Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day)
Pray for All the Faithful Departed!
A
llow me to start with a story written
by Lorraine Murray. Its a very
interesting story reminding us of the
importance of prayers and Masses offered
to our beloved departed:
A thick fog has settled on the shore.
The sun looks bleached and bone-white,
almost like the moon.
Usually I head for the beach in the
warmer months, but some impulse has
called me here on this crisp November
morning. Strangely, the beach is filled with
other people, walking slowly and huddled
together against the chill.
Suddenly I realize someone is walking
with me, a young man with luminous
blonde hair and oh, no, am I losing my
mind? I swear he has wings!
He sees my perplexed expression and
nods in a friendly way.
Yes, an angel, youre correct. He falls
into step with me.
But I thought angels couldnt be seen.
Im growing more nervous by the second.
Oh, usually thats the case, he says,
but every so often, we make an exception.
The fog is growing thicker, and the
people on the shore look cold and somewhat
forlorn. As if reading my thoughts, the
angel draws closer to me, and I feel warmth
radiating from him.
Most people dont realize how cozy
feathers are, he chuckles.
Now I know something is wrong,
because here I am on the beach in November
and Im talking to an angel.
Who are all these people? I just have
to know, even if the answer might be scary.
They are the souls in Purgatory,
he replies. The ones we call the faithful
departed.
I notice many people are dressed in
the fashions of centuries ago, so they have
clearly been walking the beach a long time.
The angel seems to read my mind. You
see, some poor souls dont have people
on Earth to pray for them, he explains.
Perhaps their relatives abandoned the
Church, and no longer believe in Purgatory
or maybe these souls have no living family
members left on Earth.
Just then, I notice a few people wading
into the ocean and then swimming toward
an island, which looks sun-streaked and
dense with trees.
Even though its far away, I can see
everything distinctly: people climbing out
onto the sloping shore and being met by
angels, who wrap them in blankets and
hand them steaming cups of tea.
Thats heaven, of course, and its just
a short swim away, the angel says. The
faithful departed who are swimming there
have families on Earth having Masses
celebrated in their memory and praying for
them.
I feel an uneasy feeling in the pit of my
stomach. I have no children, and most of my
relatives are not Catholic, so I have to ask:
Do only souls who have people praying for
them get to heaven?
The angel smiles in the kindest way.
Even if no one prays for you, heaven awaits
all who die in a state of grace. It just takes
longer to get there.
Suddenly I hear an owl hooting quite
insistently, and in that instant, the angel
starts dissolving.
No, dont leave me! I cry out, but hes
gone.
I wake up and realize the owl is hooting
in a tree outside my window. I glance at the
clock: It is 3 a.m. on November 2, All Souls
Day.
It was just a dream, I assure myself,
but as I scrunch the pillow to make it more
comfortable, a feather drifts out of the case
and flutters to the floor.
A few hours later, I go Mass and offer
up my Holy Communion for the souls of the
faithful departed on my list: my parents,
grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends.
But the angels message struck deep,
so I dont stop there. I also remember the
poor souls who have no one to pray for
them. And as I offer my prayers for these
forgotten ones, I imagine them one day
leaving the foggy shore and swimming to
that distant golden island.
This story reminds us to pray for all
the faithful departed. November 2 is a day
to commemorate them. As Catholics we
believe that life does not end in death, but
death is a door to eternal life with God.
But not everyone who dies is immediately
ready for the beatific vision. As taught to us
in our catechism class, the beatific vision is
a direct experience of God and His perfect
stature. It is said that we enjoy adoring God
face to face in Heaven. So, in order for them
to enjoy this holy occasion with God, we
must always pray for the souls in purgatory
for their purification. Prayers and Masses
of the faithful benefit them in the process
of their purification. Personally, I believe
that the souls of our beloved departed
are watching us. They are guiding us in
our daily life. They are always present
especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
They are in communion with us because
they are also members of our Catholic
community. That is why it is but proper
that we pray fervently for them.

