Homilies at the EDSA Shrine. A great aid to prayer -- these homilies will move your heart and elevate your mind. The preparation that goes into each of Msgr. Villegas' homilies is evident in the soundness of doctrine, the coherence of ideas, and the propriety of expression. One can more easily partake of the fruit of Msgr. Villegas' prayer and the outpouring of his priestly spirit. These homilies can feed our own life of prayer and make us grow in our spiritual life. Msgr. Socrates B. Vellas is the Rector of the Mary Queen of Peace, Our Lady of EDSA Shrine. The Shrine, erected on December 8, 1989, is dedicated to peace as exemplified by the ourpouring of faith during the EDSA revolution of 1986, and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose intercession at that crucial stage of the Philippines' history showed her abiding, immeasurable love and care for her children.
i love my bishop! Go Archbishop Soc! Bayani at Banal! The title i think is from the famous line of Mother Teresa of Calcutta: "Give us Jesus, Only Jesus, Always Jesus!" This was said by her when she was asked to make a speech in public. Her speech lasted only for how many seconds containing only one sentence; yet the clamor and applause lasted for quite a while! Pray for us Mother Teresa, now a Saint!
