Touched the Relics of St. Therese Today

-


"The relics travelled from the Basilica of St. Therese in Lisieux, France.

St. Therese's relic, which consisted of her bone fragment, started her visit in the Philippines since 2000 and 2008.

She also visited the country in December 15, 2012. This year is her third visit and is expected to tour around 48 key places in the country.

St. Therese or Therese Martin was born in Alencon, France on January 2, 1873. She, along with her family, moved to Lisieux, where she was taught by the Benedictine Nuns of Lisieux. At the age of 15, Therese became a nun and dedicated her life in spiritual activities. Her life was written in her first autobiographical manuscript. She died on September 30, 1897 due to tuberculosis. She was then 24.

Therese was canonized by Pope Pius XI on May 17, 1925 and was proclaimed by the same Pope as the Universal Patron of the Mission on December 14, 1927.

On October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed Therese as "Therese of the Child Jesus" and a Doctor of the Universal Church." (Sunnex)

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