CANDLE LIGHT (November 2 - 8, 2014)
I
did not have a good sleep last Monday in
my room at Pius XII Institute Building.
I already slept late. If I am not mistaken,
it was already 2 oclock in the morning
when I started to rest because we burned
our midnight oil for we are finishing the
yearbook 2014. At around 3:00 oclock in
the morning, I woke up because I felt that
there was something strange in my room.
I felt cold. I had goosebumps. I never had
this experience ever since I transferred to
my temporary room on September 1. I was
lying in my bed and all of a sudden I felt
that there was somebody at my feet. I saw
somebody creeping towards me. I couldnt
exactly identify him but he had a familiar
face. While he was moving towards me, I
couldnt breathe. Then I thought of praying
the Hail Mary. After some repetitions, I woke
up. I realized that it was just a dream. I thank
God because I thought it was real. Little did I
knowthat it was a nightmare.
When I shared this experience to some
friends, they told me that it was what we call

ANG SAKRAMENTO SANG BUNYAG

S
a sini nga isyu, akon hatagan sing
igtalupangod ang pila ka mga masami
ginapamangkot nahanungod sa
Sakramento sang Bunyag. Nagapati ako
nga ang sabat sa sini nga mga pamangkot,
makabulig padalum pa gid sang ihibalo
nahanungod sa sini nga Sakramento.
1. Kinahanglan gid bala ang Bunyag
para sa kaluwasan sang tawo?
Ang Simbahan nagatudlo nga si Kristo
amo ang Manugpatigayon kag ang Dalan
sang kaluwasan. Suno sa dokumento
sang Ikaduha nga Konsilyo sang Batikano,
Lumen Gentium, n. 14, (LG) maathag ini nga
ginapakita dira sa ginsiling ni Kristo sa kay
Nicodemo nga kinahanglan ang pagtuo kag
ang bunyag: Wala sing may makasulod sa
Ginharian sang Dios kon indi sia matawo
liwat sa tubig kag sa Espiritu Santo (Jn.
3:5). Mabasahan man sa Ebanghelyo ni San
Markos: Ang bisan sin-o nga nagatuo kag
nabunyagan maluwas; ang wala nagatuo,
pagakondenahon (Mk. 16:16).
2. Pero indi bala nga luyag sang Dios
nga maluwas ang tanan nga mga tawo kag
makadangat sa pagkilala sa kamatuoran?
Paano iya ang mga indi kristiano kag
wala mabunyagi? Wala na bala sila sing
paglaumnga maluwas?
Ang Simbahan nagatudlo man nga,
tungod sang indi nila kaugalingon nga sala,
wala sila nakabati sang Maayong Balita
sang Ebanghelyo ni Kristo ukon sang Iya
Simbahan, ang mga tawo nga tampad nga
D
uring my childhood days, I always
longed for church celebrations which
did not only gather thousands for the
Mass and the procession, but because of the
beauty of the occasion.
November comes in, heralded by All
Saints Day and All Souls Day following
behind. Today, November 2, we are
commemorating All Souls Day. Many are
going to the cemetery to pray for their
beloved departed. It is
time to pray to Christ,
the King, for mercy and

nagapangitasaDios kagnatandogsanggrasya,
kag nagatinguha, paagi sa ila pagkabuhi,
sa pagtuman sang Iya kabubut-on suno sa
ila paghangop sini paagi sa ila konsyensya,
sarang man makatigayon sang ila kaluwasan.
(LG, 16)
3. Paano ini nga sahi sang kaluwasan
matigayon?
May mga tawo nga, paagi sa ila
pagginawi, nagapakita sang ila sinsero nga
handom nga mabunyagan. Amo ini ang
ginatawag nga Bunyag sang Handom ukon
baptism of desire sa pulong nga Ingles.
Subong man, may ara nga mga tawo nga,
bisan wala sila mabunyagi sa tubig, napatay
bangud sa pagtuo, ukon tungod sa himpit nga
paghigugma. Ini ginatawag nga Bunyag sang
Dugo ukon baptismof blood sa pulong nga
Ingles. Ini nga mga tawo makatigayon man
sang ila kaluwasan.
4. Diin iya masulod ang mga kabataan
nga napatay nga wala mabunyagi?
Ang mahigugmaon nga Probidensya
sang Dios para sa kaluwasan sang tanan,
sarang man matigayon sang mga kabataan
nga napatay nga wala mabunyagi. Ginatugyan
ini sila sang Simbahan sa walay katapusan
nga kaluoy sang Dios kag sa iya handum
para sa kaluwasan sang tanan. Ginatudlo
sang Simbahan nga ang paghanda sa pagtuo
sa bahin sang mga ginikanan isa sang mga
kabangdanan agud magpati kita nga ang luyag
sang Dios nga maluwas ang tanan sarang gid
ma-aplikar sa sining mga kabataan. Amo ini
ang kabangdanan kon ngaa nga sa lubong
sang mga kabataan nga napatay kag wala
mabunyagi, ang Simbahan nagapangamuyo:
O Amay sang tanan nga paglugpay: wala
sing butang nga natago sa Imo ihibalo.
Nahibaloan mo ang pagtuo sining mga
ginikanan nga nagapangasubo karon bangod
sang pagkamatay sang ila anak. Kabay pa nga
malugpayan man sila sa paghibalo nga Imo na
ginbaton ini nga bata sa imo mahigugmaon
nga pagtatap.

