Teachings on the Beatitudes, works of mercy and inspiring
testimonies nourished the Community this month.
-
- AUGUST 15, 2003
-
The continuing talk on the beatitudes given this time by
Bro. Dolreich, was about “Blessed are the poor
in spirit, for theirs is the
Kingdom of God.”
“Blessed are the poor” does not mean that only the poor can enter the
Kingdom of God. Poor in this context pertains to our own admission that
we are nothing and that God is everything.

 Inspired
by the teachings on the Beatitudes, we held our second Works of Mercy
outreach for the year on this day. Our beneficiaries are the “omas” and
“opas” of Yayasan Panti Wherda Bina Bhakti (a home for the aged).
A program was held filling the Yayasan’s hall with music and dancing,
mostly from the unstoppable “omas” and “opas”, as well as gift giving.
Our hearts were filled with joy because of their beautiful smiles and
kindness. We thank Bro. Noel Abawag and the members of the Works of
Mercy Ministry for spearheading this visit and the many generous members
who willingly shared their time and resources. More photos on below.

The Community held another Rosary Worship. Led by Bro.
Pete, we meditated on the Sorrowful Mysteries and worshipped God through
prayers and songs. We also prayed for healing (physical, spiritual,
emotional, relationships in marriages, family, etc.) believing that “by
His wounds we are healed.”

- AUGUST 29, 2003
- We were blessed to
have Fr. Francis Teo and Bro. John, from the Missionary Community of
Saint Paul the Apostle and Mary, Mother of the Church. Fr. Francis
shared with us his inspiring experiences ministering to the Turkana
nomadic tribe in Kenya. He said that as missionaries, they are tasked
to preach the Gospel to all but it was difficult to tell them about the
body and blood of Christ when the people have neither food to eat nor
water to drink. So, aside from giving them spiritual nourishment, they
also assist in promoting the livelihood of the people. Donations are
welcome if anyone wants to share blessings to God’s people in Kenya.

After the 1st Friday celebration of the Holy
Eucharist by Fr. Veeger, the Community shared in the sumptuous dinner
prepared by the Edullantes family. Would you believe that 4 family
members are celebrating their birthdays in September. Happy, Happy
Birthday!!! God bless you all.

- SEPTEMBER 12, 2003
- Another talk on
the Beatitudes – “Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy”
– was given by one of our teachers, Sis. Renelyn Palatolon. She pointed
out that mercy is justice in action.

WORKS OF MERCY IN ACTION:
-
Yayasan Panti Wherda Bina Bhakti
- TELL US LIKE IT IS!
- Has something
wonderful and unique happened in your life lately? Did God answer your
prayer in a very unexpected way? Did you, like Isaiah, meet God’s
whisper?
- Have you felt His
powerful hand working in your life recently?
- Everyday, people are
experiencing God’s mighty Word in their lives and it is a pity that very
few know about it. Do you have a story to tell? Some Good News to
share?
- E-mail us (genesis@catholic.org) or fax us
(021-6627384), and tell us about it. That’s right! You don’t have to be
a great writer to do this. We can help you write it – just tell us like
it is!

the subject: “Let Me Tell You A
