However\, with the price tags attached to weddings nowadays\, some opt to go for more practical options such as a Kasalang Bayan. \nA recent Kasalang Bayan aptly called May Forever: Kasalan sa Lancaster New City\, with seventeen participating couples\, was held last July 30 in Cavite. Wedding organizers took care of coordinating with the wedding suppliers which greatly took a huge load off the couples who got married. \nHere are top four things to remember\, as suggested by the wedding organizers of the May Forever: Kasalan sa Lancaster New City\, for a stress-free and memorable Kasalang Bayan. \nTip 1 : Coordinate and follow schedules set by your wedding organizers \nStrictly following the schedule can never be emphasized enough during weddings\, especially if it involves participants outside your circle of family and friends. Your wedding organizers should update you every step of the way and in return\, you need to follow the schedules strictly. \nMake sure to attend general meetings and rehearsals so you know what will happen every step of the way. Do not also forget to update your entourage and invited guests. \nTip 2 : Arrive on time \nBeing punctual goes a long way. There will be several couples with you walking down the aisle\, so make sure you and your entourage arrive on time to avoid delays in the program. You and your fellow couples won’t feel rushed and you’ll be able to enjoy every moment of the wedding. \nTip 3 : Hair-and-makeup preparation \nHours before the wedding day\, the brides will find themselves trapped in a chair with busy hands tugging on their hair and brushes on colorful makeup palettes. Chaotic as it may seem\, it’s one of the most exciting highlights of a bride’s day where she gets dolled up. \nBefore the wedding day\, be sure to test different looks to know which suits you best. It will be easier during the wedding day itself once you and your hair and makeup artists have settled on a look that reflects your personality and makes you standout. \nTip 4 : The After-Party \nContinue the celebration with your guests by having your own after-wedding party. After congratulating your fellow newly-weds at the church venue\, you can treat your guests to a simple after-party where you can do other post-wedding ceremonies such as the couple dance\, cake slicing and wine toasting. Take the time to thank each and every one of them who joined you on your special occasion. \nIf there is enough time\, you may also ask help from the organizers to help you out. Just be sure to coordinate with them properly to plan out your after-party. \nCourtesy: http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/ \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/kasalang-bayan-2017/ LOCATION:Shrine & Parish of Our Lady of Aranzazu\, Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu Gen.

Yet at heart he was ever the poor Franciscan friar\, and practised and taught humility and mortification. \nSt. Francis gave him his name; for\, having miraculously cured him of a mortal sickness\, he prophetically exclaimed of the child\, “O bona ventura!”-good luck. \nHe is known also as the “Seraphic Doctor\,” from the fervor of divine love which breathes in his writings. He was the friend of St. Thomas Aquinas\, who asked him one day whence he drew his great learning. He replied by pointing to his crucifix. At another time St. Thomas found him in ecstasy while writing the life of St. Francis\, and exclaimed\, “Let us leave a Saint to write of a Saint.” They received the Doctor’s cap together. \nHe was the guest and adviser of St. Louis\, and the director of St. Isabella\, the king’s sister. At the age of thirty-five in 1257 he was made general of his Order; and only escaped another dignity\, the Archbishopric of York\, by dint of tears and entreaties. Gregory X. appointed him Cardinal Bishop of Albano. \nWhen the Saint heard of the Pope’s resolve to create him a Cardinal\, he quietly made his escape from Italy. But Gregory sent him a summons to return to Rome. On his way\, he stopped to rest himself at a convent of his Order near Florence; and there two Papal messengers\, sent to meet him with the Cardinal’s hat\, found him washing the dishes. The Saint desired them to hang the hat on a bush that was near\, and take a walk in the garden until he had finished what he was about. Then taking up the hat with unfeigned sorrow\, he joined the messengers\, and paid them the respect due to their character. \nHe sat at the Pontiff’s right hand\, and spoke first at the Council of Lyons. His piety and eloquence won over the Greeks to Catholic union\, and then his strength failed. \nHe died while the Council was sitting\, and was buried by the assembled bishops\, A. D. 1274. \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/saint-bonaventure-bishop-doctor-of-the-church/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Saint of the Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/apostle_bonaventure.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20170714T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20170714T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170710T091029Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170710T091041Z UID:1994-1500055200-1500066000@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:COMMON LAY FORMATION DESCRIPTION:Compulsory for all Ministries\, Organizations\, MSKs\, \nSpeaker & Mass Celebrant: Rev.

