My siblings wanted to help me but that time they couldn t and because we don t have enough money, I had to stop. In about four years, I worked on different jobs - factory, super market, construction and even as a tricycle driver, but these were still not enough to continue my studies. God is good because one of my brothers assured me that if I would be accepted in Don Bosco-Makati, he would shoulder my monthly fee for my board and lodging. When I was reporting in Don Bosco Makati for the screening, my brother would lend his tricycle in order for me to earn and use it as my transportation from Laguna going to Don Bosco-Makati. I was able to pass the entrance exam and screening in Don Bosco. Then Brod. Elmer Rodriguez recommended me to Santuario de San Antonio Parish JPIC Scholarship Program.

2 Parish Bulletin SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION By Fr. Reu Jose C. Galoy, OFM POPE FRANCIS: JESUS IS THE BREAD OF LIFE Pope Francis has urged the faithful to look beyond material needs and turn to Jesus who is the bread of life. The Pope s words came as he addressed the crowds gathered in St. Peter s Square for the Sunday Angelus.) Taking his cue from the Gospel reading which tells of the crowd that went looking for Jesus, not because they saw the signs but because they had eaten the loaves of bread and were filled, Pope Francis pointed out that those people gave more value to the bread than to He who gave them the bread. He explained that before this spiritual blindness, Jesus highlights the need to look beyond the gift and discover the giver. God himself the Pope said is the gift and is also the giver. Jesus invites us the Pope continued to be open to a perspective which is not only that of daily preoccupation and material needs; Jesus speaks to us of a different kind of food, food which is not corruptible and that we must search for and welcome into our lives. He exhorts us not to work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life which the Son of Man will give us, he said. With these words Pope Francis continued He wants us to understand that beyond a physical hunger, man has a different kind of hunger we all have this hunger a more important 2 RANDOM THOUGHTS Voices from yesterday and today By: Peachy Maramba ST. CLARE: FIRST WOMAN FRANCISCAN SAINT August 11 It s hard to believe that a beautiful rich girl would give up everything we consider to be the good life for a life of extreme poverty and penance. Yet this is what Lady Clare born of the noble Offreducci family in Assisi, Italy in 1194 did. Impressed and deeply moved by the Lenten sermons of St. Francis in 1212 that portrayed his deep kind of hunger that cannot be satisfied with ordinary food. It is the hunger for life - the hunger for eternity - that only He can satisfy because He is the bread of life, he said. And pointing out that the true meaning of our earthly existence is to be found at the end, in eternity, Pope Francis said that to be open to meeting Jesus every day of our lives will illuminate our lives and give meaning to small gifts, sufferings and preoccupations. And quoting from the Gospel of John, the Pope said Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. This he said refers to the Eucharist, the greatest gift that fulfills body and soul. To meet and to welcome Jesus, the bread of life Pope Francis concluded gives meaning and hope to our lives that are sometimes tortuous; but this spirituality she was inflamed with a love for the poor and suffering Christ that she secretly begged the astounded Francis to take her under his wing and allow her to follow in his footsteps living after the manner of the holy gospel. Convinced of her sincerity and earnestness in her desire to live all things of Christ, Francis met her surreptitiously and gave her the spiritual counseling and guidance she ached for. After a year, 18-year old Clare secretly left her home and came to consecrate herself to the Lord at the Porziuncola, St. Francis s headquarters outside Assisi. Before Francis and his band of followers Clare took the vows of the Franciscan order thus making her the first woman Franciscan follower of II Paverello the poor one) and the founding moment of the Order of Poor Clares, the second Franciscan order. Since Francis had no convent yet for women he placed Clare in an old Benedictine convent near Bastia. When her parents tracked her down there they tried to bring her back as they considered Franciscan poverty not only degrading but also a disgrace to their good name. They only gave up trying turn to page 3 bread of life he said - also gives us the duty to satisfy the spiritual and material needs of our brothers. To do this he said- we must announce the Gospel everywhere, and with the witness of a fraternal attitude of solidarity towards our neighbor, we can make Christ and his love present amongst men.

