The Beginnings of the Celebration

The practice of celebrating Chuseok dates back to the early Silla Dynasty (57 B.C. - A.D. 935).

In the year A.D. 32, King Yuri of Silla ordered women from six local towns in Gyeongju, the

capital of the ancient dynasty, to be divided into two teams and to engage in a weaving competitionover the period of one year from July 15 until August 14 the next year.

The team that had woven the most cloth by the date we now know as Chuseok was declared the

winner.

The losing team would then prepare a large celebration - filled with dancing, eating and singing -

for the victors.

The Chusok Holiday: a Day of Thanksgiving and Family Reunion

Ancestral Worship

During the holiday, there will be a mass exodus from cities as millions of Koreans re-turn to their ancestral hometowns to reunite with their families and to pay homage to theirforebears.

People visit the tombs of their ancestors on Chuseok.On Chuseok day, people performancestral worship rituals early in the morning.

The traditional ceremonies of beolcho, charye, and seongmyo are faithfully practiced

by a large portion of the Korean population.(http://www.korea.net/News/News/NewsView.asp?serial_no=20080903002)

One of my favorite miracle stories is the Healing of the Paralytic Man.Many times Ive compared myself with the man in the story. I have never

been a paralytic, I mean, physically. But looking deeper into myself I realizethat Ive been, in many and a lot ways, been a paralytic.

GUILT. For about five years Ive been living in guilt for a lot of things Icould NOT have done but I did. Two of the pressing sources of my guilt aremy absence in my family while my kids are growing up and my unsuccessfulmarriage. Never in my wild dreams that these will happen because I havealways hoped, wished, and prayed for the best. The very source of mystrength became the most unstable of all. Through Gods grace I realizedthat I MUST not be too hard on myself. That I have to forgive myself andpray that I may be able to accept the things I cannot change. Gods forgive-ness, that helped me to forgive myself. What happiness for those whoseguilt has been forgiven! What relief for those who have confessed their sinsand God has cleaned their record. Psalms 32:1

RESENTMENT AND ANGER. The turbulent, difficult, painful, andtraumatic experiences I went through borne in me some resentments andanger. When my kids were very young, we used to pray together before wego to bed. One day, my second daughter who was only 7 years old thenasked me, Mama, lagi po tayong nagpe pray pero bakit di natin pinagpepray si papa? (Mama, we are always praying, but why dont we pray forpapa? I was caught unaware and stunned by that very innocent but strikingquestion from my 7-year old girl. I stopped for a moment, trying to find foran answer. My answer was, kasi anak hindi pa handa si mama. (Babybecause Mama isnt ready yet). That served as a challenge for me. Thequestion kept coming back, the Lord spoke through my daughter. Until oneday, I found myself praying for my husband, offering him in every celebrationof the Mass especially in the consecration. Yes, forgiveness comes from

our compassionate, merciful God and He respects our unpreparedness. But

with His grace, His time comes.

FEAR. Fear of being alone, fear of growing old, fear of losing a job, fear oflosing someone I love, fear of taking risks, fear for my childrens future, fearof making decisions.. endless fears come everyday in my life. Over-coming these fears is such a difficult process. I wish, someday, I can over-come all of these and say, Lord, may your will be done.

MATERIALISM. Ive been working hard all my life. In Elementary, I hadto go to the tobacco farm to earn P5.00 a day, sell papayas after a typhoon,tomatoes, vegetables, etc. just to have extra money. In High School, I hadto help in the school canteen to have Sky Flakes and a bottle of Coke forsnacks. In college, I had to wash hundreds of trays, giant pots and kitchenutensils in the dormitory so I can be spared from paying dormitory fees. Ihad to teach in 3-4 schools with some consultancies just to make both endsmeet. In Korea, I have to work 12 hours a day or more to earn and haveenough, ignoring the cold in the winter and the heat in the summer season.But when is ENOUGH enough? Admittedly, it was for survival at first, butlater it was close to..materialism.

My Compassionate and Merciful God,

I surrender everything that drive my life- my guilt, my fears, my resent-ments and anger, my materialism. Help me trust in you more and keep my

purpose firm. Heal me, touch me the same way you did to the paralyzedman. AMEN!

CATHOLIC FAITH:

Feast DaySeptember 14th

On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (or Triumph of the Cross) we honor the Holy Cross

by which Christ redeemed the world. The public veneration of the Cross of Christ originated in the

fourth century, according to early accounts, beginning with the miraculous discovery of the cross

on September 14, 326, by Saint Helen, mother of Constantine, while she was on a pilgrimage to Je-

rusalem -- the same day that two churches built at the site of Calvary by Constantine were dedicated.

