TALLO (3) A PAGSIRMAK A MANGLALAYLAY TI PAMMATIM ITI DIOS

*1. No agin-inut nga awanen ti orasmo para iti Dios.*
Idi, nagaget ka nga agkararag, dumngeg iti Sao ti Dios, ken umasideg kenkuana. Ngem bayat nga agbayag, ad-adu ti rasonmon ngem iti oras para iti Apo. Mariribukanka iti problema, trabaho, ragragsak, wenno nainlubongan banag, agingga iti dika mapupiutan a manmano ka laengen nga agkararag. Laglagipem, saan a dagus ti panagadayon ti tao iti Dios. Rumsua daytoy iti in-inut a pannakapukaw ti oras ken atension para kenkuana.
📖 _“Umadanikayo iti Dios, ket umasidegto Isuna kadakayo.” — Santiago 4:8_

*2. No kaykayatmon ti basol ngem ti panagtungpal iti Dios.*
No ti dakes saanen a mangriribuk iti konsensiam, makadadakes ti pusom. Idi, nasakit kenka no agbasolka, ngem ita nasanay kan. Ti basol kasla apuy. No ay-ayamem a kanayon, in-inut a puoranna ti relasionmo iti Dios. Uray saanka a dagus a madadael, mariknamto nga awanen ti kappia, ragragsak, ken presensia ti Apo iti biagmo.
📖 _“Ti manglemmeng iti basolna saanto nga agballigi, ngem ti mangipudno ken tumallikud iti dayta ket maasian.” — Proverbio 28:13_

*3. No saan mo nga mariknan ti kasapulam iti Dios.*
No panunotem a kabaelam a bukodmo, rugi ti panagtangken ti pusom. Ipagarupmo a kontroladom ti amin, ngem ti kinapudnona, bayat nga umadayoka iti Dios, napnoka iti bannog, buteng, ken kinawana iti direksion. Ti tao saan a pinarsua tapno agbiag a naisina iti Namarsua kenkuana. Uray kasano ka kapigsa, umayto ti aldaw a madlaw mo a kurangen ti amin no awan ti Dios iti sentro ti biagmo.
📖 _“Siak ti puon ti ubas, dakayo dagiti sanga. Ti agtalinaed kaniak ket Siak kenkuana agbunga iti adu, ta awan ti maaramidanyo no naisina kayo kaniak.” (Juan 15:5)

John 12:13
"Took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him. and cried out: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' The King of Israel."

Marami ang nagiging hadlang para sa ating pagsunod sa kagustuhan ng ating panginoon. Minsan ang sarili nating pamilya sila pa ang nagiging dahilan kung bakit hindi tayo nagiging aktibo sa paggawa ng ating mga tungkulin sa Dios.. ngunit anong sinabi ni Jesus???

MATEO 19:
27 Nagsalita naman si Pedro, “Tingnan po ninyo, iniwan namin ang lahat at kami'y sumunod sa inyo. Ano po naman ang para sa amin?”

28 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Tandaan ninyo: kapag naghahari na ang Anak ng Tao sa kanyang trono ng kaluwalhatian sa bagong daigdig, kayong sumunod sa akin ay uupo din sa labindalawang trono upang mamuno sa labindalawang lipi ng Israel. 29 Kapag iniwan ninuman ang kanyang tahanan, mga kapatid na lalaki at babae, ama, ina, [asawa,][c] mga anak, o mga lupain alang-alang sa akin ay tatanggap siya ng sandaang ibayo at pagkakalooban siya ng buhay na walang hanggan. 30 Ngunit maraming nauuna na magiging huli, at maraming nahúhulí na mauuna.”

The soft morning light of October 19, 2025, fell gently over the grounds of the Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ, Ilocos Sur–Abra Archdiocese, Salcedo Chapter, as the members gathered with hearts full of gratitude. This year marked their 2nd Church and Convent Consecration Anniversary, celebrated with the theme “From Sacrifice to Sanctuary: Celebrating Faith, Perseverance, and God’s Grace.”

What began as a simple aspiration years ago has grown into a sanctuary filled with stories of devotion, perseverance, and shared work. On this special day, those stories came alive once again.

The celebration opened with a solemn High Mass—a moment of quiet reflection and thanksgiving. As the church choir’s hymns resonated through the corners, many were reminded of how far the community had come, from small gatherings to a thriving congregation strengthened by faith.

The program that followed brought warmth and joy to the occasion. Church leaders shared inspiring messages, intermission performers filled the venue with energy, also watching again the memories from the Church and Convent Consecration last October 2023,and the raffle draws added excitement to the event. Each moment reflected not just festivity, but the unity and fellowship that define the Salcedo Chapter.

For many members, the anniversary served as more than a commemoration. It was a reaffirmation of the sacrifices made, the challenges overcome, and the abundant grace that continues to guide the community. It became a day of renewal—of faith, friendship, and commitment to serving God, AMA RSM.

Program committee expressed heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed their time, effort, and resources to make the event meaningful and successful. Their collective dedication continues to shape the chapter’s growth and strengthen its mission.

As the celebration drew to a close, the spirit of the theme remained ever-present. From sacrifice to sanctuary, the Salcedo Chapter stands as a testament to what a united and faithful community can build together.
