By Bevi Tamargo Theres something mysterious about dyingit brings us closer to life.

revolution that will forever be remembered as one of peace. Throughout her life she had shown that ultimately softness prevails over strength. Violence gives way to compassion. Forgiveness, over anger. Acceptance over struggle.

When Michael Jackson lived, his public life was filled with nasty rumors and shame. But upon his death, people suddenly remembered all the good things. In Korean ex President Rohs lifetime, he was bombarded with political scandals and charges of corruption. But his death made him a hero and a legend.

I liked the way she handled everything in her life with total faith in God. When her husband died she gracefully accepted it and took on the challenge to become President. As a mother, she became a source of compassion, caring and strength to her children. She accepted evePres. Cory Aquino had always been, without rything gracefully. She handled things gracefully doubt, a mighty political force. But upon her death, her life has been put in the spotlight, in all and with full faith and trust in God. It was her softness that moved the world. of its fine detail.

Theres something about deathit awakens us.

President Aquinos death had turned her into a legend. A figure deeply imbedded in the hearts of the Filipinos.

She believed in the power of prayer. Indeed prayer can be a very strong force in life. With God at the steering wheel, you would never be led astray. He would lead you in all the right directions. And on to our higher destinies.

She has become a symbol of peace. She had an inner peace that radiated form within. And it was strong enough to move a nation and topple a dictatorship. She used the power of love and the goodness of human nature.

When her husband was shot, she gracefully accepted it as the will of God and led the EDSA

Most people forget that God can be a powerful ally. I know a lot of intelligent people who are atheists. They live by logic. I have tried living like that. But it is lonely life. It is a life where you always have to struggle and fight with life. But letting God lead your life, is indeed a great thing. It means being protected. Its like having a bestfriend in the spiritual world, in the world of causes where everything is created..the unmanifest world that brings everything into being.

The life of former President Cory Aquino was a shining example of how through our faith in the Divine, we are led towards our higher destiniesa life that is more fulfilling and in line with our higher purpose. When people die, their lives come into focus. Death brings back old memories to life. When the material world fades, all we have left are memories. We live forever in the memories of the people whose lives we have touched. In their minds we stay young forever. We live over and over again... Time is an illusion.

PAGNINILAY:
Fr. Maxell Lowell C. Aranilla
Ang tinapay ay isa sa mga pangunahing pagkain ng tao kung kayat sa halos lahat ng sulok ng mundo ay matatagpuan ito. Bukod pa rito, maituturing itong isa sa pinakamurang pagkain kung kayat halos lahat ay may kakayahang bumili nito. Ang tinapay, sa kabila ng kanyang pagiging karaniwan, ay maituturing na mahalagang pagkain ng tao. Sa ating Mabuting Balita ay inilalarawan ni Jesus ang kanyang sarili bilang Tinapay ng Buhay. Tulad ng karaniwang tinapay, si Jesus ay hindi mahirap masumpungan. Buhay na buhay si Jesus partikular na sa Sakramento ng Eukaristiya kung saan ay inihahandog ni Jesus ang kanyang sarili sa mga taong nais tumanggap sa Kanya sa anyo ng tinapay. Ang Eukaristiya ay isa sa mga nahihiwatigang tanda ng pag-ibig ng Diyos o sakramento. Dahil na rin sa kanyang kagustuhang maipahayag ang hindi nahihiwatigang Diyos, nang si Jesus ay naririto pa sa lupa ay itinatag niya ang sakramentong ito na magpasahanggang ngayon ay nasa gitna pa rin natin. Kung kayat ang sakramento ng Eukaristiya, ang Sakramento ng Tinapay ng Buhay, ay pawang paggunita at pagsasangayon. Ang Eukaristiya ay isang PAGGUNITA. Ginugunita natin sa bawat pagdiriwang ng Misa ang gawang pagliligtas ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Kristo. Maaalalang sa kanyang Huling Hapunan, noong araw bago ang kanyang pagpapakasakit, ay itinatag niya sa harap ng kanyang mga disipulo ang sakramentong ito. Itinagubilin pa niya na gawin ito bilang pag-alala sa kanya. Sa anyong alak at tinapay ay tinanggap siyang lubusan ng kanyang mga alagad. Kung kayat gayundin naman, sa bawat pakikilahok natin sa Eukaristiya ay inaalala natin ang isa sa mga pinakatampok na ginawa ni Jesus at ito ang kanyang pag-aalay ng sarili para sa ating kaligtasan na kongkreto niyang ipinahayag sa Huling Hapunan nang tanggapin ng mga alagad ang kanyang dugo at katawan. Ang Eukaristiya ay PAGSASANGAYON. Bagamat ito ay pagalaala ng isang kaganapang naisakatuparan na, dahil na rin sa kaFREQUENTLY CALLED NOS.

