Acceptance of the Holy Cross, Ascent to Mount Samat Introductory reflection: In Roman Times, cross stands for barbaric cruelty. It was a horrible punishment used for criminals. Thus, the cross was a symbol of shame and a means for a long painful death. When Jesus unconditionally carried the cross and willingly accepted the crucifixion, He showed how much He loves us, how much He is willing to suffer for us. > |

“ … can I not do with you what this potter does?” (Jeremiah 18,6) “Where is Balanga?” This was what many people asked me after they learned of my appointment as Bishop of Balanga. Some were also curious to know where the name “Balanga” came from.> |
