Looking for Christmas help

I was wondering if your church is having anything for children for Christmas. I am looking for Christmas help for my 3 boys ages 10-8-4. I am a hard working mother and am looking for some help with food and toys or clothes for my kids. If you can help me or direct me to someone or a agency who can assist me I would greatly appreciate it. I have called around everywhere and everything is full. So they told me to contact my local churches to see if any can help. Thank you so much, and have a wonderful blessed day. My phone number is 562-200-4646. I live in the long beach area. Please ....... Thank you so much. Arissa.Woodard@sedgwickcms.com

Pray for my Dad

My Dad just went into Hospice this afternoon. Please pray for his quick release. He is in a lot of pain. Those who were the pilgrimage with me to Israel the first of September may remember my mention of him. I had brought him home this Wednesday and he was doing well, then Friday morning he collapsed on me. I had to have the paramedics rush him to emergency, then back to the VA Hospital in Tucson. All vitals are out of wack. He was extremely dehydrated and adema is there. Kidneys a problem.
Dr. Lazurus said that he might also have had a heart attack. The chemo may have been to much for his body/organs. He is 90 years old. Fr. Greg came last night and we had prayers and the last rites. My prayers is for his peaceful return to the father so that his pain and struggle may be over. Pray for my brothers and sister and I to have the strength to face this lose. Thank You.

Godspeed, Fr. Jonax!

Fr. Jose R. Nacu, M.S. passed away on November 24, 2008
Missionary priest, cancer victim advocate and founder of the Institute of Reconciliation
By Wally Arida


SILANG, CAVITE, PHIL., (Nov. 24, 2008) - After a decades-long battle with cancer, the Rev. Fr. Jose R. Nacu, MS passed away peacefully today, November 24, 2008, in Silang, Philippines. He was the founder of the Institute of Reconciliation and served as its Executive Director to his deathbed.

Fr. Jonax ,as he was fondly called by many throughout his life, was the first Filipino Missionary of Our Lady of La Salette. He was ordained a priest in Fall River, Massachusetts. In 1957, he became the first Filipino Rector of La Salette of Santiago College, in Santiago, Isabela City, Philippines. Many Lasalette missionaries who are serving today today point to him as one of the key people who inspired them to join the priesthood.

He was also an advocate for cancer victim survivors who planted the seed of sharing among cancer patients in the Philippines. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in the early 1980s in Hawaii. Having no family with whom to spend his last days, he came home to the Philippines to look for others similarly afflicted. Thus were born such groups as CanSurvive at the Rizal Medical Center and Aruga at the Jose Reyes Memorial Hospital.

But God wasn't quite ready for him yet at that time. He went on with his life and lived with the cancer for about two more decades.

Earlier during the early 1970s in Manila, Philippines, while serving as a parish priest in Tondo, Philippines - one of the most impoverished areas of the country - he founded and served as the adviser of the Zone One Todo Organization (ZOTO), an advocacy group for the poor people who lived in ths slums of his pastoral area. Because of his very active advocacy work, the government of then-president Ferdinand Marcos detained him in prison for two years without being formally charged.

Upon his release, he moved to the United States where he served as pastor and priest for several parishes in Hawaii and California. He spent his retirement years in Moreno Valley, CA where he served as priest minister of the local Catholic parish communities of St. Patrick Church and St. Christopher church. He did this earnestly until his illness made him too sick to serve.

He returned to the Philippines in September 2008 with a dying wish to be laid to rest in his homeland.

Even during his dying days, he worked to make the Institute of Reconciliation - which he fondly called his "baby" - a moving force in the promotion of and education for Peace and Reconciliation. With his passing, the team he left behind will continue the work to keep the dream of this kind and holy priest alive.

As he counted the days to the end of his earthly life, he didn't fear death. He always looked forward to seeing his maker some day. Yes, he suffered from the pain of cancer for the many months prior to his death. But many times he had told those around him that he willingly accepted the pain and offered it to God as a sacrifice for the benefit of the many others he knew who also suffered in their daily lives.

Fr. Nacu lived a full life. His radiant smile, engaging sense of humor and contagious laughter followed him everywhere he went. He was well loved and he was richly respected by all the communities he had the pleasure of serving in his lifetime. He may not be around anymore, but his shadow will always loom large over the countless lives and institutions he had touched.

His life was the sort of legends. And with his passing, the legend of Jonax lives on.

Godspeed, Fr. Nacu.

Eternal rest grant upon him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him.

Please share below your memories of Fr. Jose R. Nacu, M.S. And please say a prayer for the eternal repose of his soul.

Pray for Mr. HM

Please help me pray that my husband, Mr HM, will return to our home. Please pray also that his family & relatives learn to accept me.

Prayers for Joy Escaro

I want to request some prayers for Joy Escaro. She is the daughter of Thelma Escaro, a friend I met a few years ago through the American Society for the Defense of Tradition Family and Property (TFP). Joy is currently in a health care facility because she is in a coma. It was just 4 months ago when she graced us with her presence at San Secondo D Asti at Father Fragelli's first Masses after ordiantion. She has had a strong devotion to Our Lady, and Our Lord. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. Thank you.

Pray

LORD, JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE SO KIND
NO MERITS OF MY OWN
INVITE ME TO THE PLEASURES OF YOUR BANQUET TABLE
I AM A SINNER AND I COME IN FEAR AND TREMBLING,
ENCOURAGED ONLY BY YOUR MERCY AND GOODNESS

MY SOUL AND BODY ARE DEFILED WITH MANY SINFUL DEED
MY TONGUE AND HEART HAVE RUN THEIR COURSE WITHOUT RESTRAINT
GOD OF GRACIOUS KINDNESS, WHILE I TREMBLE BEFORE YOUR MAJESTY
WRETCH THAT I AM, TRAPPED IN MY OWN INSUFFICIENCY,
I STILL LOOK TO YOU, THE SOURCE OF MERCY.

I HASTEN TO YOU TO BE HEALED AND TO SEEK REFUGE UNDER YOUR PROTECTION
I YEARN TO HAVE YOU FOR MY SAVIOR, PLEASE COME AND SIT IN THE THRONE MY HEART.

I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS AND
ROSE AGAIN IN THE THIRD DAY AND ASCENDED TO HEAVEN,
LORD PLEASE FORGIVE ALL MY SINS. AMEN


SCRIPTURES
2 Corinthians 12:9 the LORD said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Mark 9:24 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

John 14:1 Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."

Romans 8:37 in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
