It only takes a spark to get a fire going, And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing; That's how it is with God's Love, Once you've experienced it, You spread the love to everyone You want to pass it on.
"HOLY HEROES" Banal na Bayani "Holy Heroes" is a formation guide composed of different modules for the Year of the Laity (December 2013-November 2014). With the theme, Called to be Saints, sent forth as Heroes, "Holy Heroes" formation program is supposed to touch and move the hearts, as well as hone the minds of the laity towards the renewal of their faith. "Holy Heroes" is a journey of faith rooted in the sacraments of baptism and confirmation, inculcating the values of heroes who offered their lives for our freedom and the modern day ones who live out their faith through heroic deeds in their ordinary life. Moreover, models of faith and discipleship led by our Mother Mary, call us to a process of seriously becoming holy in our faith and heroes in our deeds. In the end, the two become one for it is the same Spirit that moves the two calls, being a saint and a hero. That is the Spirit of God, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit that moves us to become a Holy Hero. The Formation Team of Holy Heroes does not claim ownership of the contents of this formation program. Most of them came from the very rich resources of Church documents, including the Scriptures, and from other writings of holy heroes, holy and brave men and women who have shared their works and examples generously. The Holy Heroes Formation Team discerned on what materials to include, and arranged them in way that the Spirit can flow through them in the actual sessions. Moreover, they added some of their own reflections and thoughts, creativity and style so that the whole program can be more useful to everyone and get the best benefits from them especially the ones we are celebrating and honoring: the Laity. "Holy Heroes: Called to be Saints...Sent forth as Heroes" is a Formation Program for the Year of the Laity by the Episcopal Commission on the Laity - Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). Some of the images found in this module were taken from the collection of Marcello Silvestri, a well-established Italian artist dedicated to evangelization through art. Painting on religious themes is for him a spiritual experience and a vocation. Some images were also taken from the powerpoint presentations of Rev. Fr. Paolo O. Pirlo, SHMI, who published a book under the Sons of the Holy Mary Immaculate (SHMI) Quality Catholic Publications (QCP) entitled "The Apostles' Creed". Some images/illustrations were taken from the internet.

All the turmoil that exhausts me is brought to bear on this great love. No resistance or complaint is heard as I lean upon Gods welcome. There is gladness for my coming. There is comfort for my pain. I lean, and lean, and lean upon this heart that hurts with me. Strength lifts the weight of my distress. Courage wraps around my troubles. No miracle of instant recovery. No taking away of lifes burdens. Yet, there is solace for my soul, and refuge for my exiled tears.

Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch -- and withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire and are burnt.

(3) PSALM-PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS How blessed are those whose offence is forgiven, whose sin blotted out. How blessed are those to whom Yahweh imputes no guilt, whose spirit harbours no deceit. I said not a word, but my bones wasted away from groaning all the day; Day and night your hand lay heavy upon me; my heart grew parched as stubble in summer drought. I made my sin known to you, did not conceal my guilt. I said, I shall confess my offence to Yahweh. And you, for your part, took away my guilt, forgave my sin. That is why each of your faithful ones prays to you in time of distress. Even if great floods overflow, they will never reach your faithful. You are a refuge for me, you guard me in trouble, with songs of deliverance you surround me. I shall instruct you and teach you the way to go; I shall not take my eyes off you. Be not like a horse or a mule; that does not understand bridle or bit; if you advance to master them, there is no means of bringing them near. Countless troubles are in store for the wicked, but one who trusts in Yahweh is enfolded in his faithful love. Rejoice in Yahweh, exult all you upright, shout for joy, you honest of heart. - PsALM 32
(4) WORD OF GOD JOHn 15: 9-14 I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Fathers commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete. This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you. No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. ALTERNATIVE SCRIPTURE YOUTH: Luke 9: 23-25 POOR: Matthew 5: 13-16 DISILLUSIONED CATHOLICS: John 21: 3-7 (5) REFLECTION

YOuTH: We are asked to carry our own crosses. Do you recognize and accept the crosses which you carry in life? In denying the enticements of the world, are you willing to lay down your life for Jesus and others? POOR: Being poor has many meanings. What other poverties do you see in the world around you? In your present situation, what is your poverty and what is it trying to tell you?

