Mary Help of Christians joins the 38th Intramuros Grand Marian Procession



Let us accompany our Blessed Mother, the Help of Christians, the patroness of OFW families as she joins the 38th Intramuros Grand Marian Procession this Sunday, December 3, 2017.

Assembly is at the Postigo Open Parking Lot beside the Manila Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. The procession starts at 4:00 PM. MHC is Carozza Number 27.

TRIVIA:

  • The numbers 2 and 7 are very significant in the History of the Devotion to Mary Help of Christians for it was on May 24, 1972  that the cornerstone of the Church (future National Shrine) of Our Lady in Better Living, Paranaque was laid.

The Statue enthroned by Archbishop Guglielmo Piani, SDB then Apostolic Delegate to the Philippines at the Mary Help of Christians Chapel within Manila Cathedral in 1922. This statue is now enshrined at the National Shrine in Paranaque

Maria Auxilium Christianorum, Ora pro nobis!

Hello! I have been away from blogging for a long time and here I am going back into it. If you haven't known yet. I learned how to pray the official prayer (Post-Vatican II) of the Catholic Church since 2012 when I had a 5 month experience of being an aspiring religious in initial formation. I entered the Capuchins as an aspirant and then chose to be accepted as a postulant after some weeks. As a good way to start a new Liturgical Year, I have though of creating a challenge to motivate me into praying more consistently. For everyone's info, the Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office is the official prayer of the Catholic Church. It has Psalms, Biblical Canticles, Hymns, Scriptural Readings and more. Many people have the idea that it is for the Clergy and the Religious. However, lay people are actually encouraged to pray at least a part of the cycle of prayers (Hours). There are even smartphone apps that help you pray. Even if you do not have the prayer books. I've had the

Skype Classic is BACK. For now.

After public backlash due to the "discontinuation" of the Skype for Windows Desktop that we know and love due to a security issue with its installer, Skype Classic is back with version 7.41.0.101. Many Skype users still favor the Classic Skype rather than the Half-baked, Snapchat clone NEW Skype. Many users were  not pleased upon the news earlier this year that the vulnerability with the Skype Classic installer won't be fixed to put focus on their costumer-hated NEW Windows desktop client. Due to insistent public demand and to losing loyal customers to other services. Microsoft has fixed the issue and released an update to Classic Skype. However, it is not yet safe to presume that they will continue support for Classic Skype in the near future. If only ALL features, settings (especially the advanced ones) and Desktop API support are in the NEW Skype then perhaps the backlash would not have been that severe. You may download the installer here

Pag-ibig nga ba?

Pag-ibig nga ba? isang tula ni: Leonard Andrew Villanueva Pag-ibig nga ba Ang aking nadama? Noong tayo’y magkasama pa. Noong nasisilayan pa kita. Pag-ibig nga ba Na sa tuwing napapa-awit ka Puso ko’y napupuno ng kakaibang tuwa Tuwang sa’yo ko palang nadama? Pag-ibig nga ba Nang ako’y nabighani sa angkin mong ganda? Sa nangungusap mong mga mata At kutis mo na kay ganda. Pag-ibig nga ba Na sa paglipas ng ilang taon, Tila’y ika’y linta Na nakakapit sa aking ala-ala? Ako ay umaasa Na ika’y muling makita Nang tuluyan ko nang mabatid  Kung inibig nga ba kita.
