6th Sunday of Easter

4th Sunday of Advent (Year B)

Marys Courageous ResponseJulieta G. AquiloIn our journey as pilgrims here on earth, we are helped to reach our union with God by the examples and prayers of the holy men and women who faithfully followed the path of Christ. But above all these saints of our faith, Mary stands out because of her unique role in Gods plan of salvation. She freely and courageously responded to Gods call. The Gospel on this fourth Sunday of Advent narrates the story of the angel Gabriels Annunciation to Mary about her becoming the Mother of the Savior. This Annunciation marked the decisive turn of the history of salvation. The long awaited reign of truth, justice, peace, freedom and mercy is now sure to happen because a woman has accepted the role of the Mother of the Savior. How will this happen?What is meant by the angels words, Rejoice, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women? Mary should be happy because through

her, God would now fulfill the salvation He promised to His people (Zep. 3:14). Mary is highly favored as chosen from among the many to be the Mother of the

Messiah promised to Israel. God had no need of a woman to make a human body, but He wanted to have a mother for His Son, and for Mary to be really that mother, it was necessary that God had looked upon with greater love than He had for any other creature. The Lord is with you means through Gods presence and Mary, the promise of The Savior becomes a reality. The words of the angel made Mary wonder. She was bewildered but was never afraid. She did raise a question, How can this be since I am a virgin? She was too amazed how she, a virgin could bear a child in her womb. What more, this Child is no ordinary Child, for He will be great and shall rightly be called Son of the Most High.So, the angel told her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Meaning, she will conceive through the power of the Holy Spirit and God will always be with her to take care of her. She will be the bearer of Gods Presence for the New People of God Who made His dwelling among us (The Angelus).For her to know that in her response

God will strengthen and assure her of His love and care, the angel told her that her cousin Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age, for nothing is impossible with God. Hearing this, Mary replied, I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me as you have said.Marys positive response to the Annunciation was a total acceptance of the will of God. In this acceptance Mary freely and courageously offered herself as the instrument in the realization of Gods promise of salvation to all mankind. (Christian Life Education series: The Church on the Move by Josefina M. Manabnat, Ed. D., SLD, pages 288-289)We have to know that everyday in our life, God sends us a message, an invitation or an annunciation to serve Him. This we usually reject, disregard or sometimes tell ourselves maybe next time. In the Church through her many ministries we have many opportunities to share ourselves through our time, talent and treasure (3 Ts).What are we waiting for? Today and everyday is a good day to say, Yes, Lord, like Mary.

ADBIENTO: KARI KA, O GINOONG JESUS!

What Can Waiting Do For Us? (Part III)

Fr. Nathaniel G. Gentizon

The PasTor sPeaksMsgr. Higinio C. VelardeSa sining masunod nga mga isyu sang Candlelight, akon anay ipaiway ang kinaandan nga pagpaathag sang mga Sakramento agud makabulig man ako sa bumalasa sa pagpamalandong nahanungod sa sining panahon sang Adbiento kag Paskwa ukon Christmas.Advent: Come Lord Jesus! Amo ini ang hingapusan nga mga dinalan sang Santos nga Kasulatan. Sa Libro sang Bugna, (Bugna 20:22) mabasahan ini nga mga tinaga nga nagapautwas sang handom sang tagipusuon sang tagsa ka Kristiano.Mga duha ka libo ka tuig ang nagligad, ang mga nalutos nga mga anak sang Israel naghulat sa Iya, bisan pa nga wala sila makahangop sing lubos kon Sin-o Sia kag kon ano ang Iya pagahimuon. Ang mga gintagna nahanungod kay Kristo nagsugod sa Libro sang Genesis sang magsiling ang Dios sa man-og nga magapahamtang Sia sing pagdumtanay sa tunga sang man-og kag sang babaye, nga ang babayi magadugmok sang iya ulo, kag sia magabuntog sang iya tikod. Indi ini nahanungod kay Eva kundi nahanungod kay Maria, ang Bag-o nga Eva, nga ang iya tago nga pagkabun-ag, nga wala madiparahi sang kalibutan, amo ang nangin ganhaan sang aton kaluwasan.Paagi sa Walay Dagta nga Pagpanamkon sa Mahal nga Birhen, ang We come to the last part of our reflection on the value of waiting in our lives. In my two previous articles, I had elucidated on the point that waiting makes us realize that we are not in full control of what is happening in our lives, God Is. Moreover, waiting makes us know and own what is essential and important in our lives. The long period of waiting gives us the opportunity to look deeply into what really matters in our life. Usually, what really matters are those that last, endure and give us real happiness, joy and peace. The process of waiting may be