At the age of nineteen he took service with his father\, an Italian noble\, against the Turks\, and after four years hard campaigning found himself\, through his violent temper\, reckless habits\, and inveterate passion for gambling\, a discharged soldier\, and in such straitened circumstances that he was obliged to work as a laborer on a Capuchin convent which was then building. A few words from a Capuchin friar brought about his conversion\, and he resolved to become a religious. \nThrice he entered the Capuchin novitiate\, but each time an obstinate wound in his leg forced him to leave. He repaired to Rome for medical treatment\, and there took St. Philip as his confessor\, and entered the hospital of St. Giacomo\, of which he became in time the superintendent. The carelessness of the paid chaplains and nurses towards the suffering patients now inspired him with the thought of founding a congregation to minister to their wants. With this end he was ordained priest\, and in 1586 his community of the Servants of the Sick was confirmed by the Pope. Its usefulness was soon felt\, not only in hospitals\, but in private houses. \nSummoned at every hour of the day and night\, the devotion of Camillus never grew cold. With a woman’s tenderness he attended to the needs of his patients. He wept with them\, consoled them\, and prayed with them. He knew miraculously the state of their souls; and St. Philip saw angels whispering to two Servants of the Sick who were consoling a dying person. One day a sick man said to the Saint\, “Father\, may I beg you to make up my bed? it is very hard.” Camillus replied\, “God forgive you\, brother! You beg me! Don’t you know yet that you are to command me\, for I am your servant and slave.” “Would to God\,” he would cry\, “that in the hour of my death one sigh or one blessing of these poor creatures might fall upon me!” \nHis prayer was heard. He was granted the same consolations in his last hour which he had so often procured for others. In the year 1614 he died with the full use of his faculties\, after two weeks’ saintly preparation\, as the priest was reciting the words of the ritual\, “May Jesus Christ appear to thee with a mild and joyful countenance!” \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/saint-camillus-of-lellis-priest/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Saint of the Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/apostle_camillusdelellis.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170713 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170714 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170710T083702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170710T085657Z UID:1984-1499904000-1499990399@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:SAINT HENRY II\, the PIUS Emperor DESCRIPTION:Henry\, Duke of Bavaria\, saw in a vision his guardian\, St. Wolfgang\, pointing to the words “after six.” This moved him to prepare for death\, and for six years he continued to watch and pray\, when\, at the end of the sixth year\, he found the warning verified in his election as emperor. Thus trained in the fear of God\, he ascended the throne with but one thought-to reign for His greater glory. \nThe pagan Slavs were then despoiling the empire. Henry attacked them with a small force; but angels and Saints were seen leading his troops\, and the heathen fled in despair. Poland and Bohemia\, Moravia and Burgundy\, were in turn annexed to his kingdom\, Pannonia and Hungary won to the Church. With the Faith secured in Germany\, Henry passed into Italy\, drove out the Antipope Gregory\, brought Benedict VIII back to Rome\, and was crowned in St. Peter’s by that Pontiff\, in 1014. \nIt was Henry’s custom\, on arriving in any town\, to spend his first night in watching in some church dedicated to our blessed Lady. As he was thus praying in St. Mary Major’s\, the first night of his arrival in Rome\, he “saw the Sovereign and Eternal Priest Christ Jesus” enter to say Mass. Sts. Laurence and Vincent assisted as deacon and sub-deacon. Saints innumerable filled the church\, and angels sang in the choir. After the Gospel\, an angel was sent by Our Lady to give Henry the book to kiss. Touching him lightly on the thigh\, as the angel did to Jacob\, he said\, “Accept this sign of God’s love for your chastity and justice;” and from that time the emperor always was lame. \nLike holy David\, Henry employed the fruits of his conquests in the service of the temple. The forests and mines of the empire\, the best that his treasury could produce\, were consecrated to the sanctuary. Stately cathedrals\, noble monasteries\, churches innumerable\, enlightened and sanctified the once heathen lands. \nIn 1022 Henry lay on his bed of death. He gave back to her parents his wife\, St. Cunegunda\, “a virgin still\, as a virgin he had received her from Christ\,” and surrendered his own pure soul to God. \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/saint-henry-ii-the-pius-emperor/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Saint of the Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/apostle_kinghenry.