August 2 is the feast of Our Lady
of the Angels of the Portiuncula.
It is celebrated by the Franciscans
all over the world to commemorate
and give due regard to the Blessed
Mother Mary to whom St. Francis
has entrusted the Order. It was in the
little chapel of Portiuncula that St.
Francis received the first brothers and
officially started the Order of Friars
Minor (Orden Fratres Minores). As
the Province of San Pedro Bautista
celebrates the Feast of the Our Lady

I also felt my prayer life, spiritual life
lacked structure.
While I have always felt “close to

sister, the near death of a loved one.

Introduction.
There was a time during the
height of the popularity of the Cursillo
Movement when every Cursillista
addressed Jesus as Brother Jess. He is
not considered as a brother but can be
called by his nickname. It gives one a
weird feeling as calling Jesus in a very
casual, intimate manner borders on
disrespect and too much familiarity. It
gives one an eerie feeling. It was most
natural for us to realize and stress the
gap and distance between God and us,
that we feel unworthy to even pronounce
the name of God. In fact there are still
many, especially the old, the pious and
the devout today, who when speaking
about God won’t pronounce his name,
simply point upwards to the sky and
say it is up to someone up there.
GOSPEL.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus was
requested by his disciples to teach them
how to pray. They were expecting
that Jesus would give them some kind
of effective formula that would give
them assurance that they will be heard
by the Father. Instead, Jesus taught
them the Our Father. For the Jews,
it was bordering on the scandalous,
that they cannot call God their father
like someone very close and intimate
with them. They have always related
to Him as a transcendent deity so far
removed from our earthly reality. God
is totally unlike us. Any insinuation of
anthropomorphism on God is considered
blasphemous and sacrilegious. In
Jesus he has bridged the immense gap
between the transcendent realities and
earthly ones.
Now God is our Father. He is
so near, the head of our household,
so intimate that we are his children.
Matthew even used the Aramaic word
Abba, which is the informal address,
akin to the youth’s lingo as Erpat. Try
visualizing calling God as Erpat! How
does it grab you? It’s edgy. Jesus is
saying what is important in prayer
is not the methods and strategies but
first of all our relationship with God
whom we are calling upon. God is our
Father, we are his children. What is
crucial in prayer is our filial trust and
confidence.
When we address God as our
father, we are invited to pray with the
same familiarity that Jesus showed
when he prayed. The fact that the
one to whom we pray can be thought
of in such an intimate way, markedly
affects the confidence with which we
offer our prayer. God is not some
withdrawn figure, unmoved by our
pleas. He is not the impersonal deity
who is arbitrary and capricious. He is
not even a domineering figure up there
watching us from a distance, ready to
pounce on us whenever we fail. He is a
Father, generous and kind.
We need to pray. Its indispensability
emerges from the fact that it puts us in
touch with the incredible generosity of
God. “Successful prayer” depends not
on the methods and strategies (what
day of the week and what time of the
day we pray or the posture we assume.)
In this age of charismatic renewal of
our prayers, other forms have evolved.
There is more singing, dancing,
clapping, amid other body movements.
Most prayers are spontaneous, scripturebased
and are prayers of worship. It is
a laudable development. On the other
hand we have no right to look down
on others who are still comfortable
in the traditional forms, formulas,
novenas, rosaries, saint-inspired. What
is important is regularity, persistence
and trust. Our prayers are efficacious
not because of their forms. They are
helpful and facilitative, but because
of the goodness and generosity of the
Father, prayer is rooted in the kindness
and generosity of God.

The ABCs of Catholic Doctrine
By Lianne A.D. Tiu
Mind your own business?!
People often criticize the Church
for meddling in politics, especially
when it now tries to stop the
implementation of the RH law in our
country. They believe that the Church
should be separated from the State.
God established two kinds of
authority: the government authority (or
civil authority) and the church authority
(or ecclesiastical authority). He gave
government leaders authority over
citizens on matters related to temporal
welfare. And He gave the Pope and the
bishops authority on matters related to
eternal salvation, on matters of faith
and morals. Matters of faith include
any truth God has revealed (contained
in the Bible and sacred Tradition).
Moral matters are those that determine
whether an act is good or evil.
Sometimes, the Church intervenes in
temporal affairs when it needs to clarify
a specific issue related to faith or morals.
It intervenes precisely because matters
of faith and morals are not matters of
opinion but they are issues of revelation.
When the bishops inform the public
that the use of artificial contraceptives,
divorce and remarriage, and same sex
unions are seriously wrong, they are
simply doing their duty to preserve the
purity of God’s revelation.
When bishops preach at the pulpit
on how to organize a bank or a political
party, they are abusing their authority.
And we do not have to obey them in
these matters of opinion.
When, however, there is a
disagreement between the church
authority and government authority,
when there is a conflict between divine
and human law - we must always obey
God rather than men (Acts 5:29).

