What About BEC

 

The Holy Cross Parish of Carigara is all geared up to implement the priority thrust of Archdiocese of Palo: Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC}. A new way of being church today.

Towards this end, Msgr. Wilftedo V. Alejan, Parish Priest, with the assistance of the parish Vicar Rev. F Dennis Inocando; and the support of the Parish Pastoral Council, embarked on varied relevant activities which corresponded to the theme of the last Fiesta celebration which was Renewed Integral Evangelization through Formation of Basic Ecclesial Communities.

A Core team was organized by a reliable group of BEC servant leaders to initiate activities which made way to the formation of of BEC in the pioneering Tangnan, Carigara, as the BEC pilot barangay of the Holy Cross Parish.

Seeking to accomplish the desired goal of the parish to embrace most if not all barangays under the parish jurisdiction, a trusted pastoral service group was tapped to involve in continuous Evangelization work in all barangays.

The group, subdivided into two teams, penetrated the barangays in coordination with their pastoral workers. Each team composed of a worship leader, a song leader, an animator, and at least two discussants, was entrusted to treat on a topic mainly on BEC. A new way of being church today. Every session is concluded with an Eucharistic Celebration, with full participation by those in attendance.

As a timely preparation for the 2007 Carigara fiesta celebration priest celebrants upon the invitation of the Parish, officiated the daily Novena schedule, integrating congruent insights particular to the days theme, thus:

Come sit with me
On this moonlit night,
And recall the songs
We used to hum together..

The songs maybe ancient
But the memories they bring.
Rekindle the love that
Brought us together.

Reminiscences, reminiscences
Always bring a fresh love
And put us in the mood
To sing together.

It's a long long while
From May to December
But the days grow short
When we reach September
And the autumn weather
Change the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For a wishing game
Though the days dwindle down
To a precious few
November, December
And these few precious days
I spend with you
These few precious days
I spend with you


(Author's note: If you are in your 50's or older, try humming this song, it will add more years to your life.)

We don't have to know what the future holds. What is important is that we know Who holds the future. The question, my dear read is do You know who holds the future? There are two answers and it's an AND, not OR. It's God AND you, because our life is the result of a collaboration between the Creator AND the Creature. God is the Creator and you, I, and all of us are the creatures.

We all know that we have an all-loving Creator who is also All-Wise and All-Powerful. When He decided to create each one of us, in His Wisdom, our Creator had a definite, unique purpose for each one of us. In other words., nobody else can duplicate you, me and everybody else. Unique-you can also spell it YOU-nique. Each one has a different role in life and nobody else can play it for you-no substitutes. Somebody else can take your place but the role will be played his way nut yours. Anybody can be a teacher.. . but only Teacher Maria Paz can be the kind of teacher that she is. Anybody can be a Guidance Counselor, but only Teacher Gina can be the kind of counselor that she is.

Because our Creator is also all-loving and all-powerful, He has a grand design for the life of each one of us, a design that will lead us all to our final destination, life with Him in Heaven. However, in His goodness, He bas also given us Free Will, He has made us His partners.

Our lives can be compared to a house that we build here on earth where we shall live in the hereafter. Thus, our Creator is the Divine Architect. He sends engineers and foremen (our spiritual advisers) to guide us and we are the workers. We may choose to follow what our foreman tens us to do, or we may decide to go our own way and build our house the way we want to, contrary to our Creator's plans and directions.

The beauty of it is that our Architect is always there, ready to be consulted. He consistently speaks to us through His engineers and foremen (our elders), reminding US about his directions. He also speaks to us through the events that happen in our lives and that of others. All we have to do is LISTEN and OBEY.

Oftentimes, though, because we are so wrapped up in our own selfishness and greed, we fail to hear His voice. What becomes more important is what will make us happy. Never mind the other people, even our loved ones and the ones who truly care for us, even if they get hurt. It's their problem, not ours.

Your house is not yet done. It still has to be furnished before you can truly live in it. I bid you to continue building it, furnishing it. Remodel it if you have to. Continue listening to and obeying our Divine Planner and you will be able to present your Mansion, not your barong-barong, to our Heavenly Father.

Mag Aano Ako

Usa nala katuig maretire na ako ha pagtutdo
Nawwoworuk ako kon magaano ako
Gutiay nga kantidad akon makakarawat
Sinko anyos nga pag-antos an akon paghulat.

Lump sum nga salapi nakalit la kaubos

Maiha pamu1at han pension, ha kwarta kapos.

May ada na retire ka caregiver an guindadangatan
Pagserbe han mga apo kay sulundanon man
Kaiooy han iya mga anak hira napaumaya.

Gutiay uga kwarta ira guin nenegosyo
Napalit hin sarakyan pagbugas nga kargahan
An iba nga nasasalin ha 5-6 an dalagan
Kay nag-iiyawat kwarta nga gutiay manggad pa umuhan.

Napalit hin pukot og sakayan basi managat
Nabalikhan kadaan nga iya panginabuhi
An iba naman napalit hin uma nga iya mabubuhat
Basi la an panahon mawaray karag, kinabuhi malibre.

