Having a block rosary is one of the apostolates of the sealed servants. This
is one of the best opportunities to spread the teachings and messages of
Mahal Na INGKONG and to conduct healing and deliverance as well.
Some Guidelines
Spiritual Director
The priest will then become their Spiritual Director or Confessor. It follows
then, that at least once a month each officers and members of the Block
should approach their priest for confession and to recieve Holy
Communion.
The Altar
The altar should consist of the following: An image of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, Crucifix, Beloved Mama's image or picture, Mahal na Ingkong's
image, vessels or appropriate container for holy water, holy oil, and salt,
incense and frankincense, candelabrum, and Holy Bible. The Altar should
not sit together or adjacent with a television or obscene pictures etc.
Obscene pictures should be removed and burned, with the consent of the
home owner, before the enthronement of the sacred images. Advise them
that it is required to fully recieve the blessings and the benefits of the
BVMary's visit.
Traditionally, altar is located in the East in such a way that people faces the
East. The Golden Legend says that Christ was crucified facing the West, so
our fathers faces the East when they pray. Catholics were also buried,
traditionally, facing the East, while the priest facing the west as they shall
account to the people in the day of judgement. Church altar and tabernacle
was also located in the East and facing the West.
Before the sacred images are enthroned to the table, a white table cloth
used only for this activity should be placed on top of all other table cloths.
This table cloth should have some embroidery bearing the words "Ave
Maria Purissima Cin Pecado Con Su Vida" , Mahal Na Ingkong, and
Apostolic Catholic Church - Order of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit
(OMHS). These will help the homeowners identify us and one way of
spreading and promoting our faith in Mahal Na Ingkong. You should be
ready to answer inquiries and explain the meaning of all these words to
them which is the other goal of conducting a block rosary - to evangelize.
Evangelization by the way we speak, the way we act and by our
deportment i.e. proper attire.
Perpetual Candle
An electric candle light should always be on to give the sacred image light
all the times even without lighted wax candles.
Evangelization Talk
At least 20-30 minutes talk should be given to the homeowners and to all
that gathers about Who we are, what we believe, what we do, who is Mahal
na Ingkong, what is His Church, Who is the Patriarch, who are the men and
women called in His service - the OMHS, what are the messages and
teachings of Mahal na Ingkong, of St. Maria Virginia, of the Patriarch.
While in the Block, do not talk or open issues which is not related to
Kaganapan.
Dismissal
As much as possible, everybody should be home by 8pm. So it is always
good to start the block rosary by 5:30pm or at most by 6pm and finish by
7:30pm so that by 8pm everybody are already home. As far as I can recall,
M.Ingkong said that all Auxiliaries especially young ones should be home
before 8pm for security reason. Each female sealed servant should be
accompanied when going home especially during the night after the
ganapan.
The Shibboleth
Always use the greetings "Ave MAria Purissima" to start and end a talk, or
if somebody would like to speak and get noticed.
Always use the ACC-OMHS prescribed prayer or Guide for Block Rosary.
Deportment | Attire
As much as possible, all ladies or girls should be in their proper attire and
covered with white veil during the prayer and the procession. If you
anticipate several bisita then it is always nice to keep good number of
spare veils for their use.
Arrangement
Angelita and Angelito including small children should be arranged to kneel
near the altar followed by the Hijas de Maria, Querubin, Serafines then
APO.
The Marshall
At least one sealed servant should act like Marshall or guard of the
gathering and to direct the traffic during the procession.
Making of Rosaries
Officers and Members of the Block Rosary may also start a drive to make
Rosaries. They may ask donations from the APOs of their toka or region or
they may, from their own pocket as a sacrifice, purchase beads and strings.
Though, however, by the members ingenuity they can make rosaries out of
local and readily available materials. We, here in Saudi Arabia, use
polyester string in making Rosaries and the cross because religious articles
are not allowed. We also use Tile Spacer ,which is in the form of a cross,
for the cross of the rosaries. Everything are done in secret. Catholics here
are like the primitive Catacomb Church.
It is widely believed and proved true that the Saint Benedict Cross is a
powerful sacramental of the Catholic Church against evil spirits and witches
while the Miraculous Medal, through the agency of our B.V.Mary and St.
Maria Virginia, Beloved Ingkong pours graces in our soul.