The observance of the Feast of the Exaltation (probably from a Greek word meaning "bringing

to light") of the Cross has been celebrated by Christians on September 14 ever since. In the Western

Church, the feast came into prominence in the seventh century, apparently inspired by the recovery

of a portion of the Cross, said to have been taken from Jerusalem the Persians, by the Roman em-

peror Heraclius in 629.

Christians "exalt" the Cross of Christ as the instrument of our salvation. Adoration of the Cross

is, thus, adoration of Jesus Christ, the God Man, who suffered and died on this Roman instrument

of torture for our redemption from sin and death. The cross represents the One Sacrifice by which

Jesus, obedient even unto death, accomplished our salvation. The cross is a symbolic summary of

the Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ -- all in one image.

The Cross -- because of what it represents -- is the most potent and universal symbol of the

Christian faith. It has inspired both liturgical and private devotions: for example, the Sign of the

Cross, which is an invocation of the Holy Trinity; the "little" Sign of the Cross on head, lips and

heart at the reading of the Gospel; praying the Stations (or Way) of the Cross; and the Veneration

of the Cross by the faithful on Good Friday by kissing the feet of the image of Our Savior crucified.

Placing a crucifix (the cross with an image of Christ's body upon it) in churches and homes, in

classrooms of Catholic schools and in other Catholic institutions, or wearing this image on our per-

sons, is a constant reminder -- and witness -- of Christ's ultimate triumph, His victory over sin and

death through His suffering and dying on the Cross.

We remember Our Lord's words, "He who does not take up his cross and follow me is not wor-

thy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake shall find it." (Mt

10:38,39). Meditating on these words we unite ourselves -- our souls and bodies -- with His obedi-

ence and His sacrifice; and we rejoice in this inestimable gift through which we have the hope of

salvation and the glory.

Dying, you destroyed our death; rising you restored our life.

Save us by your cross, Christ our Redeemer.

Karunungan: Bro. Allan Rodriguez

(Talk delivered by Most Rev. Jose S. Sorra,DD, MA, Bishop of Legazpi on the Occasion of the El Shaddai-DWXI-PPFIMass and Healing Rally Held in Ligao, Albay)

It was sometime in 1990 that I became quite curious about El Shaddai DWXI-PPFI and its increasing popularity

among the young and the elderly, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. So I made a little study on the origin of the word El

Shaddai. I found out that El is a semitic term for God and Shaddai is traditionally translated as Almighty. El

Shadday is the original Hebrew spelling of El Shaddai. The Latin text uses I for Y.

Shaddai seems to be an abbreviated form of Asher Day, meaning the One Who is Enough. However, there are

other possible word origins. In Arabic, for instance, we have Shadid, meaning strong and Sayyid, meaning Lord.

On the other hand, in Hebrew, we have Shaddah and Shad, which means maternal breast, redolent of the AlkkadianShaddu, the God of Abundance. Besides this, Shadu can also mean mountain, which is a symbol of power and

stability. At the same time, it is reminiscent of the maternal breast because of its form which is mainly a place of refuge,

spiritual retreat and worship, not to mention that it is where one can get food supplies. What is common in all these terms

or possible etymologies are the idea of Lord Who has extraordinary power that always gives protection; the LordWhose infinite goodness shares life and fruitfulness in abundance. Therefore, this infinitely Good and Almighty

Lord, Who guarantees fruitful life and protection, challenges man to believe and trust in Him.

The Covenant between God and Abram and between God and Jacob:

In Genesis 17:2 (Jerusalem Bible Version), God introduced Himself to Abram thus: I am El Shaddai. Bear yourself

blameless in My presence, and I will make a Covenant between Myself and increase your numbers greatly. God also in-troduced Himself to Jacob (Genesis 35:11-13, Jerusalem Bible Version) in the same manner: I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful

and multiply. A nation, indeed a group of nations shall descend from you. Even kings shall be numbered among your de-

scendants. I give you this land, the land I gave to Abraham and to Isaac; and I will give this land to your descendants after

you.

El Shaddai, had promised to both Abram and Jacob countless children. He gave them an assembly of nation for their

posterity as well as vast properties of land, on one important condition: that they walk in His presence and be blameless. It

is worth noting that, on the same occasion, the Lord changed the name of Abram to Abraham and Jacob to Israel. Why?