difficult and perhaps, agonizing to some, depending on who and what you are really waiting for. When you long for somebody whom you really love and care for, the time of waiting for him or her to arrive is a period of deep

paglaum sang Hardin sang Paraiso antes ang pagpakasala sang aton una nga mga ginikanan, napukaw liwat. Ginhatag ini sa aton sang Dios bilang isa ka libre nga dulot, kag amo ini ang timaan sang pagkari sang Iya Anak, ang ginakalangkagan nga Mesiyas.Ining mga panagna nahanungod kay Jesus nga nagsugod didto sa Hardin nangin bahin sang linibo ka tuig nga maragtas nga nagasugid sang mga inagihan sang Iya panimalay sa libro nga aton ginatawag ang Daan nga Kasugtanan. Isa ini ka istorya sang Dios nga nagsagod sang isa ka pungsod paagi sa pagtawag sing una anay sa isa ka tawo sa pagbiya sang iya puloy-an kag magpanglakaton sa kahawaan.Nagsugod ini, pareho man sa mga kinaandan nga pagsugod, halin sa isa ka panimalay; sa kaso ni Abraham, isa ka panimalay nga madamo man sing kabudlay kag kasal-anan, pero nagsalig sa Dios. Indi tanan nga ginhimo ni Abraham maayo, apang nagtuo sia sa ginsaad sang Ginoo, kag ang Kasulatan nagasiling sa aton nga ginkabig ini sang Dios nga isa ka buhat sang pagkamatarong.May mensahi ini para sa aton tanan. Ini nga mensahe amo nga dapat kita magsalig sa Dios kag magsunod sa Iya, bisan pa nga malayo kita sa pagkahimpit. Ang pagkamatarong dira makita sa pagsunod sa kabubut-on sang Dios kag sa pagtugyan sang aton kabuhi kag kaluwasan sa Iya kaluoy. Kon ano man ang kulang, ang Dios amo ang magadugang sina. Kinahanglan lang nga magsalig sa Iya kag himuon ang aton dapat himuon.Paano ini ginapatigayon sang Dios? Paano

Niya malambot ang aton kahimtangan nga mamalatyon kag may katapusan tungod kay Sia indi mamalatyon kag walay katapusan? Daw indi mapatihan ang sabat sa sini nga pamangkot: Iya ini ginpatigayon paagi sa pagsul-ob sang aton tawohanon nga unod, nga nabun-ag gikan sa isa ka babaye, nagkabuhi, nag-antus kag napatay pareho sa aton. Ang pag-abot ni Jesus gintagna na sa bilog nga Daan nga Kasugtanan, pero mabudlay ang mag-angot sini sa mga hitabo nga magaabot pa. Gani mabudlay i-angot ang pagkari sang Ginoo sang Maragtas sa Alagad nga Nagaantus sang Kalbaryo. Ang mga tawo sang panahon ni Jesus wala makakilala sa Iya tungod kay wala sila makahangop sang matuod-tuod nga kinaugali sang Mesiyas. Sila nagpaabot sang isa ka maisog nga hangaway, ukon sang isa ka madinalag-on nga hari, kag gani, wala nila makilala ang ila ginkalangkagan sa isa ka ginkondenar nga kriminal nga ginlansang sa krus.Lima na lamang ka adlaw kag aton na makita ang katumanan sang ginapaabot sang mga tawo halin pa gid sang una. Makilala ayhan naton Sia kon mag-abot Sia? Ukon mangin pareho bala kita sa aton mga katigulangan nga wala magsapak tungod kay indi amo Sia ang aton ginapaabot?Magkari Ka, O Ginoong Jesus! Tugoti nga makilala ka namon sa Imo pag-abut!

