JOVE REX AL: JULY 23, 2010- FRIDAY

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

PRAYER, WORSHIP, THANKS, AND PRAISE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS.

BLESSINGS BE UPON THE PEOPLE WHO HELP US IN THE MISSIONARY WORKS:

O DEUS YHWH EL SHADDAI EL ELYON ADONAI, BENEDICTUS OMNIBUS HOMO ADJUVA LABORE IN SACRA VERBO TUO, ET IN LABORE ADJUVA PAUPERUM, BENEDICTUS SANCTUS ES SANCTA ET MISERERE NOBIS.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE GOODS GIVEN FOR A MISSIONER TO CONTINUE TODAY'S MISSION...

WENT TO MANILA TO DO OUTREACH TO THE POOR.

WENT TO A FRIEND IN MANILA.

ARRIVING AT MY FRIEND'S PLACE, HAVE SOME SHARING REGARDING MYSTICAL MATTERS.

THEN WENT ON MY WAY TO CONTINUE WITH THE MISSIONS.

COLLECTED CERTAIN MATERIALS FOR MYSTICAL PURPOSES.

WHILE COLLECTING MATERIALS AROUND MANILA AREA, DID A PRAYER OF CLEANSING SO THAT THE NEGATIVITY IN THE AREAS AROUND MANILA BE LESSENED.

ALSO PLACED SOME SCALAR DEVICES AT CERTAIN PLACES, TO HELP IN DEALING WITH ENERGY POLLUTION.

AS I GATHER MATERIALS AROUND MANILA, I SAW THIS POOR WOMAN WHO SEEMS TO BE AT A LOSS, WHOSE FACE HAS THE MARK OF LONELINESS AND HELPLESSNESS.

LOOKING AT HER HEART, AND FELT THAT SHE NEEDS HELP, GAVE HER SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

GOING AT THE VICINITY NEAR PGH, SAW A MOTHER WITH A CHILD WHO IS BEGGING FOR ALMS.

GAVE HER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP HER SURVIVE THIS DAY.

THEN BOARDED LRT GOING TO BACLARAN AREA.

AT BACLARAN, CONTINUED THE OUTREACH.

A GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDCHILD BELONGING TO THE BADJAO TRIBE ASKED FOR ALMS. GAVE HER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

AN OLD BADJAO WOMAN ASKED FOR ALMS.

GAVE HER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVE TODAY.

AFTER THIS, WENT TO THE GROUNDS OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP, BACLARAN

AT THIS PLACE, I ASKED FOR SOME HOLY WATER, TO BE USED FOR SPIRITUAL PURPOSES.

PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE SHRINE.

THEN WENT TO ANOTHER AREA OF THE SHRINE

AN OLD LADY AT THE BACK OF THE SHRINE ASKS FOR ALMS.

GAVE HER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVE TODAY.

WENT OUTSIDE THE SHRINE, TO SEARCH FOR THE POOR IN THAT AREA.

AN ELDERLY WOMAN ASKS FOR ALMS AT THIS AREA.

GAVE HER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVE THIS DAY.

ANOTHER ELDERLY WOMAN ASKS FOR ALMS. GAVE HER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVE TODAY.

SAW A POOR WOMAN WITH HER CHILD. CALLED HER TO GIVE MONEY TO HELP HER AND HER CHILD SURVIVE TODAY.

AFTER GIVING ASSISTANCE TO THE POOR AROUND THE SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP BACLARAN, WENT TO ANOTHER MISSION POINT.

ALONG THE WAY, FIND A LARGE GOLDEN LEAF AT THE CHURCH GROUNDS.

OBTAINED SOME PARTS OF THIS LEAF AS INGREDIENT FOR MYSTICAL PURPOSES.

WENT TO ANOTHER MISSION POINT, TO CONTINUE OUTREACH.

SAW A STRANGE BIRD- BEING SOLD AT P350 A PAIR

I AM FEELING PITY FOR THIS BIRD AND WOULD WANT TO PURCHASE IT, BUT AFTER CONSULTING THE OWNERS OF THE HOUSE I AM LIVING AT PRESENT, SUCH BIRD IS NOT WELCOME AT THE PREMISES.