3 Random Thoughts...from page 2 to forcibly bring her back when she showed them her shorn head. Francis then moved her to Sant Angelo di Panzo convent. Sixteen days later Clare s younger sister Agnes joined her. Others came. In time even Clare s widowed mother and Beatrice, another sister, joined them. So did three members of one of the most influential families of Florence. To this day the Poor Clares are flourishing not only in Spain, Italy and France but throughout the world even in the Philippines called Santa Clara. They were called Poor Clares because of the way they lived the virtue of holy poverty. They lived a simple life according to the rule of formula of life that Francis gave them as the Second Order. They also lived a life of strict penance. When Clare inherited a fortune from her father she gave everything to the poor and to hospitals unbelievably keeping nothing for the Poor Ladies. Clare was given many gifts by God so she is credited with many miracles even cures. Clare tried so hard to emulate Francis whom she called her Father, Planter and Helper in the Service of Christ that she adopted and strove to carry out her ideal and mentor s Rule of perfection: that his order should never possess any rents or other property even in common, subsisting on daily contributions. St. Clare died on August 11, 1253 at Assisi at the age of 60. At her death there were already at least 120 Poor Clare monasteries. Her own sister Agnes became a saint like Clare who was solemnly canonized by Pope Alexander IV on 15 August St. Clare is the patron of embroiderers and of television. She is also patron of eye diseases, gilders, goldsmiths, laundry workers, oculists and telephones. She is invoked against fever and blindness. SOURCES of REFERENCE: Butler s Lives of the Saints Vol. III pp ; Meditation on the Saints Vol. 4 pp ; The Way of the Saints pp ; and others. Poor Clare proved to be not very poor after all. She was rich in the love of God and all that knew her. She was rich in the blessed life she led. Read more on St. Clare of Assisi at our website Are you suffering from sickness or old age? The ABC s of Catholic Doctrine by Lianne Tiu It is hard to accept physical decline and the limitations that come with ailments or with aging. One must reject the temptation to think that his life is no longer of any value or that he is no longer important to others. In itself, illness is a trial of faith. It can destroy some and strengthen others. Some go into rebellion or plunge into night of despair. Some take it calmly because they put all their trust in the Lord. A person suffering from sickness or old age still has his appointment with tomorrow. However, it is a tomorrow that is not centered on success or on public recognition of his personal merits. Rather, it consists of God s positive judgment of him. God is pleased not so much on the results of one s action but on the love he puts into it. Thus, the key to the problem is to adjust, to accept one s situation and to try to find meaning in it. In the face of pain, sickness, fatigue and old age, the only proper attitude is that of loving acceptance after employing all human means to overcome them). These sufferings can be opportunities August 9, 2015 to express one s love for God, to unite himself with Him, to pay for his past sins, to gain virtues, and to send graces to his friends. This should be the goal: to transform the suffering into an offering. When he knows how to accept it, it purifies. Reference: Ethical Practices in Health & Disease by Michael Monge, M.D.) 3

4 Parish Bulletin Francistfest...from page 1 there were so many things I ve learned from SSAP JPIC Scholarship Program like how to be a Kristyanong Mamamayan, the mentoring of the Committee members during Cluster groupings, participating in Parish Involvement and other useful activities of the Parish. The SSAP JPIC Scholarship did not stop in helping us even after we graduated. They helped us to look for On-the-Job Training and possible employment. I was fortunate also that they shouldered the cost of my Safety of Life Above the Sea SOLAS) training in order to have a Seaman s book. I would like to say a million THANK YOUs to Santuario de San Antonio Parish - JPIC Scholarship Program, to all the generous sponsors and to the staff for BELIEVING and for NOT GIVING UP on us. Now, my mother is very proud of me but I should say that I am much proud for having her. I have my own house and lot, I helped my mother reconstruct our old house and with God s grace my niece graduated Commerce last March, 2012 at FEU and is currently employed. Before, I worked in KGJS Fleet Makati in a Gear bulk vessel going around the world. Then, last March I applied and was hired by Magsaysay Shipping. Now, I am on board in a Gear bulk vessel. Thank you very much Lord for all that I have now. And to all the scholars, ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD and DON T EVER GIVE UP in your dreams. May God bless you all always. Jeffrey