Whenever I think of the old Jaro Convent, two important persons come to mind: the late Most Rev. Msgr. Alberto J. Piamonte and Most Rev. Jaime Cardinal L. Sin. They contributed a lot in fostering the strong spiritual-pillar image of the old Jaro Convent. Because the parishioners admired and respected them a lot, this also reflected in the image the parishioners had for the old Jaro convent. I remember then Bishop Sin with his tall, imposing figure, standing in front of the Convent and surveying the entire Cathedral compound, with the old water well just across the cemented driveway. I was a kid then and to me he looked such an authority and the convent was his backdrop. Those were in the early days of Martial Law, and before I knew it, he was already appointed to the Manila Archdiocese.

I also remember Most Rev. Piamonte being greeted by parishioners in front of the Convent. He had this habit of staying put in front of the Convent because he wanted to meet the smiling parishioners who were passing by after the Masses. From the Convent, he would also visit the Tabernacle inside the Cathedral to pray. Those were the days. I guess it is difficult for me to separate the memory of these two beloved bishop-parish priests of ours from my remembrance of the old Jaro Convent.

Armand

and earnest longing. Having this wish, some would want to hasten the time! Furthermore, when one yearns for the solution to him or her problems and begs immediate answer to his or her prayers, the period of waiting for what is being desired includes and entails enduring suffering and making some sacrifices for God and for people being prayed for. How we wish that magic happens so that we can be freed

from the angst and anxiety of waiting! Yes, even though we may experience pain and difficulties, it can bring a lot of good to us and even to other people, particularly spiritual benefits. We grow and mature in our faith through suffering. St. Paul in his Letter to the Romans said, we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character; proven character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. (Rom. 5, 3-5)Hence, let us not be afraid to wait even if it means embracing the Cross. May we realize that the glory to be revealed to us in the next life is incomparable to the suffering we experience here on earth.

26 Sa ikan-om nga bulan sang pagbusong ni Elisabet ginpadala sang Dios si Gabriel nga anghel didto sa banwa sang Galilea nga ginatawag Nazaret. 27 Ang anghel may dala nga mensahi para sa isa ka ulay nga dalaga nga kasalon sa isa ka tawo nga ginghingalanan kay Jose nga kaliwat ni Haring David. Ang ngalan sang dalaga amo si Maria. 28 Ang anghel nagpakita sa iya kag nagsiling, Magkalipay ka! Ikaw nga labing nahamut-an, ang Ginoo yara sa imo!29 Sang pagkabati ni Maria sang ginsiling sang anghel natublag gid sia, nagpalibog kon ano ang kahulogan sang ginhambal sang anghel. 30 Nagsiling ang anghel sa iya, Indi ka magkahadlok, Maria, kay nahamut-an ka sang Dios. 31

