Under Our Lady's Watchful Care


Last December 12 was the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was also a special day for the little parish called Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, located way out in the beautiful mountains of Bukidnon, in a simple place called Cabanglasan. Here is our prayer for them:

Nuestra Senora,

We pray that you continue to extend your watchful care
Over everyone living in this community in Cabanglasan
As well as over the different neighboring tribal communities of lumads.

May they be blessed with plentiful food and good health care
Access to learning opportunities as well as continued growth in Christian values
And may respect for their culture and heritage always be preserved.

May the Lord's light continue to shine also on the "shepherds" of the place
Keep the fire of their dedication to their mission burning in their hearts
So that they may continue to lead everyone to even greater love for you and your Son.

Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe,
We honor you and we thank you for your watchful care over this place.
Happy Feast Day!

hi angelo,
no, i am not from there. but we were fortunate to be introduced to the place/its mission. the place has a charm of its own, and God is present in a unique way in this 'sacred space' :=)
