The Destiny of the Philippines Notes C. Three basic attitudes needed as we study our nation’s A. God created each nation with a purpose history z Everything that God created has a purpose, even nations. As we seek to understand God’s purpose for our nation through God created each nation with a purpose.

  • St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Parish Community
    St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Parish Community “Where Earth meets Heaven” Our Mission Statement As a welcoming community, we celebrate our life, conscious of our multi-ethnic traditions, vowing unity with Christ in our multi-cultural differences. We usher in our lives (being evangelized) and proclaim (as evangelizers) the reign of God as Priests, Prophets and Kings, and in so doing, we celebrate our discipleship in Christ Jesus. We extol “being Church” through the formation of Small Faith Communities as a way of life in being priests, prophets and kings; thus, we become economically stable and self-reliant as we give special attention and solicitude to our youth and the needy. “They were faithful to the teaching of the apostles, the common life of sharing, the breaking of bread and the prayers.” (Acts 2:42) A message from Fr. Tony St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Parish Community “Where Earth meets Heaven” To our dear servant leaders, 747 Meadowpass Road I join the Apostle Paul and his letter to the Philippians: “I Walnut CA 91789 Phone (909) 595-9545 thank God whenever I think of you and everytime I pray Fax (909) 594-3940 for you all, I always pray with joy…” Phil 1:3 www.saintlorenzo.org Thank you, thank you and I cannot thank you enough on behalf of our community for serving as servant leaders for Rev.

(Bianca Grade 5 Manlapaz) "Family Virtual Connection" This art is trying to show that visually, the connection of family to patient through technology or virtual connection leads to hope and improved state of being (faster recovery) in addition to the physician and nurse care. In this art, aside from showing the family connection, other elements are shown such as two kids praying to God. St. Henry Catholic This is ultimately God connection.

  • Focus on Asia)
    HOW DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DEAL WITH THE NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY? (FOCUS ON ASIA) John Mansford Prior, SVD* The question posed in the title can be answered only after we grasp the phenomenon we are facing. So let us begin with some basic data. DIVERGENT PATTERNS Pentecostalism has set its stoutest roots among Asian ethnic minorities and social classes which lack political or ideological power.1 Five Asian countries are witnessing the fastest growth of Pentecostalism as a grassroots movement and where, with one exception, there are significant numbers of Catholic charismatics, namely China, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia and India. The greatest increase is found in South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines.2 PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENTS IN ASIA3 Classic Pentecostals4 Mainline Churches Neo-Pentecostals China 47,686 (0%) 629,491 (1%) 53.6 m. (99%) = 54.3 m. India 1.3 m. (4%) 5 m. (15%) 27.2 m. (81%) = 33.5 m. Philippines 765,813 (4%) 11.7 m. (58%) 7.6 m. (38%) = 20 m. Indonesia 1.4 m. (15%) 971,415 (10%) 7 m. (75%) = 9.5 m. S. Korea 2.4 m. (32%) 2 m. (27%) 3.2 m. (42%) = 7.6 m. Vietnam 51,101 (7%) 157,802 (20%) 588,097 (74%) = 798,000 1 Jungja Ma outlines critical social issues that form the context for Pentecostal mission and contemporary social challenges (Ma and Ma 2003, 185-193). As the religious movement moves into politics so this aspect will change. 2 A switch of allegiance is not the only option; many permutations are available.