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170712 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170713 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170710T083445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170710T085646Z UID:1981-1499817600-1499903999@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:ST. JOHN GUALBERT Abbot DESCRIPTION:St. John Gualbert was born at Florence\, A. D. 999. Following the profession of arms at that troubled period\, he became involved in a blood-feud with a near relative. One Good Friday\, as he was riding into Florence accompanied by armed men\, he encountered his enemy in a place where neither could avoid the other. John would have slain him; but his adversary\, who was totally unprepared to fight\, fell upon his knees with his arms stretched out in the form of a cross\, and implored him\, for the sake of Our Lord’s holy Passion\, to spare his life. St. John said to his enemy\, “I cannot refuse what you ask in Christ’s name. I grant you your life\, and I give you my friendship. Pray that God may forgive me my sin.” Grace triumphed. \nA humble and changed man\, he entered the Church of St. Miniato\, which was near; and whilst he prayed\, the figure of our crucified Lord\, before which he was kneeling\, bowed its head toward him as if to ratify his pardon. Abandoning the world\, he gave himself up to prayer and penance in the Benedictine Order. \nLater he was led to found the congregation called of Vallombrosa\, from the shady valley a few miles from Florence\, where he established his first monastery. Once the enemies of the Saint came to his convent of St. Salvi\, plundered it\, and set fire to it\, and having treated the monks with ignominy\, beat them and wounded them. St. John rejoiced. “Now\,” he said\, “you are true monks. Would that I myself had had the honor of being with you when the soldiers came\, that I might have had a share in the glory of your crowns! ” \nHe fought manfully against simony\, and in many ways promoted the interest of the Faith in Italy. After a life of great austerity\, he died whilst the angels were singing round his bed\, on July 11th\, 1073. \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/st-john-gualbert-abbot/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Saint of the Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/apostle_johngualbert.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170711 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170712 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170710T083245Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170710T085538Z UID:1978-1499731200-1499817599@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:SAINT BENEDICT Abbot DESCRIPTION:St. Benedict\, blessed by grace and in name\, was born of a noble Italian family about 480. When a boy he was sent to Rome\, and there placed in the public schools. Scared by the licentiousness of the Roman youth\, he fled to the desert mountains of Subiaco\, and was directed by the Holy Spirit into a cave\, deep\, craggy\, and almost inaccessible. He lived there for three years\, unknown to any one save the holy monk Romanus\, who clothed him with the monastic habit and brought him food. But the fame of his sanctity soon gathered disciples round him. The rigor of his rule\, however\, drew on him the hatred of some of the monks\, and one of them mixed poison with the abbot’s drink; but when the Saint made the sign of the cross on the poisoned bowl\, it broke and fell in pieces to the ground. \nAfter he had built twelve monasteries at Subiaco\, he removed to Monte Casino\, where he founded an abbey in which he wrote his rule and lived until death. By prayer he did all things: wrought miracles\, saw visions\, and prophesied. A peasant\, whose boy had just died\, ran in anguish to St. Benedict\, crying out\, “Give me back my son!” The monks joined the poor man in his entreaties; but the Saint replied\, “Such miracles are not for us to work\, but for the blessed apostles. Why will you lay upon me a burden which my weakness cannot bear? ” Moved at length by compassion he knelt down and\, prostrating himself upon the body of the child\, prayed earnestly. Then rising\, he cried out\, “Behold not\, O Lord\, my sins\, but the faith of this man\, who desires the life of his son\, and restore to the body that soul which you have taken away.” Hardly had he spoken when the child’s body began to tremble\, and taking it by the hand he restored it alive to its father. \nSix days before his death he ordered his grave to be opened\, and fell ill of a fever. On the sixth day he requested to be borne into the chapel\, and\, having received the body and blood of Christ\, with hands uplifted\, and leaning on one of his disciples\, he calmly expired in prayer on the 21st of March\, 547. \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/saint-benedict-abbot/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Saint of the Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/apostle_benedict.