Christ Have Mercy
pardon of the sins of the souls in purgatory.
At the foot of the Cross, when He drew His
last breath He cried in a loud voice and said:
Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do! What love can equal this cry
for forgiveness? This will also be our prayer
to Jesus for the poor souls in purgatory.
God instituted the Sacrament of
Penance, so that we can realize and repent.
No matter how much and how many times
we offend God, He always gives us the
chance to reconcile and live a better life.
Had the poor souls in purgatory missed
this opportunity, this time is for us to pray
for forgiveness in their behalf. We must
show our love for them by way of
remembering and praying for them
this All Souls Day.
All Souls Day commemorates
the faithful departed, and is
associated with our doctrine
as Catholics that the souls

in Hiligaynon bangungot. Good enough that
I was able to wake up. If not, I could have died.
However, whatever it was, I believe that
my experience that early morning reminded
me to pray for the souls in Purgatory. I felt
that I was not alone during that time. There
were immaterial beings surrounding me
(nowI know, I amnot alone in my room!).
As we commemorate today All Souls
Day, let us renew our devotion to the souls in
Purgatory. Let us include themin our prayers
every day and not only during All Souls Day.
Our prayer is a sign of our love, care, and
concern for them.
Our belief in the communion of saints
tells us that as baptized Christians, wherever
we are - whether we are in Heaven, in
Purgatory, or on earth - we help one another
thru our prayers. The souls for whom we are
praying will also pray for us here on earth
once they are in Heaven.
Let us not be scared of souls. Souls are
not to be frightened about; they are to be
loved thru our prayers and sacrifices!
of the faithful who at death have not been
cleansed from the temporal punishment
due to venial sins and from attachment
to mortal sins cannot immediately attain
the beatific vision in heaven, and that they
may be helped to do so by prayer and by
the sacrifice of the Holy Mass. It is not only
by bringing beautiful flowers and lighting
candles for them in the cemetery that we
do but the most is to offer them the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass where we can be in
communion with them.
Aside from our daily prayers to God
the Father, ask Him: Father, let your aura
shine on the poor souls in purgatory. Father,
I kneel down before you, to touch them.
Have mercy on them.
In my old age, prayer is my strong
support. I feel that it is my only maintenance.
Vitamin P (prayer) gives me courage and
strength. I do not forget to pray for the souls
of the departed. I believe that praying is a big
help for them in their state of purification.

Nagakabalaka kita sa mga wala
pa natabo, pero sa mga bagay
nga dapat naton patabuon may
kakulang kita sa pagtamud sini.
Ang aton Ebanghelyo
nagasiling sa aton kon ngaa
nagapalibog gid kita ukon ngaa
nagakatublag kita. Ang pagpa-
athag sang Dios sa aton amo nga
sa iya lamang aton makita ang
dalan, ang kamatuoran kag ang
kabuhi. Nga kon aton marealisar
nga kita nagatamud sa iya, kag
nagahatag sa iya sang naga-
kaigo nga oras ukon panahon
wala gid kita dapat kahadlukan
ukon problemahan. Wala kita
nagapanumdum sa mga butang
nga wala pa matabo kay tungod
nagasalig kita sa Dios kag sa iya
ginatudlo sa aton. Kita man abi

pag-angkon sang mga bagay nga
wala sa aton. Gusto naton may

nga ara sa iban. Segurista gid

Ginharian sang Dios sa aton
kabuhi subong, indi gid kita

They can no longer die for they are like angels; and they are the children of
God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise, even
Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called Lord the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God
of the dead, but of the living, for to himall are alive.

inapangabay ang mga dugay na nga nalubong sa mga nicho nga magsaylo voluntarily
sa mga bone boxes agod ang aton mga utod nga mga minatay makabulos man sa

ina malab-ot gid ang tion nga mawad-an na kita sang lulubngan sa aton mga minatay. Kon
tani indi na kami makalab-ot sa punto nga piliton namon kamo sa pagsaylo sang inyo mga
minatay. Kon tani himuon naton ini sa VOLUNTARYO nga paagi kay nagapati kita nga ini
bahin sang aton pag-ulikid kag paghigugma sa aton isigkatawo, ilabi na gid sa mga minatay
kag sa pamilya sang nagtaliwan.

