Dedication to God's Work

Posted by Rosiebelle Moreno at 1:30 AM

The Great Jubilee is, therefore, not simply a time for intensified practices of
piety and Church visitation. It is call for renewal and rededication as a people of God. The ways for renewal and rededication may be summarized in seven R's. These are:

  • Release from slavery
Today, many people still live in bondage; slavery to poverty, to drugs, to fear;
slavery to greed for power, money, fame; slavery to junk food, alcohol and carbonated drinks, cigarettes; slavery to pornographic magazines, a life of indolence, and many others. What can you do to release yourself and others from the slavery you have put upon yourselves?

  • Recall of debts
Our country is shackled by foreign debt. What can you do for yourself, your
family and your community to lessen the need of our country to depend on foreign loans to fund its projects?

  • Return of the land
Our country is rich in natural resources but if we are wasteful and if we do not
take care of these resources, we will surely run out of them. What can you do to maintain , if not enrich, our natural resources?

  • Rest for the earth
God gave us a beautiful world. But, today, almost anywhere we go, we see
signs of grave pollution. How can you influence others to develop habits that are environment friendly?

  • Respect for the family
The family is the basic unit of society. Do you have a harmonious
relationship with members of your family? How can you encourage other uphold family values?

  • Re- empowerment of the people
Both PCP II and PCM II stress greater involvement of the laity. How can you
participate more actively in the activities of your parish?

  • Renewal of the Missionary Spirit
John Paul II challenges us to be the "light of Asia." We who have
been the recipients of God's graciousness, are likewise challenged to share this with others.
