It is about the extraordinary gift of God to the Filipino People of our Lady’s apparitions and miracles in 1948. Our Blessed Mother came to visit a postulant in a humble Carmelite monastery built on the bloodied ruins of Lipa following the closing days of the Japanese occupation. It is not hard to believe that our Blessed Mother chose to visit our country then out of love and compassion to heal Her suffering children, brutally traumatized by war and bloodshed.

    50 anni a servizio della Chiesa coi mezzi di comunicazione sociale La Famiglia Paolina dal 1914 al 1964 50 anni a servizio della Chiesa coi mezzi di comunica- zione sociale la famiglia paolina dal 1914 al 1964 edizioni paoline Con approvazione ecclesiastica © 1964 Pia Soc. S. Paolo, Via A Severo 58, Roma Per la celebrazione del 50° anniversario della Famiglia Paolina, i Nostri che mi hanno interrogato hanno ricevuto questa mia risposta: «Ciò che più è gradito al Signore e più utile all’Istituto, e a ciascuno, è questo: migliorare la pietà in ordine alla santità». Piacque al Signore di preparare a servizio della Chiesa e delle anime una Famiglia varia nelle mansioni, ma spiri- tualmente guidata dai Sacerdoti Paolini. Questa varia Famiglia è sempre uguale nello spirito: le devozioni a Gesù Divino Maestro, alla Regina Apostolorum, a San Paolo Apostolo. Le varie istituzioni hanno propri compiti, ma realmente uno è il loro fine: servire la Chiesa secondo i bisogni del tempo. Tali istituzioni sono nate secondo le necessità e le vie a- perte dal Signore. La preoccupazione è sempre stata questa: di unire la vita contemplativa all’attiva. La vita attiva ha la sua sorgente nella vita contemplativa. Altro pensiero che ha servito di guida è: l’uso dei mezzi odierni; e così adoperati da corrispondere ai bisogni attuali. 5 Le istituzioni sono: 1. La Pia Società San Paolo: nacque nel 1914; è composta di Sacerdoti e Discepoli. Per la conoscenza e pratica del cri- stianesimo si serve specialmente della stampa, cinema, ra- dio, televisione, dischi, ecc. 2. Le Figlie di San Paolo: Congregazione nata nel 1915, che ha medesimo fine ed opera collateralmente, particolar- mente per il ceto femminile.

  • Chapter Fourteen
    Chapter Fourteen Dawn Of A New Era (1945-1962) Period of reconstruction The period following the war was necessarily dedicated to salvaging whatever was left from the wreckage of war and to rebuilding the ruins of a glorious past. This applied not only to the material setup of the Seminaries, practically all of which were destroyed or badly damaged, but also to the Vincentian personnel in the Philippines who, were virtually decimated. Upon the death of the Provincial Visitor, Fr. Jose Tejada, C.M., the burden of that office fell provisionally by law upon his first Provincial Councillor, Fr. Teodoro Robredo, C.M. Thereafter, Fr. Robredo per­ sonally visited the various houses in the provinces, to get direct informa­ tion and to immediately acquaint himself with the situation. Looking with dismay upon the ravages left by the war Fr. Robredo tried to solve the most urgent problems first. For instance, to replace San Marcelino's beloved parish priest, Fr. Jose Fernandez, C.M., who was killed during the war, Fr. Robredo submitted the name ofFr. Jesus Ma. Cavanna. Fr. Cavanna then, received from the Archbishop of Manila, Mons. O'Doh­ erty, his appointment as rector of San Vicente de Paul, a parish without church nor convent then, and with very few parishioners. Fr. Cavanna stayed for some months, from February to June, at the Sacred Heart Hospital, which was located beside the Asilo de Looban, near San Marcelino. There he exercised the pastoral ministry as far as circum­ stances would allow, until he was called back to San Carlos Seminary in Mandaluyong.