Dew drops radiant upon the wetness of grass give glory to the Wise Creator who sustains you Flower gardens, rushing streams, silent deserts, sing, sing, for the Dancer who rejoices in your midst Peoples of the planet, creatures of the universe, play before the Enlivener who delights in you And my soul, my soul, rise up and greet this day with gratitude, in a stance of humble remembering For all I am, and all I am called to be, is held in the hands of a Creator who daily loves me into life. - JOYcE Rupp (3) PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS God of mercy and compassion, deep within me is a longing to keep on renewing the love that you have bestowed upon me. I am sorry for the many times that I make myself busy about the many things that I consider important in life and ignore the equally important and probably more important than we thought they would be: our nourishment and renewal. You renew us everyday but we fail to recognize your constant love and care; You nourish us with your strength and energy that sustain us in our day to day struggles. To you Lord, we give thanks and guide us with your Spirit; so that we may continue to know the way to the perfect nourishment and renewal in your love. Amen. (4) WORD OF GOD LukE 1: 46-55 And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; because he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant. Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed, for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name, and his faithful love extends age after age to those who fear him. He has used the power of his arm, he has routed the arrogant of heart. He has pulled down princes from their thrones and raised high the lowly. He has filled the starving with good things, sent the rich away empty. He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his faithful love -according to the promise he made to our ancestors -- of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever. 6

Holy is the name of God, and compassion reaches from age to age for those who walk hand in hand with the everlasting One. You have shown power over death. You have humiliated those who believe they could destroy your living word.
You have enfeebled those who would rule by their own might and empowered the simple people who trust in you, O God who creates and companions. The anguished of heart are stilled and made whole again by this good news, and the arrogant are reduced to eternal confusion. You have come to the help of Israel, your faithful one, Israel who remembers you the God who saves... according to the history of our time with you...

No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I shall no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know the masters business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father. You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; so that the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name.

INTEGRATION Mi Ultimo Adios (My Last Farewell)
This 14-stanza poem of Jose Rizal talks about his Goodbyes to his dear Fatherland where his love is dedicated to. He wrote it on the evening before his execution. Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caressd Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, Gladly now I go to give thee this faded lifes best, And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. On the field of battle, mid the frenzy of fight, Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdoms plight, Tis ever the same, to serve our home and countrys need. I die just when I see the dawn break, Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Pourd out at need for thy dear sake To dye with its crimson the waking ray. My dreams, when life first opened to me, My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Were to see thy lovd face, O gem of the Orient sea From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; And sleep in thy bosom eternitys long night. If over my grave some day thou seest grow, In the grassy sod, a humble flower, Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below The touch of thy tenderness, thy breaths warm power. Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; And if on my cross a bird should be seen, Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest Let some kind soul o er my untimely fate sigh, And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest. Pray for all those that hapless have died, For all who have suffered the unmeasurd pain; For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain. And when the dark night wraps the graveyard around With only the dead in their vigil to see Break not my repose or the mystery profound And perchance thou mayst hear a sad hymn resound Tis I, O my country, raising a song unto thee. And even my grave is remembered no more Unmarkd by never a cross nor a stone Let the plow sweep through it, the spade turn it oer That my ashes may carpet earthly floor, Before into nothingness at last they are blown. Then will oblivion bring to me no care As over thy vales and plains I sweep; Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and air With color and light, with song and lament I fare, Ever repeating the faith that I keep. My Fatherland adord, that sadness to my sorrow lends Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last good-by! I give thee all: parents and kindred and friends For I go where no slave before the oppressor bends, Where faith can never kill, and God reigns eer on high! Farewell to you all, from my soul torn away, Friends of my childhood in the home dispossessed ! Give thanks that I rest from the wearisome day ! Farewell to thee, too, sweet friend that lightened my way; Beloved creatures all, farewell! In death there is rest!