The meeting should start by the Invocation of the Mahal na Ingkong - the
Holy Spirit, 5 decades of the Holy Rosary, A Spiritual Reading from the
Messages of Mahal na Ingkong or listening to taped message, a short
reflection, checking of attendance, reporting of other activities or
apostolates performed, discussion of current issues and concerns,
Reflection Sharing and lastly the Closing Prayer. The format of the meeting
can be discussed as well by all members of the block, including the
officers, and submit the same for comments and approval to the Spiritual
Director.
Any issues and concerns should not be discussed in the visited home
especially if homeowner are not yet sealed servants.
Hold the water vessel and extend your right hand over it, palm facing
downward and may say "Purihin at Luwalhatiin ka O Mahal na Ingkong,
ikatlong persona ng Iisang Diyos na maylikha ng kalahat lahatan.
Isinasamo ko po na hingahan ninyo at bendisyunan ang tubig [asin] na ito
upang maging banal na aming magamit sa aming pagba block Rosary na
ito. Na puspusin nyo po ng inyong kapangyarihan na saanman ito
maibendisyun, maiwisik na binabanggit ang inyong pangalan at inaawit ang
Christus Vincit ay mapalayas nito ang lahat ng kaaway ng kabanalan at
kabutihan at magsitakas palayo ang mga kaaway ng iyong mga tinatakan
at hinirang. Santa Maria Virginia, banal na Luklukan ng Diyos Espiritu
Santo, Mamang at ina naming mga tinatakan, idalangin nyo po at kami ay
inyong samahan, San Juan Bautista hipan nyo po at hawakan ang tubig na
ito. Isinasamo ko po sa ngalan ng Makapangyarihang Diyos, Ama, Anak, at
Espiritu Santo. Aleluya Aleluya Aleluya."
Breath on it|them thrice tracing the Cross, ask also another sealed servant
to breath on it. If there are many sealed servants, seven auxiliaries or apo
will do.
Ang Pagdarasal ng Sto. Rosaryo
Pagsisisi:
Panginoon kong Hesukristo, Diyos na totoo at tao namang totoo. Gumawa
at sumakop sa akin. Pinagsisisihan kong matibay, masakit sa tanang loob
ko, ang dilang pagkakasala ko sa Iyo. Ikaw nga po ang Diyos ko,
Panginoon ko at Ama ko, na iniibig kong higit na lalo sa lahat. Nagtitika rin
akong matibay na di na muling magkakasala sa Iyo, at nagtitika din akong
mangungumpisal sa dilang kasalanan ko, at umaasa akong patatawarin Mo
rin, alang-alang kay Hesukristong aming Panginoon. Siya Nawa.
at aawitin ang kantang “Lumang Krus”:
Lumang Krus
Sa malayong pook, malapit sa bundok
Nariyan ang isang lumang krus
Na pinagpakuan ng Poong Maykapal
Sa sala ng tao’y tumubos.
Koro:
Kung kaya’t aming iniaalay
Ang lahat sa lumang krus na iyan
Handog ko’y dalangin at dasal
Nang hirap Niya’y maparam.
Krus na iyan ay tigib
Ng dugo at luha
Kay Hesus na Mahal ng madla
Nagtiis ng hirap
Namatay Siya sa krus
Sa sala ng tao’y tumubos
(Repeat Koro)
ang susunod ay ang pag-antanda ng krus sa noo, bibig at dibdib sabay ang
pagbigkas nito:
V. Buksan Mo Panginoon ang aming mga labi (Hawakan ang krus)
R. At ang aming bibig ay magpupuri sa Iyo.
V. O Diyos, lumapit Ka at ako’y tulungan Mo.
R. O Panginoon, magmadali Ka sa pagsaklolo sa akin.
V. Luwalhati sa Diyos Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo.
R. Kapara ng sa unang-una ngayon at magpakailan man at
magpasawalang hanggan. Siya nawa.
Ang susunod, pagkatapos dasalin ang mga misteryo ay aawitin ang DIOS
TE SALVE:
DIOS TE SALVE
Dios te salve, Maria,
Llena eres de gracia,
el Senor es contigo.
bendita tu eres
entre todas las mujeres,
y bendito es el fruto
y bendito es el fruto
de tu vientre, Jesus.
At babati ulit ng Ave Maria Purissima, atin pong pagnilay-nilayin ang Banal
na “Litanya ng Mahal na Inang Birhen Maria”:
Tanda ng Krus:
Ang pagpapala, kapayapaan at pag-ibig ay sumaatin pong lahat mula sa
Kataas-taasang Diyos Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo. Amen.
Tandaan:
