 Holy

all the world
That all Christians,
sensitive to the distressing condition of the peoples who are still

towards their brothers.

 GIVING
GLORY TO GOD by Bro. Pete Lapid
- Our relationships with God and with
our neighbor are reflected on the Cross, one of the powerful symbols of
our Christian faith. The Cross, as we see it, is made up of two lines or
axis. The horizontal line represents our relationship with God. The
vertical line represents our relationship with our neighbor, the people
around us.

 LIVING
THE COMMANDMENTS
-
by Fr. S. Binzler, SJ
- The first
commandment was never among our problems. We never adored strange
gods. In the list of possible sins - in the examination of conscience -
there were always the questions: What have I done wrong with God?
Have I always sought and done His will?

 LAW
OR LOVE? by Fr. KJ. Veeger, MSC
- Love is called the
greatest or most important, because the Ten Commandments are no more
than love applied to various fields. Virtues are branches of the
tree of love. Prayer wells up from a heart that loves.

 BECAUSE
HE SAYS SO by Philip Yuson
- Very often,
the Lord leads us to situations that will require radical trust in Him.
This means that humanly speaking, what He is asking us to do will be
impossible or fruitless.

 CONSISTENT
OBEDIENCE by Ramon Martillano
- Road signs such as
“No Parking,” “Do Not Enter,” “No Left Turn” (bawal kumaliwa in
Tagalog), “No U-turn,” etc. are consistently followed by most
drivers/car owners. Why? Because a traffic violation in Manila could
mean a thousand pesos (US$ 20) in penalty plus a week-long seminar on
traffic rules and regulations.

 CALLED
TO BE FISHERS OF MEN
-
by Fr. Agustinus Belo, PR
- Long before He
sent His Son into the world as Savior of mankind, God called and sent
prophets to help Him, to bring the news of repentance to sinners. One of
the prophets is Jonah who was chosen to become the fisher of sinful men
of Nineveh, a city of unbelievers.

 THE
NEEDED RULES by Carolle Bautista
- Why
is it so hard to abide by God's commandments when it all seems so easy
to follow? Why is it so easy to fall into sin even if we try
our best to be close to God always? Why is it that we often say we
love Him but our actions say otherwise?

DAY EXODUS: Catholic Flee Iraq - Catholic News Service
- VATICAN CITY
(CNS) -- Buried in the Vatican's new yearbook for 2003 is a striking
statistic, and it helps explain Vatican apprehension about a new war in
Iraq. At the start of 1991, just before the first Persian Gulf War, the
Catholic population of Baghdad was counted at more than 500,000.

the news and discussed all around us!

 Saint
for the Month: ST.
AGATHA
- Though we have
evidence that Agatha was venerated at least as far back as the sixth
century, the only facts we have about her are that she was born in
Sicily and died there a martyr. In the legend of her life, we are told
that she belonged to a rich, important family.
