Psalm 27 El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación. Salmo 27 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT MARCH 17, 2019 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT PAGE 2 PASTOR’S COLUMN Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, “A deep, terrifying darkness enveloped him …” Genesis Humanity is besieged by a terrible reality called sin. We are made beautifully, in the im- age of God, but our existence has been distorted by the mysterious reality of sin, of offen- sive selfishness. We see this in all the strife and suffering in the world. Death hangs over us constantly. The sacred time of Lent calls us to confront this reality personally and as a community. A deep relationship with God, with the Trinity, with our Lord Jesus Christ saves us, lifts us from the tragedy of sin. Only in God do we find salvation. As we encounter Him, He gives us His glory. The disciples in the Gospel, broken men, saw the glory of God. “While Jesus was praying … His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white … the disciples saw His glory …” Luke As we journey through life, on this earth, these spiritual moments fill us with Faith, Hope and Love. There is salvation! We are called to a full life as we move along towards Heaven. “Our citizenship is in Heaven …” Philippians Lord, be with us, teach us to pray!

But as Filipino Christians with endless faith in our God, we are duty-bound to ask, despite the hopelessness around us, the following questions: z Can something still be done? z Are we doomed as a nation? z Has God abandoned this country? z Does the Word of God to the prophet Jeremiah still apply to the Philippines today? “For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) 32 1 I.

Without them this dissertation would not have been possible. Second, I would like to thank members of my dissertation committee for their suggestions and advice throughout the project. In particular, Michael Young lent sage advice to both the arguments and their presentation. Additionally, Michael’s work on cultural schemas provided a key starting point for my own theorizing of religious effects on Filipino-American civic life. Chris Ellison provided invaluable assistance in the statistical analysis and likewise helped to further shape both the arguments and their presentation. Chris also made crucial suggestions about the future directions of the project.

  • Abp. Soc Calls Priests to Be 'Real Witnesses Amid Threats
    CBCP APRIL 15 - 28, 2019, VOL 23, NO.Monitor 08 [email protected] PROTAGONIST OF TRUTH, PROMOTER OF PEACE Abp. Soc calls priests to be ‘real witnesses amid threats By Roy Lagarde PRIESTS are called to face “these dreary times of darkness” by being “real witnesses” amid “an angry disbelieving society,” a church official said on Holy Thursday. Those priests, said Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen- Dagupan, should also not be afraid to die or be killed for the Lord. “Brother priests, make friends with death. Let death not threaten you,” Villegas said in his Chrism Mass homily at the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Dagupan City. “The call to the priesthood is a call to die. It is clear. There is no priesthood without victimhood,” he said. To drive his point, the archbishop said that there’s nothing surprising with priests being threatened with death. In the first place, he said that priests should not have accepted ordination if they were afraid to die or be killed. “Death is not a threat. It is our destiny,” said Villegas, who is also a former president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines. Archbishop Socrates Villegas embraces a priest as he celebrates the Chrism Mass at the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Dagupan City April 18. COURTESY OF SABINS STUDIO Witnesses / A6 Pampanga’s old churches PH bishops condemn Sri Lanka attacks closed after earthquake CATHOLIC leaders in the Philippines joined the international community in condemning a series of blasts in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.
