THE LORD’S MESSENGERS
Since the time of Adam, God has spoken to His saints and
1 prophets by means of visions, dreams,
and inner voices. Miraculous events are common occurrences in the worlds of the Old and New Testaments and the lives of the saints are especially marked by this divine favor. God’s request that His servants go on pilgrimage is first mentioned in Genesis when Abraham left for Canaan. Jacob received a similar request and the Jewish people’s exodus from Egypt was another example. After Solomon, the Israelites were required to make a journey to the sanctuary at least once a year. Fulfilling the law, the Holy Family made this annual journey as well. Their pilgrimage is recalled in Luke 2:41-47 when Jesus was discovered missing during the Passover trip to Jerusalem.
But in our own time, the Eternal Father seems to be calling upon ordinary people. The last century, in particular, was rich in numerous appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary; and Jesus Himself is said to have spoken to a few of the seers. The Lord’s messages remind us that Jesus has been offended by humanity’s sin against His Sacred Heart. His Blessed Mother, Mary calls humanity to prayer, repentance, conversion, peace, and a renewed devotion to the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession. Our Lady’s messages implore a return to her Son as she lovingly reminds us of the endless mercy and love which are available to all.
Walking with Jesus thru the essence of one’s heart.
Just went on a pilgrimage trip to the Holy Land during the first week of September. It was a life changing experience. There were many times of when I personally experienced God’s presence in our journey, which was different and unexplainable as we follow the footstep of Jesus through the Bible.
I went to this trip from the invitation of a friend named Maria.
She has been in this pilgrimage many years. I could certainly see her view when she told us this was something different and spiritual. Our Priest, Father George Palamattathil agreed as well.
Father George
Often times I asked myself, “am I a tourist or a pilgrim longing to be with Him?… Moments in the Promise land?…. who am I … where am I going….in relations to our God? Now I ponder on many questions. Questions asked and answered from the sincerity of one’s heart to give and share with others. You and I are His hands, His feet…we are His body….the body of Christ! This is a grace you and I have the opportunity to give… for the glory and honor of God….graces in action…. remember we were all called to live in His image and likeness!
There are many things that had happened that until now has amazed me. It is definitely worth sharing it to all of you. Please be with me in reflecting any message the Lord might want to convey to all of us.

Dear pilgrims , Many aspects of our lives change…. In Christ we become…..
2. HEART at the Dialysis center in Israel.
Maria has her own experience with the heart and this is her story…
“I had to go for dialysis. A young male nurse hooked me up to the machine. However, blood was accidentally spilled on my shirt, seeping through my concealed garment. I went home and thought nothing about it. I thought it was part of the design, but low and behold…. the blood turned into the shape of a heart….”
A heart full of love….that He
will always be there….. turn around and you will find Him there…..
From the message of Marichu our co pilgrim to Maria.

