1 AUGUST ISSUE: FEAST OF ST. PETER JULIAN EYMARD Vol. 1 No. 3 C OMMUNYO COMMUNIO is a seasonal publication of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament Cagayan de Oro with the desire and effort to assist, understand the season and it's implication in our Christian life. Eymard's Family Day By: Fr. Muriel A. Uy, SSS Eymard's Family Day" in our parish is designed for us to achieve this desire of St. Peter Julian Eymard for us to become the people of prayer, the people who have a good and strong relationship with our God, to be a community and parish that is in total communion with our God. Our communion here as a family and as a community is a reflection of the Kingdom of God. Looking at the life of St. Peter Julian Eymard and understanding his line of thinking, we can see that his sole desire in life is to "Stay very close to our Lord and see His holy will in everything that happens." This is from his own mouth also as he gives a sort of reminder to his followers and friends. For him the very thing that man should develop and gives emphasis is his own relationship with his loving God and creator. That is why his ministry is centered on the loving communion between God and man. This can be seen in his daily life of adoration and giving emphasis on the celebration of the Eucharist. On August 5, 2017 We will be celebrating our 2nd Eymard's Family Day. And on this day we will celebrate the goodness of God, his unconditional love for us. We will start our day with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 8am. Then follows the program, presentations, and games. Then at 11:30am we will have our lunch. May we see the oneness of the Kingdom of God in this day of our togetherness. Now as members of his family it is our task to continue his sole desire in life, and that is to promote the devotion of the Holy Eucharist and inviting people to strengthen their relationship with our God by constant prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. It is being said that "The best time that we can have on earth is the time we use in talking and listening to God," and that is our prayer. Indeed this is true, because in doing this we can have the direction and meaning of life. This is what we want in life and we can only have this if we have God in us

6 We are Men of Adoration By: Fr. Clifford Barrios, SSS JESUS is there in the BLESSED SACRAMENT everybody to HIM. By profession we are men of adoration and what is adoration: it is your métier, the divine métier, the angelic métier of the church (Saint Peter Julian Eymard) Sac ramen in Eymard's missionary work in his time was focused on promoting the significance of the Eucharist in the whole life of the people by which he was known as an outstanding apostle of the Eucharist. And we as a member of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, founded by Saint Peter Julian Eymard, we continue to work together to proclaim God's love through Eucharist. We always follow the footsteps of our founder by making our life a Eucharist by fulfilling the mission of our Congregation, to respond to the hungers of the human family with the riches of God's love manifested in the Eucharist. As religious and a priest of more than 10 years in the Congregation, I am fulfilling the missionary work which Father Eymard asked. Even the people will say, Thank you father for celebrating the Eucharist. There is always a communion with different status, culture and communities every time I celebrate the Eucharist. I am thankful that I am one of those who share the body of Christ to the people. Recalling the miracle story of the multiplication of bread, when Jesus took the bread give thanks and blessed it; gave it to his disciples and share it to the people. And the celebration continues, from the hand of Jesus Christ, to the Disciples, to Saint Eymard, to me and to the people that I continue his magnificent works embodying my life to be the Eucharist in the service to the people. CAGAYAN DE ORO COMMUNITY with Fr. Joseph Matitu, SSS and Bp. Renato Mayugba, DD taken during the 2016 POLA Annual Retreat in Tagaytay City. The challenge for us is to live a Eucharist as Profession, as the Divine Profession and as the Angelic Profession of the Church; which Saint Peter Julian Eymard reiterated in his writings and journals, By profession we are men of adoration and what is adoration: it is your métier, the divine métier, the angelic métier of the church. 11 He profoundly binds us in a Eucharistic adoration, forming us a MEN OF ADORATION. We were not sent to any schools to have a degree in adoration but this is our noble profession. Recollecting the movie, we are identified in the likeness of Men in Black, which makes me a confident smile. We are recognized as such by different communities, congregations and lay people. We've created, nourished and grown into Men of Adoration as we go along our formation stages. It certainly equipped us for the entitled profession manifested when we received our final/perpetual vow. This is now our life, upholding the Eucharist to the people as men of adoration. Saint Eymard continues, What is adoration? and he responded, it is your métier, the divine métier, the angelic métier of the church. Searching for the other meaning of the word profession ; it has other implication such as 'occupation', 'living', 'job', 'career', 'work', 'business' and 'vocation'. Reading the mind of Father Eymard, we are not entitled to be monetary paid or to receive a salary in adoration. In his heart, it is our vocation: an invitation or a calling for each one of us and me. An invitation of Jesus to his disciples to pray with him and through St. Eymard he is calling us to be with Christ in adoration. This passage will forever leave an imprint in my heart, By profession we are men of adoration and what is adoration: it is your métier, the divine métier, the angelic métier of the church. It will always be my sacred covenant because during my preparation for perpetual profession I know St. Peter has endowed this to me during my searching that I accidently come across on these powerful words and decided it to be written on the stampita as a souvenir. I hope it will not only remain in a souvenir paper but it would always be a guiding light in my heart and to us as a métier of the church.