Yari karon, magabusong ka kag magaanak sang isa ka bata nga lalaki, kag pagahingalanan mo sia kay Jesus. 32 Mangin daku sia kag pagatawgon nga Anak sang Labing Makagagahom nga Dios. Ang Ginoong Dios magahimo sa iya nga hari subong sang iya amay nga si David, 33 kag mangin hari sia sing dayon sa mga kaliwat ni Jacob kag ang iya ginharian wala sing katapusan.34 Si Maria nagsabat sa anghel, Ano ang pagkahimo sini, kay ulay ako nga babayi?35 Ang anghel nagsabat, Ang Espiritu Santo magakunsad sa imo, kag ang gahom sang Dios magalikop sa imo. Tungod sini ang balaan nga bata nga matawo sa imo pagatawgon nga Anak sang Dios. 36 Dumdoma bala ang

imo paryente nga si Elizabet. Bisan tigulang na sia kag baw-as, nagabusong na sing anom ka bulan sang isa ka bata nga lalaki. 37 Kay sa Dios wala sing bisan ano nga indi mahimo.38 Si Maria nagsiling, Alagad ako sang Ginoo. Kabay nga matuman ini sa akon suno sa imo ginsiling. Kag ang anghel nagbiya sa iya.

Disyembre 15, 2014, sa alas otso sang gab-i, ang mga tumuluo gikan sa nagkalainlain nga lugar ang nagsulod sa Katedral sang Jaro. Ini tungod kay nagsugod na ang tuigan nga Evening Mass of Waiting. Masanag ang palibot sa gwa sang Simbahan kag madamo ang mga tawo nga yara sa parking area tungod gutok na sa sulod.Ang suga sa sulod sang Simbahan indi tuman ka sanag kag maayo gid ini sa pagpamalandong sa Misa. Ang matahum kag simple nga dekorasyon nagakabagay gid agud nga ang mga nagatambong sa Misa makaangkon sang disposisyon sa pagpamalandong. May lampara nga nagakabit sa belen, isa ka simbolo sang paghulat sang pag-abot sang Isa ka Tinuga sa aton tunga nga magalutos sang kadulom. Ginhatagan duag ni Fr. Randy Doromal ang Ebanghelyo paagi sa isa ka matahum nga homiliya nahanungod sa mga buluhaton sa subong nga tion sang pag-aman sa pag-abot ni Ginoong Jesuskristo. Sia naghambal nga ang aton tagipusuon dapat mangin isa ka tagipusuon nga ASTIG, nga kon sayuron isa ka tagipusuon nga mapinasalamaton, mahinadlukon sa Dios, nagapakig-angot sa iban, mainabyanon kag mabinatyagon. Ini dapat naton ikabuhi sa adlaw-adlaw nga tanan.

Matahum ang mga ambahanon nga ginkanta sa Misa kag ini nakadugang sa pagpamalandong sang aton paghulat kay Ginoong Jesuskristo. Ang mga tingug sang nagakanta nakadugang man sang solemnidad sang balaan nga selebrasyon sang Misa.Ang Santos nga Misa nagtakop paagi sa isa ka Christmas song samtang nga ang mga pumuluyo nagagwa gikan sa Simbahan sa pagpauli sa ila mga panimalay ukon kon sa diin man sila magapadulong.Ang ini nga Misa sa Paghulat ukon Evening Mass of Waiting magatapos sa Disyembre 23, 2014. Tion sang paghulat. Tion sang pagkalangkag. Kon may ginapaabut kita halimbawa nga package halin sa gwa, nagakalangkag kita kay daw kadugay gid sang tion sang paghulat. Kon san-o maabot wala kita nakahibalo kay indi kita in-control sang nagakahalanabo, ilabi na gid sa aton kabuhi. Ang Dios lang ang may control, gani itugyan gid naton ang tanan sa Dios samtang may ikasarang kita. Subong nga Disyembre may ginapaabut man kita. Ang Ebanghelyo nagasaysay sa aton nga ang anghel Gabriel nagpakita sing hinali kay Maria. Daku gid ang katingala ni Maria kag wala gid niya ini ginapaabut. Suno sa Ebanghelyo ni San Lukas, daku gid ang kakibot ni Maria, indi sia mapahamtang, kag ginkulbaan. Indi man kita makabasol sa iya kay si Maria wala sing ideya kon ano ang kahulogan sang pagbisita sa iya sang angel. Ang anghel matuod nga indi dapat kahadlukan kay sila nga mensahero sang Dios. Gani nga nagsiling si Gabriel sa iya nga indi magkahadlok kay sia ang pinili sang Dios.Bisan wala sia makahangup sing lubos, puno sing pagpaubos nga nagbuhi si Maria sang iya wala pagpangduha-duha nga pagbaton sang binubuot sang Dios sa iya. Sa iya man

