TEN-TEN LAUDS OUTSTANDING LEADERS

“May we always remember; may we never forget,” Bishop Buddy started his homily in paying tribute to the father-son tandem, Don Belong and OM Beluco.  The word “Double Ten” (date October 10) was coined after the month of October and day 10, hence Double Ten, red-letter day to remember and honor the two great leaders responsible for the furtherance and growth of the IFI...

MIYERKULES NG ABO

Ash Wednesday is a reminder of our frailty to burst our pride, to remind us of what is important and of where our life is leading. There is repentance for our pride as we receive our ashes at Mass, but Lent is also hope-filled, as in our frailty we hope in God's merciful love. Our Lenten practices of increased prayer, fasting and almsgiving all serve to focus the mind and re-attune the heart, so that we can renew our friendship with the Lord. Life is filled with so much to do, and so much to distract us.

Message from the Chief Pastor to all clergy and congregations (CHRIST THE KING SUNDAY)

Bowing and kneeling to the greatest King today should remind us that Christ as King made Himself known not by means of power domination and violence. That He made us understand Him by His unconditional love, by willful sharing of Himself as a servant-leader who leads by being the last, who teach us both by His words and loving deeds, and who treats us not as subjects but friends. Let us also caution ourselves from temptation to bow before world’s rulers in contempt of the one true Ruler who has given us life and keeps us blessed throughout the days of our lives.

The Obispo Maximo's Message
on Easter April 9, 2023

Truly, “the resurrection is at the core of our beliefs as Christians. Without it, our faith is meaningless” (Joseph B. Wirthlin). But as we celebrate this joyful season, may it be clear to us as God’s people that Easter is not simply the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, it is largely our living out with him being the resurrected Lord so that we shall persist and endure to proclaim life and live out hope in our day to day living. Hence, in both gospels we heard the divine imperative to go and to tell others about the life that conquers death and the hope that defeats despair and the love that overcomes evil...

Create and Make in us New and Contrite Hearts

We ask then all members of the IFI community to take the Season of Lent as an opportunity to contemplate on what our Lord Jesus really did and continue to do for us through his passion and death on the cross and eventually through his resurrection. We need to see his work of salvation wrought for us and the way he is leading us towards the unity and presence of God almighty, the Father in heaven.