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170710 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170711 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170710T082943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170710T082943Z UID:1975-1499644800-1499731199@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:THE SEVEN HOLY BROTHERS & ST. FELICITAS DESCRIPTION:The illustrious martyrdom of these Saints happened at Rome\, under the Emperor Antoninus. The seven brothers were the sons of St. Felicitas\, a noble\, pious\, Christian widow in Rome\, who\, after the death of her husband\, served God in a state of continency and employed herself wholly in prayer\, fasting\, and works of charity. By the public and edifying example of this lady and her whole family many idolaters were moved to renounce the worship of their false gods\, and to embrace the Faith of Christ. \nThis excited the anger of the heathen priests\, who complained to the emperor that the boldness with which Felicitas publicly practised the Christian religion drew many from the worship of the immortal gods\, who were the guardians and protectors of the empire\, and that\, in order to appease these false gods\, it was necessary to compel this lady and her children to sacrifice to them. \nPublius\, the prefect of Rome\, caused the mother and her sons to be apprehended and brought before him\, and\, addressing her\, said\, “Take pity on your children\, Felicitas; they are in the bloom of youth\, and may aspire to the greatest honors and preferments.” The holy mother answered\, “Your pity is really impiety\, and the compassion to which you exhort me would make me the most cruel of mothers.” Then turning herself towards her children\, she said to them\, “My sons\, look up to heaven\, where Jesus Christ with his Saints expects you. Be faithful in his love\, and fight courageously for your souls.” \nPublius\, being exasperated at this behavior\, commanded her to be cruelly buffeted; he then called the children to him one after another\, and used many artful speeches\, mingling promises with threats to induce them to adore the gods. His arguments and threats were equally in vain\, and the brothers were condemned to be scourged. After being whipped\, they were remanded to prison\, and the prefect\, despairing to overcome their resolution\, laid the whole process before the emperor. Antoninus gave an order that they should be sent to different judges\, and be condemned to different deaths. \nJanuarius was scourged to death with whips loaded with plummets of lead. The two next\, Felix and Philip\, were beaten with clubs till they expired. Sylvanus\, the fourth\, was thrown headlong down a steep precipice. The three youngest\, Alexander\, Vitalis\, and Martialis\, were beheaded\, and the same sentence was executed upon the mother four months after. \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/the-seven-holy-brothers-st-felicitas/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Saint of the Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/apostle_santa_Felicita.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20170709T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20170709T190000 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170703T071953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170703T071954Z UID:1779-1499623200-1499626800@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:DEVOTION HEALING MASS DESCRIPTION:Spread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/devotion-healing-mass/ LOCATION:Shrine & Parish of Our Lady of Aranzazu\, Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu Gen.

In his homily\, Antipolo Bishop Francis De Leon says\, “Kaya po tayo narito sapagkat inaalala natin ang tanda na ibinigay noong matagal nang panahon (We are gathered here today to remember the sign that was given to us years ago).” \nBishop Francis pertains to a centuries-old story about a plague that killed hundreds of men and women in the towns of Antipolo\, Taytay\, and Cainta. During that time\, the parish priest of Antipolo wanted to lead a holy mass on top of the hill where the three towns can be viewed. He hoped that this Eucharistic Celebration could finally end the plague\, to which it did happen. Thus\, it is now called the “Pinagmisahan Hill.” \nIn addition\, Bishop Francis said that this yearly tradition is a sign of gratitude to God with the intercession of Mary\, Patroness of Antipolo\, for the gift of healing as a sign of His love to his children. \nFrom the opening\, a lot of activities were held\, such as Novena Masses\, pilgrimage to a number of churches\, visitation of the Image of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage to different places\, and historical processions. \n  \nCLOSING CELEBRATION \nAs part of the closing of the “Pilgrimage Season 2017\,” a re-enactment of the Canonical Coronation of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage will be held on July 4\, 2017. Although\, It has been cleared that the original date of her Canonical Coronation was on November 28\, 1926. \nMoreover\, both canonically crowned images of the Nuestra Señora De Aranzazu (Our Lady of Aranzazu) from San Mateo\, Rizal and the Nuestra Señora de Los Desamparados (Our Lady of the Abandoned) from Marikina City\, are also coming over for the celebration. \nMost. Rev.