Church of Holy Sepulchre a heart shape lamp light
From Wikepedia;
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre[b] (Arabic: كَنِيسَةُ ٱلْقِيَامَة Kaneesatu al-Qeyaamah; Greek: Ναός της Αναστάσεως Naos tes Anastaseos; Armenian: Սուրբ Հարության տաճար Surb Harut’yan tač̣ar; Latin: Ecclesia Sancti Sepulchri;[c] also called the Church of the Resurrection or Church of the Anastasis by Orthodox Christians) is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, a few steps away from the Muristan. The church contains, according to traditions dating back to at least the fourth century, the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified,[1] at a place known as “Calvary” or “Golgotha”, and Jesus’s empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected.[2] The tomb is enclosed by the 18th-century shrine, called the Aedicule (Edicule). The Status Quo, a 250-year old understanding between religious communities, applies to the site.[3][4]
Within the church proper are the last four (or, by some definitions, five) Stations of the Via Dolorosa, representing the final episodes of Jesus’ Passion.
Picture of my wife Carol holding a candle forming like a heart.
During the last Mass that we had, the final song was And will raise you up on the last day. It was to my surprise, I saw this photo frame of Mother Mary and Jesus being carried.
As we journey thru life…many events happened…We scatter seeds, plant them and help them grow….to become the best we can ever be….with God on our side and center of our lives, marriage and profession…. and seek His “Shekinah” glory!!
All praise and glory to God!
In my little ways,
Maria bongco
Dear John
As we reached the top of the Holy Mountain….
I saw the burst of sunlight… shown to all pilgrims was the image of the “Star of David” so sacred to many… the Jews,, Muslims, and even the gentiles…. a star that follows the virtue of humility and sincerity of the he
art ”
Now this is the burst of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
What is this? One may ask? “This is the burst of the sun . The first sunrise
Seen at the peak of Mount Sinai mountains …..the magestic glory of His glory….
In the middle of the Sun, there is an image of a young angel with outstretched arm…beckoning a new beginning….a new life….
Giving glory to God!!.
A wonlder !….forever!
“Holy Transfiguration Monestary”
The stone where Jesus stood during His transfiguration….
As you look closer at the stone u will see an image of a face , His face looking up to the high heavens… far to your left u will see a luminous image of our heavenly lady….
Where Jesus is ….there is His mother…
Transfiguration of our lives….our souls….
With our lady who has helped us …..thru and thru
A sea so inviting! The waves became the fusion of two hearts….
To God be the glory
A walk so close to God…
Praying for all pilgrimages
For our eyes to see…
And ears to hear…
As we journey to grace His moment in time…..
As He call us….He sees everything…..He is with you and you in Him

Remembering Papa. Man of heart.
It’s my father 30th death anniversary February 14, 1986 when my Papa left this world, he had a colon cancer and survived, but did not make it when he had an heart attack. It’s a real killer. A day would not be enough to write about my father. He was my inspiration. A nationalist, a simple man, a man of honor, with dignity and humility. A man with a big heart, full of love to his family, friends and relatives, a cheerful giver.
Life is short, we don’t know where it ends. If there is some lesson I learned about life (aside from having a healthy living and believing that Health is wealth), it is about opening our hearts to love one another. Fill it with Love and share it to others. It is my prayer that our hearts be healed so we could experience Pure love, along with a forgiving heart and a heart of Jesus. Without Jesus in our hearts, there will always be emptiness. Although we may have all the wealth in life, we cannot truly achieve peace or sign of true happiness. As what my father said, “Always Love your Mom and your siblings.” That is the same message to all. LOVE not only today but everyday! Also, Happy Valentine’s Day! Hugs and kisses to all. I AM VERY BLESSED TO HAVE ALL OF YOU IN MY LIFE. Proud of you Papa. Engineer Wilfrido Sebastian AtilAno.

Life of light
As I work among patients it makes me reflect about life. Each one has its own unique personality, mindset, outlook and preferences. Each of them has their own stories. Have you think about the story of your life as it unfolds everyday. Is there any changes, meaning and substance.
Come to think about your life. Was it a choice or was it a circumstance that allowed you to be there, a reason for being. Living a life to the fullest means to be a light to others. To Serve, to love, to share. Coloring your world with a helping hand. In my work I learned to realized that in any minute one life could end and life story ends at the same time. I acknowledge that there is an end to everything but life goes on. might not be there in the end but I know there will be somebody that will continue what you shared in life. A legacy that people will remember. Your smile, your generosity, your love, and the other you. Your being you. Reflecting, Did we do good on our part as a father, a mother, a student a doctor, a priest, a driver, a messenger a neighbor or in any role. then be happy about it. Life is short, make the best of everything. Come to think of this. I am contended with my life I need no millions to be happy. I am happy because I made people happy. Family is our life. We should build it with love. True Family does not only confined in our house it extends to our church, our workplace and community. It’s our foundation. Circumstances brings you to where you are. There is always a reason for everything. It just up to you to give your best to change this reality in life. a better you. A light of the world for others. With Hope, love and peace. It starts with a small step with God as our guide. Without God we are nothing. Let God be our light to be a light for others