Because, from that time on, Abram and Jacob became special possessions of El Shaddai. If we are truly followers of El

Shaddai and firmly believe that He became Man and lived among us to die for us in order to give us life, then we shouldall commit ourselves and be faithful to our Covenant with Him, the Powerful and Abundant One, Who has everything for

our life and security. Therefore, in Him we trust, for Him we live, and with Him, we have the power to confront, persuade

and change this materialistic and hedonistic world to the righteous ways and values of El Shaddai.

EB sa isang birthday party na ika'y nakilala

At kasiyahan sa iyong mga patawa

Wala na kaming pahinga sa kakatawa

Dahil sa mga jokes mo na sa amin ay mabenta.

Dumating ang panahon na naging close tayo

Sapagkat ikaw ay sadyang totoo

Isang totoong kaibigan ang maitatawag ko

Sa mga oras na handang mag sakripisyo.

Wala pa akong nakilala na katulad mo

Matulungin at maasahan na tao

Walang kapalit na kahit ano

Purong pagtulong ang lahat ng ito.

Isang saglit yata ang pagdating ng panahon

At nilisan na ang ating organisasyon

Malungkot tanggapin ang iyong paglaon

Ngunit kasiyahan na lang ang aming tugon.

Ngayon na tatahakin mo ang bagong yugto ngbuhay

Sana ikaw ay magtagumpay

Ngunit kung mawalan ng kaagapay

Nandito kami para gumabay.

All though my life You Kept a firm

hold on me

Never knowing who You were

but now I clearly can see

Ive longed to be with You but the worldpulled me strong

Please take me back in Your fold

where certainly I belong

Ive lost everything You gave but a newone You could create

Consider me as Your own

precious child and make me

a holy incarnate

Teach me to learn Your ways and to fol-low the steps You make

For surely I would be out of track

without You and easily break.

Life was there was life since you

occupied my mind, soul and heart

Nobody can take you and Your placeaway from me and nothing can tear us

apart

Since I found You, I couldnt ask for any-thing more for You are everything

What matters most to me

is the promised eternal life only Youcould bring.

Jesus who else do I live my life for untilthe end but only You

You alone are the reality of life as well aslife is Your reality and this I know

How painful it was to sacrifice

Your dear life to save me

from an endless damnation

But Your resurrection defeated death andgave hope for mankinds salvation.

VOLUME 13 I SSUE 37 Page 7One community living up the Gospel through the service of the Lord and our fellow men.

SANAYSAYatbp.

Its been almost four months since I started here in Muak-dong Mission Church. What

seemed to be a short time for me is in reality long- four months- considering every-thing that Ive experienced here.

Yes I have that ideal of what a missionary here must be, yet the reality confronts meand made me question too why I chose to be here? What can I do here? And the anxi-

ety of my still limited language is with me. The time I moved-in to my new house andhave a close encounter with or rather to live with one Korean woman is the time Ive

been looking forward to, to see our differences, but being confronted with that reality

is a sudden culture shock to me. Yes, honestly I am learning the hard way.

So what this reading or article, Diagram of Christian Life, taught me is a kind ofa step by step guide for my daily life here, the process of inculturation. Experiences asthey say are always the starting point of learning and from there all theories, principles or theology on Mission and Inculturation fol-

low. For me, my missionary journey here in Korea has started to have a deeper meaning.

The Eucharist is always a God experience for me. With my still very limited language, I found myself a great refuge each time I

am celebrating the Eucharist with the community. It takes me beyond the language barrier and each celebration is always a communi-tarian experience for me. A celebration of the common faith we have for each other, who wants or have the desire to live the call of

Jesus: do this, break your body and pour out your life for one another, in memory of me, Love one another the way I haveloved you.

These entail some concrete actions on my part as expressed in my own limited ways of sharing life and love to the community, tothe children of Koreans, in teaching English and at the same time or most of the time a ministry of presence, of just being with them.

These sound so simple yet I, on my part, is experiencing a kind of helplessness that I couldnt share more, cant express more much as

I wanted to and sometimes feel isolated for I cant understand everything. Everyday for me is like breaking of the bread, breaking my

body, letting go of what I know or of something familiar with, leaving my comfort zone and dwelling on the unknown and unseen.To love is to serve which alone is authentic worship.

CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP a call which reminds me once again of why I am here speaks of self-abnegation or taking up ones

cross(Mt.16:>24), is a person dedicated to the reign of God and the poor, such discipline becomes discipleship which is true prayer,permanent attitude of self-transcendence that is open to Gods reign, an attitude of obedience and poverty, it is through the needy,

through the vicars of Christ who disrupt my routine, that God exercise Her sovereignty over me, by making me renounce my comfort,my wealth, my time, my energy on their behalf, then inviting me to make myself poor for Gods Kingdom and by that means to be-

come a disciple of Christ.

My everyday life here, my own Christian life to link MISSION AND INCULTURATION as the book had given 7 ways, are for further

reflection on my part too. But what touched me most this time, where I got the title of my reflection was, when something was saidabout interiorization process. It says that interiorization process can be helped by sociological theory of identity. Commitment impacts

the finding of meaning identity salience and the finding of meaning impacts choice of roles. This implies: personal struggle for incul-

turation will be helped by commitment, a courageous turning your bridges behind you how much a person cuts off former relation-ship and takes up new relationship. And yes my journey as a missionary here continues. There are so much to experience and still theuncertainties of what the future is, yet I would like to end this reflection again by quoting from a book.

Faith which interiorizes Gods love experienced and expressed in our love for the poor coincides with personal life of prayer and

liturgical worship is our communal celebration of hope in Gods promise, which fans the flames of eschatological humour which looks

towards a glorious future that laughs its ways into our present struggle. p.65 (excerpt rom the book by Aloysius Pieris,sj GODS REIGNFOR GODS POOR)

Catholics in Pampanga vow to gather 1M signa-

tures vs RH bill

By Tonette Orejas

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PhilippinesAll 91 parishes under theArchdiocese of San Fernando buckled down to work on Tuesday, in gather-ing at least a million signatures from Catholics in Pampanga against theproposed Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008.

The signature drive rolled a day after Archbishop Paciano Anicetolaunched it during the 52nd canonical coronation anniversary of the Virgendelos Remedios, the patroness of the province.

"Let's fight the culture of death, the anti-life conspiracy. [Let us] oppose thereproductive health bill," Aniceto, 71, told some 30,000 devotees who gath-ered for a Mass on the open field of the Villa del Sol here.

"We have given out the forms. We will gather at least one million signaturesagainst the RH bill," he told reporters at the close of the event.

Aniceto said the RH bill, which he said promoted the use of modern con-traceptives, was part of a global conspiracy against life. The Catholic Churchaccepts only the natural form of planning in population management andconsiders abortion a mortal sin. The RH bill does not contain any provisionallowing abortion but Catholic bishops fear that the measure would lay thegroundwork for the legalization of abortion in the country.

"The conspiracy is not only in the Philippines; it involves the United Na-tions Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), affluent nations, NGOs(nongovernment organizations) in America with business interest herewhose purpose is to generate profits for their pharmaceutical industry, Ani-ceto said in a mix of Filipino and English.

It is not the health or dignity of the family that is being defended here. It isgreed and profit motive that is the main goal of this conspiracy against life,"Aniceto said.

For lack of time, he said he did not read the manifestoes from the FamilyLife Forum chapters in Bicol, Cebu and Mindanao that earlier expressedsupport for the effort of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines'commission on family and life to have the RH bill rejected in Congress.

The signature campaign in Pampanga will be completed in two months,according to Aniceto, chair of the CBCP commission.

At the event's venue, parish pastoral councils hung about 20 streamersthat either condemned the RH bill or asked Catholics to protect the sanctityof lives and families.

"Ito ay isang pagpapahayag ng aming paniniwala bilang miyembro ng

Archdiocese of San Fernando na kami'y tutol sa RH bill dahil hindi nito gina-galang ang sagradong origin, kahulugan, valor ng buhay ng pamilya lalo namga babae at mga anak (We, as members of the Archdiocese of San Fer-nando, are doing this to show that we oppose the RH bill because this doesnot respect the sacred origin, meaning and value of life of families, espe-cially of mothers and their children)," Aniceto said.

He said the launch was timed with the anniversary of the coronation of thepatroness, she being the mother of life.

"Mama Mary gave life to the light, the way and truth, who is Jesus Christ,"he said.

He said he already gave up hopes for dialogues with the author of the bill, Albay Representative Edcel Lagman, adding the latter had issued state-ments expressing his position to push the measure into law.

"For the Church, there is no compromise for morality and the Ten Com-mandments. The Fifth Commandment is, 'Thou shall not kill,'" he said.

In July, Aniceto asked President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to clarify herposition on the RH bill.

Lagman said Arroyo should respect the decision couples would make onwhich family planning method to use.
