Before he could be locked up, three Dominican priests helped him seek asylum on board a ship headed for missionary work in Japan. Shortly after they arrived in Nagasaki, the Tokugawa Shogunate began persecuting Christians. Lorenzo and the three Dominican priests were arrested and tortured. They were told that they would be freed if they renounced Christianity. Lorenzo refused. He was quoted to say, “I am a Catholic and I wholeheartedly accept death for the Lord. If I had a thousand lives, all those I shall offer to Him.” Lorenzo was martyred in 1637 in Nichizaka Hill, Nagasaki, Japan, his body cremated, his ashes thrown into the sea.

  • Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz
    Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz Introduction What a joy to be with you this afternoon at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen to celebrate the feast day of two Filipino saints: San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calunsgod (kuh LUN sud). Warmest thanks to Dr. Ruben Ballesteros and Father Pete Literal for kindly inviting me to lead and take part in this celebration and in thanking you I extend my gratitude to Archdiocesan Filipino Council for your all that you do to foster the New Evangelization among the growing number of Filipino families here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. At the same time, I would like to welcome Couples for Christ and to thank you for all that you do to promote the vocation of marriage and family. And let us remember all those who lost their lives in Typhoon Haiyan as well as those who responded so heroically to that tragedy. We salute their faith, their courage, and their heroic love! Universal Call to Holiness The II Vatican Council clearly taught that every one of us is called to holiness. Indeed, something way deep down in us keeps telling us that we are made for more than this world can offer – whether it’s pleasure, riches, or power. We are made in God’s image and so we are really happy only when we reflect God’s love and share his friendship. And holiness is nothing other than sharing in God’s own life and love. In the Church we find all the means to holiness that we need, for in the Church we meet Christ and experience his love.

    pre teba po celý rok 2019 „Sviatok milosrdenstva vyšiel z môjho vnútra. Túžim, aby sa slávnostne slávil v prvú nedeľu po Veľkej noci. Ľudstvo nenájde pokoj, kým sa nevráti k prameňu môjho milosrdenstva.“ Denníček, Božie milosrdenstvo v mojej duši, článok 699, 24. 9. 1936 Odkaz Pána Ježiša cez svätú sestru Faustínu v Krakove v roku 1928: „Kým prídem ako spravodlivý Sudca, najprv prichádzam ako Kráľ milosrdenstva. Skôr ako nadíde deň spravodlivosti, ľuďom bude dané znamenie na nebi. Zhasne všetko svetlo na nebi a bude veľká tma po celej zemi. Vtedy sa objaví na nebi znak kríža a z otvorov, kde boli prebodnuté ruky a nohy Spasiteľa, bude vychádzať veľké svetlo, ktoré bude po nejaký čas osvetľovať zem. Bude to krátko pred posledným dňom.“ Denníček, článok 83 „Ó, krv a voda, ktorá si vytryskla z Ježišovho Srdca ako prameň milosrdenstva pre nás, dôverujem ti.“ Denníček, článok 84 Deň roka – Nedeľa Božieho milosrdenstva – 28. 4.

  • Filipino American Youth and Culture by Ed Tiong
    Filipino American Youth and Culture by Ed Tiong General Information The Republic of the Philippines, located off the southeast coast of Asia, is one of the largest island groups in the world, numbering 7,107 islands. The 1995 population was approximately 60.5 million, with fifty-five percent of the people living on the largest island of Luzon. Approximately eighty-five percent of Filipinos are Catholic, with large numbers of Protestants and Muslims. Filipinos comprise approximately 111 cultural and linguistic groups, mainly of Malayo-Polynesian origin. The ethnic make-up of the population has been greatly influenced by Chinese, Spanish, and Caucasian American intermarriages. Among the eleven language groups of the country, Filipino is the official national language which is native to the peoples of Central Luzon. The Philippines is, nevertheless, the third largest English-speaking country in the world. During the sixteenth century, Spain conquered the islands which they named for King Phillip II as "Las Islas Filipinas" or the Philippine Islands. After 327 years of Spanish domination, the Filipinos revolted, and won their independence in 1898. However, after the Spanish-American War, the United States controlled the Philippines until 1942, when Japan seized control until they were liberated by the Americans. Finally, in 1946, the American Congress granted independence to the Filipinos, and the second Republic of the Philippines was born. Filipino Migration Historians identify four major waves of Filipino migration to the United States. The first wave between 1898 and 1941 was comprised mostly of "pensionados" or scholars sent by the American government to U.S. schools, and large numbers of laborers recruited to work on farms in Hawaii and California.