Sa salin ni Andres Bonifacio
(Huling Paalam)
Pinipintuho kong Bayan ay paalam, Lupang iniirog ng sikat ng araw, mutyang mahalaga sa dagat Silangan, kaluwalhatiang sa amiy pumanaw. Masayang sa iyoy aking idudulot ang lanta kong buhay na lubhang malungkot; maging maringal man at labis alindog sa kagalingan mo ay aking ding handog. Sa pakikidigma at pamimiyapis ang alay ng ibay ang buhay na kipkip, walang agam-agam, maluag sa dibdib, matamis sa puso at di ikahapis. Saan man mautas ay dikailangan, cipres o laurel, lirio may patungan pakikipaghamok, at ang bibitayan, yaon ay gayon din kung hiling ng Bayan. Akoy mamamatay, ngayong namamalas na sa silinganan ay namamanaag yaong maligayang araw na sisikat sa likod ng luksang nagtabing na ulap. Ang kulay na pula kung kinakailangan na maitina sa iyong liway-way, dugo koy isabong at siyang ikinang ng kislap ng iyong maningning na ilaw Ang aking adhika sapul magkaisip ng kasalukuyang bata pang maliit, ay ang tanghaling ka at minsan masilip sa dagat Silangan hiyas na marikit. Natuyo ang luhang sa matay nunukal, taas na ang noot walang kapootan, walang bakas kunot ng kapighatian gabahid man dungis niyong kahihiyan.
Sa kabuhayang ko ang laging gunita maningas na aking ninanasa-nasa ay guminhawa ka ang hiyas ng diwa hingang papanaw ngayong biglang-bigla. pag hingang papanaw ngayong biglang-bigla. Ikawy guminhawa laking kagandahang akoy malugmok, at ikaw ay matanghal, hinigay malagot, mabuhay ka lamang bangkay koy masilong sa iyong Kalangitan. Kung sa libingan koy tumubong mamalas sa malagong damo mahinhing bulaklak, sa mga labi moy mangyayaring itapat, sa kaluluwa ko hatik ay igawad. At sa aking noo naway iparamdam, sa lamig ng lupa ng aking libingan, ang init ng iyong paghingang dalisay at simoy ng iyong paggiliw na tunay. Bayaang ang buwan sa akiy ititig ang iwanag niyang lamlam at tahimik, liwayway bayaang sa akiy ihatid magalaw na sinag at hanging hagibis. Kung sakasakaling bumabang humantong sa krus koy dumapo kahit isang ibon doon ay bayaan humuning hinahon at dalitin niya payapang panahon. Bayaan ang ningas ng sikat ng araw ulay pasingawin noong kainitan, magbalik sa langit ng boong dalisay kalakip ng aking pagdaing na hiyaw. Bayaang sino man sa katotang giliw tangisang maagang sa buhay pagkitil; kung tungkol sa akin ay may manalangin idalangin, Bayan, yaring pagka himbing.
15
Idalanging lahat yaong nangamatay, mangagatiis hirap na walang kapantay; mga ina naming walang kapalaran na inihihibik ay kapighatian. Ang mga baot pinapangulila, ang mga bilanggong nagsisipagdusa; dalanginin namang kanilang makita ang kalayaan mong, ikagiginhawa. At kung an madilim na gabing mapanglaw ay lumaganap na doon sa libingat tanging mga patay ang nangaglalamay, huwag bagabagin ang katahimikan. Ang kanyang hiwagay huwag gambalain; kaipalay maringig doon ang taginting, tunog ng gitarat salterioy mag saliw, ako, Bayan yaot kitay aawitin. Kung ang libingan koy limat na ng lahat at wala ng kurus at batang mabakas, bayaang linangin ng taong masipag, lupay asarolin at kauyang ikalat. At mga buto ko ay bago matunaw maowi sa wala at kusang maparam, alabok ng iyong latag ay bayaang siya ang babalang dooy makipisan.
Kung magka gayon nay aalintanahin na ako sa limot iyong ihabilin pagkat himpapawid at ang panganorin mga lansangan moy aking lilibutin. Matining na tunog ako sa dingig mo, ilaw, mga kulay, masamyong pabango, ang ugong at awit, pag hibik sa iyo, pag asang dalisay ng pananalig ko. Bayang iniirog, sakit niyaring hirap, Katagalugang ko pinakaliliyag, dinggin mo ang aking pagpapahimakas; diyay iiwan ko sa iyo ang lahat. Akoy patutungo sa walang busabos, walang umiinis at berdugong hayop; pananalig dooy di nakasasalot, si Bathala lamang dooy haring lubos. Paalam, magulang at mga kapatid kapilas ng aking kaluluwat dibdib mga kaibigan bata pang maliit sa aking tahanan di na masisilip. Pag pasasalamat at napahinga rin, paalam estranherang kasuyo kot aliw, paalam sa inyo, mga ginigiliw; mamatay ay siyang pagkakagupiling!

