Where The Poor Get More Than Enough

By Richelle Verdeprado

God’s ways in how He connects people with each other never fail to amaze me. Every time I discover links and relationships among mankind, I find myself so convinced that we are living in an interconnected world. That amazement and sense of being convinced is the same feeling I experienced when Father Seán Coyle asked me to interview Father Brian Gore to know more about Sister Felicitas B. de Lima DSA who was among the ten people the Coalition of Services of the Elderly (COSE) awarded at St Paul College, Quezon City, on 5 October. 

A Missionary From Colombia

By Richelle Verdeprado

The author, from Himamaylan, Negros Occidental, is a third-year student at the University of Negros Occidental – Recoletos (UNO-R), Bacolod City, taking up social work. She has been involved in campus journalism since her elementary days and in her spare time works as an editorial assistant in the Misyon office.

Opportunities to decide how they will spend their lives come in different ways for different people. More than just recognizing these chances is the permanent joy brought about by listening and responding to them according to God’s plan. For Sr Adela V. Paternina TC, her opportunity to decide how she would live the rest of her life came to her 57 years ago, when she chose to enter the Capuchin Tertiary Sisters of the Holy Family, a religious congregation founded at the shrine of Our Lady of Montiel in Benaguacil, Valencia, Spain, by Bishop Luis José María Amigó y Ferrer OFM Cap. Now, as her 78th birthday is approaching, she sees her life as simpler but more real than it was before.

A Child Redeemed Is A Generation Saved

The author, who is majoring in social work at the University of Negros Occidental–Recoletos (UNO-R), Bacolod City, tells how her life has been transformed by a group of Sisters who live their Catholic faith with the belief that ‘A Child Redeemed is a Generation Saved’. Richelle has been involved in campus journalism since elementary school.

It takes brave and selfless hearts to create history that is meant to change the lives of thousands of people around the world. However, the day in 1982 when a group of Capuchin Tertiary Sisters of the Holy Family stepped on Philippine soil for the very first time was more than just creating history. They were transforming the future. I can really feel this - for I am one of those blessed girls whose lives have been changed and whose future has been transformed because, once upon a time, there were brave and selfless hearts who dared to start their mission despite all odds.
