humble service.
Where there is injustice, let there be atonement.
Where there is despair, let there be hope in the Good News.
Where there are wounds of division, let there be unity and wholeness.
Help us to be committed to the building of your kingdom, not seeking to be cared for but to care; not expecting to be served but to place ourselves in the service of the others; not aspiring to be materially secure but to place our security in Your love.
Teach us Your spirit, for it is only in loving imitation of You, Lord, that we can discover the healing springs of life that will bring about new birth to our earth and hope for the world.
Amen.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace.
Pray for us.
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I
love You above all things and I desire You in my soul. Since I cannot
now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
As though You were already there, I embrace You and unite myself wholly
to You; permit not that I should ever be separated from You. Amen.
