Isn’t our
Blessed Mother the role model of our mothers today? The
gentle and persuasive go-between children and fathers. The
peacemaker when siblings are fighting. The ‘mom’ uttered by a
hurt child. The person who sits and prays untiringly throughout
the night by her sick child’s bed. Don’t we honor our very own
mothers who have done and who continue to do so much for us?
Then why can’t we do the same for our Blessed Mother?

 PONDER
THEM IN OUR HEART by Philip Yuson
-
They had just told her of what the angels told them about the
Child - that He was to be the Messiah – the Lord. This was
probably something that was unbelievable to everyone who heard
of it. But instead of disregarding the news, Mary treasured
the words and pondered them in her heart.

 DO YOU
HAVE CLASS
by Ramon Martillano
- We
have to have good character. Our words, actions and thoughts
should be always pleasing to God even when no human is looking
because actually, God is always watching us, 24 hours a day. We
need to be good leaders not only in our Community but also in
the office and at home. READ MORE

 MARIAN
SHARING by Ana Lee Masias
- It’s been said many times that if one wants to keep a
conversation neutral and free of arguments, then politics and
religion are topics to stay clear from. For the most part, I do
stick by this rule. But I remember very clearly one particular
time when I didn’t comply. READ

 MARIAN
REFLECTION by Leslie Freires
- Of all
biblical women, nobody was as faithful and obedient, and as
chosen as Mary. And why not? She is after all the Mother of
the Most High, our Lord Jesus Christ. God, in His might and
power, chose a simple and humble lady. READ

 IF WE
COULD BE LIKE MARY by Carolle Bautista
- When I learned how to say my prayers, I was eventually able
to pray the Rosary, which I realized much later was taught to us
by Mother Mary herself. But because of my young age, I did not
yet understand why the prayer took so long to recite and often
found it difficult to finish the prayer.

 THE
TRIBUTE
by Sansu Garin
- Before I ever attended school, at about 4 or 5 years old
then. At nights, while kneeling or lying in bed beside my mother,
I would recite the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary after her.
Night after night, she patiently led me through these prayers…
Until I mastered them myself and prayed on my own.

husband was a man of violent temper.
