To bring Good News to the poor and oppressed -- this was Jesus’ mission, the very reason why he was sent (Cf. Lk 4:18, 43). It is also the very reason why the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus established the St. Hannibal Empowerment Center, Inc. (SHEC) which strives to continue Jesus’ mission by empowering the poor through an integral and holistic program comprising education, housing, livelihood, youth formation, ecology, justice and peace and values formation. To date, SHEC has already awarded 390 housing units to the poor families of Pasay City. The success of the program inspired His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, DD to initiate the establishment of SHEC at Baseco, Tondo. The Cardinal also actively supports the programs of SHEC through hisPondo ng Pinoy Foundation. |

June usually marks the start of the rainy season. While God's blessings pour like rain on all, we ought to keep in mind that the poor and oppressed have a special place in God's compassionate heart. It is mainly for them in fact that Jesus preached the Kingdom and its Good News to the poor (see Mk 1:14-15; Lk 4:16-21). And the challenge of Jesus for those who get very wet with God's downpour of blessings is to share their resources with the less fortunate. This, needless to say, is an indispensable criterion for salvation (see Mk 10:17-27; Mt. 25:31-46; Acts 2:43-47).

 One of the key solutions to our worsening ecological crisis is authentic care for creation through the observance of eco-friendly practices. This is not a mere response to a passing problem. It should rather be a way of life, for salvation after all is not only for humans but for creation as well. Kingdom practice then necessarily includes ecological advocacy. Accordingly, Fr. Orville Cajigal, RCJ, environment committee head, organized a series of Solid Waste Management Seminar (SWM) for Phase 3 members last June 5 and 12 respectively at SHEC Training Center. |

Edited by: Zacri Damo Jr.  Jesus often retired to quiet, deserted places in order to connect to his Father in prayer. In doing so, he was always energized and refreshed. As a result, he tirelessly proclaimed the Kingdom of God, energizing and refreshing people, especially the poor and oppressed. As followers of Jesus, the Kingdom workers of SHEC (administration and staff) energized themselves through a recollection held at Virgoni Resort, Pulilan, Bulacan last June 3, 2010. Spirit-filled and Spirit-driven as ever, the zealous apostles to the margins returned to the slums to continue working for God’s compassion and justice. The recollection was organized by Fr. Orville Cajigal, RCJ. |

May is a month when flowers of rare beauty bloom. In the perspective of faith, routine and ordinary events could be flowers of rare beauty manifesting God’s blessing-filled acts of justice, compassion and liberation. God’s wonders indeed never cease, and they are here to stay so long as there are zealous Kingdom workers (see Mt 10:5-7). |
