His Eminence Cardinal Stephen Fumio Hamao came to the PCF to celebrate the Holy Eucharist with the Filipino migrant workers at the Chapel at 6:00 p.m. Almost all coordinators of the Filipino communities with some members came to join the first day of the spiritual preparation for the PCF Day this coming May 7. The "Kapatiran" batch was assigned as ushers. Cardinal Hamao, in his homily, singled out the indisputable proof of God's love which is the Eucharist which St. Eymard considers as the permanent incarnation, the perpetual sacrifice of Jesus, the burning bush that is always on fire on the altar, the true bread of life that daily descends from heaven. After the Holy Mass, merienda cena was served to all.
At 7:30 p.m., Fr. Regino Cortes, OP, the only Asian member of Pontifical Biblical Commission, was treated by UST alumni (his former students) to dinner somewhere near the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. Fr. Norberto Astillo, OP, the Father Superior of the faithful confessors of the said Basilica, joined the group which was led by Fr. Rey Adalid, OP, the Spiritual Director of PCF. Fr. Cortes was set to leave Rome tomorrow after a week of meeting with the rest of the members of the said commission which the Pope expects to come out a document entitled "the Bible and Morality."