pangyarihan ng Salita ni Jesus, ang pag-alaalang ito ay pagsasang-ayon din naman. Ang tinapay na ating tinatanggap ay hindi simbolo lamang, subalit sa kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu, at sa pamamagitan ng ipinagkaloob na kakayanan sa isang pari, ang tinapay at alak ay nagiging tunay na Katawan at Dugo ni Jesus. Kung kayat ang tinapay na ating tinatanggap ay hindi lamang nakapagpapalakas ng katawan bagkus nakapagpapalakas din ng ating kaluluwa. Mulit muli nating tinatanggap ang pagsasakripisyo ni Jesus sa tuwing tayoy nakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Banal na Misa. Nakapagtatakang sa kabila nito ata bagamat ang sakramentong ito ay abot-kamay lamang, may mga taong hindi pa rin nakikiisa dito. Sa Eukaristiya ating nararanasan ang pagmamahal, pag-unawa, paggagabay, at pag-aalay ng buhay ni Jesus. Hindi bat kung paanong kailangan natin ang lakas at kagalingan ng katawan ay ganun din ang kagalingan ng ating espiritu? Bagamat hindi itinakda ng Batas ng Simbahan ang araw-araw na pagdalo sa sakramento ng Eukaristiya bilang isang obligasyon, maituturing na ang pagtanggap kay Jesus sa araw-araw sa pamamagitan ng Komunyon ay isa namang pagpapalalim ng relasyon. Ang katotohanan ay sa madalas nating pagtanggap sa kanya ay higit tayong nagiging tulad niya. At huwag sana nating kalimutan na ang Eukaristiya, ang sakramento ng Tinapay na Nagbibigay Buhay, ang pinakamataas na uri ng panalangin at pakikipagtagpo sa Diyos ng tao dito sa lupa.

CATHOLIC FAITH:
Pres. Cory Aquino Prayer for a Happy Death (2004)
Almighty God, most merciful Father You alone know the time You alone know the hour You alone know the moment When I shall breathe my last. So remind me each day, most loving Father To be the best that I can be To be humble, to be kind, To be patient, to be true, To embrace what is good To reject what is evil To adore only You.

Come, Come to My Aid (October 3, 1994)

Almighty God, Our Father Come, come to my aid And put my enemies in dread of You. Have pity on me, O Lord And relieve the troubles of my heart. My words no longer matter For ears that can hear No longer want to hear. My deeds seem worthless For eyes that can see No longer want to see. You alone are my hope, Most merciful God To You alone I surrender my soul. I know that You will hearken to the sound of my prayer For great has been Your kindness to me In times of suffering and distress. Teach me to humbly wait And to be constant in my prayers. Let me praise Your Holy Name From the rising to the setting of the sun Proclaiming Your Goodness before Your faithful ones. Thanks be to God, forever and ever. Amen.

