FCCCPC and You - Special Presentation
While Christmas is a holiday celebrated worldwide, some Filipino traditions fully embraced and have modified into something that can quite call "ours".. Below are the things and traditions that are uniquely Pinoy. Completing the Simbang Gabi or Misa de Gallo is in almost everyone's bucket list. It is a practice originated in the early Spanish colonial period as a practical compromise for Filipino farmers who began working before sunrise, to avoid working in the fields under the heat of the sun. Simbang gabi is a nine-day series of masses to honor Blessed Virgin Mary. The mass starts from December 16 to Christmas eve. Filipinos wake up before the crackdown to attend the mass hoping to have a granted wish once they complete the nine days.

As we approach Lenten Season, we seek for the grace to be fully present with love and compassion to the suffering of our time. By doing so, we prepare our hearts to receive God's love born as an infant messiah. Jesus reminds us not to be led astray or prepare your defense in advance. Our lives lived in faithful witness to the kingdom that is to become a sign of joy and hope for today. In 2016, at the end of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis named the 33th Sunday in the Ordinary Time the World Day of the Poor. The Pope entreats the faithful to reach out in solidarity to those most in need. This calls us to live our waiting with commitment, stepping out of certainties and comforts, and entering vulnerability.
Throughout our times we get all kinds of requests. One such special invitation occurred long ago, but still, even today, it remains out as one of the most extraordinary of all. I'm referring to the Passion of Christ and the invitation to visit the scenes of the events in Jerusalem and walked the traditional route from the supposed location of Pilate's house to Calvary. Jesus continued these invitations throughout His earthly ministry. He called the depressed to rest in Him, the lost to discover their way in Him. He urged the sick, the blind, and the lame to be healed.
