from all the world gather your people O God,into the feast of your life.

With grateful hearts, we sing our joy for knowing;Spirit within, among us all;life and knowledge, revealed through your word: Jesus, The christ, Emmanuel.

1. Sapagkat nilingap Niya, kababaan ng kanyang alipin Mapalad ang pangalan ko sa lahat ng mga bansa.2. Sapagkat gumawa ang Poon ng mga dakilang bagay; Banal sa lupa't langit ang pangalan ng Panginoon.3. At ipinahayag Niya ang lakas sa kanya'y may takot At sa lahat ng salinlahi ang awa Niya'y walang hanggan.4. At ipinakita N'ya ang lakas ng kanyang bisig At ang mga palaloy pinangalat ng Panginoon5. Ibinulud sa upuan ang mga makapangya Itinampok, itinaas ang mga mabababagang loob. 6. At kanya naming binusog angmga nangangagugutom Pinaalis walang dala ang mga mayamang mapagmataas.7. Inampon N'ya ang Israel na kanyang aliping hinirang; Sa dakila n'yang pagmamahal at dala ng laking awa N'ya.

PRAYER FOR THE DEAD / Psalm 129 (English)

Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord.Lord, hear my voice

Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

10 83

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand it?

For with You there is merciful forgiveness and by reason of Your law I have waited for You, O Lord.

My soul has relied on His word. My soul has hoped in the Lord.

From the morning watch even until night let Israel hope in the Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy and with Him plentiful redemption.And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and letPerpetual light shine upon them.

Lord, have mercy on us.Christ, have mercy on us.Lord, have mercy on us.

Our Father...(in common)

V. From the gates of hellR. Deliver their souls, O Lord.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

Conclusion Christ I told you at the start, My other self, My life was not

complete until I crowned it by My death. Your "way" is not complete unless you crown it by your life.

Accept each moment as it comes to you, with faith and trust that all that happens has My mark on it.

A simple fiat, this is all it takes; a breathing in your heart, "I will it, Lord."

So seek Me not in far - off places. I am close at hand. Your workbench, office, kitchen, these are altars where you offer love. And I am with you there.

Go now! Take up your cross and with your life complete your way.

1182

R. And let my cry come to You.

Let us prayO God to whose bounty and love, man owes his pardon and salvation.

We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

V. May they rest in peace.R. Amen.

DE PROFUNDIS / Psalm 129 (Filipino)

Sa gitna ng paghihirap, tinawag ko'y Panginoon,Kaya Yahweh, ako'y dinggin pagkat ako'y timataghoy.

Dinggin mo ang pagtawag ko at paghingi ng tulong.

Kung ikaw ay may talaan nitong aming mga kasalanan,Lahat kami ay tatanggap ng hatol mong nakalaan.

Ngunit iyong pinatawad, kasalanan ay nilimot;Pinatawad mo nga kami upang sa iyo ay matakot.

Sabik akong naghihintay sa tulong mo, Panginoon,Pagkat ako'y may tiwala sa pangako mong pagtulong.

All : Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

Christ So ends My mortal life.

But now another life begins for Mary, and for Magdalen, for Peter and for John, and you.

My work as man is done. My work within and through My Church must now commence.

I look to you, My other self.

Day in, day out, from this time forth, be My apostle - victim - saint.

Man My Jesus, Lord, You know my spirit is as willing as my flesh is weak.

The teaching You could not impart, the sufferings You could not bear, the works of love You could not do in Your short life on earth, let me impart, and bear, and do through You. But I am nothing, Lord. Help me!

Leader: Have mercy on us, O Lord All : Have mercy on us.

12 81

Yaring aking pananabik, Panginoonay higit pa a Serenong naghihintay sa pagsapit ng umaga.

Magtiwala ka Israel, magtiwala sa iyong Diyos,Matatag at hindi kukupas ang pag-ibig niyang dulot.

lagi s'yang naghahandog sa sinuman ay tutubos;Ililigtas ang Israel, yaong hirang, ililigtas n'ya sa kanilang kasalanan.

Panginoon, maawa ka sa amin.Kristo, maawa ka sa amin.Panginoon, maawa ka sa amin.

Ama namin...

N: Kapayapaan kailanman ang igawad ng Maykapal sa yumaong ating mahal.

L: Sila nawa ay silayan ng ilaw na walalng hanggan.

Manalangin tayo Ama naming makapangyarihan, ginawa mong bumagtas sa kalangitan ang iyong Anak na nanaog sa kamatayan. Ipagkaloob mo sa kanila na nanaog sa pagkamatay ang kapalarang makaharap sa iyong kadakilaan bilang Lumikha at Manunubos kailanman, sa pamamagitan ni Hesukristo, kasama ng Espiritu Santo magpasawalang hanggan. Amen.

Christ The sacrifice is done.

Yes, My Mass is complete; but not My mother's and not yours. My other self.

