  • Good morning po Fr. Just would like to ask the meaning about of the sun-like crown na karaniwan po nating makikita sa mga imahe nang mga saints. Ginagamit po kasi ito nang mga anti-catholic to prove that we adopted the paganism. Salamat po. Merry Christmas.

  • BROD IT IS CALLED "HALO OF SAINTS" OR "THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS" OR "THE CROWN OF LIFE" OR "CROWN OF GLORY". IT MANIFESTS THAT THE PERSON HAS REACHED THE HEIGHT OF SANCTITY THROUGH THE GRACE OF CHRIST:
    
    Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
    
    1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
    
    Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
    
    2 Tim 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
    
    Phil 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

  • 1 Co 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
    
    THE FACT THAT THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS ARE TOO IGNORANT OF THIS SHOWS THEIR DEEP IGNORANCE OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