GAVE ALMS TO SOME STREET CHILDREN.

BOUGHT FOOD FOR THE POOR, ESPECIALLY THE STREET CHILDREN.

AS I PAYED FOR THE FOOD TO BE DISTRIBUTED FOR THE POOR, SOMEONE CALLED ME- TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUAL TOPICS.

CONTINUED TO TALK WITH HIM AS I ARRANGE THE FOOD I HAVE PURCHASED FOR THE POOR AND THE NEEDY. IT IS HARD TO HOLD THE PHONE AT ONE HAND WHILE I ARRANGE THE FOOD TO BE DISTRIBUTED WITH ANOTHER HAND.

CONTINUED TO TALK WITH THAT PERSON EVEN WHEN I AM ABOUT TO DISTRIBUTE FOOD FOR THE STREET CHILDREN.

BEFORE DISTRIBUTING FOOD FOR THE STREET CHILDREN, I ASKED THE PERSON I AM TALKING TO THAT I HAVE TO STOP TALKING WITH HIM.

I CANNOT HOLD THE PHONE, THE BAG OF FOOD, THE CAMERA, AND AT THE SAME TIME DISTRIBUTE THE FOOD FOR THE POOR AT THE SAME TIME. THAT IS WHY I HAVE TO STOP TALKING OVER THE PHONE WHILE ON MISSIONS...

DISTRIBUTED THE FOOD TO THE POOR. MAJORITY OF THE RECIPIENT OF THE FOOD ARE STREET CHILDREN.

THE FOOD GIVEN TO THEM ARE FROM THE FOOD PURCHASED FROM THE HELP AND ASSISTANCE OF PEOPLE WHO CARE TO SUPPORT OUR MISSIONARY WORKS.

THERE ARE MANY STREET CHILDREN WHO BENEFITED AT THIS ACTIVITIES.

MANY OF THESE POOR CHILDREN SKIP THEIR MEALS.

MANY OF THEM DEPEND ON THE FOOD GIVEN THEM.

I SEE A NUMBER OF THESE CHILDREN EATING LEFT OVERS FROM CERTAIN EATERY AND FOOD OUTLETS.

I HAVE SEEN AN INSTANCE THAT SOME OF THEM ATE FROM A GARBAGE CAN.

WHEN THE REGULAR FEEDING OF FOOD FOR THE POOR AND THE STREET CHILDREN WAS DONE, I DID NOT SEE THESE CHILDREN EATING FROM THE GARBAGE AGAIN.

IF A PERSON IS DESPERATELY HUNGRY, HE/SHE WILL BE FORCED TO EAT GARBAGE JUST TO SURVIVE.

IF YOU HAVE A HEART, YOU WILL FEEL PITY AND SORROW FOR THESE CHILDREN..

AS WE EAT OUR MEALS EVERYDAY, PLEASE DO REMEMBER THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

THEY ARE NOT AS LUCKY AS YOU. JUST BEING ABLE TO EAT THREE TIMES DAILY IS ALREADY A BLESSING TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WASTE MANY THINGS IN THEIR LIFE. IF WE REMEMBER THE POOR AND THE NEEDY EVERY TIME WE RECEIVE BLESSINGS IN LIFE, WE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE WASTING ANYTHING.

THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST EVERYDAY, WHILE THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO HOARD FOOD, AND PREFER THAT THESE FOOD PERISH RATHER THAN SHARE IT WITH THE POOR AND THE NEEDY. SUCH IS GRAVE INJUSTICE TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SHARE FOOD TO THE POOR BUT THE FOOD THEY SHARE IS NEAR SPOILAGE, OR/AND AT TIMES, ALREADY SPOILED. CAN YOU EAT THE FOOD YOU ARE GIVING TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY?

IT IS THE GOLDEN RULE: TREAT OTHERS AS WE WANT US TO BE TREATED.

