The feast of the Holy Name Jesus played a key role in the spirituality of St. Hannibal Maria Di Francia, who included it “among the primary feast” in his institutions.
It is based on the promise of Jesus, “Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
In line with this, today January 31, 2023, together with all the Rogationists around the world, the Rogamina community celebrates this feast solemnly.
The morning prayer started at 3:45am and followed by meditation then lauds and holy mass at 5:30 am presided by their superior Fr. Marcelino Diaz, RCJ.
In his homily Fr. Marcelino beautifully emphasizes the importance of this feast in the life of St. Hannibal and in the life our congregation. He also highlighted the meaning of the name of God and sacredness of our names.
Half day adoration immediately followed after the holy mass. The religious confreres, the the UPV Senior and Youth members spent their time in silent prayer in front of the blessed Sacrament until the Supplica at 11am lead by Fr. Jorge Casaberde, RCJ.
This solemn feast ended with simple and yet healthy lunch which was provided by the UPV and the commumity. Everyone part ways shortly after lunch.
Send O Lord, Holy Apostles into Your Church.