Today” by Joe Babendreier; Faith Seeking

RANDOM THOUGHTS
Voices from yesterday and today . . .
By Peachy Maramba
ST. MARTHA
(First Century - d.c. 80)
Patron of Cooks, Housewives,
The Hospitality Industry, Hotel Workers, etc.
July 29
Are you a Martha or Mary? Martha and
Mary were two sisters of Lazarus whom
Jesus raised from the dead. Their family,
apparently one of some importance, was one
of a few closest and beloved friends of Jesus
mentioned in the Bible. In fact whenever
Jesus was in Judea he frequently delighted in
being guest in their home in Bethany, a small
town two miles from Jerusalem. St. John
himself tells us that “Jesus loved Martha and
her sister Mary and Lazarus.”
From the gospels of Luke (10: 38-42)
and John (11-12) we get a clear picture of
the characters of these two sisters such that
in art and literature, there evolved a Martha
type and a Mary type who portray two very
different life styles. In religion they typify
two kinds of religious devotion - the way of
Martha and the way of Mary.
Martha Type
Of the two sisters we seem to get a more
detailed picture of Martha presumably, the
elder of the two, who seems to have had the
chief care and direction of the household!
The Martha type exemplifies the typical
devoted, generous, conscientious and
hardworking housewife. St. Luke tells us
that she was always solicitous and concerned
about giving the best possible service and
hospitality to her guests especially to a very
special guest as Jesus. She therefore serves
as an example of the virtue of hospitality.
She is always solicitous of and attentive to
everyone’s needs. However in her efforts to
do this she seeks cooperation and concerted
effort and gets vexed when she doesn’t get it.
In short she typifies the energetic, practical and
positive person. She is the prototype of the
very active and possibly activist Christian.
Mary Type
On the other hand the Mary type contrasts
sharply with the active ever practical Martha
type. She seems to be the prototype of the
reflective, meditative and contemplative
person. Appearing more reserved and devout
she is more preoccupied with spiritual matters
than ordinary house chores.
The Need to Prioritize
It was during Jesus’ last visit to Jerusalem
when the sisters entertained Jesus in their
home the last few days before the Passion that
the famous incident told by Luke (10:38-42)
took place.
While Martha was stuck with the chores,
Mary sat at the feet of the Lord raptly listening
to his every word. Martha, burdened with
work, came complaining to Jesus expressing
irritation at her sister’s idleness. She said,
“Lord, do you not care that my sister has left
me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to
help me.”
While Jesus was very well pleased with
the love and devotion with which Martha
waited on Him, yet Jesus chided her and
softly rebuked Martha for her somewhat
overanxious bustling spirit which led her to
pay more attention and put more emphasis on
worldly matters such as the bodily comfort of
her guests than to His message of salvation.
So Jesus said, “Martha, Martha you are
anxious and troubled about many things.
There is need of only one thing. Mary has
chosen the better part (which is of the greatest
importance, the attendance of the soul on
God) and it will not be taken from her.” (Luke
10:42). Jesus added, “Eternal salvation is our
only concern.”
It seems that of the two areas of life
commonly thought of as the practical and the
contemplative, Jesus chose as the “better part”
the contemplative, reflective and meditative
part. It was as if Jesus were endorsing the
value of a life of adoration and heavenly
contemplation where the heart is wholly taken
up in God and united to Him by worship and
love over a life of active works that allows no
time for thought or prayer as then often the
soul is distracted or concerned about worldly
cares only. And yet it would not be the “better
part” if the practical side of life was not
running smoothly. So we actually need to
balance and blend the two areas of life.
But Jesus is stressing the need to prioritize.
While it is good to be busy and to work hard
we must always remember that God should
always come first taking precedence over all
these actions because God is the “only one
thing necessary.” He should be our first and
foremost priority and eternal salvation our
only concern.
A Devoted Follower
Yet while Mary seems to be the more
devout of the two sisters always sitting at our
Savior’s feet feeding her soul with heavenly
doctrine, it would seem that in the story of the
raising of her dead brother Lazarus to life it
was Martha who emerges as the more devoted
follower and a woman of deep faith.
When Jesus finally arrived after Lazarus
had already been dead for four days and was
in fact already in a tomb and the house was
filled with mourners, it was Martha who came
running out to greet Him while Mary remained
at home (John 11:20). Naturally expressing
her regret and disappointment at His not being
there to prevent Lazarus’ death nonetheless she
expressed great faith that whatever He asked
of God, God will give Him. “Lord, if you had
been here, my brother would not have died.
But even now I know that whatever you ask
of God, God will give you” (John 11: 21-22).
Because of this act of faith and unbounded
trust in the Lord’s divine power, she was the
first to hear one of Jesus’ deepest revelation.
When Jesus assured her that her brother would
rise again Martha thought He meant at the
resurrection on the last day. Then Jesus made
His startling statement on the continuation of
life after death: “I am the resurrection and the
life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies,
will live and everyone who lives and believes
in me will never die.”
When Jesus asked Martha if she believed
this she replied with a magnificent act of
Faith when she unhesitatingly answered,
“Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that you
are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who
is coming into the world.” So not only did
(turn to p. 5)