My mother still must cradle in her arms the lifeless body of the Son she bore.

You, too, must part from those you love, and grief will come to you. In your bereavements think of this: A multitude of souls were saved by Mary's sharing in My Calvary. Your grief can also be the price of souls.

Man I beg You Lord, help me accept the partings that must come - from friends who go away, my children leaving home, and most of all, my dear ones when You shall call them to Yourself. Then, give me grace to say: "As it has pleased You, Lord, to take them home, I bow to Your most holy will And if by just one word I might restore their lives against Your will, I would not speak." Grant them eternal joy.

Man My Jesus, God, what can I say or do?

Then raising up My knees so that My feet are flat against the wood, they hammer them fast, too.

Man My God, I look at you and think: Is my soul worth this much?

What can I give You in return?

May I be poor in spirit, My Lord, so that I can be rich in

You.


11. Jesus Is Crucified



Christ Can you imagine what a crucifixion is?

My executioner's stretch My arms; they hold My hand and wrist against the wood and press the nail until it stabs My flesh. Then with one heavy hammer smash they drive it through- and pain bursts like a bomb of fire in My brain.

They seize the other arm; and agony again explodes.

10. Jesus is Stripped



Christ Behold, My other self, the poorest King who ever lived. Before My creatures I stand stripped. The cross - My deathbed - even this is not My own.

Yet who has ever been so rich?

Possessing nothing, I own all - My Father's love. If you, too, would own everything, be not solicitous

about your food, your clothes, your life.

Man My Lord, I offer You my all - whatever I possess, and more, my self.

Detach me from the craving for prestige, position,

9. The Third Fall



Christ Completely drained of strength I lie, collapsed, upon the cobblestones. My body cannot move. No blows, no kicks, can rouse it up.

And yet My will is Mine. And so is yours.

Know this, My other self, your body may be broken, but no force on earth and none in hell can take away your will.

Your will is yours.

Man My Lord, I see You take a moment's rest then rise and stagger on. So I can do because my will is mine.

When all my strength is gone and guilt and self-reproach press me to earth and seem to hold me fast, protect me from the sin of Judas - save me from despair!

Lord, never let me feel that any sin of mine is greater

Christ How often had I longed to take the children of Jerusalem and gather them to Me. But they refused.

But now these women weep for Me and My heart mourns for them - mourns for their sorrows that will come.

I comfort those who seek to solace Me. How gentle can you be, My other self, How kind?

Man My Jesus, Your compassion in Your passion is beyond compare.

Lord, teach me, help me learn. When I would snap at those who hurt me with their ridicule, those who misunderstand, or hinder me with some misguided helpfulness, those who intrude upon my privacy – then help me curb my tongue.

May gentleness become my cloak.

Christ Can you be brave enough, My other self, to wipe My bloody face?

Where is My face, you ask?

At home whenever eyes fill up with tears, at work when tensions rise, on playgrounds, in the slums, the courts, the hospitals, the jails -wherever suffering exists - My face is there. And there I look for you to wipe away My blood and tears.

Man Lord, what You ask is hard. It calls for courage and self-sacrifice, and I am weak. Please, give me strength. Don't let me run away because of fear.

Lord, live in me and act in me and love in me.. And not in me alone - in all men - so that we may reveal no more Your bloody but Your glorious face on earth.

To carry my cross after You, I, too, must stand and watch the sufferings of my dear ones; the heartaches, sicknesses and grief of those I love.

And I must let them watch mine, too. I do believe- for those who love You all things work

together unto good. They must!

Christ: The God who made the universe, and holds it in existence by His will alone, becomes, as man, too weak to bear a piece of timber's weight.

Be You King, of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd. Grant, O Lord, to Your Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honor forever. Amen.

Yet we are truly one- one Christ.

And therefore My way of the cross two thousand years ago and your "way" now are also one.

The enriched Rosary of John Paul II with the additional Mysteries of Light would have been a welcome contemplation of the Mysteries of Christ and of the mysteries of Mary for the Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo, a paradigm for us today of the Christian spirituality that is anchored on the Eucharist and supported by the Rosary of Mary. Let us pray for the causes of the beatification and canonization of this Servant of God, a Filipina Beata.

Reflection: ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE. To contemplate and be with Christ in the Eucharist is the Holy Father's call to all the faithful in the Third millennium. And this in Mary's school for prayer, contemplating Christ with Mary. The rediscovery of the treasure that is the Rosary of Mary as the sweet chain linking us to god and as the special instrument of our spiritual nourishment is very vividly exemplified in the life of Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo.

At the instance of their spiritual adviser Fr. Juan de Sto. Domingo, OP early on in the formation of the group of Mother Francisca, the decision was to have fifteen beatas in honor of the mysteries of the rosary. Each Beata would take a mystery of the Holy Rosary for her own particular devotion. This was in imitation of the same practice remembered by Fr. Sto. Domingo to have been introduced in a convent of Dominican Sisters in the Canary Islands sometime in 1658 by Fr. Pedro de Sta. Maria Olloa, OP. Only later would the priest find out that such was already the idea of Mother Sebastiana, a mystic from Pasig and one of the original companions of Mother.

