The Two Swords of the Church
These two types of authority by the Church are symbolically represented by the
two swords of the Gospel: “So they said, ‘Lord, behold, there are two swords
here.’ But he said to them, ‘It is sufficient.’ ” Lk 22:38. The Church has the
authority to teach doctrine, on matters of faith, morals, and salvation. But
the Church also has temporal authority, so that She can make practical decisions, discipline needed to function as a Church within the world, as a Church whose
members on earth are sinners.Look also HERE

Candlemas
(also spelled Candlemass), also known as the Feast of the
Presentation of Our Lord Jesus and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, is a Christian Holy Day commemorating the presentation of Jesus at
the Temple.
Many Christians (especially Roman Catholics Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans,
and Orthodox) also bring their candles to their local church, where they are
blessed and then used for the rest of the year; for Christians, these blessed
candles serve as a symbol of Jesus Christ, who referred to himself as the Light
of the World.

Virgin of Candelaria or Our Lady of Candelaria
In the Philippines, she is the patroness of Western Visayas region enshrined in
Jaro
Cathedral or the National Shrine of Our Lady of Candles under the
Archdiocese of Jaro (with feast day every 2 February), and Barangay Tatala in
Binangonan, Rizal, which celebrates her feast on the First Saturday of February.
In Silang, Cavite, her feast is observed locally as a triduum from February 1 to
3, with February 2 kept as the actual feast day.

From St. Peter's Basilica, Holy Mass for Consecrated persons marking the XXIII
World Day for Consecrated Life
Consecration
an act by which a person or a thing is separated from secular or profane use and
dedicated permanently to the sacred by prayers, rites, and ceremonies.
Within the Roman Catholic Church, the act of consecration typically can be
applied to a bishop, a fixed altar, an altar stone, a church, and a chalice and
paten. The ordinary minister of a consecration is a bishop, while the ordinary
minister of a blessing is a priest. At a consecration, holy oils are normally
used; at blessings, customarily holy water. |

Cardinal Tagle, priests baptize 400 kids from Manila slums
Paterno Esmaquel II January 14, 2017Manila
Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle and other priests baptized 400 children
from the slums of Manila on Saturday, January 14, as part of a Catholic
foundation's programs for the poor.
He also reminded godparents that their duty is not to give gifts, but to help
parents in raising their children.
Organizers said they want to dispel the notion that Catholics need to pay for
the sacraments – which, they said, keeps the poor away from baptism. |

Hindi Kita Malilimutan - Song for the dead
Every year, Filipinos gather with their families to
pay respect to their departed loved ones. As with the other stages of
life, death is traditionally commemorated through customs and rituals
that usually involve music. In recent times, popular love songs are
being sung or played during funerals as people say goodbye to their
departed. Perhaps the most popular is Hindi Kita Malilimutan popularized
by Basil Valdez and composed by Manoling Francisco, SJ in 1979, with
lyrics based on the Book of Isaiah from the Old Testament.

Bataan bishop scraps fees for funeral Masses
Paterno Esmaquel II March 13, 2019
Balanga Bishop Ruperto Santos ordered the scrapping of fees for funeral Masses
in his diocese, which covers Bataan province, to ease the burden of families and
friends of the deceased.
This is the latest in a growing trend in the Philippine Catholic Church to scrap
the arancel system, or the practice of imposing taxes on 'free' church services. |

The traditions to offer novena prayers at the home of the
departed that ends with a simple meal. Both of them are reckoned from the day of
the death of the loved one though some places people set it from the day of the
first mass said for the soul of the dearly departed. The "ritual" simply
consists of regular formulaic prayer, novena for the dead and several litanies
that can be recited from memory by the "prayer warriors" probably due to almost

The cost of dying in the Philippines: Can you afford it?
Ralf Rivas November 01, 2019
While death is said to be the great equalizer, the divide between the rich and
the poor is still evident in how they are sent off.
Living is expensive. Departing is pricey, too.
While death absolves one of debt and all other financial obligations, loved ones
carry the burden of the cost of burial and other services on top of grief. |

Ashes of the dead after
cremation should not be scattered or kept at homes to avoid desecration of human
remains and should still be buried because of the Catholic church's belief in
the resurrection of the body-- ‘Second tragedy’: Cremation traumatizes in
virus-hit PH
May 3, 2020 Manila Bulletin Online
Families of coronavirus (COVID-19) victims in the Philippines are being denied
traditional death rites in favour of hurried, impersonal cremations, with virus
restrictions often meaning they are forbidden a last look at their loved ones.
It is a painful and disorienting process for both the families and crematory
workers that has upended the Philippines’ intimate rituals of laying the dead to
rest. |

offered their lives for others and have persevered until death in this regard.”

Basilica del Sto. Niño
with Basilica Del Santo Niño Library
Heeding the wise advice of St. Augustine of Hippo that in
every house there should be a library (Possidius 31, 6,8), the
Augustinian Friars of the Basilica put up a library in one of the
corners of the convent. We don’t exactly know when this library was put
up, but it is safe to surmise that it was established when the convent
was constructed and completed in 1764.

