About FMAA

The Fil-Mission Auxiliary Association (FMAA) is anationwide, non-political, non-profit, Catholic layassociation whose main aims are the propagationof missionary consciousness among the Filipino

people and the sanctification of its members. It is aparish-based organization. It has various units indifferent parishes in the country where it is recog-nized, authorized and controlled by the parishwhich has jurisdiction over them.

The Vision

The FMAA envisions "A community of lay mission-aries actively living and sharing the gift of faith inthe light of the Gospel towards the growth of theFilipino Church." This primarily stems from the be-lief that by virtue of our baptism each one of us is alay missionary and together we shall live and share

the gift of faith. Further more, as propagators ofvocations and missionary consciousness, everyFMAA member shall be a model of Christian matur-ity.

The Mission

The actions of the association shall always be insupport of the Catholic Church. As a lay missionaryassociation our mission is to propagate missionaryconsciousness and develop missionary spiritualitywith the ultimate goal of building responsible mis-sionary communities. We shall also promote reli-gious and lay missionary vocations. As a parish-based association, it is our responsibility to provide

and initiate mission programs for all the parishes.

The Objectives of the Association

1. Sanctification of Members

Every member has to achieve a high level of spiri-tual growth and development since the foremostobligation for the spread of the Gospel is to lead aprofound Christian life.

2.Spiritual, Moral and Material Assistance to

Missions

The FMAA is tasked to provide spiritual (by prayingfor the missions), moral (by keeping in touch with

our Filipino missionaries) and material (by offeringsacrifices and financial support on individual basis)assistance to the missionary apostolate of theCatholic Church.

3. Assistance in Mission Animation

The FMAA aims to vigorously assist in the propa-gation of missionary consciousness among theFilipino people by making them aware of their be-ing missionary themselves by virtue of their bap-tism. The organization believes that lay participa-tion or involvement will have a profound and effec-tive impact in the missionary apostolate of the

Catholic Church.

4. Awareness and Responsiveness to Social

and Moral Issues.

The organization seeks to be fully aware of thesocial and moral issues that affect our faith and ourcountry. Christ mandated us through the sevencorporal works of mercy to extend our total andunselfish commitment to our brothers and sisters inneed.

5. Establishment of Filipino Youth with a Mis-

sion (FYM)

The organization seeks to actively involve theyouth in the missionary apostolate of the organiza-tion. We believe that the younger generation is thehope of the Church and the world (see paragraph #58 Tertio Millenio Adveniente by Pope John PaulII).

The FMAA supplements the missionary activity theFilipino missionaries especially the MSP priests inAsia and Oceania, and thus reflects God's pro-found love for man and the Church. Each membershows love and concern for all especially the least

and poorest of his brothers through the practice ofthe corporal works of mercy. The FMAA missionaryspirit is enhanced by an intense prayer life coupledwith an ardent will for conversion. With humility andmeekness, each member seeks the forgiveness ofGod and also possesses a forgiving heart.

Inspired by Mary, the FMAA with the grace of theHoly Spirit, aims to encourage cooperation in thework of evangelization in such manner that there isan active direct participation of lay people in themissionary apostolate of the church with the ulti-mate goal of becoming spiritually mature in Faithby being in union with Christ.

Mga Biyayang mula sa

Sakripisyo at Paglilingkod

Czarjeff Laban

Bawat gawaing misyonero ay kailangan ng pananam-

palataya, sakripisyo, at paglilingkod, at ang mga ito aylaging sinusundan ng pagbuhos ng mga biyaya.

Sa pagdaraos natin ng buwan ng Misyon, marapat langna isabuhay natin at talakayin kung ano ang kahala-gahan nito sa buhay pananampalataya nating mga Ka-toliko.

Totoong mahirap sa simula ang tumugon ng lubusan samisyon, maging ang mga relihiyoso at mga banal ayaraw-araw na nakikibaka sa gawaing ito. Tiyak na isa-saalang-alang ang apat na P: pangamba, pag-aalalasa pamilya, pananalapi, at paghanap ng tamang pag-kakataon upang magmisyon. Struggle talaga, di syabasta-basta.