HANDOUT 3
INTEGRATION
Magnificat
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.

MODULE 1: Closing Prayer

(1) PRAYER PsALM 139:1-18, 23-24 O L ord, you have probed me, you know me: you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. My travels and my rest you mark; with all my ways you are familiar. Even before a word is on my tongue, LORD, you know it all. Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me. Such knowledge is beyond me, far too lofty for me to reach. Where can I hide from your spirit? From your presence, where can I flee? If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I lie down in Sheol, you are there too. If I fly with the wings of dawn and alight beyond the sea, Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand hold me fast. If I say, Surely darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light Darkness is not dark for you, and night shines as the day. Darkness and light are but one. You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mothers womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew; my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth. Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be. How precious to me are your designs, O God; how vast the sum of them! Were I to count, they would outnumber the sands; to finish, I would need eternity Probe me, God, know my heart; try me, know my concerns. See if my way is crooked, then lead me in the ancient paths. (2) CLOSING SONG YOu ARE MInE DAVId HAAs I will come to you in the silence I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice I claim you as My choice Be still, and know I am near I am hope for all who are hopeless I am eyes for all who long to see In the shadows of the night, I will be your light Come and rest in Me Chorus: Do not be afraid, I am with you I have called you each by name Come and follow Me I will bring you home I love you and you are mine I am strength for all the despairing Healing for the ones who dwell in shame All the blind will see, the lame will all run free And all will know My name Chorus: Do not be afraid, I am with you I have called you each by name Come and follow Me I will bring you home I love you and you are mine I am the Word that leads all to freedom I am the peace the world cannot give I will call your name, embracing all your pain Stand up, now, walk, and live Chorus: Do not be afraid, I am with you I have called you each by name Come and follow Me I will bring you home I love you and you are mine

(1) PRAYER THIS JESUS CHALLENGES ME I am FURIOUS and he tells me: FORGIVE! I am afraid, and he tells me: TAKE COURAGE! I have DOUBTS and he says to me: HAVE CONFIDENCE! I feel RESTLESS, and he says to me: BE CALM! I prefer to go, MY OWN WAY, and he tells me: COME AND FOLLOW ME I make MY OWN PLANS, and he says to me: FORGET ABOUT THEM! I aim towards MATERIAL GOODS, and he says LEAVE THEM BEHIND! I want SECURITY, and he says: I PROMISE YOU ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I like to live MY OWN LIFE, and he says: LOSE YOUR LIFE! I believe I AM GOOD, and he tells me GOOD IS NOT SUFFICIENT! I like to BE THE BOSS, and he says: SERVE! I like to COMMAND OTHERS, and he says: OBEY! I like to UNDERSTAND, and he says, BELIEVE! I like CLARITY, and he speaks to me in PARABLES. I like POETRY and he speaks to me in REALITIES. I lke my TRANQUILITY, and he likes me to be DISTURBED. I like VIOLENCE, and he says: PEACE BE WITH YOU! I draw the SWORD, and he says: PUT THAT AWAY! I think of REVENGE, and he says: OFFER THE OTHER CHEEK! I speak of ORDER, and he says: I HAVE COME TO BRING THE SWORD! I choose HATRED, and he says: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. I try to sow HARMONY, and he says: I HAVE COME TO CAST FIRE ON EARTH! I like to be the GREATEST, and he says: LEARN TO BE AS SMALL AS A CHILD! I like to remain HIDDEN, and he says: LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE! I look at the BEST PLACE and he says: SIT IN THE LAST BENCH! I like to be NOTICED, and he says: PRAY IN YOUR ROOM BEHIND LOCKED DOORS! No, I dont understand this Jesus. He provokes me. He confuses me. Like so many of his disciples 28
I, too, would like to follow another Master Who would be more certain and less demanding. But I experienced almost the same as Peter: I do not know of anyone else, WHO HAS THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE!

