Hamoy, had a great time from start to finish of the two-day celebration which was held at SM City, General Santos City.
The theme adopted this year, Change the Face of Business with Honesty, Integrity and Excellence, challenged all members present to live up to this call as BCBP journey onward to Christianize the marketplace.
The spirit-filled Friday as-sembly led to a beautiful ex-perience of being prayed over by a brother or a sister they just met at the anniver-sary but the prayers and con-cern were overflowing.
Wearing colorful T-shirts for Saturdays breakfast fellow-ship, the delegates had a more beautiful morning listen-ing to the sharing of Fr. Herb Schneider, Judge Gilbert Moises and Governor Albert Uy of Zamboanga del Norte.

Saturday afternoons formal dinner was a sight with the more than two thousand dele-gates from all over the country dressed in shades of black and white. The fellowship was a great celebration of thanksgiv-ing for the 34 years with the Lord. What with the fitting feast promised by CH Danny plus all the sashimis?
Mactan delegates extended their stay to celebrate Kuya Cords (Marcelino Cordova) birthday at Glan, South Cota-bato. They spent Sunday at the beautiful Coco beach with its white sands and of course an-other feast of the best of Cota-bato.
So Magandang GenSan! The anniversary activities plus the beautiful sights to behold and exotic food to feast are among the many unforgettable mo-ments Mactan delegates will treasure.

The Way of the Cross
Chapter Observes Holy Week
The chapter prepared for a holy observance of the Holy Week with a Rec-ollection in the afternoon of April 12, 2014 at IAU chapel.
Fr. Rudy Bugna, OSA, gave a beautiful and very refreshing talk on how super ego differs from conscience. A Holy Mass was cele-brated after the recollection after which the Way of the Cross followed. The after-noon activity ended with a dinner fellowship at the same venue.
On Good Friday, some members of the chapter were seen early at SHJ Parish, Pajac for the tradi-tional Sto. Entiero carro decoration.
The group headed by the Aballe couple, had been doing this beautiful act of service for years. This time the group completed the task before noon just in
time for lunch and rest be-fore returning back to church for the afternoons veneration of the Cross.

The topic tackled was so broad that the group de-cided to focus on Consola-cion local government as pilot case.

als in government who can be consulted or sought when help is needed. Casi Nadela presiding

God is the best listener, you don't need to shout nor cry out loud because He hears even the very
silent prayer of a sincere heart
Formation of Super Ego or Conscience Teaching
Fr. Rodolfo A. Bugna, OSA
Super-Ego Conscience
Commands us to act for the sake of gaining approval, or out of fear of losing love.
Responds to an invitation to love
Turned in toward self in order to se-
cure ones sense of being of value, of being lovable.
Fundamental openness that is ori-
ented toward the other and toward the value which calls for action.
Tends to be static by merely repeat-ing a prior command.
Tends to be dynamic by a sensitivity to the demand of values which call for new ways of responding.
Oriented primarily toward authority Oriented primarily toward value
Primary attention is given to individ-ual acts as being important in them-selves apart from the larger context or pattern of actions.
Primary attention is to the larger proc-ess or pattern. Individual acts become important within this larger context.
Oriented toward the past: The way we were.
Oriented toward the future: The sort of person one ought to become.
Punishment is the sure guarantee of reconciliation.
Reparation comes through structuring the future orientation toward the value in question.
The transition from guilt to self- re-newal comes fairly easily and rapidly by means of confessing to the author-ity.
Self-renewal is a gradual process of growth which characterizes all dimen-sions of personal development.
Often finds a great disproportion between feeling of guilt experienced and the value at stake,
Experience of guilt is proportionate to the degree of knowledge and free-dom as well as the weight of the value at stake,

Life provides us with many options, go on or give up, hold on or let go, stay or leave, but its com-
forting to know that God remains faithful forever.
He saw and he believed
John 20:8
In one of the resurrection narratives, we heard the story about how Mary Magdalene ran and told the apostles what she saw at the tomb that early morning. How she saw the stone covering the tomb already opened and on looking inside saw two angels with the burial clothes folded and neatly placed in two places. We were told that Peter and one of the apostles presumably
John, ran to the grave, John being younger arrived first but did not go in, when Peter arrived, he went it straight. When John eventually did, he saw and he believed.
What did he believed in from what he saw? An empty tomb, with the burial clothes neatly folded and placed apart. If someone stole the body of Jesus for whatever reasons as the Jewish leaders in those days made us to believe, the person would not fold the burial clothes, but would have carried the dead body with the linens, secondly the only group to gain in Jesus body being stolen was his followers and John knew they did not. So these two facts must have led him to believe that only Jesus himself on resurrecting folded the burial clothes and walked away from the tomb on his own.
There and then John came to that conclusion, he rose as he told them and that made him to start thinking of all that Jesus told them as true. He came to believe that Jesus is the son of the Father that came from God, that his birth had nothing to do with human conception, that his miracles were not magic and that the spirit of God lived in him. Surprisingly not the physical Jesus that led him to accept these facts, but rather his absence in the grave.
Jesus absence was no longer an obstacle but a confirmation of all that He is and did. Repeat-edly He explained to them the importance of the messiah suffering and dying and on the third day will rise again; at that instant while staring at the empty tomb, John made that decision to give himself completely to the mission of Jesus, now Christ. No wonder he gave the world one of the most important narratives of who Jesus is and why He came to the world.
He believed that Jesus was the great light that came to transform the world from darkness, through the process of incarnation became man in order to defeat sin in His body and achieved the resurrection. He believed in the message of the kingdom of God that was already estab-lished by Christ, but still yet to be worked for through our following the teachings of Jesus. He believed that Jesus was the messiah, the great prophet of God, the healer of humanity and the great Shepherd that gave His life for His sheep.
John the youngest of all the apostles did not hesitate to give his entire life in serving the com-munity of believers, leading them in the like manner of the chief Shepherd until his death at a very ripe age. Like St. John let us embrace the empty tomb and make sense of who we are and its implication for us. This will help us also to give our entire life in serving our brothers and sis-ters and faithfully without compromising following Jesus here on earth in order to rise and reign with him in his heavenly kingdom.

they discovered that there was a tumor in my large intestine and was diag-nosed as colon cancer... It was really hard to accept the findings and if not for my faith in God and being with BCBP where I learned to entrust every-thing to the Lord.
No one is rich enough to buy back yesterday. But if you have the courage to do better things today,
you would be the richest one tomorrow .

It was only in the BCMR that I realize my lapses. Our live-in arrangement
was displeasing to God and I did not correct my mistake. God gave me
another chance.