IF WE SHARE FOOD TO THE POOR, DO IT FOR GOD, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND FELLOWMEN.

IF WE TRULY BELIEVE IN GOD WHO IS GOOD, AND WHO IS THE EMBODIMENT OF LOVE AND MERCY, WE WHO BELIEVE, MUST ALSO LOVE, AND BE MERCIFUL TO THE LESSER PRIVILEGED IN SOCIETY.

IF WE HAVE FAITH IN GOD, WE HAVE TO ACT ON OUR FAITH...

WORDS ARE EMPTY WITHOUT THE ACTIONS ACCOMPANYING THESE WORDS...

IF WE TRULY BELIEVE IN GOD, LET US SHOW MERCY AND LOVE TO OUR FELLOWMEN, ESPECIALLY THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

LET US WALK OUR FAITH IN GOD... LET OUR ACTIONS SPEAK MORE THAN OUR WORDS.

GOD ASKS FOR US TO BE MERCIFUL TOWARDS THE LESS PRIVILEGED ONES IN SOCIETY.

IF WE HOARD RESOURCES FOR OURSELVES AND NOT SHARE IT WITH THE POOR, WE ARE VIOLATING GOD'S WILL... SUCH ACTS WILL CAUSE MORE HUNGER... SUCH ACTIONS CREATE MORE POOR AND NEEDY IN SOCIETY...

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY: "WHY WILL WE SHARE OUR MONEY WITH THE POOR? WE WORKED HARD FOR OUR MONEY?"- WHOM DO WE OWE OUR LIFE TO? WE ALL OWE MANY THINGS TO GOD... WE OWE GOD A LARGE DEBT... SO LARGE WE CANNOT POSSIBLY PAY FOR IT...

WHAT GOD ASKS FOR US IS THAT WHEN WE ARE BLESSED, WE SHARE OUR BLESSINGS TO OTHERS, ESPECIALLY THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

IF WE OWE MUCH TO GOD, AND WE ARE ASKED BY GOD TO SHARE OUR BLESSINGS TO THE POOR, WHY MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT SHARE THEIR BLESSINGS TO THE POOR?

THE ANSWER IS: THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SELFISH, ARROGANT, AND UNCONCERNED.

MANY DO NOT CARE FOR THE POOR AND DO NOT HELP THEM.

WHAT DID GOD DO TO THE CITY WHICH IS GUILTY OF SUCH?

GOD DESTROYED THAT CITY, WHEN THE PEOPLE IN THAT CITY HAS LESS THAN TEN PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWS GOD'S WILL... THAT CITY IS SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

WE SEE MANY DISASTERS, MANY CALAMITIES, MANY PROBLEMS ARISING AT DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD.

DO NOT BE AMAZED OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING AT THIS TIME.

THESE THINGS ARE THE RESULT OF THE EVIL THAT MEN DO UPON THIS WORLD.

AS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO EVIL AMONG THEIR FELLOWMEN, THE EARTH IS CURSED FURTHER BECAUSE OF THIS... EVERY EVIL WE DO AFFECTS THE WORLD IN A LESSER OR GREATER EXTENT...

IF WE CONTINUE TO DO EVIL, AND IGNORE THE CRIES OF THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, GOD WILL CONTINUE TO PUNISH THIS WORLD WITH DISASTERS, CALAMITIES, AND THE LIKE AT GREATER PROPORTIONS THAN BEFORE...

AS THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO DO GOD'S WILL, AND SHARE THEIR BLESSINGS WITH THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, GOD WILL HAVE A REASON NOT TO DESTROY THIS WORLD.

AS WE DO WHAT IS GOOD, WHAT IS RIGHTEOUS, AND WHAT IS JUST IN GOD'S STANDARDS, WE BECAME INSTRUMENTS OF LIGHT, WHICH HEAL THE WORLD IN A LESSER OR GREATER DEGREE.

SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS, MERCY AND CHARITY IN THE LONG RUN CAN DO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD...