nga paghulat daku ang iya pagsakripisyo. Iya ginbatas ang tanan nga mga kabudlay halin sa iya pagmabdos kag pagbun-ag kay Jesus tubtub sa Iya sini kamatayon sa Kalbaryo nga puno sing pagpasensya. Kasubong man sini ang aton nabatyagan samtang nagahulat. Kon kaisa nagatubo sa aton ang wala sing kasigurohan kon ano ang maabot apang magpasensya lang kay ang Dios gid ang nakahibalo kon ano ang maayo sa aton. Si Maria nga aton modelo simple lang nga klase sang babae, apang kinahanglanon gid nga makatuon kita sa iya kaalam kag kapinasahi indi lamang sa sining tion sang Adbiento kundi sa bilog naton nga kabuhi. Kita, kasubong ni Maria, ginatawag man sang Dios, apang pirme lang kita nagabalibad, wala nagapati, kag wala sing tinion para sa Iya. Si Maria tama ka mapainubuson. Amo ini nga mabudlay sia sundon kay sa masami matinalak-on kita, indi bala? Gani nga tinguhaan naton nga magtubo sa pagkamapainubuson. Sa aton nga mga Katoliko ginadayaw naton sia indi lang tungod sia ang aton Iloy sa Langit kundi luyag man naton nga magmangin - Maria, kay si Maria ang pinaka-puro nga laragway sang pagka-Kristiano. Puno sang pagpailob sia nga nagtuman sang binubuot sang Dios sanglit ang tanan ginsalig

niya sa Amay sa Langit nga labing Makagagahum. Ang iya kabuhi napun-an sang kalangkag kag paghulat nga napun-an man sing indi pagkahamtang. Madamo man nga basi ang nag-abut sa iya panghunahuna apang ginsalig niya ini tanan sa Dios! Iya ginbatas ang tanan ang kalawig sang paghulat! Sa aton bahin, sa sining tinion sang paghulat tinguhaan naton nga mailog ining mga birtudes sang aton Iloy Birhen Maria.Sia ang nagapatunga sa aton sa pag-alungay sa Dios nga Amay para sa aton kaluwasan. Sia ang aton dalangpan ilabi na gid sa tinion sang mga kalalat-an nga nagakahalanabo sa aton kabuhi. Sia ang aton tag-ampo sa Dios nga Amay paagi sa Iya Anak nga aton Manluluwas - si Jesukristo.Dapat naton panumdumon nga sa aton paghulat ang Dios gid ang labing makagagahum. Sa Iya gid kita kinahanglan magsalig kasubong sang pagsalig ni Maria.Pamangkot1. Katulad bala ako ni Maria nga mapainubuson kag matinumanon sa kabubut-on sang Dios?2. Ano ang naga-upang sa akon nga mangin matinumanon sa Dios?

With the love of God, the Vicariate of St. Peter Youth Ministries prayer-led Marian Concert entitled #Mercy was successfully held last December 13, 2014. Though it was postponed three or four times because of Typhoon Ruby and some reasons, we are happy because we had the opportunity to improve our performance and put more emphasis on the Apostolic Visit of Pope Francis. The concert was about Pope Francis message on mercy. In this Papal visit, we should bear in mind that Pope Francis is not the highlight but our brothers and sisters who were victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda and earthquake most especially Jesus Christ.We also believe that we attained our program objectives which are: preparative, catechetical and unifying. As we prepare for the visit of Pope Francis, we were made aware of the realities in our country. The sufferings of our brothers and sisters become means for us to value our family and friends and become more faithful to God. We were also catechized through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, to make us more generous to those in dire need. The concert served to unify the young people from the different parishes of the Vicariate of St. Peter.