When the Beaterio de Sta. Catalina was finally built out of the generosity of benefactors and of the Dominican Fathers, at last they have their own oratory. Mother Francisca right away ordered that the Rosary be prayed by the community three times a day: in the morning, early afternoon, and again at midnight. It was the conviction of R. Sto. Domingo that with the help of the Virgin of the Rosary the lack of funds by

and frequent, even daily, confession.

An incident illustrates Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo's great love for the Eucharist. When they finally had their own Beaterio and after their return from exile in Colegio de Sta. Potenciana during the closure, Mother Francisca came up with the intense desire to have the Blessed Sacrament in their chapel. But Archbishop Diego Camacho y Avila refused to grant permission. When the new Archbishop Francisco de la Cuesta arrived the following year, Francisca proposed to the Father Provincial of the Dominicans that a direct passageway be built form the beaterio to the Church of the Colegio de San Juan de Letran. When the idea was turned down, she waited until a new provincial was elected who was favorable to it. But it was still the former Provincial, Fr. Juan de Sto. Domingo, OP, writer of the Breve Relacion (1711) about the Beaterio de Sta. Catalina, who actually built the passageway that gave access for the community of Mother Francisca to the Blessed Sacrament of the San Juan de Letran Church. The ready access meant that through a balcony the whole choir of the church was reserved for the religious women. A communion rail was placed for them, not to mention two confessional boxes with iron gates at the side of the choir.

SECOND QUARTER

Second Reading: John 6:31-35

Reflection: ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA. On the Holy Thursday (April 17) of 2003, John Paul gifted the Church with his latest encyclical "Eucharistia". The Church lives and draws her strength and self-identity from the Eucharist. The Eucharist builds the Church. It is the sacrament of divine presence and the summit of and central to all Church activity. To receive the Lord in Holy Communion is the fulfillment of the sacramental encounter, which must be celebrated with proper dignity and reverence. And it is truly expressive of intimacy and helpful toward greater communion to stay in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Francisca del Espiritu Santo together with her early companions Antonia de Jesus Maria Fuentes, Sebastiana de Jesus, and Maria Ana de la Vega, initially frequented the sacraments in the church of the Convent of Sto. Domingo in Intramuros. In the piety current at the time that means Mass, with Holy Communion every fortnight more or less upon the permission of the confessor or spiritual director,

Reflection: THE EUCHARIST, THE ROSARY, AND MOTHER FRANCISCA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO by Msgr. Sabino A. Vengco, Jr.

A local event that took place last July 8, 2003, presaging another milestone in the history of the Catholic in the Philippines, is the formal opening of the process for the causes of beatification and canonization of the servant of God, Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo. Interestingly this 18th century Filipina Beata personifies deep intimacy with the Eucharist and primal devotion to the Rosary, two inestimable treasures of the Church also recently presented for our renewed attention and reflection by Pope John Paul II in his Encyclical Letter, "Ecclesia de Eucharistia" issued on April 17, 2003, and in his Apostolic Letter "The Rosary of the Virgin Mary" dated October 16, 2002. The convergence of these happenings in the local Church is providential.

It is remarkable that as we now reflect on the life and mission of Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo as a Filipina beata, we are also asked by the Holy Father to reflect on

60

From the desire of being preferred to others, .. From the desire of being consulted, ... From the desire of being approved, ... From the fear of being humiliated,... From the fear of being despised, ... From the fear of suffering rebukes, ... From the fear of being calumniated, ... From the fear of being forgotten, ... From the fear of being ridiculed, ... From the fear of being wronged,... From the fear of being suspected, .. That others may be loved more than ... Jesus grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I,... That in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease, ... That others may be chosen and I set aside, ... That others may be praised and I unnoticed, ...

That others may be preferred to me in everything, That others become holier than I, provided that I may

become as holy as I should. Amen.

She believed in You with her whole being, she hoped for the perfection of Your plan, and she loved You in imitation of Your incarnate Son. In trials and in penance she persevered and was purified. An instrument of Your ineffable holiness, Francisca del Espiritu Santo touched so many lives and continues to edify Your Filipino people. If it is in accord with Your plans, let the present ecclesial inquiry into the causes of her beatification and canonization lead to the triumph of Your grace. Let the recognition of her sanctity be a proof of Your guidance. Let her beatification and canonization be yet another outpouring of Your love to Your chosen people in the far east and an added blessing to the Universal Church. In the power of Your Holy spirit, who filled the heart of Francisca del Espiritu Santo, let the canonical proceedings be successfully carried out, so that at the end we all can sing: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Resurrection of the Body and life everlasting. Amen.
