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.
Restore the Christ in ‘Christ-mas’
SOME 2,000 years after Jesus Christ’s birth, do you still know why Filipinos celebrate Advent, decorate their homes, sing Christmas carols, go to midnight Mass, eat noche buena, and, when the clock strikes 12 on Christmas eve, greet each other “Merry Christmas”?
Or amid the hype and fanfare, have you forgotten the real meaning of Christmas?
In the Philippines, celebrating Christmas starts way ahead of other countries. Enter the so-called “Ber” months and Christmas lights, lanterns, and other Christmas decor start to sprout everywhere.
Then Christmas-themed advertisements start to fill the media and commercial establishments. One toothpaste commercial in the past even had the traditional Midnight Mass as a setting for girl-watching.
Could things get any worse for Christmas?
