The Chapel of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, Quezon City, Philippines

Quezon City, Philippines

I just wanted to share my family's experience last Saturday when we had our pilgrimage to the Chapel of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina in Libis, Quezon City, Philippines.

We planned to go there at 1:00 PM since, under our calculated assumption, many people during that time are still having their Lunches and, therefore, few people will be at the chapel.

We preferred not to join the "rush" of people because with us is my nephew who is suffering from Seizure Disorder and Global Developmental Delay (Please pray for His immediate healing). But due to some unprecedented turn of events, we failed to be there at our appointed time. Instead, we arrived there at 4:30 PM, just in time for the Recitation of the Holy Rosary and, afterwards, the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Holy Mass was very moving, one can sense the Divine Sacredness of the celebration. After the Holy Mass, we joined the other pilgrims in qeueing up on designated places to be anointed with Holy Oil. The Extraordinary (Lay) Ministers, who were tasked with the Anointing, were not just putting the Holy Oil in our forehead, but sincerely praying over us, one by one.

It's been more than a year since me and my friends in the online ministry attended the 1st ever CSMS (Catholic Social Media Summit) held at the Renaissance Convention Center in Marikina City, Philippines. It was a very lively event participated by Priests, Religious and the Laity coming from different dioceses and groups across the country.

Last Friday (January 29, 2010), relic of the great Saint John Vianney was elevated on the side altar of our parish.

An "Extraordinary" Experience

The sky was dark and seems that the weather will not cooperate in this much awaited endeavor of the 100% Katolikong Pinoy NCR members, that is, to attend the traditional and Extraordinary Form of the Mass (Tridentine Latin Rite).

But Praise God, everything turn out to be smooth and fine..

Web Ministry - 100 % Katolikong Pinoy FS Group Assembly

May 16, 2009 niloob ng Panginoon, sa tulong ng moderator, core group at mga sponsors, na maganap ang pinaka-una at pinakahihintay na pagtitipon ng mga miyembro ng virtual group sa Friendster, ang 100 % Katolikong Pinoy..

Before the High Mass: Dean, Ryan, Fr. Zenki, Randolf and the Acolytes

The assembly was commenced with a High Mass celebrated by Fr. Zenki Manabat.. Sa kanyang homily, binigyang diin ang katuturan ng isang grupong may layuning ipalaganap ang salita at Pag-ibig ng Diyos sa gitna ng isang mundong nakatuon sa materyalismo..

100 % Katolikong Pinoy members during the 1st NCR assembly

Pagkakaibigang nagsimula sa isang internet catholic forum.. Iba-iba ang mga opinyon at pananaw, subalit nagkakaisa naman sa iisang layunin, ang lubusang makilala at maintindihan ang Pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sangkatauhan..

"It's I, It's you, It's we, It's Christ who builds community!" (Animation Part)

Hindi man ganon kadami ang dumating, nagkaroon pa rin kami ng isang masaya, makabuluhan at mabiyayang pagtitipon.. hindi naging hadlang ang aming bilang upang masigabong papurihan at parangalan ang ating Diyos na buhay.. kapansin-pansin din ang mga mala-anghel na tinig ng 100% KP Choir na mas lalong nagbigay kulay sa kabuuan ng assembly..

Isang natatanging experience ang maging bahagi ng assembly na ito, lalo't higit sa akin, na naghahanap pa rin hanggang ngayon ng mga kasagutan sa tawag na aking naririnig..
