Dear Anonymous,
Ang ating kaugaliang Catolico hinggil sa pag-alala sa patay ay nakabase sa buhay ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo at dahil dito ay nakabatay sa Banal na Kasulatan.
ANG PAG-ALALA NG 40 DAYS O APAT NA PUNG ARAW ay ibinase sa 40 DAYS NA INILAGI NG PANGINOONG JESUS DITO SA LUPA MULA NG SIYA AY MAMATAY AT MABUHAY HANGGANG SA SIYA AY UMAKYAT SA LANGIT. Ito ay pinatotohanan sa atin ni San Lucas:
Act 1:1-3 "Ang unang kasaysayan na ginawa ko, Oh Teofilo, ay tungkol sa lahat na pinasimulang ginawa at itinuro ni Jesus, Hanggang sa araw na tanggapin siya sa kaitaasan, pagkatapos na makapagbigay siya ng mga utos sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo, sa mga apostol na kaniyang hinirang; Na sa kanila nama'y napakita rin siyang buhay, sa pamamagitan ng maraming mga katunayan, pagkatapos na siya'y makapaghirap, na napakikita sa kanila sa loob ng APAT NA PUNG ARAW, at nagpahayag ng mga bagay tungkol sa kaharian ng Dios"
Dahil si Cristo ay nanatili sa ating piling ng Apat na Pung Araw bago umakyat sa langit. Tayong mga Catolico ay nag-gugugol ng mataimtim na panalangin para sa mga kaluluwa ng mga namatay ng Apat na Pung araw.
Ang pananalangin para sa kaligtasan ng iba ay hindi masama. At hindi rin masama ang gawin ito ng Apat na Pung Araw. Kasi ang mga banal na tao ay ginawa ito:
Exodus 24:18 "At pumasok si Moises sa gitna ng ulap, at sumampa sa bundok: at si Moises ay natira sa bundok na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi."
SI MOISES AY NANALANGIN PARA SA BAYANG ISRAEL SA TUKTOK NG BUNDOK NG SINAI SA LOOB NG 40 DAYS.
Numbers 13:25 [KJV] "And they returned from searching of the land after forty days."
ANG MGA ISRAELITA AY NAGSUGO NG MGA SPY PARA TIGNAN ANG BAYANG PANGAKO NG 40 DAYS, BAGO SILA PUMASOK DITO. Ito ay kumakatawan sa Bayan ng Dios na bago pumasok sa kalangitan ay nananalangin ang Bayan sa loob ng 40 Days.
1 Kings 19:8 "At siya'y bumangon, at kumain, at uminom, at siya'y yumaon sa lakas ng pagkaing yaon, na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi hanggang sa Horeb sa bundok ng Dios."
SI PROFETA ELIAS, TULAD NI MOISES AY UMAKYAT DIN NG BUNDOK NG HOREB [SINAI] UPANG MANALANGIN NG 40 DAYS.
Hindi lamang mga profeta ang gumagawa nito. Ito rin ay isinagawa mismo ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo:
Mateo 4:2 "At nang siya'y makapagayunong apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi..."
Ito rin ay maaaring gawin ng mga tao para sa kapatawaran ng mga KASALANAN:
Jonas 3:4-10 [Synthesis] Nang ianunsiyo ni Propeta Jonas na 40 days na lang at wawasakin na ang Niniveh, ang mga tao ay nagsipagdasal. Nagsuot ng sako at naglagay ng mga abo sa katawan. Maging hari at mga hayop ay nag-ayuno at nanalangin. Dahil dito ay hindi winasak ang Niniveh.
ANG 40 DAYS PRAYER NATIN SA KALULUWA AY SPECIAL NA PANALANGIN PARA SA KAPATAWARAN NG MGA KASALANAN NG NAMATAY. Tayo ay dumudulog sa Dios na linisin at patawarin ang kanyang pagkakasala tulad ng ginawa niya sa mga taga Nineveh.
ANG NOVENA O PANANALANGIN NG 9 NA ARAW
Ang 9 days na pananalangin ay nakabase naman sa bilang ng araw mula PAG-AKYAT SA LANGIT NI JESUS hanggang sa PENTEKOSTES NA PAGPANAOG NG ESPIRITU SANTO.
Ang Pentecostes ay 50 days after the Death-Resurrection of the Lord. Si Mama Mary at ang mga Apostoles ay naiwan sa Jerusalem sa pananalangin from Ascension to the Descent of the Holy Spirit.
ANG SALITANG PENTECOSTES AY HANGO SA WIKANG GRIEGO NA: Ancient Greek πεντηκοστή [ἡμέρα], pentekostē [hēmera], "the fiftieth [day]".
At ang 9 days na iyan ay naging espesyal sa ating mga Cristiano liban lamang sa mga kamakailan lang lumitaw.
