were exchanged and the small

chika-chika groups that con-

vened after the breakfast. Onesister commented, We should

have more of this kind of gather-

ing. Everybody around her

agreed.

Big assembly of brothers and

sisters, like the sectoral break-

fast, is an occasion to look for-

ward. It inspires, reconnects and

builds up the community mem-

bership. It also gathers more

people to God.Be there the next time it

happens.

Charity is not just giving things or money. Charity is denying oneself, it is a selfless stand, oftenhidden, for the benefit of another person or people.

beautiful young couple from

Ormoc, were the sharers onthat special breakfast fellowship.

Lito is the Formation Director

The couple sharer inspired

many of the breakfasters as they

proclaimed Gods faithfulness; of

God giving them strength to

overcome their struggles.

Indeed the sectoral breakfast

If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what youare. Humility is the only virtue the devil cannot imitate.

Fr. Raffy De Gracia

PrayerTeaching

Fr. Raffy

1. What is Prayer? Is it Useful and for What?

It is coming into the presence of God - to worship; to ask for forgiveness;

to give thanks and to seek help.

It is where we step up to reach out to God, and he stoops down to em-

brace us.

It is a conversation, a one-on-one chat with God

It is to strengthen and further develop our relationship with God.

2. Different Ways of Prayer1. Private

Essential Preparation for Private Prayers

1. Decide how important prayer is our life.

2. Schedule an appropriate time that you can adhere to.

3. Form a prayer habit by praying daily.

4. Choose a quiet place where you can pray undisturbed.

Plan our Private Prayer Schedules

1. How long should you pray?

2. What would be an appropriate time to pray?3. How much prayer time would you consider adequate?

2. Public

How do we Pray at Mass

The Eucharist is the perfect prayer, where we meet a live Christ. The

Mass is actually divided into two parts.

1. First, is the reading of scriptural passages, taken from the Old and

New Testaments.

2. The second part is the Consecration where the priest, by the au-

thority of Jesus, changes the bread and wine into the Body and

Blood of Jesus.

By the action of the priest when repeating the same words Jesus uttered

during the Last Supper, the fullness of Jesus is made present - his body,

soul and divinity - during consecration.

The Mass provides us with the privilege of receiving the actual physical

Body of Christ, the very same one who died 2,000 years ago on the

cross.

Through the gift of the Eucharist, Jesus Allows us to come in direct

contact with him.
