Angelus

Binati ng Anghel ng Diyos si Santa Maria.
At sya ay naglihi lalang ng Espirito Santo
Aba Ginoong Maria, napupuno ka ng grasiya napupuno ka ng grasya, ang Panginoong Diyos ay sumasaiyo, bukod kang pinagpala sa babaeng lahat at pinagpala naman ang iyong Anak na si Hesus
Santa Maria, Ina ng Diyos, ipanalangin mo kaming makasalanan ngayon at kung kami’y mamamatay. Amen.
Narito ang alipin ng Panginoon
Maganap nawa sa amin ang ayon sa Wika Mo
Aba Ginoong Maria…
At ang Verbo ay nagkatawang tao,
At nakipamayan sa atin.
Aba Ginoong Maria…
Ipanalangin mo kami, O Santang Ina ng Diyos,
Nang kami’y maging dapat makinabang sa mga pangako ni Hesukristong Panginoon.
Manalanging tayo:
Panginoong naming Diyos, kasihan Mo nawa ang aming mga kaluluwa ng Iyong Mahal na grasya at yayamang dahilan sa pamamalita ng Anghel ay nakilala namin ang Pagkakatawang Tao ni Hesukristong Anak Mo, pakundangan sa Mahal Niyang pagpapakasakit at pagkamatay sa krus ay papakinabangin Mo kami ng kanyang pagkabuhay na mag-uli sa kaluwalhatian sa Langit. Alang-alang kay Hesukristong Panginoon namin. Amen.
Luwalhati sa Ama, Sa Anak, At sa Diyos Espiritu Santo. (3x)
Kapara noong unang-una, Ngayon at magpakailanman. Amen. (3x)
Sa ngalan ng Ama, at ng Anak, at ng Espiritu Santo. Amen

Our Lady of China

The name given to an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Donglu, China, first appearing in 1900.
During the Boxer Rebellion, a great number of soldiers attacked the village of Donglu, Hebei. The village consisted of a small community of Christians founded by the Vincentian Fathers. The Virgin Mary appeared in white, and a fiery horseman (believed to be St Michael) chased away the soldiers. The pastor, Fr Wu, commissioned a painting of Mary with Christ child dressed in golden imperial robes. This painting became the image of Our Lady, Queen of China. Donglu became a place of pilgrimage in 1924. The image was blessed and promulgated by Pope Pius XI in 1928.

"Where Are Your Treasures?"

Matthew 6:19-24

Treasures is defined as wealth or riches stored or accumulated; abundance; reserve.

Jesus brings up two big temptations we all face as believers that distract us and pull us away from the importance and the satisfaction that we can have in our relationship with God the Father. The first temptation is the religious man doing his works before man to receive the praise of man instead of doing them in secret, where only God the Father knows. Jesus says that if we seek the praise of men, we have our reward, but if we seek to glorify God, the Father will reward us openly. The temptation is to seek to be noticed, to be put on a high pedestal as one who is religious, and to gain the praise of men. The second temptation we face as believers is the temptation of being like the world in seeking treasures on this earth. So often, we look at the things of this earth and say to ourselves, “If only I had that, then I would be all set.” We seek to find security and satisfaction in temporary things instead of what we already have in our relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. These temptations want our attention, and both distract us from what truly matters, our relationship with God the Father.

I come by this morning to ask you, is your heart seeking after self or after a real relationship with God? In a lot of ways, we can put on many masks and faces so people perceive us as spiritual or godly, when in reality, deep in our heart of hearts or in our private life, we struggle with fears, temptations, and desiring the things of the world for man’s praise instead of glorifying God. Take a few minutes for a self examination. Where are your treasures? My treasures are in God and my will is His will and my heart longs to hear Him say, "Well done my good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. "Be bless and I love you!!!