July 28, 2013
(My Life Transformation... from p.3)
towards heaven, while at the same time
being grounded on earth, I know there
is nothing I can do that will ever take
God’s love away from me. This fundamental
reality of my life as a Christian
helps me understand the suffering, sin
and brokenness that earthly existence
brings with it. I share this poem by
Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian poet
awarded the Nobel Literature Prize in
1913, for it expresses eloquently and
beautifully my continuing journey as a
child of God committed to the Franciscan
way of life:
Let me not pray to be sheltered from
dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my
pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life’s
battlefield,
but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be
saved,
but hope for the patience to win my
freedom.
Grant that I may not be a coward,
(St. Martha... from p.4)
she express her belief in what He said but
also in His divine mission. By this act did
Martha prove that even a practical person like
herself could also be deeply involved in things
spiritual.
According to a Biblical scholar, “Her
words are the most profound confession of
faith in the entire Gospel of John, comparable
to the great confession of Peter in the Synoptic
Gospels: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God’” (Mt. 16:16, Mark 8: 29 and Luke
9: 20).
A Medieval Legend
After the Resurrection and our Lord’s
Ascension an untrustworthy Provencal legend
narrates that the whole family – Martha, Mary
and Lazarus were crowded into a boat with 70
other Christians and pushed out to sea. They
went to France as missionaries to evangelize
Provence. Miraculously landing in Marseilles
they preached the Gospel and Lazarus
eventually became its first bishop. Martha
who wandered around Provence was able to
convert many people with her preaching and
miracles.
feeling Your mercy in my success
alone;
But let me find the grasp of Your hand
in my failure.
The great Russian novelist Fyodor
Dostoyevsky, in his novel Crime and
Punishment, put it so powerfully: Salvation
is Sought Through Suffering.
I’d like to think that Christians –
Catholics, Protestants or those of us
– whether Professed Franciscans, Inquirers,
Observers - - who have had our
lives touched by some type of tragedy,
a health crisis like cancer, a loved one
dealing with substance abuse/addiction,
an estranged child, uncaring parents, an
unfaithful spouse, financial difficulty,
extreme loneliness, or any other setback
can draw strength from the words
of this legendary writers, from the life
of St. Francis, and most importantly,
from the passion and death of our Lord,
Jesus Christ.
The insights and inspirations
we gain from reflecting on them can
help us cope more meaningfully and
spiritually, no matter when and how
we receive our own special God-sent
“wake-up” calls.
Certainly by her words and deeds Martha
proved that even a practical person like herself
can be deeply involved in the “better part” of
spiritual realities. Through the story of her
life too we learn the “virtue of order in our
homes in our lives and in our souls.”
Death
When she died in about the year 80 her
alleged relics were discovered at Tarascon,
France and placed in a magnificent crypt in
the church there. Later angels are said to
have carried her to the oratory of St. Maximus
near Aix-en-Provence.
Martha is often portrayed in art as a
housewife in homely attire armed with either
a broom, basket, ladle or keys. She is the
patron of cooks, dietitians, homemakers,
hotel workers, lay sisters, and the hospitality
industry.

“Jesus told him, ‘Return home, your

For as long as I remember, this
daughter of mine has been giving me
some problems regarding her beliefs and
spiritual practice which I find so contrary
to the Catholic upbringing I tried
very hard to instill in her. Aside from the
many prayers and novenas I say for her, I
never lacked in reminding her to stick to
the strict traditions of the Church in order
to be saved. Needless to say, our resulting
strained relationship was causing me
much distress and endless anxiety over
her salvation.
Today, the phrase that spoke to me in
the John’s gospel was ‘Your son will live
‘. It very clearly told me not to worry so
much about my daughter because her life
was in God’s hands, and no matter how
much I think I love her, could never love
her more than the Father does. I was also
struck with the awareness that I was the
one who had the problem...that I could
not accept her the way she was. She was
her own self, so different from me and
therefore was searching for God in her
own way. I realize now that this situation
is allowing me to learn more about myself
in the light of my relationship with
my daughter.
Thank you Lord, for making me see
your love and mercy in the midst of this
turmoil in my life. Please give me the
grace to do the right thing that your Will
may be done.

Hospital Ministry Updates – PGH Outreach Program
SYA PGH Ministry Manila Zoo Field Trip
By Sabrina Soriano
Several days of thunderstorms during
the week got us worried that the field
trip would not be able to push through.
Saturday dawned with perfect looking
skies - bright and blue but with some
clouds so as not to make it too hot for
the kids.
Everyone was in high spirits as we
met at the entrance of Manila Zoo. We
were joined by children and mothers, all
excited to be able to go around and see
the animals. Most of them had not visited
the zoo yet and this was a major treat for
them already!
We were lucky to meet a volunteer
group who were advocates of saving
Mali, the only elephant, not just in Manila
Zoo, but for the entire country! We
were given the opportunity to go up close
to Mali, touch her and feed her. That really
set the tone for the group, with the
kids even more excited with their tour!
We had to go through our tour slowly,
not just because of the numerous pictures
the mothers took of the animals and
their children, but also because these kids
are discharged patients from the Pediatric
