Hier ist ein römisch-katholisches Gebetsbuch meiner Großmutter Anunciacion “Anon” Bonjoc Rallos de Borromeo (1885-1938).  Das Buch hat sie im Jahre 1923 geschrieben, nachdem mein Großvater der Richter Andrés Borromeo y Reynes (1880-1923) leider einem Attentat zum Opfer fiel.  Das Buch ist in der ”Cebuano” Sprache (einer von vielen Dialekten – auch “Visaya” gennant – der Philippinen) geschrieben.  Es gibt nun 27,5 Millionen Menschen im Süden der Philippinen, die Cebuano als Muttersprache sprechen.  Die Stadt Cebu auf der Insel Cebu ist nach Manila die zweitgrößte Stadt der Philippinen.  Cebu hat mehr als 5,2 Millionen Einwohner.  Vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch!

A Prayer Book in the Cebuano Language

This is a Roman Catholic prayer book written by my maternal grandmother Anunciacion “Anon” Bonjoc Rallos de Borromeo (1885-1938) and published in the Cebuano language in 1923. My late aunt Carolina M. Borromeo (1921-2010) was kind enough to translate the Cebuano prayer book and the Spanish article on Judge Borromeo into English for us.

Devotions to the Saints, Beatified and Venerable in Heaven

We all have our favorite Saints, Beatified and Venerable in Heaven.  Children should remember their very own Patron Saint Nicholas.  And what about Saint Jude Thaddeus?  He who helps those in “hopeless” situations.  With GOD, nothing is hopeless.  And what about Saint Michael the Archangel?  He who will defeat Satan, the fallen angel Lucifer.  Another wonderful Saint is Anthony of Padua, who will guide us in all we do.  And what about Saint Faustina Kowalska of the Divine Mercy?  The power to forgive sin, even greater than during the Season of Lent.  And of course, we must never forget our own Saint Charles Borromeo.  And Saint Peter the Apostle, who will defend us from iniquity.  And do not forget those such as Blessed Francisco, the cousin of Lucia dos Santos of Fatima.  Or Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich of Germany, who told of the Passion of Christ Jesus with the assistance of the famous German author Clemmens V. Brentano (Clemmens Brentano wrote one book using his notes of what Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich told him).  Another good one is Venerable Mary of Agreda, Spain who wrote “The Mystical City of God.”  Remember also Saint Joseph, Foster Father of Jesus, and Saint Padre Pio.

A Prayer from Saint Gertrude the Great and Saint Mechtilde of Germany

Two German Saints who gave us the most powerful prayer of all include the nuns Saint Gertrude the Great and Saint Mechtilde, both of the Middle Ages.  A prayer group started by the late wife of my good friend is devoted to this great prayer.  Bob Roth’s (1928-2013) late wife was born Edna Mae Kirke (1922-2001) in New York City, and eventually took the lay religious name “Michael Maria.”

Our LORD told Saint Gertrude the Great that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said (think also of the souls of more than 1.5 billion aborted infants since 1917, and the many billions of souls of those who have never been baptized into the Christian faith in general and into the Roman Catholic Christian faith in particular):

“ETERNAL FATHER, I OFFER THEE THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THY DIVINE SON, JESUS, IN UNION WITH MASSES SAID THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TODAY, FOR ALL THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY, AMEN.”

Approval and recommendation (sqd.), M. Cardinal Pahiarca, Lisbon, Portugal (March 4, 1936).