Paul had not yet visited them at the time he wrote his great letter in A.D. 57-58. \nThere was a large Jewish population in Rome. Probably as a result of controversy between Jews and Jewish Christians\, the Emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Rome in A.D. 49-50. Suetonius the historian says that the expulsion was due to disturbances in the city “caused by the certain Chrestus” [Christ]. Perhaps many came back after Claudius’s death in A.D. 54. Paul’s letter was addressed to a church with members from Jewish and gentile backgrounds. \nIn July of A.D. 64\, more than half of Rome was destroyed by fire. Rumor blamed the tragedy on Nero\, who wanted to enlarge his palace. He shifted the blame by accusing the Christians. According to the historian Tacitus\, a “great multitude” of Christians were put to death because of their “hatred of the human race.” Peter and Paul were probably among the victims. \nThreatened by an army revolt and condemned to death by the senate\, Nero committed suicide in A.D. 68 at the age of thirty-one. \nWherever the Good News of Jesus was preached\, it met the same opposition as Jesus did\, and many of those who began to follow him shared his suffering and death. But no human force could stop the power of the Spirit unleashed upon the world. The blood of martyrs has always been\, and will always be\, the seed of Christians. \nSymbols: Red is the color for marytrs; red rose symbol of martyrdom; crown\, symbolizing victory over death and sin; white horse with a white banner and cross and sword; fire or flames; palm\, symbol of victory. \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/memorial-first-martyrs-of-the-church-of-rome/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Feast ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/the-first-christian-martyrs-of-rome.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170629 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170630 DTSTAMP:20260427T135406 CREATED:20170626T053156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170626T053156Z UID:1412-1498694400-1498780799@aranzazushrine.ph SUMMARY:SOLEMNITY: Sts PETER & PAUL\, APOSTLES DESCRIPTION:St. Peter\nPeter’s original name was Simon. Christ Himself gave him the name Cephas or Peter when they first met and later confirmed it. This name change was meant to show both Peter’s rank as leader of the apostles and the outstanding trait of his character — Peter (in Hebrew Kephas) the Rock. Peter was born in Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee. Like his younger brother Andrew\, he was a fisherman and dwelt at Capernaum. Peter’s house often became the scene of miracles\, since the Master would stay there whenever He was teaching in that locality. Together with his brothers John and Andrew\, Peter belonged to the first of Jesus’ disciples (John 1:40-50). \nAfter the ascension\, Peter always took the leading role\, exercising the office of chief shepherd that Christ had entrusted to him. He delivered the first sermon on Pentecost and received the first Gentiles into the Church (Cornelius; Acts 10:1). Paul went to Jerusalem “to see Peter.” After his miraculous deliverance from prison (Easter\, 42 A.D.)\, Peter “went to a different place\,” most probably to Rome. Details now become scanty; we hear of his presence at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:1)\, and of his journey to Antioch (Gal. 2:11). \nIt is certain that Peter labored in Rome as an apostle\, that he was the city’s first bishop\, and that he died there as a martyr\, bound to a cross (67 A.D.). According to tradition he also was the first bishop of Antioch. He is the author of two letters\, the first Christian encyclicals. His burial place is Christendom’s most famous shrine\, an edifice around whose dome are inscribed the words: Tu es Petrus\, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam. \nPatron: Against frenzy; bakers; bridge builders; butchers; clock makers; cobblers; Exeter College Oxford; feet problems; fever; fishermen; harvesters; locksmiths; longevity; masons; net makers; papacy; Popes; ship builders; shipwrights; shoemakers; stone masons; Universal Church; watch makers; Poznan\, Poland; Rome; Diocese of Jackson\, Mississippi; Diocese of Las Vegas\, Nevada; Diocese of Marquette\, Michigan; Archdiocese of Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania; Diocese of Providence\, Rhode Island; Diocese of Scranton\, Pennsylvania. \nSymbols: Two keys saltire; pastoral staff and two large keys; inverted cross; inverted cross and two keys saltire; crowing cock; fish; two swords; patriarchal cross and two keys saltire; two keys and a scroll; sword.