It’s been three months now since the revival of the Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC, also known as “Ang Munting Sambahayang Kristyano” or Ang Munting Sambahayan ni Kristo”) in our Parish, the Church of the Holy Family, Parang, Marikina City.

Three months of sharing and being nourished in the Table of GOD’S LIVING WORD, in preparation for being perfectly filled by JESUS, THE BREAD OF LIFE, THE CHALICE OF SALVATION AND THE FATHER’S ONLY SON, HIS WORD INCARNATE in the SUBLIME ALTAR OF THE MASS.

Three months of being able to exhort and challenge ourselves to be cleansed of the leprosy of our sins and be changed from glory to glory through the SACRAMENT OF PENANCE, CONFESSION AND RECONCILIATION, OUR COMING HOME TO OUR FATHER’S HOUSE.

Three months of being gathered together to pray the EVANGELICAL PRAYER: THE HOLY ROSARY and to SHARE IN OUR RICH LIFE-EXPERIENCES IN UNION WITH THE SACRED READINGS OF THE PAULINE/ORDINARY RITE OF THE MASS FOR THE COMING SUNDAY.

Three months of APOSTOLIC BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD in union with OUR HOLY MOTHER CHURCH.

I do wish that we would be able to enjoy this CHRIST-FILLED “BUKLURAN” even up to the coming of the day of OUR BLESSED HOPE: THE AWESOME COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

I hope that we would be able to share our lives with each other, WITH MARY, THE EVER VIRGIN MOTHER OF THE CHURCH.

MATTHEW 16:13-19
