MANILA,\u00a0Philippines<\/strong> \u2013 The vicaria image of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Aranzazu became the main highlight of the opening institutional mass and procession of Letran\u2019s Colegio week, in connection to the 400th founding anniversary of Letran in 2020, held at the Manila Metropolitan Cathedral last December 17.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of students and faculty members attended the morning procession of Our Lady, from Letran to Manila Cathedral. The Dominican fathers also accompanied the image together with the Letran Filipiniana Dance Company<\/em>, while dancing the traditional Pamimintuho sa Birhen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It was followed by a Eucharistic Celebration in honor of Our Lady of Aranzazu. This is also to celebrate the feast day of Aranzazu in Letran (though the actual feast is every December 16). Our Lady\u2019s image was enthroned at the front side of the altar, while wearing her Episcopal Coronation vestment with the red and blue sash representing the Letran colors, attached with Letran insignia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For many centuries, the Colegio has special and profound devotion to Our Lady of Aranzazu when the Archconfraternity dedicated to the said title was established on December 16, 1772, by virtue of a Pontifical brief, issued by Pope Benedict XIV on September 18, 1748, but died down during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

The mass was presided by the Rector and President of the Colegio, Fr. Clarence Marquez O.P., and concelebrated with other Dominican priests and the Parochial Vicar of Aranzazu Shrine, Fr. JD Guillermo. The officers and members of Cofradia de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Aranzazu were also present in the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In his homily, Fr. Marquez explained the etymology of the word \u201cAranzazu\u201d and elaborated the lesson of Aranzazu devotion:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Ganun din ang aral ng Birhen ng Aranzazu. Ang \u2018Aranzazu\u2019 ay hango sa wikang Basco, hindi kastila. Ito ay patuloy na sinasalita sa hilagang Espanya o Northern Spain. Ang ibig sabihin ng \u2018Aranzazu\u2019 ay \u2018Ikaw na nasa mga tinikan\u2019. Si Maria na nasa gitna ng mga pasakit at hirap ng mundo. Si Maria, nagsusumikap. si Maria, sugatan. Si Maria, inuusig. Si Maria, katulad natin, taong tao<\/em>\u2026\u201d Fr. Marquez said.<\/p>\n

In the present day, several Aranzazu devotees in Letran are planning to revive the Archconfraternity of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Aranzazu for the propagation of devotion, through the initiative of the Rector and President Fr. Clarence Marquez O.P., Vice President of Religious affairs Fr. John Stephen Besa O.P., Mr. Jerome Cruz of Financial Affairs, and other students and alumnus.<\/p>\n
