Back details of the chasuble. (PHOTO<\/strong>: Aldrin Llagas<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n The unusual style and classic design of Fr. Bembol\u2019s liturgical vestment which consists of several symbols are noticeable. The Chasuble set was commissioned by the members of the Shrine Ministry and the Parish Pastoral Council Executive committee as their gift to Fr. Bembol.<\/p>\n The vestment takes the concept of showing the glory and splendour of the Lord, in which the priest becomes “in persona Christi<\/em>” during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.<\/p>\n The blue accents reminds us of the Blessed Mother, our intercessor – highlighting also that the Shrine and Parish is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Aranzazu, patroness of the whole town of San Mateo.<\/p>\n The design incorporated motifs used in the Canonical Crown of Our Lady of Aranzazu. It highlighted the Blessed Virgin Mary as the most beautiful rose in the garden of God, her virtues, and her relationship to each person of the Blessed Trinity.<\/p>\n The image of Our Lady of Aranzazu in the front is a reminder that the Blessed Virgin is our Mother, Queen, and Patroness – leading us all to her Son which she carries. The Parish logo is attached at the back – highlighting Fr. Bembol’s role as Parish Priest and Rector.<\/p>\n The newly installed Parish priest pays homage to the patroness of San Mateo.

It was made by the GAVDE Ecclesiastical Articles<\/em>, owned by Dave Axallan, which offers various religious items including personalized religious pendants, shirts, and necklaces. GAVDE Ecclesiastical Articles<\/em> advocates in sharing the joy found in the Lord and His saints through different beautiful religious items.<\/p>\n The significant symbolism on the liturgical vestment of Fr. Bembol can be very beneficial. It will remind him and his people, the real spirit and core of serving the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Aranzazu, the center of faith and Marian devotion of San Mateo, Rizal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”off” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” prev_text=”PREVIOUS ARTICLE” next_text=”NEXT ARTICLE” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” show_prev=”on” show_next=”on” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” global_module=”31793″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_team_member admin_label=”Christian Robles” global_parent=”31793″ name=”Christian Jasper Robles” position=”Senior Writer, Website Team – Media Ministry” image_url=”http:\/\/aranzazushrine.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/profile-robles2.jpg” background_layout=”light” facebook_url=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/christian.guardianorobles” twitter_url=”twitter.com\/christianjaspy ” header_font=”|on|||” header_font_size=”14″ body_font=”||on||” body_font_size=”12″ background_color=”#f2f2f2″ use_border_color=”off” custom_css_member_image=”padding-top: 30px;||padding-left: 10px;||padding-right: 10px;||padding-bottom: 20px;” custom_css_member_description=”padding-top: 20px;” body_text_color=”#000000″ border_color_all=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”3.0.106″]\n Christian is a graduate of Bachelor of Arts in Communication at Colegio de San Juan de Letran.