Pero may kasagutan dito, ang ating most powerful Ppananampalataya. Tanging sa pananampalataya la-mang natin masusunod ang Diyos. Dasal lang talaga attaimtim na pagpapanumbalik loob kay Bro.

Sabi nga sa Bibliya: Sapagkat kung walang pananam-palataya sa mga anak ng tao, ang Diyos ay hindi maka-gagawa ng himala sa kanila; anupat hindi niya ipinakitaang kanyang sarili hanggang sa sila muna ay nagkaroonng pananampalataya.

Kaya totoo ang kasabihan, kapag ayaw may dahilan,kapag gusto may paraan. Nawa, ganun din ang gawinnatin sa ating buhay pananampalataya. Sa ating sarilingparaan, magmisyon tayo at magbahagi ng panahon,

talento, at biyaya sa ating kapwang nangangailangan.

Tasting Life

Anthony De Mello

Before the young man began his studies, he wanted assurance from theMaster.

"Can you teach me the goal of human life?"

"I cannot," replied the Master.

"Or at least its meaning?"

"I cannot."

"Can you indicate to me the nature of death and of life beyond the grave?"

"I cannot."

The young man walked away in scorn. The disciples were dismayed thattheir Master had been shown up in a poor light.

Said the Master soothingly, "Of what is it to comprehend life's nature and

life's meaning if you have never tasted it? I'd rather you ate your puddingthan speculated on it."

Related Quote:

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart

and try to love the questions themselves.. . Do not now

seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because

you will not be able to live them. And the point is, to

live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you

will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some

distant day into the answer." - Rainer Maria Rilke

FREQUENTLY CALLED NOS.

Sa limang linggong magkakasunod, ang magiging tuonng ating mga pagninilay ay si Jesu-Kristo bilang Tina-pay ng Buhay. Sa Linggong ito isasaad kung paanonglilingapin ni Jesus ang napakaraming nagugutom. Hu-migit kumulang limanlibo ang mga lalaki, kabilang dito

ang mga alagad ni Jesus. Sinusundan nila si Jesuspagkatapos nilang masaksihan ang maraming pagpa-pagaling na kanyang ginawa.

Naganap ang pagpapakain sa madla sa burol ngTiberias. Umapaw ang pagkain. Lahat ay nakakainhanggat gusto nila. Hindi lamang nabusog at nasiya-han ang lahat; lumabis pa ang mga tinapay at isda attinipon ito sa labindalawang bakol. Larawan ito ng ka-gandahang-loob ng Diyos, kung paano siyang nag-dadalang-habag sa mga nangangailangan. Masasala-min din dito ang kapangyarihang taglay ni Jesus. Hindilamang sakit ng tao ang malalapatan niya ng lunas,

maging ang malawakang pagkagutom ay handa ni-yang tugunan. Nagbibiyaya ang Diyos sa lahat nanghigit sa sapat.

Mahalagang maunawaan na ang pagpaparami niJesus ng tinapay at isda ay naganap kasangkot angtao. Naroon ang kanyang mga apostol tulad ninaFelipe at Andres. Naroon din ang isang batang lalaki.Kahit na po halagang 200 denaryong tinapay ang bil-hin ay di sasapat para makakain ng tigkakaunti angmga tao,tugon ni Felipe kay Jesus nang subukin siyanito. Kinakatawan ni Felipe ang pagka-praktikal ng tao.Binigyang-tinig niya ang ating makitid na pag-iisip atkawalan ng pananampalataya. Inilalarawan niya angmga pagkakataong napako tayo sa pagbibilang at

nanalig lamang sa mga bagay na nakikita, nasasalat atnasusukat.

