http://amnuningbie.com PARIKAKAPATAD IS BROTHERHOOD IN THE PRIESTHOOD. IT IS A PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL PROGRAM CONCEIVED AND INITIATED BY FR RAUL DE LOS SANTOS TOGETHER WITH BISHOP BOBET MALLARI, DD AND FR PAUL VELASCO OF THE COMMISSION ON CLERGY FORMATION. IT WAS FACILITATED BY BISHOP GERRY ALMINAZA, DD, AUXILIARY BISHOP OF JARO, AND CYNTHIA C. BAGA, FOUNDING PARTNER AND SENIOR ASSOCIATE OF G.A.M.O.T, RESOURCES INC.THIS THIRD GROUP CONSISTS OF UPPER MIDDLE AGE PAMPANGA CLERGY RANGING FROM 48 TO 55 YEARS OLD AND ORDAINED PRIESTS 25 TO 27 YEARS IN THE MINISTRY. THE THEME OF THE PROGRAM FOR THIS GROUP IS "ENCOUNTERING & UNDERSTANDING THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IN US." FINDING THE WAY FROM CRISIS TO OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH PRAYER, ENCOUNTER, WORK AND STUDY. IT IS BRINGING OUR FEARS INTO CONSCIOUSNESS AND PUTTING THEM AT THE CENTER WITH GOD. MIDLIFE IS OUR SECOND SPRINGTIME OF LIFE. IT IS A NEW WAY OF DEALING WITH REALITIES. OUR SPIRIT INSIDE US IS MADE NEW EVERYDAY EVEN THOUGH OUR BODY BECOMES WEAK. CONVERSION REQUIRES THAT WE HEAR GOD IN A NEW WAY IN OUR LIFE. AND THIS EXPERIENCE IS OFTEN PRECEDED BY CRISIS. THE GOAL OF OUR JOURNEY IS TO INTEGRATE THE WHITE OF OUR PUBLIC SELF AND THE BLACK OF OUR SHADOWS INTO A SHADE OF GRAY. WE NEED TO BEFRIEND OUR SHADOWS TO DEVELOP OUR UNLOVED AND REJECTED SELF. OUR TASK IS TO DISCOVER THE GOLD IN THE MIRE AS WELL AS THE GOOD POTENTIALS IN EVIL OPPOSITES; TO ACCEPT THE UNACCEPTABLE; AND TO SEE THE DESIRABLE IN THE UNDESIRABLE. ST TERESA OF AVILA SAID, " WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE DARK NIGHT OF YOUR SOUL, BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS PAINTING YOUR PORTRAIT ACCORDING TO HIS IMAGE." LUID YA Y APUNG CETU, APUNG BOBET, APUNG AMBU AT DING PARING KAPAMPANGAN. MABUHAY!