MAY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE EVIL REPENT FROM THEIR EVIL DEEDS AND DO WHAT IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE HUMANKIND....

MAY THE GREEDY PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD REALIZE THAT THEIR GREED IS CAUSING MUCH HARM TO OTHERS AND THIS WORLD. MAY THE GREEDY PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD REPENT FROM THEIR EVIL DEEDS, AND LEARN TO SHARE THEIR RESOURCES TO OTHERS, WITHOUT THE DECEPTION AND EVIL THAT THEY ATTACH TO THEIR ACTIONS, WORDS, AND DEEDS.

MAY PEOPLE WHO HAVE MUCH SHARE TO OTHERS WHAT GOD HAS ENTRUSTED THEM.

LIFE IS TEMPORARY. ALL MATERIAL WEALTH IS USELESS WHEN DEATH APPROACHES AND TAKES ONE'S LIFE.

WHAT IS THE USE OF GAINING EVERYTHING, BUT IN THE END, YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL? NO AMOUNT OF MATERIAL WEALTH CAN PAY FOR THE SALVATION OF ONE'S SOUL.

YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE... ONCE YOU LOSE IT, IT WILL BE THE END... WHAT IS THE USE OF LIVING ONE'S LIFE WHEN IN THE END YOU LOSE YOUR OWN SELF? ONE'S LIFE WOULD ONLY HAVE MEANING IF ONE BECOMES A CONTRIBUTOR FOR MANKIND- FOR THE BETTER...

TO FEED THE HUNGRY, CLOTHE THE NAKED, HEAL THE SICK, HELP THE NEEDY, GIVING ALMS TO THE POOR, HELP A GOOD CAUSE, LIVING BY SHARING, AND EXPRESSING LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOR THROUGH ACTIONS- THESE AND MORE ARE THE VIRTUES THAT CAN GAIN ONE'S OWN SOUL... BY DOING THESE VIRTUES, ONE PUTS FAITH INTO ACTIONS, AND EXPRESS THE LIGHT OF GOD IN OUR HEARTS.

WE CAN DO OUR PART IN SPREADING THE LIGHT OF GOD IN THIS WORLD.

WHAT WE NEED IS TO DO OUR PART IN HELPING OTHERS IN NEED, AND LIVE OUR FAITH IN GOD.

WITH EVERY GOOD DEED THAT WE DO TO OTHERS, WE MANIFEST A SPARK OF LIGHT IN THIS WORLD... DOING GOD'S WILL WHILE WE CAN, AND HELPING OTHERS OUT OF LOVE- THESE ACTS IF DONE UNTIL THE END OF OUR LIVES WILL MERIT ETERNAL SALVATION.

WHAT IS THE USE OF POWER, FAME, GLORY, AND RICHES WHEN IN THE END IT WILL FADE AND WILL BE GONE? WHY NOT INVEST ON SOMETHING THAT LAST BEYOND OUR LIVES? INVEST ON GOD'S KINGDOM THROUGH GOOD WORKS...

FOR EVERY GOOD WORKS THAT WE DO, FOR EVERY TIME WE SHARE OUR RESOURCES FOR GOD'S MISSIONARY WORKS, FOR EVERY TIME WE ASSIST IN GOD'S CHARITY WORKS, WE ARE STORING RICHES IN HEAVEN...

I THANK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING US IN THE MISSIONARY WORKS, IN THE OUTREACH, AND THE CHARITY WORKS... AS YOU SHARE TO US, YOU ARE STORING HEAVENLY TREASURES FOR YOURSELVES...

WHAT YOU SHARE, WE GIVE TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, TO THE STREET CHILDREN AND THE LESSER PRIVILEGED ONES IN OUR SOCIETY...

THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIFE IS TO LIVE IN THE LOVE AND LIGHT OF GOD... TO LIVE IN GOD'S LIGHT AND LOVE IS TO BECOME THE LIGHT FOR OTHERS... THROUGH OUR GOOD WORKS... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...