Sa kabilang banda, si Andres naman ang kumakata-wan sa maliit nating pananalig sa Diyos. Mayroon poritong isang batang lalaki na may dalang limang tina-

pay na sebada at dalawang isda. Ngunit gaano na itosa ganyang karaming tao? Taglay ni Andres angpananampalatayang maaaring lumalim. Tinuruan siyani Jesus nang tanggapin nito mula sa batang lalaki aymga tinapay na sebada at mga isda. Ang alay ngbatang lalaki ang alay ng isang dukhamaliit athamak subalit mula sa isang taong marunong magti-wala at manalig sapagkat may kababaang-loob.Pinaupo ni Jesus ang mga tao, kinuha niya ang mgaalay, nagpasalamat sa Ama at ipinamahagi iyon samga tao. Hindi bat ito rin ang gagawin ni Jesus saHuling Hapunan?

Marami pa rin ang mga nagugutom ngayon. Nan-gako si Jesus na hindi niya tayo iiwan at pababayaan.Alam niyang bukod sa pagkain, marami pa tayongibang uri ng pagkagutom. Nagkakaroon ng di pag-kakaunawaan sa pamilya. Kinakapos sa pagmamaha-lan ang magkaibigan. May mga biktimang naghahanapng katarungan. Naghahanap ang mga kabataan ngtamang paggabay at saysay sa buhay. Naghihintay ngginhawa ang mga maysakit, matatanda at mga nan-gungulila.

Sa atin umaasa si Jesus sa pagkakataong ito. Tayoang maliit na batang inaasahan niyang hindi mang-ingiming magkaloob ng ating alay gaano man ito kaliit.Sa kamay ni Jesus, ang ating alay, gaano man hamak,ay makasasapat para sa lahat. Kasama tayo ni Jesus

TORONTO, JULY 15, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The themes of sheep andshepherding flow though the Scripture readings for the Sixteenth Sun-day in Ordinary Time (Year B). The moving Gospel story of Jesushaving compassion on the crowds that were "l ike sheep without ashepherd" helps us to focus on his ministry of teaching, reconcilingand shepherding.

Literature of antiquity often referred to the person responsible forguiding a community as a shepherd. Likewise, the Old Testamentfrequently described the Lord himself as the shepherd of his people.Individuals invoked him as "my shepherd" (Psalm 23:1), and the com-munity prayed to him as the "Shepherd of Israel" (Psalm 80:1).

In the New Testament, the image of the shepherd expresses greatauthority and responsibility. Nourishing the flock means that the shep-herd must protect them from heresy, ever ready to defend the sheepfrom marauders. John tells us that Jesus himself proclaimed that hefulfilled Israel's hope for the coming of the good shepherd: "I am thegood shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for thesheep" (John 10:11).

When Jesus withdraws with his disciples to a deserted place to rest,he attracts a great number of people to follow them. Toward this peo-ple of the new exodus Jesus is moved with pity; he satisfies their spiri-tual hunger by teaching them many things, thus gradually showinghimself the faithful shepherd of a new Israel.

When the Scriptures describe Jesus as having pity on his flock be-cause they were "like sheep without a shepherd" in Mark 6:30-34,such an image is not original to Jesus in the Gospels. The image isdrawn from Ezekiel 34, where God unleashes his anger at the shep-herds of Israel who have fattened themselves on the weak and vul-nerable, instead of caring for them (Ezekiel 34:10-12).

Sheep without a shepherd

Jesus' compassion is much more than a fleeting or temporary feeling

of regret or sorrow. It is rather a deep anguish, a gut-wrenching typeof anxiety and sorrow over the condition of people. Jesus was de-scribing the spiritual lives of those who were living outside of the sal-vation so freely offered by God. Jesus felt gut-wrenching anguish overthe souls of these people who were facing spiritual starvation withoutsomeone to feed them, teach them, and lead them to true spiritualnourishment. They were in danger without a shepherd to protect themfrom false teaching. Like sheep without the good shepherd, they werealone and vulnerable to the attacks of the evil one, who roams aroundlike a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

"Like sheep without a shepherd" is an accurate description of thespiritual lives of many 21st-century Christians in the world today. Theexpression describes many of our contemporaries who are direc-tionless, helpless, and very vulnerable to the seductions and attacksof the evil one. "Sheep without a shepherd" are more than just a littlelost. They are more than just a little vulnerable. They are facing dan-ger and destruction.