When that final moment does come Let not my loved ones grieve for long Let them comfort each other And let them know how much happiness They brought into my life. Let them pray for me As I will continue to pray for them, Hoping that they will always pray for each other. Let them know that they made possible Whatever good I offered to our world And let them realize that our separation Prayer (September 2, 1994) Is just for a short while Almighty and merciful God, As we prepare for our reunion in eternity. You alone know everything. You know my present pain Our Father in heaven You know what deeply troubles my You alone are my hope mind and also wounds my heart. I call on You, Lord and Master of You alone are my salvation Thank You for Your unconditional love. Amen. my life Do not abandon me in my time of trouble. Look with much compassion on me and my loved ones. Come Almighty Father, we implore You. Guide us and fill our hearts with much love and understanding for each other. Direct us always to choose that which is good and that which is just. Lord, Lord, never even for a moment forget us. Grant us the gift of faith, so that at all times we shall remember to entrust and commit ourselves entirely to Your wise and loving care.

I thank You, Most Loving Father, for all the blessings You have generously bestowed on me and my family. Give us the grace to wisely use these gifts, not for ourselves alone, but more especially for our suffering brethren who are in need of so much assistance. Forgive us, Our Father, for all the times we have offended You. We ask for Your Divine Mercy and we implore Your help so that we can become better persons with each passing day. We humbly offer You our love, our works and our sacrifices today and everyday of our lives. Blessed be Your Name, Almighty God. Amen.

KARUNUNGAN:
Bro. Joel Tavarro

Mapalad ang mga nagmimithing makatupad sa kalooban ng Diyos, sapagkat ipagkakalob sa kanila ang kanilang minimithi (Mateo 5:6) Batid natin na tayo ay nilikha ng Maykapal, hi n u gis at hinubog sa anyo na kawangis Niya nang sa gayon magamit natin ang ating mga kamay upang sa pamamagitan ng pagpalakpak ay mapapurihan Siya. Binigyan ng bibig upang magamit naman sa pananalangin at pagpapasalamat sa Kanyang walang hanggang kabutihan. Ang isip naman ay upang saliksikin, alamin para maipahayag ang kadakilaan sa Kanyang mga ginawa at marapat lamang na ibalik sa Kanya ang parangal. Maraming handog ang Diyos at ang bawat isa ay binigyan ng ibat ibang kaloob upang maibahagi o ipamalas sa bawat isa ang kanilang angking galing. Mayroong mahusay umawit at tumugtog para mas higit na sumigla ang pagbibigay papuri sa Kaitaasan. Mapalad tayong mga normal na ipinanganak na walang kapansanan bagay na dapat nating tanawin na utang na loob sa Panginoon. Kumpleto ang bahagi ng ating mga katawan na walang labis at walang kulang. Wala mang talento ang iba subalit naigagalaw naman ang ibat ibang bahagi ng katawan ng maayos na nakakapaglakad saan mang lugar naisin na magtungo. Minsan paalis ako sa aking bahay upang magpunta sa aming regular na pagtitipon tuwing araw ng sabado (Prayer Intercession). May nakasabay akong isang koreana sa bus. Mayroon siyang kapansanan at hirap siyang maglakad dahil baliko ang kanyang mga paa at braso. Naawa ako sa kanya at ibinaling na lamang ang aking tingin sa bintana upang hindi ko siya masilayan sapagkat hindi ko maatim na siya ay pagmasdan. Ngunit niloob ng pagkakataon na makasabay ko siya sa loob

