The Shrine of Our Lady of Manaoag gift-ed us with an image of our Lady. After the mass, it was processed from the Chapel to the Session Hall. The Hall was dedicated to Our Lady of Manaoag.
The Eucharist was celebrated in honor of San Lorenzo Ruiz, the First Filipino Saint who is a married layman.
Archbishop Cruz delivers the homily.
The Mass was attended also by all the employees of LFC.
Fr. Mario (that's I) gives a short word of gratitude. "Pag 1st birthday ng bata, kahit anong hirap ng mga magulang, ipinagdiriwang. Kaya din kami sa LFC, nagpapasalamat kami at nagdiriwang."
The Simple Procession
The Prayer to the Mother of God
Our Lady of Manaoag, pray for us.
Prayer to the Mother of God
(Pope John Paul II)
Mother of the Redeemer
with great joy we call you blessed.
In order to carry out his plan of salvation,
God the Father chose you
before the creation of the world.
The Son of God desired you for his Mother
when he became man to save
the human race.
You received him with ready obedience and undivided heart.
The Holy Spirit loved you
as his mystical spouse
and filled you with singular gifts.
You allowed yourself to be led
by his hidden and powerful action.
We entrust to you the Church
which acknowledges you
and invokes you as Mother.
To you, Mother of the human family
and of the nations,
we confidently entrust
the whole of humanity,
with its hopes and fears.
Do not let it lack the light of true wisdom.
Guide its steps in the ways of peace.
Enable all to meet Christ,
The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Sustain us, O Virgin Mary,
on our journey of faith
and obtain for us the grace
of eternal salvation.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Mother of God
And our Mother, Mary!
