📖 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | Lapida

Sa paglalakad sa sementadong daanan ng sementeryo
Mga mata’y maraming makikita’t matatamo
Mga nagbebenta ng bulaklak, kandila
Mga naglalako ng kape, sitsirya
Mga taong sa sementeryo na nakatira

Ngunit isang bagay na hindi makakalimutan, makakaligtaan
Ang mga lapida na nakakabit sa mga libingan
Iba’t ibang pangalan, iba’t ibang storya
Ang iba ay bagong bago at may tagalinis pa
Ang iba ay luma at sira-sira

Mga titik halos hindi na mabasa!
Ibang bahagi ay wasak-wasak na
Wala man isang kandila o isang bulaklak na makikita
Masakit isipin at mahirap tanggapin na kahit sa huling pagkakataon,
Walang nakaalala sa atin

Ito siguro ang tunay na kamatayan!
Walang nakakaalala sa’yo kahit sinuman
Kaya’t pakiusap sa mga makababasa
Huwag natin hayaang maging ganito
Ang lapida ng ating mga yumao

𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗, 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨

As he walked on the Sea of Galilee, to Saint Peter, Jesus said ”Follow me” and at once Peter, a fisherman, left his net and followed Him. Peter, whose real name was Simon, was one the first followers of Christ accompanying Jesus in his travels.

As the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus grew nearer and nearer, with Jesus now seized and arrested, the apostles grew afraid and fled. As Jesus was led to a high priest’s house, the saint followed him at a distance. Peter was asked three times if he knew Jesus to which he replied no three times.

After His crucifixion and eventual resurrection, Christ appeared to the disciples including to Saint Peter where the two were reconciled with one another. In this encounter, three times Jesus asks if Peter loves him to which the apostle replies yes to all instances.

Peter acted as a leader and spokesperson of the Twelve Apostles, leading the disciples in proclaiming the teachings of their Master, Jesus. The Prince of the Apostles had numerous journeys across numerous regions delivering sermons, shepherding the Christian communities, and converting thousands.

Peter served his final days in Rome, establishing the Christian church there and becoming its first head. After the Great Fire of Rome which wrecked the Roman Empire, the Roman Emperor Nero blamed the early Christians for the fire and had them fed to wild animals, arrested, and even crucified. Saint Peter was also apart of the victims of this persecution, he was sent to be crucified. The holy man requested he be crucified upside down, thinking he was unworthy of dying the same way as Jesus.

Many Christians were inspired by the martyrs’ and Peter’s selfless example, their deaths served as testimonies of genuine Christian love and sacrifice. Many men and women of different walks of life were inspired by the examples of these saints, who were transformed by the love and call of their Lord.

May we be inspired by these holy men and women in their service to humanity and to the divine. All Saints, pray for us. 🙏

The 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗩 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 has been part of the Marian Angel tradition since the dawn of time. It is a spiritual event that ties us closer to Mother Mary, our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary and the mother of our savior Jesus Christ. And through this, each Marian Angel was given the time to connect not just with themselves, but with each other under one holy prayer.

May peace be with all of us through and through. 🙏