Jesus' Compassion

Jesus saw the sick and his compassion healed them. He saw thosepossessed by demons and his compassion freed them. He told thestory of a king who was owed a huge debt by his servant. When theservant could not pay, the king ordered him thrown into slavery, alongwith his family. When the servant pleaded for mercy the king "had

compassion" on him and forgave the huge debt.

Jesus spoke about a man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho.That poor fellow fell among thieves who beat him, robbed him and lefthim to die. Two high-ranking religious officials passed by him, but aSamaritan stopped and "had compassion" on him. He bandaged theman's wounds and carried him to an inn where he nursed him throughthe night. The next day he paid the bill and gave the innkeeper hiscredit line, saying, "If he needs more, charge it to me."

Who can forget the thought-provoking story of the younger son whotook his inheritance and squandered it in loose living? One day he"came to himself" and returned to his father's house, not hoping to berestored as a son, but wanting only to be hired as a servant. His fa-ther saw him coming and "had compassion" on him. Before the soncould even utter his speech of repentance, the father placed on him aring and robe and shoes and called for a royal feast.

The compassion of Jesus heals and feeds, forgives huge debts,nurses hurt bodies back to health and welcomes home sinners, re-storing them to a place of honor. Jesus will not let his compassionstay with God or in heaven. He commands us: "Be compassionate as

your Father is compassionate. "

Jesus did a lot more than just feel compassion for those in today'sGospel story from Mark 6. His strong emotion moved him to act, farbeyond what any shepherd would be expected to do for his sheep.The authentic shepherd, who models his or her life on Jesus, mustlove the people entrusted to him and imitate Jesus.

Where will we find such compassion for ourselves?

From time to time, despite our best intentions, we find ourselvesamong those in need, those who are like sheep without a shepherd.At times we ask ourselves: "Where on earth can we find this compas-sion to share with others?" I have learned that only in solitude beforeGod, faced only with ourselves, can we learn the compassion of God.Perhaps it is not by accident that in the thick of his ministry and bur-

dened by the unrelenting needs and demands of the crowd, Jesuscalled his disciples to join him in the desert: "Come away to a de-serted place all by yourselves and rest awhile."

Could it not be the same for us, that away from the hustle and bustleof the everyday demands, we retreat in order to wrestle with our ownhearts before God? And there we learn mercy and become in our daybearers of the compassion of Christ.

Leading people out

One of the most powerful and moving reflections on the theme ofcompassionate shepherding is found in Benedict XVI's inauguralhomily of his Petrine Ministry on April 24, 2005:

"The pastor must be inspired by Christ's holy zeal: for him it is not amatter of indifference that so many people are living in the desert.And there are so many kinds of desert. There is the desert of poverty,the desert of hunger and thirst, the desert of abandonment, of loneli-ness, of destroyed love.

"There is the desert of God's darkness, the emptiness of souls nolonger aware of their dignity or the goal of human life. The externaldeserts in the world are growing, because the internal deserts havebecome so vast.

In today's Gospel the disciples come home exulting in their firstmissionary experience. Jesus invites them to make a retreat, "Youmust come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and restfor a while." In our own times people continue to go apart to makeretreats. In recent years the trends in retreats have been changing.

The first of the trends, basic to most of the others, is that the em-phasis has moved from morality tospirituality. In the days prior to Vati-can II, most retreats assumed andemphasized that things weren't go-ing all that well in the lives of peoplewho came. At the top of the agenda,you would find awareness of sin andthe need for wiping the slate cleanbefore returning to a sinful world. Butin the wake of Vatican II, interest inthis kind of retreat died out, and theretreat movement might have gonewith it.

But from the ashes rose retreats with

a new emphasis - spirituality. Thefocus became spirituality and prayerexperience rather than the heavymorality of the past.

The interest today is in a more holis-tic spirituality. That is, people are notas preoccupied with the vertical linkbetween God and the soul, but areconcerned with all aspects of thehuman and their connection with thedivine. In other words, this spiritualityconcentrates on the whole person,on all of the person's life.Because holistic spirituality also includes the body, often seen in

the past as the enemy of the spiritual life, several retreat directorsnow include exercise programs in their retreats. Some would bringin a nutritionist or a doctor to speak during retreats, while still oth-ers have artists and musicians participating in retreats in an effortto help achieve integration.

