PANALANGIN SA MAHAL NA BIRHEN NG ANTIPOLO

Masintahing Ina, sumasamo at dumududulog kami sa iyo. Tulungan mo kaming magpasalamat sa Panginoon sa lahat ng mga grasya at pagpapalang ipinakaloob Niya sa amin. Sa tulong at awa mo, lingapin mo po ang mga naglalakbay, lalo na ang mangingibang bansa, upang maluwalhating makarating sa kanilang paroroonan. Kami rin pong lahat ay iyong gabayan at akayin sa aming paglalakbay sa buhay.

Sa aming pagtahak sa buhay na puno ng pag-aalinlangan at pangamba, pagkalooban po ninyo kami ng lakas at tapang na tahakin ang landas ng iyong mahal na Anak.

Mahal na Ina, lumalapit po kami sa iyo na dulutan mo ng mapayapang kalinga ang aming tahanan. Tulungan mo po kami na maitaguyod ng maayos at matuwid ang aming pamilya. Sa aming paglalayag sa buhay, palakasin at patatagin mo ang bawat isa sa amin na makabuo ng isang pamayanang pinaghaharian ng iyong mahal na Anak.

Nawa’y sa tulong at biyaya mo, mahal naming Ina, kami ay kupkupin ng iyong mahal na Anak at ilagay Niya kami sa ilalim ng Kanyang pagkakandili at huwag kaming iwanan sa paglalakbay sa buhay lalung lalo na sa oras ng kagipitan.

Sa pamamagitan mo Inang Mahal pagpalain at tangkilikin mo po ang aming paglalakbay, upang mabuhay kami sa kapayapaan at marating namin ang kaluwalhatian ng buhay na walang hanggan. Amen.

Ina ng Kapayapaan at Mabuting Paglalakbay, Ipanalangin mo kami!

NOVENA TO OUR MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP

As we prepare now for Our Mother of Perpetual Help, we will offer this Novena for our nation, which is embroiled and battered with much chaos, and to purify our country from evil forces.

- EUCHARISTIC HEART OF JESUS

This feast commemorates the supreme love of the Sacred Heart which instituted the august Eucharist to dwell here below with us and to give to our souls His flesh is food and His blood to drink. In the tabernacle dwells the most loving Heart, a human Heart, but one that never wearies of us, that longs for our love with infinite love: “Come to Me, all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you.”

On November 9, 1921, Pope Benedict XV instituted the feast of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus to be celebrated on the Thursday within the Octave of the Sacred Heart (the Second Thursday after Corpus Christi) with a Proper Mass and Office. The feast continues to be celebrated in some dioceses and religious communities.

PAGES IN HISTORY I THE ARRIVAL OF OUR LADY OF ANTIPOLO TO THE PHILIPPINES

After months of journeying, on March 25, 1626, Don Juan Niño de Tabora boarded the galleon El Almirante and departed from Mexico for the Philippines. He brought with him the brown image of the Blessed Virgin. The San Raimundo Galleon - El Almirante successfully weathered the dangers of stormy seas and even a fire aboard the ship during its three-month journey. It finally arrived in the ports of Manila on June 18, 1626. Governor Tabora credited the Blessed Virgin for the galleon’s safe and successful voyage and called for a celebration to honor the image’s arrival. A religious procession was held to transfer the image to the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros.
