“IN YOUR CHURCH OH LORD WE WANT TO BE, IN YOUR CHURCH OH LORD WE FOLLOW YOU …”
This is the song that resounded loudly in our hearts yesterday. Every March 14 we gratefully celebrate being "daughters of the Church" but yesterday it had a special connotation.
The Philippines celebrates 500 years of Christianity. The jubilee year will solemnly open on April 4, Solemnity of the Resurrection, but yesterday March 14, the Filipino community in Rome and with them all Filipinos throughout the world celebrated a Eucharist presided over by Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Our community unites in prayer and joy participating in the online Eucharist, feeling we, all are brothers and sisters, all united in the same family: The universal Church, our house and home.
Mª Rosa Molas and the first 11 sisters felt it that way, that is how they lived it. Today 164 years later, the Consolation family gratefully professes the same love to the Church.
“In your Church oh Lord we want to be,
In your Church oh Lord we follow you …”