San Miguel Next week: Testimonial of Maila Nosora) LOVE TO ALL WHO ENTER Greetings to fellow worshippers from someone that comes from far away, both literally and spiritually. Five years ago, I was lost. My wife and I were struggling to have a child and we had no faith. Unbeknownst to me a hand guided me to this place. I walked the streets without purpose and wanted to turn around many times. I found myself here and I completely humbled myself before God and Mother Mary. Here, I found the strength in me through prayer. Here, I found the faith that was missing. Here, I found God. Today, I have a two year old girl and I know who I am. My humble request is that this confession of devotion remain in this chapel so that, perhaps, another lost soul may find it. Strength through prayer. From an Adoration Chapel adorer. Chapel of Porziuncola) 4 Part 2 Continued from last week) Back in Manila I d be thinking and reflecting on what had happened during this charity work that I did. As Fr. Reu asked us, what was a striking memory for you; I would say that during the whole experience we all felt that everything was striking and memorable cause everything was a first for all of us. But as we were reminiscing on what we did during the whole experience one thing came to mind that was very meaningful to me. It was when we had our sharings with the beneficiary families. We were all divided into groups so that time would be more efficient. There were stories told that some of them were all safe and intact as a family and some were devastating ones with one or two or three that had died during the storm. Some were miraculous stories too. Hearing each and everyone s experiences in my group kept me thinking that they are all so strong and that their faith has grown so much. Devastating news like this would make me think how can I move on? I d probably even question the Lord why it happened. I would wonder how they can just look at life and be positive about it. No grudges on what happened to them. No ill feelings towards the Lord on the devastation that haunts them even until this very day. Where do they get this optimistic view in life? How can A Samar-itans call to Mission by Hannah G. Roa they just move on without being a bit negative about the experience? There was one member in my group that even before she started sharing her story she started crying. She explained herself to the others in Waray, in which I could not understand. I could only figure out the context of what her explanation was about her crying and what I got from it was it s either been a while or it was the first time she ever spoke about her experience. It made me tear up cause she was so brave to even go forward and share what had happened to her even if it was hard to do so. She lost her mom, her sister and another member of her family to Yolanda but if you see her now she seems happy and optimistic. Ready to take on the world. There was also a mother who shared about their arduous incident on how she almost lost her child. Her child s lips were already blue because of being swept by the water but she never let go of her in her arms and she kept on telling her daughter not to give up. Breath. Breath. She survived but had such a traumatic experience that she does not want to be left alone at home and when the rains start she would murmur to her mother anjan ulit ang tubig in their native tongue. How sad to hear these stories and feeling helpless not to be able to do something for them. What uplifts me though is the turn to page 5

5 August 9, 2015 A Samar...from page 4 fact that all of them have been thanking God for keeping them alive and blessing them with people like us that helped them through moving on. In hearing them speak about what they went through and seeing how they are now, optimistic and happy, makes me realize that life is just simple if you make it to be and that if you have faith anything is possible in the Lord. From hearing mass in the mornings, working the whole day, to bondings after dinner I would say this was a fun and meaningful experience for me. I ve made friends, learned from the locals about life and faith, solidified my friendships with my co-syaers that were there with me during this Franciscan Solidarity Camp and I realized that, as Jolly [Gomez] said it best rephrased a bit), when you work with a community that works together the task is easier than doing it alone. So for those that seem to see the world as being difficult or challenging remember to ask for help from your community or faith family, cause someone and maybe even everyone will definitely give a helping hand. We are all called to mission, whether to be disciples to spread the word of the Lord or to be carpenters to use our hands and help build lives. This is our mission. Another mission trip to Samar will be done at the end of August. This project is a beneficiary of FrancisFest Your donations and support through FrancisFest will help raise more funds to finish the houses. ed.
