tZ I A WEEKLY PUBLICATION OF THE PARISH OF ST. NICHOLAS OF TOtENTINE (dARATUAN, ILOILO) IVOL. VM NO. 10 FEB. 01-0T, 2015 1 PRO-LIFE SUNDAY Naa-abot sila sa ban-,va sang Capernaum, kag sang Adlaw nga Inugpa­huway nagsulod si Jesus sa sinagoga kag nag­panudlo. Ang mga tawo nga nakabati sa iya natingala sang iya pag­panudlo kay nagpanudlo sia nga may awtoridad kag indi sia pareho sang mga manunudlo sang Kasugoan. Sa amo gid nga tion nagsulod sa sinagoga ang isa ka tawo nga may malaut nga espiritu kag nagasinggit, "Ano ang luyag mo himuon sa amon, Jesus nga taga? Nazaret? Nagkari ka bala sa paglaglag sa amon? Nal-iibal-an ko kon sin-o ka. Ikaw ang Balaan nga ginpadala sang Dios." Ginmanduan ni Jesus ang espiritu: "Maghipos ka kag mag­gwa sa tawo." Ginpa? kurog sang malaut nga espiritu ang tawo, nagsinggit sing tudo kag nagg-,v,a sa tawo. Ang mga tawo natingala gid, sa bagay nga nagpina­mangkutanay sila, "Ano ini? Bag-o bala ini nga pagtulon-an? Ini nga tawo may gahom bisan pa sa pagsugo sang malaut nga espiritu, kag nagaturnan sila sa iya." Gani ang balita nahanungod kay Jesus naglapnag sing madali sa bug-os nga probinsiya sang Galilea. (Marcos 1:21-28) DO JUSTICE AND LOVE KINDNESS DANICITO& Word of Life Bishop calls on laity to boost pro-life cause As the nation observes Pro-life month in February, a Catholic bishop calls on the Filipino laity to actively participate in the pro-life cause and intensify their defense of Catholic values. Antipolo Bishop Gabriel Reyes said there is a need for "more lay people to stand for life, and to be champions of the poor, the weak, and the innocent." Reyes, who is also the chairman of Episcopal Commission on Family and Life, has endorsed the various activities Pro-Life Philippines is organizing for the entire month of February. He urged the laity to actively promote the Gospel of life and love in every sphere of society. "We are waging a spiritual war, and our laity should stand at the forefront of our temporal realities that help build the spiritual kingdom of God - frontlines like politics, mass and social media, commerce, and public service should be filled with holy and knowledgeable Catholics in order for the Gospel to be spread to everyone and every place and institution," he said. "The defense of our deeply held values of life, family, and marriage is a worthwhile reason for us Catholics to step up and make our presence felt," the bishop continued. Already in its 2701 year, activities during the Pro-Life month include talks, seminars and other programs "that are geared towards educating and training especially the lay to actively participate in the pro-life cause." This year's observance has the theme, "Year of the Laity, Year of Life: Hand in Hand towards a Pro-Life Nation". Reyes urged the laity to exert every effort "to keep the culture of death away from our nation." Quoting Pope Francis, he said, "A population that does not take care of the elderly and of children and the young has no future, because it abuses both its memory and its promise." On February 2, a Eucharistic celebration will be held at the San Agustin Church in Intramuros at 10 am to mark Pro-Life Sunday. The observance of February as pro-life month stemmed from a Proclamation No. 214, of then President Corazon Aquino, declaring the second week of February 1988 and every year thereafter as "Respect and Care for Life Week".
