Forgiveness and Reconcilation, the path to a Loving Community (Days 1 and
2 of the Novena Mass for the Feast of St.
Andrew)By Karen Ann M. Phoa
The SAAP Community celebrated the 1st day of Novena of masses with our beloved Parish Priest, Msgr. Dennis S. Odiver, as priest presider. In this celebration, we also had a Confessio Peccati et Laudis. At the beginning of the celebration, a Cross with the crucified Christ was brought in and placed at one side of the altar. This scene made some people feel teary eyed as the gesture of carrying the Cross with the crucified Christ makes one feel that one has to lift up all his/her burdens to God to be able to withstand all heavy burdens in life. As prayers and confession of sins (in general, by the pastors of the church, the laity, against social justice, against those who do not share our faith and against our call to be community of disciples) were recited, and the Kyrie was sung, candles were lighted by members of various organizations and ministries. This symbolic act shows how much we ask for the grace of sorrow for sins that are conscious and deep. Through this, we will commit ourselves to the path of true conversion and renewal.

St. Andrew Fiesta 2013stronger relationships as we walk together the path of evangelization. After the Mass, there was exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, while a Kumpisalang Bayan was held inside the church.
Day 2 of the Novena Mass was graced by Rev. Fr. Victor Y. Apacible, parish priest of the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He asked the people of SAAP: Do we live in a loving community? It is on this note that Fr. Vic taught us that the Sacrament of Confession is actually a celebration of God’s love, for it is after confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness that God rejoices and throws a party for us, His prodigal children, his lost sheep. When we fall into sin, we can stand up again and be on the road towards perfection. Fr. Vic also shared with us an article by Pope Francis. It is about PST, 3 simple words, very elementary in meaning, and yet becomes strange and unfamiliar words for adults. These are PLEASE, SORRY and THANK YOU. These will help us maintain and restore our relationships to be able to build a loving community. Before the mass ended, Fr. Vic challenged us to re-dedicate the use of our mobile phones. No more hate messages, obscene materials, useless information and junk, but instead, use it to spread love, care, the Good News of the Lord. We were asked also to dedicate and re-dedicate our lives to Jesus Christ.
May these lessons we learned from the first 2 Novena masses be our first steps toward the path to become Animated, Novel Disciples for Renewal, Evangelization and Works of charity, and then, we can finally declare with conviction...I am ANDREW!

1. When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron, King David made an agreement with them there before the LORD, and they _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ D A N N I T O E him king of Israel.”