We witnessed the camaraderie of our young people during the agape after the concert. Hugging and kissing each other goodbye brought tears to their eyes, knowing that they would not anymore meet frequently. They kept on exchanging numbers and facebook accounts before separating. As one of the facilitators of the concert, I can gladly say that all our sacrifices are worth it and are meaningful. In our journey as young people, our laughter, tiredness and stress will be engraved in our hearts. When we meet somewhere down the roads, a simple smile from one another will brighten our day.With great gratitude, we thank all our sponsors who helped us financially for the expenses of the concert. Words are not enough to express how we appreciate your love and care for us. To our young people, we claim in the most powerful Name of Jesus that you are already blessed by God and you are a blessing to others. To all the parents who supported their childrens participation, we thank you for giving us the opportunity to grow emotionally and spiritually. As we build relationships with others, we are getting intimately closer to God.

The realization that a segment of society has less in life does not resolve, Alisbo said.There is a challenge, he pointed out. We have to address it to give our poor brethren dignity.The question is who are going to respond Alisbo said.Those who have time, talent, and treasure, he said. And every one of us has the three.Lack of compassionThat is the genuine appreciation of the realization that some fellow believers are not as fortunate as others, Alisbo added.People suffering from poverty also suffer from the feeling that their brothers who are relatively prosperous do not care about them, he said.Their mind and heart also suffer, unable to appreciate their dignity the importance of being human, he said. We have to make them feel that they have dignity.

The poor should feel the Church is there for them, Alisbo said.The Year of the Poor should also embrace believers who are poor in spirit and in relationships, he said.When we say Year of the Poor, most of the time, we think of people who are financially poor, Alisbo said. Year of the Poor is love of God, which is for all, regardless of ones economic status.The emphasis of the year-round observance is actually love a love that does not specially favor one over another, but treats all believers equally, he said.All are equally poor and helpless before God, he noted. With this helplessness, people need God.We need his mercy and compassion, he noted.

CONFESSION DURING ADVENT SEASONTuesday to Friday: 4:30 P.M. - 5:30 P.M.December 22 and 23: 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.It is good to confess our sins as we spiritually prepare ourselves for the comeing of Our Lord Jesus Christ on Christmas Day.

God. With Christmas Season, he noted that Jesus chose to be born within a family. He then called on all Christian families, to embrace Jesus just like Mary and Joseph did. Every Christian family, can welcome Jesus just

like Mary and Joseph did. They can listen to Him, talk to Him, protect Him, grow with Him. And in doing so, they can change the world. Lets make room in our hearts and in our day, to welcome Jesus. Thats what Mary and Joseph did. It wasnt easy. They had to overcome many challenges!He went on to add that Jesus family was a real and hardworking family with its ups and downs. This, he said, should serve as an example to all other average, every day families.

They were not a fake family or an unrealistic one. The family of Nazareth allows us to rediscover

the vocation and mission of the family, the every day family.To celebrate the Popes birthday a group of tango dancers came to St. Peters Square to take part in a so called Tango Flash mob, and dance for the Pope.

When I passed through the Square, I saw different groups of tango dancers. I hope you can put on a good show today and bring in some Argentinian winds. Even though the mood was festive, the Pope also took on a serious note. He prayed for the victims of the recent terrorists attacks in Australia, Pakistan and Yemen and their families. He called on the attackers to have a change of heart. Romereports.com