\nOften portrayed as: Bald man\, often with a fringe of hair on the sides and a tuft on top; book; keys; man crucified head downwards; man holding a key or keys; man robed as a pope and bearing keys and a double-barred cross. \n___________________________________________ \nSt. Paul\nPaul\, known as Saul (his Roman name) before his conversion\, was born at Tarsus in the Roman province of Silicia about two or three years after the advent of the Redeemer. He was the son of Jewish parents who belonged to the tribe of Benjamin\, was reared according to the strict religious-nationalistic party of the Pharisees\, and enjoyed the high distinction of Roman citizenship. \nAfter receiving baptism and making some initial attempts at preaching\, Paul withdrew into the Arabian desert (c. 34-37 A.D.)\, where he prepared himself for his future mission. During this retreat he was favored with special revelations\, Christ appearing to him personally. Upon his return to Damascus he began to preach but was forced to leave when the Jews sought to kill him. Then he went to Jerusalem “to see Peter.” Barnabas introduced him to the Christian community\, but the hatred of the Jews again obliged him to take secret flight. The following years (38-42 A.D.) he spent at Tarsus until Barnabas brought him to the newly founded Christian community at Antioch\, where both worked a year for the cause of Christ; in the year 44 he made another journey to Jerusalem with the money collected for that famine stricken community. \nThe first major missionary journey (45-48) began upon his return as he and Barnabas brought the Gospel to Cyprus and Asia Minor (Acts 13-14). The Council of Jerusalem occasioned Paul’s reappearance in Jerusalem (50). Spurred on by the decisions of the Council\, he began the second missionary journey (51-53)\, traveling through Asia Minor and then crossing over to Europe and founding churches at Philippi\, Thessalonia (his favorite)\, Berea\, Athens\, Corinth. He remained almost two years at Corinth\, establishing a very flourishing and important community. In 54 he returned to Jerusalem for the fourth time. \nPaul’s third missionary journey (54-58) took him to Ephesus\, where he labored three years with good success; after visiting his European communities\, he returned to Jerusalem for a fifth time (Pentecost\, 58). There he was seized by the Jews and accused of condemning the Law. After being held as a prisoner for two years at Caesarea\, he appealed to Caesar and was sent by sea to Rome (60 A.D.). Shipwrecked and delayed on the island of Malta\, he arrived at Rome in the spring of 61 and passed the next two years in easy confinement before being released. The last years of the saint’s life were devoted to missionary excursions\, probably including Spain\, and to revisiting his first foundations. In 66 he returned to Rome\, was taken prisoner\, and beheaded a year later. His fourteen letters are a precious legacy; they afford a deep insight into a great soul. \nPatron: Against snakes; authors; Cursillo movement; evangelists; hailstorms; hospital public relations; journalists; lay people; missionary bishops; musicians; poisonous snakes; public relations personnel; public relations work; publishers; reporters; rope braiders; rope makers; saddlemakers; saddlers; snake bites; tent makers; writers; Malta; Rome; Poznan\, Poland; newspaper editorial staff\, Archdiocese of Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania; Diocese of Covington\, Kentucky; Diocese of Birmingham\, Alabama; Diocese of Las Vegas\, Nevada; Diocese of Providence\, Rhode Island; Diocese of Worcester\, Massachusetts. \nSymbols: Book and sword\, three fountains; two swords; scourge; serpent and a fire; armour of God; twelve scrolls with names of his Epistles; Phoenix; palm tree; shield of faith; sword; book.\nOften portrayed as: Thin-faced elderly man with a high forehead\, receding hairline and long pointed beard; man holding a sword and a book; man with 3 springs of water nearby; \nSpread Good NewsTweet\n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr URL:https://aranzazushrine.ph/index.php/event/solemnity-sts-peter-paul-apostles/ LOCATION:Philippines\, Luneta Park\, Manila\, Philippines CATEGORIES:Solemnity ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aranzazushrine.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/stpeterpaul.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
