𝗚𝗮𝘇𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗟𝗲𝗻𝘀 | 𝐀𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐨

Bago tuluyang magsara ang pahina ng taon, halina’t salubungin ang pagsilang ng isang tradisyon—ang Paskong CEFIzeno.

Sa bawat sulok ng kampus, humahaplos ang malamig na simoy ng hangin, kasabay ang mainit na yakap ng mga alaala ng Pasko—mga kuwentong muling binubuhay ng liwanag.

Hindi ba’t ang Pasko ay salamin ng saya at pag-asa sa loob ng bawat tahanan? Gayon din ito sa bawat CEFIzeno na patuloy na naglalakbay sa agos ng buhay. Bagama’t may mga pagkakataong ang daan ay hindi madali, patuloy pa ring humahakbang, sapagkat sa dulo nito’y may regalong matatanggap—isang buhay na hinubog ng pagmamahal, tibay, at kagandahan.

Sa pagkislap ng mga ilaw at pagtagni-tagni ng mga ngiti, isinasabuhay ang diwa ng Pasko—hindi lamang bilang selebrasyon, kundi bilang alaala at pangako ng pagkakaisa.

Maligayang Pasko, mga CEFIzeno!🎄

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | CEFI-CRCYC mobilizes community for bloodletting program

The CEFI–College Red Cross Youth Council (CEFI-CRCYC), in partnership with the Red Cross Lucena Chapter, led the event titled “Pasko, Pagmamahal, Pagbibigay-Buhay: Blood Letting Program” on December 12, held at the Kalayaan Hall Ground Floor.

According to Monica M. Dasco, Internal Vice President of CEFI-CRCYC and organizer of the event, the organization aims not only to serve other people through volunteerism and first aid, but also to spread the spirit of saving lives and donating blood this season of giving.

“During December, according to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), we usually run out of blood supply in the blood bank, so we encourage everyone to donate during this bloodletting event and even in other months of the year,” Dasco said.

The organizer shared that the Philippine Red Cross has doctors and staff who are well-trained, as well as CEFI-CRCYC members who have undergone seminars and programs to ensure that they are ready to conduct this kind of activity while providing safety and comfort for donors.

“We want to encourage everyone not just to support this kind of bloodletting program, but also to volunteer, because we stand by our motto that serving people is a form of love you can give to others. Hindi lang siya basta-basta nabibigay. Kumbaga, wala nang kailangang ilabas pa kundi ang tulong para matulungan ang ibang tao,” she added.

The Church professes this truth in the dogma proclaimed in 1854 (INEFFABILIS DEUS):

“𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴, 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘺 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵, 𝘚𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘬𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘪𝘯.”

On this holy day, we are invited to reflect on Mary’s spotless heart, her humble obedience, and her total surrender to God’s will. Her life reminds us that grace is stronger than sin, and that God’s plan for us begins long before we understand it.

May Our Lady, conceived without sin, pray for us — that we may grow in purity, faith, and unwavering trust in God’s love.