Tukso han kasangkayan ha pagbulang hiya nagara
Kay kuno goliat waray masaway ha ira
Nagahin hin kwarta nga iya ipupusta

Mga anak nag-aaghat pagbisita ug pagdu-aw
Basi makaenjoy bulahan nga buhi pa hira

Naangay ha pulitika kay may abilidad

An iba naabaho, an iba nadaug naman.

Malaay pag-inukoy ha batay masumo
Nakumbida bin sangkay pas-mom nga bisyo
Kay may pension naman kada bulan areglado.

Tungod kay senior citizen na mahubya na palinakat
Ha balay natipukpok tikang ha aga ngadto ha kulop

Kon an pangidaron daw halag nasugad bin adlaw
Pagserbe han katawhan ha Diyos an katapusan
Mangaad pa ha lain nga kinabuhi ikaw may mahingadtuan

Sagdon ko sangkay kon ikaw usa nga retiree
Ha akon iguin saysay hain kagud hine
Bisan ano an imo buhaton ha guilayon
Ayaw kangalimot, Diyos manta an unahon.

I Believe

I believe in the supreme worth of the
Individual and in his right to Life
Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe that every right implies a
possibility, every opportunity an
obligation, every possession a duty.

I believe that the law was made for
man and not man for the law. That
Government is the servant of the people
and not their master.

I believe in the dignity of labor
whether with head or hand. that the
world owes no man a living but that
it owes every man an opportunity to
make a living.

I believe that thrift is essential to
well-ordered living and that economy is
a prime requisite of a sound :financial
structure wfletf1er in Government, Business
or personal affairs..

I believe in the sacredness of a promise
that man's word should be good as his
bond, that character not wealth. nor power.
nor position. is o£supreme worth.

I believe that the rendering of useful
service is the common duty of mankind
and that Only in the purifying fire of
sacrifice is the gross or selfishness
consumed and the greatness of the
human soul set free.

I believe in an all wise and all loving God
named by whatever name and that the individual
highest fulfillment. greatest happiness
and wisest usefulness are to be found
in living in harmony with his will.

I believe that Love is the greatest thing
in the world, that it alone can overcome hate
that right can and will triumph over might.

Philippines

In a verdant group of islands in the vast Pacific,
is a clustered 7,107 inhabited islands to be specific,
The Spaniards named it after their King Philip,
And with the pine trees they saw dominating the mountain peaks, hey called it the "Philippines" as that sounded majestic.

But the Filipino natives weren't ever too pleased,
When the discoverer Magellan's military gallantry divulges. The Warning bells sounded horridly to that effect,
And Lapulapu slew him in Mactan as the ultimate,
After accepting the Cross, and drove the rest to where they originated.

But the Spaniards were so determined
To conquer the Philippines for the King of Spain,
They dispatched another expedition
On the command of Roy Lopes de Villalobus,
To colonize the Philippines at any cost.

The natives were again so incensed,
With this deliberate foreign scheme,
So that insurgency campaign to rebellion,
Were conducted in every region
to repel this foreign aggression.

But the Spaniards were mighty strong,
Equipped with swords, guns and cannons,
Against the natives, machetes, bolos, spears, and harpoons,
So they were subjugated finally to the end,
And laid down their arms and accepted their fate in shame.

So far three hundred and thirty five years and maybe more,
Filipino& suffered under Spanish rule and domination
And the American government was so appalled,
That they started to file a motion of cessation,
And in the treaty of Paris, the Philippines were ceded to the US

The Philippines became a Commonwealth of the United States. The new democratic government established in the Far East. Ana enforced the teaching of the English language.
In primary grade school, colleges, and universities,
Where tthe Spanish language was dominantly in state.

But long long afterwards so it seems,
No peace no earth is everlasting,
Where the Japanese Imperial Army command,
Bomb Pearl Harbor the US dockland,
That awakened the sleeping giant.

The Japanese Imperial Army started immediately
To occupy the US Far East territories,
And the Whole Island of Leyte,
Was overwhelmed by the Japanese in its entirety.,
And the whole of the Philippines eventually.

But very soon they met with very strong resistance,
In Bataan,. Corregidor, Appari, and Cagayan,
Filipino and American soldiers suffered heavy casualties, In the Philippine battlefields in totality,
To repel the Rising Sun forces from US territories.

The fall of tbe Pbilippines to the Japanese invading force Was marked by 6en. Douglas McArthur's great escape, Via Australia to America with a solemn promise
To return with a vengeance to eradicate the enemy
And to liberate the Philippines from the tyrant Japanese army

To the Filipino people consternation,
As the Japanese domination went on,
They waited for the great man's return
Which was fulfilled on the 26th Oct. 1944, a day to behold The dawn of the era of the Philippine liberation.

Gen. Douglas McArthur and his Liberation Forces,
Waded ashore on the Island of Leyte
Surprising the Japanese Army in every way,
Attacking them the air, land, and sea.
Wltb the US might, the Japanese Forces suffered very heavily.

Eventually, the Japanese signed the terms of surrender
and the Philippines was finally free from the invaders.
The theater of war in the pacipic is finally over,
Especially whe Hiroshima and Nagasaki totally disappeared
When the US dropped atomic bombs that ended the Pacific war years.