ng tren paluwas dito sa Seoul. Nakatawag-pansin sa akin ang kanyang tangan. Buong ingat niya itong hawak na mahigpit ang kanyang pakakabitbit, nang kanyang buksan nalaman kong bibliya pala iyon. Kaagad ko siyang kinauasp sapagkat nakita kong wikang ingles ang kanyang binabasa. Madali kaming nagkapalagayan ng loob na parang matagal na kaming magkakilala. Nagkwentuhan kami tungkol sa mga bagaybagay at buhay. Nalaman kong iba ang kanyang relihiyon at isa pala siyang taga- paghayag ng salita ng Diyos. Humanga ako sa kanya dahil sa kabila ng mayroon siyang kapansanan ay nagagawa pa niyang maglakbay upang ipagsigawan ang kabutihan ng Panginoon. Nangilid ang aking luha na tila may kumurot sa aking puso dahil sa kanyang ginagawa ay parang nakita ko sa katauhan niya si Hesus. Sa aming pag-uusap, lumalim ng lumalim ang aming paksa. Nagpalitan kami ng kuro-kuro at opinyon, masasabi kong malawak at malalim ang kanyang pang-unawa. Napaisip ako sandali at nasabi sa aking sarili na sana ay maging katulad ko rin siya dahil mahusay at dalubhasa siya sa larangan ng paggamit ng bibliya nang sa gayon, mas maipaglaban at maipahayag ko rin ng buong kaalaman ang pagiging isang Katoliko na kung sakaling may humahamak sa ating relihiyon ay madedepensahan ko at maipagtatanggol. Naalala ko ang kanyang sinabi bago kami nagpaalaman sa isat isa,Huwag mo akong kaawaan bagkus ang dapat nating kaawaan ay ang yaong mga tao na hindi pa ganap na sumusuko at kumikilala sa Diyos! Sa puntong iyon ay pinagnilayan ko ang sinabi niya, marahil tama nga siya. Bakit maraming mga normal na tao subalit hindi kilala si Kristo? Matatawag na sila ay buhay na patay. Gumagalaw pero patay naman ang paniniwala at walang pananalig. Ano kaya ang silbi nila dito sa lupa? Nararamdaman din kaya nila ang presensya ng Panginoon? Ang may kapansanan kaya ay nilikha upang kaawaan o para ipabatid sa atin na masuwerte pa rin tayong mga normal o marahil may iba pa itong nais ipahiwatig. Sinadya kaya ng Diyos na magkaganoon sila upang hiyain ang mga malalakas na walang kapansanan o para ipamukha sa atin na mapalad tayo at hindi natin tinatamasa ang ganoong kalagayan? Hindi natin dapat sayangin kung ano ang mayroon sa atin! Wala ngang kapansanan ang marami subalit hindi naman magamit sa wastong paraan. kung ang kaliitliitang insekto dito sa sanlibutan ay malaki ang pakinabang, tayo pa kayang mga tao na espesyal na ginawa at dinesenyo na may angking kaalaman? Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, Naniniwala ka na ba sapagkat nakita mo ako? Mapalad ang naniniwala kahit hindi nila ako nakikita. (Juan 20:29)

HATOL
ni Bro. Joel Tavarro Hindi ba ang paghusga ay kay Amang makapangyarihan Pangalawang maririnig doon lamang sa silid ng hukuman Sadya nga bang makating dila, dito rin ay may kinalaman Paghatol sa kapwa, kanya bang katuwaat kaligayahan. Buhay ng may buhay, pilit pinanghihimasukan Bakit hindi pahirin ang matang may tahilan Upang makita sa sarili ang iyong kapansanan Maruming pag-iisip, sana lang ay tigilan. Ang pakikisama sa iba, binibigyan ng kahulugan Tanging layunin lamang ay magkaroon ng kaibigan Baguhin ang asal, upang ikaw man din ay lapitan Madagdagan ang katangian, sasaya ang barkadahan. Akoy walang karismang taglay, di gaya nilang magandat gwapo Hindi matipuno, Lalong hindi matatawag na macho Sayo nga ay humahangang tunay dahil ikawy matalino Pagdating sa karamihan, ikaw pa ngay bibong bibo. Tulad koy hamak lamang na maginoong palabiro Masayang kasama, minsay tahimik, minsan namay seryoso Sa mga totoong tao, maalalahanin at maasikaso Sapagkat ito ay natural ng isilang sa ibabaw ng mundo

Panahon ng demokrasya, ako'y musmos pa Walang alam sa nangyayari sa EDSA Mga matatanday lumuwas sa Maynila Upang kalayaan maipagkaloob sa kanila.

