MASBATE/MY PROVINCE

an acrostic by satjr.

Majestic province, lovely paradise

Home of the golden, marvelous sunrise

Adorable clouds and the lofty sky

Proclaim your grandeur with delightful cry

Scintillating seas that embrace your shore

Enhance the beauty of your vast nature

Bountiful harvest of your mighty plains

Unites with the gift of your rich mountains

Astonishing place of dignified men

Immense hopes and dreams bloom in your garden

Testimony of such rustic splendor

Our inspiration, fountain of valor

Ever beloved, Masbate province

Thanks for the joy of your magnificence!

Dimasalang/My Homeland (satjr.)

Dear Dimasalang, pacific cradle

Of illustrious and brilliant people.

In your rich garden of bliss and beauty,

Everyone can feel pure tranquility.

Memories of you will never depart

Oh pristine haven you’ll stay in my heart!

Amidst the triumph and jubilation

You certainly serve my inspiration

Stars and moon above, that glitter your sky

Declare your splendor with a joyful cry

Angels protect you from evil and harm

Bestow your settlers with goodness and charm

Lustrous paradise, homeland of the greats

To you I’ll offer all my greatest deeds

Always praise and thank, deeply glorify

Our dear Creator, Holy God on High!

Never be afraid, Heaven is your guide

Love humility, take away your pride

Go and reach your dream, town that I adore

Dear Dimasalang, shine forevermore!

Guam is one of the most memorable places for me, I took my USA PT board exam there, and I passed it!

after my exam, I roamed around to relax my tortured mind (but I had a feeling already that I would pass, thanks be to God; I made it!)

Memories in Guam

in front of the church, where I attended the Holy mass a night before my exam (I attributed my success to God)

Chanel, Guam

I did not try the slingshot, I was afraid!

how I wish to have one! someday I will buy 10 pcs. or more

THE 15 PROMISES OF MARY TO CHRISTIANS WHO RECITE THE ROSARY

2006-09-07T23:41:00.000-07:00

ROSARY!!!
Current mood: content

The 15 Promises of Mary to Christians Who Recite the Rosary (Imprimatur: Patrick J. Hayes, D.D., Archbishop of New York

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the rosary, shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the rosary.
3. The rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of he world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, those souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the rosary shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver form purgatory those who have been devoted to the rosary.
10. The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the rosary.
12. All those who propagate the holy rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocated of the rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only son Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion of my rosary is a great sign of predestination.

20 ‘cans of success’

*from ‘gentle breeze’ of Nelly Favis-Villafuerte of Manila Bulletin (adapted from “victory over darkness” of Dr. Neil Anderson)

Why should I say I can’t when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength? (Philippians 4:13)
Whys should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus? (Philippians 4:19)
Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind? (2 Timothy 1:7)
Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling knowing that God has allotted to me a measure of faith? (Romans 12:3)
Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action because I know God? (Psalm 27:1, Daniel 11:32)
Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world? (1 John 4:4)
Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in triumph? (2 Corinthians 2:14)
Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it? (1 Corinthians 1:30, James 1:5)
Why should I be depressed when I can recall minding God’s having kindness, compassion, and faithfulness and having hope? (Lamentations 3:21-230)
Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiety on Christ who cares for me? (1 Peter 5:7)
Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that there is liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is? (Galatians 5:1)
Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I am in Christ? (Romans 8:1)
Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me or forsake me? (Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:5)
Why should I feel accursed or that I am the victim of bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law that I might receive His spirit? (Galatians 3:13-14)
Why should I be discontented when, like Paul, can learn to be content in all m circumstances? (Philippians 4:11)
Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that I might become the righteousness of God in Him? (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me when God is for me? (Romans 8:3)
Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit? (1 Corinthians 14:13, 2:12)
Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ? (Romans 8:37)
Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its tribulations? (John 16:33)