ILOILO City, Dec.12, 2014 To literally add color to the spiritual preparation for the upcoming visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines, an on-the-spot painting contest will be held on Dec. 19, 12 p.m. at the Museo Iloilo, Iloilo City with the theme: Mercy and Compassion: An Apostolic Visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines.Fr. Rafael Luis Clavel, director of the Jaro Archdiocesan Youth Commission, said, The on-the-spot painting contest is not merely a competition of skills, but a catechetical and pastoral activity with three aims.According to the priest, the first aim is to heighten awareness about the upcoming visit of Pope Francis among the youth.The second is to channel the enthusiasm of the young people towards the main purpose of the papal visit: that we become a people of mercy and compassion, he added.Lastly, the contest aims to present an opportunity for young people to make concrete contributions as persons of mercy and compassion in the Year of the Poor, Clavel said.The contest entries will be donated to

the Archdiocese of Jaro. In turn, the Archdiocesan Youth Commission will direct the proceeds from the artworks to help the victims of typhoon Yolanda and of other recent calamities.Jaro Archdiocesan Youth Commission is inviting young people from three to 21 years of age to join the contest. Participants will be divided into three age-group categories: Category 1 (3-7 yrs. old) Category 2 (10-15 yrs. old) Category 3 (16-21 yrs. old)Registration for the contest was opened on Nov. 19 and will last until Dec. 15, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. up to 5:00 p.m., every day, at the Museo Iloilo in Bonifacio Drive, Iloilo City.In line with the tradition of all papal events, the registration for the contest is free.Participants are advised to bring the following during the registration: birth or baptismal certificate (photocopy) as proof of age or certification from the school administrator as proof of enrolment or from the parish priest or parochial vicar as proof of membership in the Parish Youth Ministry.Initiated by the Archdiocese of Iloilo, the project is organized in partnership with the Iloilo Cultural Research Foundation, Inc., the Museo Iloilo, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone

All roads led to the Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral as Archbishop Angel N. Lagdameo,D.D., the revered Archbishop of Jaro, celebrated fifty golden years of his Sacerdotal Ordination with a Solemn Mass on Friday, 19th of December, 2014, concelebrated by about one-hundred-two priests from the Archdioceses of Jaro, Cebu, Dumaguete, and Quezon Province, all of which are significant to the good Archbishops journey in the priesthood. At the Introduction to the Mass, the commentator revealed that when he was in the seminary, the young seminarian Angel, as he was fondly called by his superiors and fellow seminarians, wrote in his essay entitled The Priest I Want to Be: If a priest is anything, he should be a happy priest, and I want to be a happy priest. I want people to say, He is a happy priest.Homilist was Fr. Catalino Arevalo, S.J., who was Archbishop Lagdameos mentor back at the San Jose Seminary. Fr. Arevalo said: The Letter to the Hebrews tell us the real marks of the priesthood mercy, fidelity, compassion. The crucial mark of the priesthood is Jesus. The priest is a simple reminder of Jesus with love in all directions. Let this be the task of love: To feed the flock - which is the world. Every day, Jesus asks His people: Do you love me? And Fr. Angel, for fifty years now, answers, thru Peter: Lord, You know all things. You know I love You. Do we, priests, love You Lord? Lord, You know all things. You know we love You.During the Prayers of the Faithful, Archbishop Lagdameo made the invitation: Join me in thanking the Lord for His gift of Vocation. Let us all thank The Father for making us His children.To recall the words that he said at his Installation to the Jaro Archbishopric fourteen years ago, Archbishop Lagdameo said in his homily: With Great trust in God who chose me for the great work ahead, I humbly accept