T
he Jaro Parish Youth Ministry
celebrated its 23rd anniversary last
October 25, 2014. This ministry
had been a witness of the struggles and
successes of the young people in the
parish. It has touched different lives in
different ways. Others have been invited
in the barangay to join their Barangay
Youth Ministry. Some are privileged to be
scholars of the parish, while others are
part of the religious organizations of the
parish.
JPYM cannot function well without
leaders who generously share their skills
in planning and facilitating activities for
the young. When I was a member, I really
idolized the officers of the ministry. Seeing
them facilitate the recollections and
serving in the church, I told myself, Tani
sa pila ka adlaw mapareho man ako sa ila.
Their commitment and love for the young
people inspired me.
Young members come and go. We have
no hold of them especially if they need
to move to the next level of their life. But
one thing is sure, they can now walk chin
up with big faith in the Lord. They were
transformed by the love of God, guided by
Gods Holy Spirit.
On the 23rd anniversary celebration
of the JPYM, many memorable and
unforgettable moments were engraved in
the hearts and minds of the young people
in every activities held. One of these is
the Youth Cross Pilgrimage. Until now, the
memory of the journey we had in the Youth
Cross Pilgrimage is still fresh in my mind.
Truly, that was Gods time, a precious one
when all of us were embraced by God. Our
Youth Cross, Pilgrimage culminated in the
Sugat sa Krus from Brgy. Benedicto, bound
to Jaro Cathedral. We attended the Mass
and prayed the Way of the Cross inside the
church. It was also a great experience for us
to reflect on the sufferings of Jesus. Many
parishioners joined and prayed with us.
Finally, our two months sports fest
ended. The championships of our games in
Basketball and Volleyball were also fun and
burning as the blazing players defended
their teams. The Winners of the JPYMSports
Festival 2014 are the following:
Basketball:
Champion - Brgy. Tabuc Suba Proper,
1st place - Brgy. Cuartero
2nd place - Brgy. Taft North
4th place - Brgy. Calubihan.
Volleyball Boys:
Champion- Brgy. Tabuc Suba Proper
1st place- Brgy. Tabuc Suba Ilaya
2nd place- Brgy. Benedicto
4th place- Brgy. Calubihan
Volleyball Girls:
Champion - Brgy. Bakhaw
1st place - Brgy. San Vicente
2nd place - Brgy. Cuartero
4th place- Himig Katedral Choir.
In the afternoon of October 25, we
had a talk about Social Graces under Ms.
Ma. Teresa Jereza. One of the officers said,
Kanami gid sang talk, na-refresh kami
sa proper etiquette. Bisan sa paghigop
sang soup may gracefulness gid. We also
learned about common sense, politeness,
courtesy, and many more. After the talk we
had our Fun Time where we literally had
fun singing in the Videoke room and Dance
Mania in the Xbox. After that, we attended
our Youth Mass presided by Fr. Nathaniel
Gentizon, our Youth Director.
The most awaited part of the
celebration was the Jaro Parish Youth
Ministry Exemplars 2014 held in the
evening. Sixteen candidates from different
barangays, formed and guided spiritually,
gave their best to show their talents.
Robert Christian Sangalan was crowned
as JPYM Exemplar of CHARITY, Josephine
Ann Layda as JPYM Exemplar of FAITH and
Delia Joy Diesto as the JPYM Exemplar of
HOPE. During the event, many flaws and
mistakes happened, but these did us a favor
so that we could see the areas where we can
still improve and enhance next time. Its a
blessing! They made us braver in accepting
our weaknesses and gave us opportunity to
learn and still a blessing because after the
event we bonded until Sunday morning for
our Dawn Rosary.
We felt exhausted and sleepy but we
still managed to laugh and smile. We were
able to pray for our loved ones, for the Youth
Ministry, and for Fr. Nat who celebrated his
5th Sacerdotal Anniversary last October 26.
Certainly, the Jaro Parish Youth Ministry
shall continue to journey to become people
of mercy and compassion!

Let us help and commemorate the souls.
If Jobs sons were purified by their fathers

that our offerings for the dead bring them
some consolation? Let us not hesitate to
help those who have died and to offer our
prayers for them.
- St. John Chrysostom
