Diocese of Antipolo DIOCESAN SHRINE AND PARISH OF NUESTRA SEÑORA DE ARANZAZU Guitnang Bayan I, San Mateo, Rizal Palanca Letter To: Bro. Dan Robert Mariano From: Bro. Guiller Castro PREX Parish Renewal Experience (Batch 72)

Dear Robie, Hi! Welcome to Aranzazu Shrine! We are blessed to have you in this sanctuary. Kuya, thank you for showing your light for the very first time that I have met you last Friday. I am immensely grateful to see a new seminarian in our parish, it makes me feel that another blessing from above is preparing by God to spread His good news of love and salvation. May you be successful in this journey of faith and continue to share what you have and what you know. Please don’t get tired of helping others.

I am pleased to meet you, Kuya! Hindi pa po tayo ganoon magkakilala, but a night of conversation, a bit laughter, dance, and service last week was like a decade of serving God together. My apologies if I am calling you, Kuya. This is my love language. I used to call my older colleagues and other friends “Kuya” since I am the eldest and I have been longing to have someone whom I can be comfortable with like the literal “Kuya” at home. You are just 33, (but look like 25 tbh), you are so young, and you are already living your dreams. I am so proud of you, for your accomplishments in life.

What makes me feel awe every time I remember you is the fact that you are already a physician, a professional man, yet still pursuing your vocation to be a priest, ang maging isang dakilang Pari ni Kristo! Maraming maraming salamat sa pagtugon! Maraming tao ang nangangailangan ng isang Paring maalalahanin, mapagbigay, mapagpakumbaba.Mapagmahal sa Diyos, sa bayan, at sa simbahan. It’s just sad because you will not stay here for so long, but I hope makabalik pa po kayo. You are always welcome in this parish, and hopefully, call it as your home. Always take care, dear Kuya Robbie! Best regards and God bless! In Christ through Mary, Bro. Tom Castro

“PARI NI KRISTO” Lyrics by Fr. Reynante U. Tolentino Music by Allan Antonio Tinawag ka upang makahati at makasalo Hirap at pagod hindi mo alintana Hinirang ka upang maging lingkod Maibigay lamang sarili sa mga dukha Sariling pawis ay hayaang pumatak Kasama ng sambayanan sa pag-dulog Maiangat lang ang tao sa pagkakasadlak. Sa Pag-ibig ni Kristo na bubuklod. Ikaw ay Pari ni Kristo Ikaw ay Pari ni Kristo Tagapagpahag ng mabuting balita sa mga tao Tagapagpahag ng mabuting balita sa mga tao Ito ang buhay at lakas mo Ito ang buhay at lakas mo Sa iyong pag-katao sina salamin mo. Sa iyong pag-katao sina salamin mo. Ikaw ay Pari ni Kristo Ikaw ay pari ni Kristo ang Banal na Espiritu ang taglay mo ang Banal na Espiritu ang taglay mo Ikaw ay Pari ng Sambayanan Ikaw ay Pari ng Sambayanan Ikaw ay lingkod ng Diyos sa Bayan. Ikaw ay lingkod ng Diyos sa Bayan. Ikaw ay Pari ni Kristo Ikaw ay Pari ng Sambayanan.