Bakit 9 days? Kung 40 ang Ascension at 40 ang Descent of the Holy Spirit dapat 10 days. KASI YUNG ISANG ARAW GINUGOL NILA SA PAGLALAKBAY MULA SA BUNDOK NG ASCENSION PABALIK SA CENACLE OR UPPER ROOM KUNG SAAN NAG-HULING HAPUNAN AT NAGPAKITA ANG PANGINOON.

ReplyDeleteHelow Fr. Abe.. may tanong lng po ako tungkol s "Secret of Fatima" may "4th secret" po bah Fr n na reveal c Mama Mary ky Sister Lucy? Kong my Copy po kayo ng 3rd secret of Fatima pwede pong paki post Fr.?
ReplyDeletesalamat po ng marami Fr.Abe
Dear Janesa,
ReplyDeleteAng buong text ng Third Secret of Fatima ay iniutos ni Pope John Paul the Great na ilathala nuong Great Jubilee 2000. Mismong si Josef Cardinal Ratzinger na ngayon ay Pope Benedict XVI na at si Cardinal Bertone, now Cardinal Secretary of State ang nagpahayag sa publico ng nasabing documento.
Subalit, hanggang ngayon may mga taong nagsasabi na meron pa raw Fourth Secret.
Sa aking palagay ay sobra na iyan. Masyado na silang gumagawa ng mga Conspiracy Theories. There is no reason for Pope John Paul the Great and Pope Benedict XVI to hide something or to lie about the matter. I TRUST OUR POPES MORE THAN THE COSPIRARCY THEORIES ADVOCATES.
Here is the texts of the FATIMA PROPHECIES:
ReplyDeleteFirst secret
The first secret was a vision of Hell:
Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear. The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant. How can we ever be grateful enough to our kind heavenly Mother, who had already prepared us by promising, in the first Apparition, to take us to heaven. Otherwise, I think we would have died of fear and terror. [Santos, Fatima in Lucia's Own Words I (2003), pg. 123]
Second secret
The second secret is a statement that World War I would end and goes on to predict another war, World War II during the reign of a Pope Pius XI, should men continue offending God and should Russia not convert. The second half requests that Russia be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart:
You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light*, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.[Santos, Fatima in Lucia's Own Words I (2003), pgs. 123-124]
The third part of the secret was allegedly written down "by order of His Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and the Most Holy Mother ". . . on 3 January 1944.[The Message of Fatima" from the Vatican]. In 1943, Lúcia fell ill with influenza and pleurisy, which had killed her cousins. For several months, she was sure she was going to die. Bishop Silva, visiting her on 15 September 1943 while she was bed-ridden, first suggested that she write the third secret down to ensure that it would be recorded in the event of her death. Lucia was hesitant to do so, however. She was under strict obedience according to her Carmelite vows, but when she received the secret, she had heard Mary say not to reveal it. For a time, she was in a quandary as to whose orders took precedence. Finally, in mid-October, Bishop Silva sent her a letter containing a direct order to record the secret, and Lúcia obeyed. In June 1944, the sealed envelope containing the third secret was delivered to Silva, where it stayed until 1957, when it was finally delivered to Rome.[Zimdars-Swartz, Sandra L., Encountering Mary (1991), pgs. 203-206.]
ReplyDeleteIt was announced by Cardinal Sodano on 13 May 2000, 83 years after the first apparition of the Lady to the children in the Cova da Iria, that the Third Secret would finally be released. In his announcement, Cardinal Sodano implied that the secret was about the persecution of Christians in the 20th century that culminated in the failed assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II on 13 May 1981.[Address of Cardinal Sodano Regarding the "Third Part" of the Secret of Fatima at the Conclusion of the Solemn Mass, 13 May 2000]
The text of the Third Secret was published on 26 June 2000:
ReplyDeleteTHE THIRD SECRET
J.M.J.
The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 May 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.
Tuy-3-1-1944.[12]
________________
Along with the text of the secret, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger published a theological commentary,[13] in which he states that:
"A careful reading of the text of the so-called third 'secret' of Fatima ... will probably prove disappointing or surprising after all the speculation it has stirred. No great mystery is revealed; nor is the future unveiled."
After explaining the differences between public and private revelations, he cautions people not to see in the message a determined future event:
"The purpose of the vision is not to show a film of an irrevocably fixed future. Its meaning is exactly the opposite: it is meant to mobilize the forces of change in the right direction. Therefore we must totally discount fatalistic explanations of the “secret”, such as, for example, the claim that the would-be assassin of 13 May 1981 was merely an instrument of the divine plan guided by Providence and could not therefore have acted freely, or other similar ideas in circulation. Rather, the vision speaks of dangers and how we might be saved from them."
He then moves on to talk about the symbolic nature of the images, noting that:
"The concluding part of the 'secret' uses images which Lucia may have seen in devotional books and which draw their inspiration from long-standing intuitions of faith."
As for the meaning of the message:
"What remains was already evident when we began our reflections on the text of the 'secret': the exhortation to prayer as the path of 'salvation for souls' and, likewise, the summons to penance and conversion."
