Reflection -   Weekend of April 4 & 5

Question of the Week:



     His well-known prayer says it all:

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

Lord, may I not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

Because it is in giving that we receive,

in pardoning that we are pardoned.

     My brothers and sisters in Christ, the world needs peace more than ever with all the happenings affecting all of us. The family needs peace, especially when it is threatened by the disunity of family members and the influence of secularism and absence of Christian ethical values. And on a personal note, we need peace within our hearts.

     “Alleluia” is another greeting we need to express to welcome with joy our brothers and sisters who received their Sacraments of Initiation and became neophyte members of the Church. I salute the mentors and the parents and loved ones of those we welcome in our community of faith.

     And “Thank You” to all those who have prepared, supported, and led our liturgical services. Our hearts are grateful to Reverend Father Preston Jay “PJ” Castro, our parochial vicar; Deacon Ron Paglinawan; Deacon Eric Kim; and Deacon Rey Dinulong; the parish staff and office volunteers; and to all of you, our dear parishioners. May God bless you and I look forward to more opportunities of working with you, I am