ZEZInHO, SCJ, BRAZIL (PROcLAIMInG HIs KInGdOM, JOHn FuEHLLEnBAcH, SVD, pp. 73-74) (2) CLOSING SONG BAYAn KO Ang bayan kong Pilipinas Lupain ng gintot bulaklak Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad Nag-alay ng gandat dilag At sa kanyang yumi at ganda Dayuhan ay nahalina Bayan ko, binihag ka Nasadlak sa dusa CHORUS Ibon mang may layang lumipad Kulungin mo at umiiyak Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag Ang di magnasang makaalpas Pilipinas kong minumutya Pugad ng luha at dalita Aking adhika Makita kang sakdal laya

(1) PRAYER God of the journey, we need a burning bush to set our hearts aflame with deep love of you. When the road of life seems long and tedious, when the dying and rising gets to be too much sometimes, be that pillar of fire by night and comforting cloud by day so that we can not only see the way but can be confident of your gracious presence which is our strength and our hope. We are on our way Home. Thank you for your nearness to us and for encouraging us to trust in you. Amen. - Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary, p. 227 (2) CLOSING SONG GEnTLE WOMAn Gentle woman, quiet light, morning star so strong and bright, gentle mother peaceful dove teach us wisdom; teach us love.

(1) PRAYER God of all blessings, source of all life, giver of all grace: We thank you for the gift of life: for the breath that sustains life, for the food of this earth that nurtures life, for the love of family and friends without which there would be no life. We thank you for the mystery of creation: for the beauty that the eye can see, for the joy that the ear may hear, for the unknown that we cannot behold filling the universe with wonder, for the expanse of space that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves. We thank you for setting us in communities: for families who nurture our becoming, for friends who love us by choice, for companions at work, who share our burdens and daily tasks, for strangers who welcome us into their midst, for people from other lands who call us to grow in understanding, for children who lighten our moments with delight, for the unborn, who offer us hope for the future. We thank you for this day: for life and one more day to love, for opportunity and one more day to work for justice and peace, for neighbors and one more person to love and by whom be loved, for your grace and one more experience of your presence, for your promise: to be with us, to be our God, and to give salvation. For these, and all blessings, we give you thanks, eternal, loving God, through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Akoy yakapin Mo, hwag Mong pahihintulutang malayo. Poon pakinggan Mo ang sigaw ng pusong naakit sa Yo. Sa hustong paggiliw Mo ay lingapin Nang sa bawat pagpintig ay hanapin.

Tanong ng isang mahirap: Ano po ba ang banal? Ano po ba ang bayani? Tanong ng isang kabataan: Kailangan pa po ba ng banal? Kailangan pa po ba ng bayani? Tanong isang nawawalan ng pag-asa na mananampalataya: Saan na po napunta ang banal? Saan na po napunta ang bayani? Sa isang malumanay na tinig, Sa isang dampi ng ihip ng hangin, Sa isang mainit na yakap sa dibdib Sa isang tumitimong pintig sa pusong naninimdim Dahil mayroon pang IKAW Dahil may mga laiko pang binyagan Kinumpilan at itinalaga Para sa bayan, para sa Simbahan Ikaw , laiko, banal Ikaw , laiko, bayani Tayong lahat, Banal na Bayani! Higit sa lahat, kung bakit may banal at bayani pa Dahil Ako at pag-ibig ko ay di nagmamaliw Ako ,na patuloy na nagmamahal at pumapatnubay Ako,,na nag-alay ng buhay Para sa iyo, upang ikaw din ay matutong magmagahal at mag-alay ng buhay para sa Maykapal, kapwa at bayan. Laiko, huwag kang mangamba Tinawag kita, minamahal kita Ikaw ay akin (cf.Is. 43:1) IKAW ang aking BANAL na BAYANI --- Ako ang iyong Panginoon MERON Meron pang banal at bayani Meron pang handang buhay ay magbuwis Meron pang pusong handang magpakasakit Meron pang hanadang mamatay Para sa dakilang pagmamahal.

He has made us all new, we belong to His fold The gospel is our blessing, our mission to the poor and we, the children, bring His salvation To the rest of the world, His message of compassion To all of humanity, His challenge of conversion We are blessed, we are loved We are called, we are sent We will teach, we will serve We are Christs, we are Church! San Lorenzo Ruiz, San Pedro Calungsod All holy Filipinos bring to the good Lord Our praise and gratitude our offering of love Our pledge to be faithful to the last drop of blood Five hundred years of Jubilee! Five hundred years of blessings Five hundred years of graces unto life everlasting
