The Holy Mass was presided by Rev. Fr. Christian Edward Abao, parish priest of St. John the Baptist. In the Ordo, it was the feast day of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After the Holy Mass, the famous botafumeiro of the parish was used, and its incense grains was put by the LCM Vicariate Officers.

The speakers of the formation were Bro. Rubennard de Vera, President of the Diocesan Lectors and Commentators Ministry, and Sis. Camille Madiz, PPC Secretary of St. Mark the Evangelist Parish, Brgy. Balian, Pangil, Laguna.

Bro. Rubennard delivered the formation entitled: “Saint Francis of Assisi: God’s Word in Action”. As he introduced the rich life of the holy saint, he challenged every lector to a concrete lifestyle of poverty and stewardship. Lastly, he emphasized the spirituality of the Seraphic Father to be line with the responsibilities of a lector.

Sis. Camille delivered the formation entitled: “Lusong - Pagtawag at Pagtugon”. She took part in facilitating the Bishop’s invitation to take part in the Diocesan Synodal Pastoral Planning Program. Groups were established, each member from a different parish, to foster collaboration and camaraderie among strangers and acquaintances.

This quarterly formation gives each lector the opportunity to deepen their spirituality and service to the Word of God through action, contemplation, and most of all, radical love, with the intercession of Saint Francis, the Seraphic Father.

The Holy Mass was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Jeric “Yek” Advincula, parish administrator.

IN PHOTOS – Members of the Lectors and Commentators Ministry were present at the Holy Mass celebrating the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, this 16th of July. The Holy Mass was presided by Rev. Fr. Jeric "Yek" Advincula, parish priest of Our Lady's Nativity Parish.

During his homily, he reminded the faithful to treat the Brown Scapular as a sign of the Blessed Mother's humility and obedience to the Word of God, rather than a ticket to heaven, some kind of magic that saves, or a superstitious thing.

The Holy Mass ended with the Imposition of the Brown Scapular, scapulars provided by the Carmelite Tertiary and Ministry President, Br. Daniel Rey V. Lacerna.

O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendour of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me this my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Amen.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us!

IN PHOTOS — Starting with the 2nd session of the Bible Study, headed by Rev. Fr. Jessie G. Somosierra Jr., various parish ministries attended with an open mind.

A call to being open-minded, Fr. Jessie iterated that there are a couple of approaches on how to understand the Sacred Scriptures. These approaches differ from the ones that bible scholars use.

Nevertheless, new knowledge was imparted to the youth and youth-at-heart by means of diving into biblical hermeneutics.

A deeper understanding takes place, when the text is more than to be read and has been observed its message in between words.
