Generous Living, Generous Giving
“For it is in giving that we receive.” ―St. Francis of Assisi
Back in June, we visited the Manresa suburb to distribute school supplies to 150 children. Four months later, we returned to see how they were doing in school and what they had learned from their older brothers and sisters, who tirelessly teach them prayers and songs. We were delighted to learn that the children can now pray the Holy Rosary in both Filipino and English. Some of them have even joined the children's choir and started training under the guidance of the Theotokos Singers. Thank you, Lord, for this amazing progress.
We are grateful to all the volunteers and sponsors who came together for this ongoing project for the children. The children have made great use of the school supplies you provided at the beginning of the school year, and they are excited about the food packs and goodies you have sent. We had to reschedule the activity a couple of times while gathering food pledges, but God works for the good of all who believe in Him, and we were finally able to carry out this outreach activity. They remembered you during the Living Beads Rosary and continue to pray for your well-being and ongoing success. May God reward you abundantly for the kindness in your hearts. Finally, congratulations to the Theotokos Singers on this well-executed project, and best wishes on your 9th anniversary!

In this weekend’s Gospel from Mark 9:30-37, Jesus offers a powerful lesson about humility and the value of children. As His disciples were arguing about who among them was the greatest, Jesus took a child, placed the child among them, and said, "Whoever serves one of these little children in My name serves Me." Jesus reminded us that true greatness in God's kingdom is not defined by status, power, or wealth, but by using what we have to care for the vulnerable—symbolized by children. It’s always a heartwarming experience to pray, eat, play, and interact with the little treasures at Mo. Spinelli in Tagaytay City. Thanks to our generous sponsors, we were able to provide their essential needs. And with the help of volunteers, we were able to smoothly facilitate all parts of the visit.
Thank you for welcoming and serving these children, and in doing so, welcoming and serving Jesus. A big thank you as well to the children and their sister-caregivers for allowing us the opportunity to care for and give back. You are all incredible! |