I was fourteen.. when the sun was completely up revealing new worlds. Some were shown before my eyes, like periwinkle decor inside mansions. Others I had to search for like insects hiding inside tiny breaks on mountain precipices. I had to work hard for some like pounding grain with mortar and pestle, some I just picked up along the way. I was fourteen when I started to blush at every smiling girl who grew taller than I was. Never did I know Id try to peek under their skirts or steal a kiss away. My face reddened from pricking pimples with the nail on my thumb. Began to use deodorants and took a bath three times a day. But it was also at fourteen when I first experienced being intoxicated with alcohol and indulged with the pleasures of smoke wisping from my mouth. Id go home drunk walking in a circular path. Soon, I would have done it all from reefers to hash. So, I have been fourteen, too, my child. Believe me when I say all these may be fun but punishment comes once you get fortyto forty-one.

Pagtungtong ko sa aming paaralan Martial Law at Kudeta ang pinag uusapan At si Tatay sa akiy nagbigay ng kaalaman Pagpatak ng luhay hindi niya naiwasan.

Si Ninoy na nasa limang daang piso Kapag nagkaroon ay masaya na ako Ngunit napakahalaga pala ng simbolo nito Sagisag ng kalayaan nating mga Pilipino.

Wala na si Ninoy, wala na si Cory Ngunit sa alaala, silay mananatili Naganap ang pagkakaisa ng marami Nagmula sa dalawang tanging bayani.

Dama ko ang pagluluksa ng mahal na bansa Pati mga Pilipinong nasa bansang banyaga Sama-sama ang lahat sa pangungulila Para sa taong mahalaga at tunay na dakila.

Czarjeff Laban Kapag Tinawag ka ng Pag-ibig Ni Kahlil Gibran Salin ni Albert E. Alejo, S.J.

Hangad man niya ng iyong pagtubo, kamay rin nitya ang sa iyoy pupungos Akyatin man niya ang iyong katayugan at lambingin ng Mura mong uhay na nagniningning sa araw. Sisirain din niya ang iyong mga ugat at yuyugyugin Hanggang sa lupay bumitaw.

Kapag tinawag ka ng pag-ibig sumunod ka Kahit landas nyay mahirap, matarik

Sr. Diana and the rest of the HFCC community after the vigil. Kapag niyakap ka ng kangyang The HFCC had its Monthly Prayer Vigil last Aug. 1, 2009 at 9:30 pm at bagwis, pumayag ka the Philippine Center. The Prayer Vigil is held every 1st Saturday of Kahit masugatan ka ng lihim the month. The gathering started with a talk by Sr. Diana Madulara, nyang tinik RGS. Sr. Diana shared her reflections about the meaning of having a mission. She led the audience into a deeper reflection of Christs way in doing it, in going to places, sharing the Good News and healing the sick, both physically and in spirit. In her talk, she focused on the importance of being observant, sensitive, and action. She shared: kayo ng tumingin, hindi kayo makakakita. Mt. 13:14

At kapag ikawy kanyang kinausap, manalig ka, Mawasak man ng kanyang tinig ang iyong mga pangarap

Tulad ng mga bigkis ng mais titipunin ka sa kanyang dibdib Gigiikin kang mahubdan. Bibistayin upang lumaya. Gigilingin hanggang sa kaputian. At pagkaraan, itatalaga ka niya sa apoy na banal Upang maging tinapay na banal para sa banal na piging ng Poong Maykapal

Tulad ng pagkasalanta ng hardin sa hampas ng hilagang Makinig kayo ng makinig, hindi kayo makakaunawa. At tumingin man hangin.
Tumitingin tayo ngunit hindi nakakakita, nakakakita ngunit hindi nakakaunawa. Nakikinig tayo ngunit nagbibingibingihan, nakikinig ngunit Pagkat koronahan ka man ng hindi nakakaunawa, nakakaunawa ngunit hindi KUMIKILOS. pag-ibig, ipapako ka rin niya sa According to Sr. Diana, ang isang pagmimisyon ay isang pagkilos, paggawa, at pagtugon. In closing, she shared this poem, in relation to serving in a mission.

