JUNE 2010 ISSUE

Victims and heroines

All around the developing world, women and girls are the pillars of their families and communities. As part of their daily tasks, they cook, clean, farm, collect wood and fetch water for their households; and provide them with health and hygienic care. Because of these roles, they are particularly vulnerable. In situations of conflict, they become more and more the main targets – through sexual assault and common violence. The importance of their role is their weakness. For the contenders, to humiliate and control them is a way to demoralize the “enemy.” Sometimes, they are also made pawns in a sadistic game of ethnic cleansing. Ironically, when we look closely at war zones and violent prone areas, we’ll see that most of the peacemakers, even in the remotest and harshest places, are also women. The Catholic nuns, who risk their own lives to help the victims and alleviate their burden, are among them. The courage and resilience they show is a lesson in humanity.

THE MISSIONARY ROSARY

The purpose of this Missionary Rosary Booklet is to enrich our daily prayer - the rosary - with a missionary dimension, so that we intercede for the Church and the whole world. As we pray each mystery or decade for a specific continent, we are embracing in faith and Christian solidarity all its peoples. And together with the Virgin Mary, we ask God that the Good News of Jesus Christ may be proclaimed and become alive everywhere. We also pray to the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers, especially to those places where they are most needed. The Missionary Rosary will help us grow in our common missionary vocation. Together with Mary, Queen of the Missions, we pray: YOUR KINGDOM COME, LORD JESUS!

The rosary is a contemplative and christocentric prayer, inseparable from the meditation of sacred Scripture. It is the prayer of the Christian who advances in the pilgrimage of faith, in the following of Jesus, preceded by Mary. (Pope Benedict XVI)

ROSARYONG MISYONERO

Ang layunin ng dasalang ito ay pagyamanin ang ating pang-araw-araw na panalangin ng Santo Rosaryo - na may adhikaing misyonero - upang tayo ay mamagitan para sa Simbahan at sa buong mundo. Habang dinadasal natin ang bawat misteryo o dekada para sa isang kontinente, niyayakap natin ang pananampalataya at Kristiyanong pagkakaisa ng bawat tao at bansa niya. At kasama ng Birheng Maria, hinihiling natin sa Panginoon na ang Mabuting Balita ni Hesukristo ay maipahayag at maging buhay sa lahat ng dako. Dumadalangin din tayo sa Panginoon ng Ani na magpadala ng higit pang manggagawa lalo na sa mga pook na higit ang pangngangailangan para dito. Ang Rosaryong Misyonero ay makakatulong sa paglago ng ating pambalanang bokasyong misyonero. Kasama ni Maria, Reyna ng mga Misyon, manalangin tayo: MAPASAAMIN ANG KAHARIAN MO, PANGINOONG HESUS!

"Ang walang hanggang kapangyarihan ng dasal ay ang ating lakas." (St. Daniel Comboni)

"We need evangelizers with the enthusiasm and apostolic outreach of Bishop Daniel Comboni, an apostle of Christ among the Africans. He relied on the resources of his rich personality and solid spirituality to make Christ known and welcomed in Africa, a continent he loved deeply."

(Pope John Paul II, St. Peter's Square, Rome, October 5, 2003, on the occasion of the canonization of St. Daniel Comboni)

ANG PAMILYA NI COMBONI ….

Nagsisilbi sila sa maga kawawa at nangangailangan ng pangangalagang pisikal at spirituwal sa limampung bansang bumubuo sa apat na kontinente. Nagbubuklodbuklod sila para harapin

QUOTES OF THE MONTH

""Man is made to love; his life is fully realized only if he lives in love."

  Pope Benedict XVI in a message
 sent to Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko,
president of the Pontifical Council
 for the Laity, and to the participants
 of the 10th International Youth
 Forum, held in Rocca di Papa.

"We, Christians, even lately, have often avoided the word 'penance.' Now, under the eyes of the world that speaks of our sins, we see that doing penance is grace and we see how penance is necessary."

 
Pope Benedict XVI in an
 apparent reference to the sex-abuse
 crisis, in a homily during a Mass
 at the Pauline Chapel of the
 papal palace, attended by members
 of the Vatican's Bible Commission.

"The Pope and I are united on the relationship between reason and science, the necessity of dialogue between religions and the need for worldwide ethics, even if my hopes of a reformist course have not been fulfilled."

Hans Küng, a Roman Catholic priest,
 Swiss-born theologian and Vatican critic,
 in an interview conducted by
The European, a Berlin-based
 online news service.