However, the most remarkable trend in today's retreats is thebursting interest in contemplative prayer. No doubt many tradi-tional prayers - such as the rosary and rote prayers featuring lotsof words, memorized or read from a book - are still in evidenceduring retreats. But the trend now is very much toward the con-templative word-less thought-less style of prayer, a form of prayerassociated in the past with religious communities and the East,but now gaining popularity among lay people in western or west-

ernized countries.

While interest in prayer and silence and solitude remains veryhigh, an increasing number of people are coming to retreats be-cause they are suffering in some way and are looking for help.They are hurting and looking for healing. They can often behelped to healing through an individually directed retreat or

through a peer co-counseling typeof group retreat.

But there is another sense inwhich the spirituality one finds onretreats has a holistic character. Itnot only emphasizes the individ-ual as a whole, but creation as awhole, and, human beings as partof that creation. Further, this em-phasis says creation reveals theCreator, and, indeed, is the firstsource of revelation and whereGod can be experienced.

One reason the retreat directorsmay be turning toward creationspirituality is that its strong this-world dimension forms a basis fora social justice focus, an area inwhich efforts have been inconsis-tent up to now.

Not surprisingly, the traditional

retreat of the past whose content

tended to be the same, also had a

format that was considered more

or less standard. There are many

new formats today in which participants don't just listen passively,

but participate actively and interact with each other. Often thisapproach is called process. It emphasizes helping people make

discoveries usually about realities already present in their own

lives, rather than sharing new information. What's more, in their

dialogue participants go beyond discussing ideas to a deeper

level of sharing their personal feelings, experiences and faith. This

process is particularly powerful in retreats focusing on participants

with a common hurt - such as the divorced or widowed dealing

with their loss.

Amie Sison

Minsan tinanong ko ang aking sarili kung ano ba ang misyon kosa buhay: ang maging Ina, maging public servant, maging guro, o

maglingkod sa simbahan? Paano ba malalaman ang ating misyon.

Kailan natin malalaman ang kanyang pagtawag. At kailan darating

ang panahon na tanggapin ang misyong iyon.

Naalala ko ang pelikulang "Divine Mercy." Binigyan siya ng

Panginoon ng kakayanan sa paggamot. Tinanggap nya ang isang

pagtawag ng walang paga-alinlangan. Na kahit ang lahat ay

magiging katuw- tuwa sa mga mata ng tao. Matapang niyang

hinarap ang ano mang pagdududa at kawalan ng tiwala ng mga

tao. Isang tunay na pagmamahal para kay Lord.

Ang mga pari at madre ay inisip ko na tumanggap sa kanilang

mga misyon sa buhay sa pamamagitan sa paglilingkod sa Pangi-

noon. Masasabi ko na masaya sila sa kung anuman ang nan-

gyayari sa kanilang buhay. Malalaman natin iyon kung sila ay

walang masasabing anumang reklamo at masaya sa bawat se-

gundo sa bawat araw. Isang karangalan ang mapili na magpa

laganap ng salita ng Diyos.

Tayo kaya? Anung misyon ang meron tayo sa ngayon? Ang

paglilingkod ba sa simbahan o ang pag sunod sa mga utos ng

Diyos. Hindi man tayo naging mga pari o madre alam kong isang

magandang bagay para sa mga mata ng Panginoon ang pagling-

kuran sya. Pagbalik sa di mabilang na biyayang tinanggap sa

bawat araw. Ang paglalaan ng oras sa kanya ay mahalagang

bagay. Ang paglilingkod sa simbahan ay hindi matatapos lang sa

pagtawa sa kanya bilang isang Volunteer. Bagamat may mgahadlang kung kaya hindi ito maipagpatuloy makakatulong pa rin

ang pagmamahal sa Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng panalangin.

Ang pag aalay ng panalangin ay sadyang makapangyarihan.

