Pope Francis, the 266th
Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, will have a four-day visit to the
Philippines on January 15-19, 2015. This will be the third time that a Pope
will be visiting the Philippines. The first two visits were during the time of
St. John Paul II as the Pope and Pope Pius VI.
It will be a glorious day to
commemorate and celebrate. It will be also a stepping-stone for the preparation
for the celebration of the 500 years of Christianity of the Philippines. It is
then but proper that Catholics in the Philippines should prepare themselves not
only physically for the said event but also internally. On the succeeding days,
weeks, and months, let us then try to reflect on the Catholic Faith, which I
have divided on to the following topics:
God:
Father
Son: God and
Man
Holy Spirit
Creation
Church:
One
Holy
Catholic
Apostolic
Authority:
Bible
Tradition
Creed
Salvation
Grace
Sacraments:
Baptism
Confirmation
Eucharist
Penance
Marriage
Holy Orders
Anointing of
the Sick
Sin
Virtues
Theological
Virtues
Cardinal
Virtues
Virgin Mary
Prayer
Personages
Apostles
Saints
Pope
Cardinals
Bishops
Priests
Lay people
Join me on trying to strength the
Catholic Faith in the Philippines on the said topics. I would not dealt much on
the theological aspect of the topics but connecting them more on the daily life
of a Filipino Catholic.
