POEMS FOR SAINT ARNOLD JANSSEN

SAN ARNOLD, KATANGI-TANGI KA

“Sa simula pa’y naroon na ang Salita
Kasama ng Diyos ang Salita
At ang Salita ay Diyos”
Ito ang iyong pinaniwalaang lubos

Namuhay ka nang payapa at simple
Kasama ng pamilya, nagdarasal araw at gabi
Sa Diyos tumatawag, ang tiwala’y matindi
Kalooban Niya ang sinusunod parati

Ramdam ang pangangailangan ng sangkatauhan
Buo ang kalooban, misyon mo’y isinakatuparan
Walang imposible, sa Diyos nanangan
Mabuting Balita, ipinahayag sa sandaigdigan

O, San Arnold, katangi-tangi ka
Kami’y naghahangad na matularan ka
Mabuti mong hangarin, nais naming palaganapin
Salita ng Diyos, nawa’y maghari sa amin

San Arnold, kami’y iyong ipanalangin
Sa buhay na ito, at sa buhay na darating
Tulad mo, kami nawa’y pagpalain
Ng Diyos na dakila at tunay na butihin

San Arnold, pananalita mo’y uulit ulitin
Magiging gabay sa aming landasin
“Nawa ang puso ni Hesus ang manahan sa amin
At sa puso ng lahat,” O, aming dalangin.



SAINT ARNOLD JANSSEN, THE MISSION MAN

“In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was God”
This is the verse you kept in mind

You lived a peaceful and simple life
With your family, you prayed day and night
Your faith in God was immovable
Yes, you believe, nothing is impossible

You started the mission, and to the world you go
To preach the Gospel, and His love be known
To the poor, sick, and marginalized
It was then, His will was realized

O, Saint Arnold, you’re a chosen one
Humble, prayerful, and a holy man
Chaste, poor, obedient, that’s who you are
Guided by the Trinity, truly a mission man.

Pray for us, O, Saint Arnold
That we may constantly seek the will of the Lord
May He bless our lives, as He blest you
May His Divine Providence guide us through

Your good example, we want to imitate
The words you foretold, we would reiterate
“May the Heart of Jesus live in our hearts
And in the hearts of all”, O, we pray.

AGA MUHLACH VISITED THE SHRINE

Yes, the one and only AGA MUHLACH...the Philippines' prime actor visited the shrine last October 12, 2008. He attended the Children's mass at 4:00pm. It was made possible through the invitation of Fr. Leo Schmitt, SVD. Aga was the donor of the huge statue image of our Patron, Saint Arnold Janssen which was placed near the shrine door...Aga Muhlach proved he is not only an actor but also a man of God...

Parishioners came to witness God's grace through the presence of Aga Muhlach

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES

February 11 is the Feast Day of OUR LADY OF LOURDES. It is also the World Day of the Sick. We held a procession in our shrine at 4:30 in the afternoon - from the shrine going to Suburban/Accessoria then back to the shrine. Fr. Leo Schmitt, SVD, and Fr. Bong Bongayan, SVD joined in the procession. The Extra-Ordinary
Ministers of the Holy Communion (EMHC) were assigned to pull the karosa of Our Lady. The Mother Butlers Guild, Lectors Ministry, Social Service Ministry, Knights of the Altar, and other mandated organizations participated. The 6:00 pm Mass is a HEALING MASS. Many parishioners attended the mass and all were filled with God's healing through the intercession of Mother Mary, the Immaculate Conception...
Deo gratias!

Reaching the shrine after the procession

Fr. Bong read the prayer for the sick...

Praying for all the sick - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sickness

Anointing and healing of the sick...

Fr. Bong anointing with the blessed oil