Kadalasan sa ating karangyaan nalilimutan natin sya. At naaalala

sa oras ng pangangailangan. Kaya siguro binibigyan tayo ng pag-

subok ni Lord upang makausap natin sya. At minsan binibigyan

tayo ng Panginoon ng mga hamon upang malamam kung gaano

tayo katatag na harapin ang isang problema kasama sya.

Minsan sa sobrang pag ka busy ng tao sa kanyang buhay at ka-

sama ang mga karangalaan, dumarating sila sa pagkakataon ng

paglimot na manalangin. Sana sa kabila ng mga hadlang kaya

nawawalan tayo ng oras manalangin, sana bago natin ipikit ang

ating mga mata matuto tayong magpasalamat. Ipakita natin sa

kanya na mahal natin sya. Sa walang hinihinging oras at lugar

maaari tayong manalangin.

Siguro wala pa ang pagbibigay sa atin ni Lord ng ating tunay na

misyon. Kung sakaling darating ba ang panahon na iyon. Kaya

mo bang tanggapin lahat. Kaya mo bang ipagpalit ang lahat para

sa kanya? Bigyan kaya tayo ni Lord ng palugit kung bigyan nya

tayo ng misyon?

Recruitment Agencies Frowns on New POEA Rule

Groups of recruitment agencies openly aired their protests against new memorandums from the Philippine OverseasEmployment Administration (POEA) that adds 44 overseas jobs to the classification of low- and semi-skilled over-

seas Filipino workers (OFWs).

Groups of recruitment agencies openly aired their protests against new memorandums from the Philippine OverseasEmployment Administration (POEA) that adds 44 overseas jobs to the classification of low- and semi-skilled over-seas Filipino workers(OFWs). The new POEA rule also means stricter visa processing and additional requirements foroccupations that belong to the said category.

According to the Federated Associations of Manpower Exporters (Fame), an organization of recruitment agencies, thenew POEA rule is not necessary because it would slow down the hiring process, thus would result to the decreased

deployment of OFWs. The FAME also said that POEA created the new rules without seeking the opinion and approvalof the manpower agencies.

Under the said memorandums, employment contracts of OFWs belonging in the low and semi-skilled category wouldnow have to go through the screening of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) before it will be processed. The

work contracts also need to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy in the host country.

The president of Fame, Eduardo Mahiya said The recruitment industry is already over-regulated, strangulating the

sector with more rules that are not conducive to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyos thrust to create more jobsabroad.

Mahiya added, What is the use of all these marketing missions which the President herself attends if after cominghome, we, the direct providers of overseas employment opportunities are prevented from deploying more?

Recruitment agencies also complained that the government agency provided no transition period for the implementa-tion of the new rule, thus affecting even job orders that are already for approval.

The MCs were issued last June 15 and implemented right away (July 1). It was formulated without due consultation,

and there is not even a transition period to allow the stakeholders to prepare, he explained

A recruitment consultant Emmanuel Geslani also said that the POEA memorandums would result in a maze of formsand certifications from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa), the Technical Education and Skills De-velopment Authority (Tesda), labor attaches, valid visas/work permits, individual employment contracts.

According to Geslani, the additional requirement would discourage foreign recruitment offices to hire OFWs especiallyin the Middle East.

Geslani said, The end result will be a massive drop in deployment starting by the third quarter of 2009."On the other hand, the POEA explained that Memorandum Circular 5 and 6 was imposed with the objective to furtherprotect OFWs from exploitation and abuse. The POEA Chief, Jennifer Manalili said that the 44 overseas jobs added inthe June 15 circular are the most exploited. This is the reason why they required POLO verification prior to approvalof a job order.

The POEA found an ally with the group, Center for Migrant Advocacy (CMA). The executive director of CMA, ElleneSana said in an e-mail interview by GMANews.Tv, "We should be happy that POEA is concerned with the rights andwelfare of our low, semi-skilled workers and wants to protect them from reprocessing,"

The new POEA rule was also welcomed by another umbrella organization of recruitment agencies, the Philippine As-sociation of Service Exporters, Inc. (Pasei). According to Victor Fernandez, PASEI president, this is "just a one-timedifficulty."

Fernandez said, "From my point of view, that is the best way to do it."
