Once again, for the second time in my lifetime, together with my wife and children, the second Filipino Saint was canonized. We deem it a blessing to have witnessed several Catholic milestones particularly those involving the Philippines. In all those, we have experienced the love and generosity of God. His healing power is just so enormous and the blessings continuously showered are truly manifestations of His Omnipotence and Greatness. So today, as one family, we are witnesses once again to the goodness of God on the occasion of the canonization of San Pedro Calungsod. He is a patron saint of all but particularly the youth, missionaries, catechists, sacristans, and even the OFWs. His martyrdom was all about his determination, willingness and courage to defend the Catholic Faith with his own life. More importantly, in our world today, when the Catholic Church is being attacked, and priests being maligned, physically and verbally attacked, or murdered, the exemplary and sacred courage of San Pedro Calungsod is something that should be imbued in every faithful.
San Pedro Calungsod, pray for us !
