"Believe what you read, teach what you believe, practice what you teach."
Service at the altar is more than an obligation; it is a profound calling. Recently, the Lectors and Commentators Ministry (LCM) of St. Isidore the Worker Parish, under the guidance of Fr. Reagan Guray, gathered at Casa Mamre, Merida, Leyte for a transformative two-day recollection last February 20 - 21, 2026.
Guided by their recollection master, Fr. Julius Balla, they delved into the theological and biblical foundations of their ministry. From navigating the challenges of their roles to embracing true humility, they were reminded that they are not just readers, but vessels of the Word.
The highlight? A symbolic "burning of the papers"—releasing their struggles, exhaustion, and pride into the fire, offering them up to the Lord during their closing Holy Mass. They left not just renewed in their commitment, but refreshed in spirit.
May they continue to proclaim God’s Word with clarity, humility, and love. 🙏✨
