Prayer for the Synod on Synodality

We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name.

With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts;

Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder.

Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions.

Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.

All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, forever and ever.

Amen.

Nagabarog kami sa imong atubangan, O Balaang Espiritu, sa among panagtigum diha sa imong ngalan.

Ikaw lamang ang among bugtong nga giya; pabilin sa pagpuyo sulod sa among mga kasingkasing. Itudlo kanamo ang dalan nga kinahanglan namong subayon ug unsaon namo pagpadayon.

Kami mga maluya ug makasasala, ayaw itugot nga kami magpasiugda'g kagubot. Ayaw itugot nga ang kawalay-kasayuran magbira kanamo ngadto sa sayop nga dalan, ni ang pagkamapihigon mohaylo sa among mga lihok.

Himoa nga diha kanimo makaplagan namo ang among kahiusahan, aron kami managkauban nga nagapanaw padulong sa kinabuhing walay katapusan ug dili mapapag-hilayo sa dalan sa kamatuoran ug sa katarung.

Kining tanan among gipangayo Kanimo nga nagapamuhat sa tanang panahon ug dapit, diha sa panaghiusa sa Amahan ug sa Anak, hangtud sa kahangturan. Amen.

The double-faced priesthood: religiopolitical

Except for those steadfast to the True Doctrine and Catholic Tradition, the priesthood nowadays is getting double-faced.

Politics or religion -- religion or politics?

The clergy ends up embracing the religiopolitical mix-up known as "liberation theology."

Religion AND politics in one in the name of priesthood!

That is, serving both "God and mammon."

You cannot, however, serve two masters at the same time.

"Either you hate one or love the other."

Either you hate (religion or priesthood) or you love (politics).

Thereby, we hear political speeches (critical to the government) delivered in the pulpits.

Or, political articles and books penned by the clergy.

And clerical involvement in rallies and demonstrations in the streets against the government.

After Second Vatican Council, the priesthood has evolved from Tridentine Latin discipline that emphasizes prayer, penance and the administration of the sacraments into two types: diocesan and "religious" that both have exhibited leaning on "liberation theology."

The diocesan clergy of the Archdiocese of Davao and religious congregations such as the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (commonly known as "Redemptorists") have this religiopolitical training in the seminaries before ordination to the priesthood.

Does the political inclination of men in cassocks make them vulnerable to becoming advocates to the coming new church system that is political in nature -- minus the aspect of religion, mainly the eradication of Eucharistic celebrations?

The priesthood is a religious matter, a vocation to PRAY and MAKE SACRIFICES in behalf of the people.

What takes place, instead, it is the PEOPLE (at least, a few of these faithfuls) who do the religious things of PRAYERS and SACRIFICES for the conversion of the clergy: from being politicians in white robes to men of religion, men of God.

Leave these socio-cultural and economic-political concerns to street activism, that is the role social activists have to play.

Why is the government erring?

It is because the current state of the priesthood does no longer carry out their Divine Office and religious duties as priests but are busybodies in the political discussions.

Their ways are "man's ways" to change deviant government leaders, government policies and statutes.

Their ways of solving social injustice and oppression are "band aid solutions," a symptomatic treatment rather than addressing the root cause of the problems and issues. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. (Isaiah 55: 8)

The priesthood is a calling for the elite few to stand in the gap between people and God Who ALONE can make a good government, a "government of the people, by the people, for the people."

Crusade Prayer 46: Free me from the chains of Satan

If you are into witchcraft and any demonic practices and desire deliverance, pray this Heaven-composed prayer wholeheartedly:

O Jesus, I am lost. I am confused and feel like a prisoner caught in a web I cannot escape from. I trust You, Jesus, to come to my aid and free me from the chains of Satan and his demons.

Help me for I am lost. I need Your Love to give me the strength to believe in You and trust in You, so that I can be saved from this evil and be shown the Light -- so I can find peace, love and happiness at last.

Amen.

Crusade Prayer 104: Free this soul from slavery

After I prayed this prayer when the Lord put a burden into my soul to pray for Lad_ Ga_a and M_ley Cy_us at the height of their careers and forgot about it, I have been graced to see the spiritual progress in both Hollywood artists through social media [the latter who promoted lesbianism is reconciled with her boyfriend and the former who finally abandons her involvement to the Illuminati where she sold her soul in exchange for fame]. If you know of somebody who "has abandoned their soul to Satan," please intercede for him or her using this prayer from Heaven:

Dearest Jesus, I present to You the soul of my brother and sister [name them here], who has abandoned their soul to Satan.

Take this soul and redeem it in Your Holy Eyes.

Free this soul from slavery to the beast and bring it eternal salvation. Amen.
