Catholic comic book series to hit bookstores

September 21, 2015, 8:41p.m. - A COMIC book series about young people battling the forces of evil will soon be available in bookstores nationwide.

"Patron Comics" revolves around the lives of teenagers who assist their priest-mentor in exorcism rites, as they do their best to solve their own personal struggles.

The 68-page comic book, written by pro-life advocate Anthony James Perez and published by Regina Caeli Publishing, aims to reinforce the Catholic faith and values among younger generations.

The comic book, which had the assistance of the Archdiocese of Manila’s exorcism ministry, will help dispel wrong notions about exorcism, Perez said.

A gift from Sierra Madre

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” -Epicurus, BC 341-270

IT WAS after the opening Misa de Gallo, when I saw that little girl, who was walking alone across the rough road of one of the summits of Sierra Madre. She was wearing a small stained white blouse, a navy blue skirt, and a threadbare pair of slippers. Although she was only seven then, she already taught me one of the most inspiring lessons that I will treasure forever.