SA LIGAW NA PARU-PARO
Johnny Maliglig
Sadyang kapag yaong hardin ay may halamang bulaklak Marami ang paro-parong, umaaligid nang lipad Lalo na kung ang bulaklak, sariwa pang matatawag Pipilitng makadapo, magpapalipas ng oras

Bulaklak na sakdal dikit, sa hardin nang kabukiran Bangoy humahalimuyak, sa gabing katahimikan Nagbibigay ka nang sigla at tunay na kasiyahan Ginigising ang paligid, sa bango mong tinataglay

Kung isa ka sa napitas, at hindi naging matatag Sa ligaw na paru-paro, iwasang di mapahamak

Alam mo ang paru-parong, nag-iisang lumilipad Kapag ito ay napagod, naghahanap nang bulaklak Kung isa ka sa nakita, at hindi ka na nakailag

Kaya ang taglay mong ganda, at angkin mong katangian Pag-iingatan nang mabuti, at iyan ay kayamanan

Malalanghap ang bango mo, masisipsip yaong katas

Ganyan ang mga bulaklak, sabuhin ng paru-paro Marami ang naghahangad, malanghap ang kanyang bango Kaya sanay mag-iingat, huwag agad patutukso Iwasang di madapuan, nang ligaw na paru-paro

Pagkat ang isang bulaklak, pag napitas na sa tangkay Alagaan man nang dilig, malalanta nang tuluyan

Ito ay paalala, sa bulaklak inihambing Hwag magpadalus-dalos, sa paru-parong darating Iyan ay mga dayuhan, panlilinlang ang hangarin

Marami na ang bulaklak, na napitas at nalagas Subalit hindi nagbunga at nabigo sa pangarap

Bulaklak ay paaangkin.

mag-ingat

We will never meet a cynical and bleeding nation. And when you gladly turned woman as great as you for a very long time.

Thank you for being our strength when we were afraid. You gallantly showed us that to be a Filipimo we thank God that in our lifetime, we met a great Filipino like you. is great blessing from God. Thank you for showing us your greatness. You were born to wealth and plenty but Rest now, rest in peace Tita Cory! you lived in simplicity and humbly carried our painful misery. Thank you Tita Cory, thank you very much. Thank you for fighting for us. Thank you for teaching us how to live Tita Cory, thank you for teaching us how to pray. Amid and die for others. clashing voices and confusing noise, your prayer was a silent power. You taught us that true people power is prayer power. In the past weeks, as you suffered alone in your hospital room, you were still teaching us how to pray again. How your afflictions with grace-filled resignation taught us the dignity of suffering. Thank you for teaching us to stand up for freedom and to preserve democracy no matter the cost. You gave us a new meaning for yellow, the color of your love for your country and her people. Tita Cory, thank you for showing us the true meaning of love for family through your love for your children and their love for you. Even now in their moment of ineffable grief they share you with us, sacrificing moments of personal mourning and sharing with us their loving memories of you. Tita Cory, thank you for fighting for us. You never fought any battle for yourself. You surrendered everything to God a long time ago. You fought cancer valiantly, not for you, but for us, because we told you we needed you and we were afraid to face life without you. In our heart of hearts, we whispered to God to take away your pains and give them all to us. Tita Cory, we were willing to suffer instead of you. That is how much we love you.

We promise to love this country as you loved us. There is darkness in our land because you are gone. But we know, we have enough light within us because you have shared with us your fire. Were not ready to live without you. It will take a long while to start again without you but move on to heaven, dear Tita Cory, move on. The battle is over, the victory is won. You are now truly free. You are now fully happy. Move on to heaven and be with your beloved Ninoy forever. Heaven is where the two of you will die no longer. Harvest the rich of fruits of your toil on earth. When in heaven, I know you will see again my beloved Cardinal Sin. Please bring to him my love and with him pray to God for our beloved country, the Philippines. Rest now Tita Cory, rest in God. Paalam po, at Salamat. http://newsinfo. inquirer. net/breakingnews /nation/ view/ 20090805- 218849/Final- commendation- byBishop- Soc-Villegas