the staff with a prayer that I may use it as the Good shepherd does. With you a lamb, for you a shepherd. . .Yes, I come among you in the name of the Lord, seeking His presence among you, and discovering that presence.At todays golden jubilee Mass, Archbishop Lagdameo expressed his gratitude to all who were instrumental in inspiring and encouraging him to the priesthood. He says in response: To be a priest is not only to be a minister of the Church, but to be an instrument of Christ. The essence of the priesthood is to be a living and continuing memory of Christ. No priest is a priest all by himself. His fellow priests help him. We are priests with one another, for the people of God. We are Gods blessing to one another as well as to the people we serve. I cannot do it any better without all of you. From the Vatican, a letter of congratulations from Pope Francis was read by Msgr. Gene C. Velarde, Jaro Parish Priest, which read, To our venerable brother Angel N. Lagdameo: To you, our brother, we express our joyful feeling and fraternal brotherhood which unites us with you in the episcopate. . . on this occasion, we wish to thank you for the fruit of your labours. . .From Malacaang palace, President Benigno S. Aquino sent his letter, read by Fr. Joenick S. Territorio: I congratulate you on the fiftieth anniversary of you Ordination to the Priesthood President Aquino also recalled in his letter his gratitude to Archbishop Lagdameo for the spiritual help extended to his mother, President Corazon Aquino, and to him, as well.Archbishop Lagdameo was born on August 2, 1940 in Lukban, Quezon. He is a graduate of San Jose Seminary. He is the twelfth Bishop of Jaro and the fifth Filipino Archbishop of Jaro. He was appointed Jaro Archbishop on March 11, 2000, and installed on May 9, 2000.

Right after his sacerdotal ordination on December 19,1964, he served in various capacities at Mount Carmel Seminary and St. Alphonsus School of Theology for fifteen years. In 1978, he served as Promotary of the First Diocesan Synod of Lucena, convoked by then Bishop (now Cardinal) Jose T. Sanchez. On August 12, 1980, he was ordained Bishop, becoming an Auxiliary to the late Julio Cardinal Rosales. In, 1986, he was Secretary General of the Fourth Diocesan Synod of Cebu, convoked by Ricardo Cardinal Vidal. That same year, he became Coadjutor Bishop of Dumaguete, succeeding the late Bishop Epifanio B. Surban on August 2, 1989. One of the highlights of his Dumaguete Archbishopric was convoking its First Diocesan Synod in 1992, one year after the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines.From 1994 to 1998, he was Chairman of the Office of the Laity of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences, during which he gave conferences and participated in Conventions of the Catholic Laity in various countries in Asia. From 1990 to January 2000, he served as Chairman of the CBCP Episcopal Commission for the Laity. He served as Chairman of the CBCP National committee for the Great Jubilee Year 2000. It was in the midst of this national Great Jubilee celebration that he was appointed as Archbishop of Jaro. A highlight of Archbishop Lagdameos term as Jaro Archbishop is the Third Diocesan Synod of Jaro which set the pastoral priorities of the Archdiocese of Jaro in place.We wish Archbishop Lagdameo good health and good wishes in the grace of The Holy Trinity on his Sacerdotal Ordination Golden Julbilee.

archbishop Lagdameo Celebrates Golden Jubilee The ecclesiological Bond between Coleggio Filippino and the Church of Jaro

turn to page 10...

People may ask: what connection do we have to an institution that seems far away and why should we help? Chances are, many people may not have direct access to Coleggio Filippino but the pastors serving you faithfully most probably would have passed theological training under professors and formators who studied in Rome and were housed in this institution. What is the common denominator of Msgr. Piamonte, Msgr.Catalua, Msgr. Correa, Fr. Landar etc? They are dedicated veterans in seminary work who have served faithfully the local Church of Jaro after having studied in Rome. This is precisely the vision of the Catholic Bishops of the Philippines when it established Coleggio Filippino. To put up a residence for priest scholars who are sent for studies sub umbra Petri(under the shadow of Peter) and after their advanced studies will return to their dioceses to help form future priests. In fact, our very own Abp. Piamonte was one of the first residents of this place. Currently we have there Fr. Yves Francis Matrinez and Fr. Mars Cortez doing further studies as preparation for work in the seminary. There is therefore an ecclesiological bond between us and the Coleggio Filippino! So the help we give, even though very small, is not only a form of help to an aging edifice but on a deeper way, also an act of love and an investment in the future of our Church in Jaro and the whole Philippine Church!