Ritual at the end of the Sinulog Festival
A few days after the feast of the
Sto. Niño de Cebu every Third Sunday of January, the so-called “Hubo” (a
Cebuano term meaning “naked”) ritual takes place during the early
morning celebration of the Holy Mass, marking the end of the Sinulog
Festival in Cebu. Seen from the outside, it appears as a simple rite of
undressing, bathing and redressing the image of the Holy Child. The icon
is stripped of its elaborate festive garments, washed, and dressed with
a simpler garb.

Mahal na Itim na Nazareno, English: Our Father Jesus Nazarene) is a
life-sized, dark wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ carrying a cross,
believed to be miraculous by many Filipino Catholics.
Originally with fair complexion, it turned dark
after it survived a burning ship on its arrival from Mexico. The image
is currently in the
Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo
district, Manila, Philippines, where it is venerated weekly with Friday
Novena Masses. There are also three annual processions associated with
this icon, most notably on January 9, celebrating its transfer (Spanish:
Translación) and enshrinement in the present Basilica, and is attended
by several million devotees.

Ina Poon Bato
Brief history and devotion and hymn
Our Lady of Ina Poonbato (Botolan,
Zambala, Philippines) became
popular after the explosion
of Mt. Pinatubo in June 1991
when it was half buried in
lava. The image of Ina
Poonbato is said to be of
miraculous character. The
statue was found by the Aeta
chief Djadig over four
hundred years ago. He
brought the beautiful lady
carved in shining wood to
this home. His wife
threw the statue without
recognizing its meaning into
the fire. The fire
burned the house down but
left the statue unscathed.
It soon became an object of
veneration among the Aetas.
The first missionaries to
the Zambalas region (1608,
Recoletos) recognized the
statue as that of Our Lady
and transferred it to their
church. |

La Virgen Milagrosa
Badoc, Ilocos Norte houses the Sanctuary of the Miraculous Statue of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, the La Virgen Milagrosa. History traces the
life-sized statue to Nagasaki, Japan. It was sent floating in the sea by
missionaries operating in secret in Japan (for fear of persecution
during the Tokugawa Regime), along with the Miraculous Statue of the
Black Nazarene (Sinait's Santo Cristo Milagroso). It was first found by
local fishermen in the shores of Barangay Dadalaquiten, on the boundary
between Sinait and Badoc, in the year 1620. Only fishermen from Sinait
were able to move the Statue of the Black Nazarene. The fishermen from
Badoc, unable to move the Black Nazarene, were able to move the La
Virgen Milagrosa that came with it - which was, in turn, unable to be
moved by the fishermen from Sinait. They took the statues to their
respective towns, hence becoming their patron saints. Today The La
Virgen Milagrosa is enshrined at the
Badoc Church.

Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Turumba (Our Lady of
Sorrows of Turumba) is the name for a
specific statue of the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows, enshrined in
Pakil, Laguna.
The image, according to tradition, belonged to some
missionaries who crossed Laguna de Bay in a launch. When the launch was
shipwrecked, some of its relics were washed ashore including the image
of the Virgin. One Friday morning, some fishermen found the image in the
nets. Believing it was a religious image, they decided to drop it off at
a parish church. When they started to carry the painting, they found
that it was heavy. They tried to carry it in many directions, until it
was near the church of Pakil. While they headed that way, the wind and
current aided their course; and when they landed, they left the image on
a rock so they could continue their fishing duties.
A group of women found the image one Sunday
morning. Although it had rained during the night, the canvas was dry.
When they tried to take it away, they could not move it; even the
strongest among them, Mariangga, could not lift it. They quickly told
the parish priest, who in turn called the sacristans, choir members and
churchgoers to get the image. As they lifted the image, the people
around begun to sing and dance. To their surprise, the image gave way.
And So the Turumba to Our Lady was born. the

Sta. Maria Goretti died
a martyr before her twelfth birthday. Young as she was, she made a
choice, a choice based on her faith. The Church holds up to the world,
the life, death and the faith of this young Italian virgin martyr, Maria
Goretti. Mabuhay to our Parish Youth Ministry for taking Maria Goretti

Pudentiana is a
traditional Christian saint of the 2nd century. She is sometimes called
Potentiana and is often coupled with her sister, Praxedes the martyr.
According to her acta, by the Bollandists (dating from the 8th
century) and the Martyrology of Reichenau, she was a Roman virgin of the
early Christian church, daughter of Saint Pudens, friend of the
Apostles, and sister of Praxedes.
The Spanish Conquistador Miguel López de
Legazpi, the founder of the city of Manila, gained possession of the
territory in 1571 on 19 May, the feast of Pudentiana (in Spanish
"Potenciana"), and declared her patron saint of what is now the
Philippines.
As her name is not found in any of the ancient
martyrologies and owing to the unreliability of her origins, the cult of
Pudentiana was suppressed in 1969

belief system, stories of angels are a part of our heritage, of the fabric that
makes up human history.
Religious texts refer to an archangel as being at a high level in the celestial
hierarchy. While the exact number of archangels is unknown many traditions and
faiths reference seven archangels.
