Statue of St. Therese weeps blood, Baguio Philippines

St. Therese weeping tears of blood

 Baguio Hilltop Cathedral

July 14, 2004 - Statue of St. Therese in Baguio weeps blood. Reported insunstar.com. Baguio City- Roman Catholic devotees started flocking to the Baguio Cathedral on Tuesday morning after hearing reports of a wooden statue of St. Therese reportedly shedding tears of blood. As early as 6 a.m. Tuesday, a number of Catholic followers waited outside the Cathedral to open its doors after Fr. Vicente Castro, the parish priest, confirmed that St. Therese indeed wept blood.

Castro told reporters he came to know about it when his male assistant informed him that two women churchgoers wiped with tissue paper the blood that reportedly came out from the eyes of St. Therese. He said they convinced the women to turn over the tissue to them for possible laboratory examination to see if it is indeed human blood. The parish priest, however, learned it was churchgoer Christopher Fergis, 26, who first noticed the statue was crying and informed other devotees who were left behind after the Monday afternoon mass. Fergis told reporters he was wondering why he decided to stay after the mass, claiming an unknown force brought him to stand before the statue of St. Therese, where he witnessed it weeping blood.

"When I was in front of the St. Therese statue, I heard voices coming from nowhere and was telling me we should pray for unity and pray for our leaders," Fergis said as several devotees tried to approach and ask him of what he had witnessed. He revealed he's been dreaming about Mother Mary for almost a week and decided to attend a mass at the Baguio Cathedral on Monday afternoon.

Some parishioners who flocked to the Baguio Cathedral said they prayed for peace for the while world while some said they prayed for the release of Angelo de la Cruz, a Filipino being held hostage by Iraqi rebels and threatened with beheading if the Philippine government would not pull out its humanitarian troops from Iraq. The "weeping" of blood by St. Therese statue occurred four days ahead the 14th commemoration of the July 16, 1990 killer temblor that devastated Baguio and its environs, killing thousands of residents and visitors.

Mediatization for the Youth"by,Rev.Fr.Christian Buenafe"

"INTERNET IN THE WORLD OF MEDIA"
In this chapter the contribution of internet in the world of media maps this movement-in-progress via an analysis of the websites of anti-globalisation, or more specifically anti-neo-liberal globalisation organizations. It examines the contribution of these sites to three different conditions that establish movement formation; collective identity; actual mobilisation and a network of organizations. This, ongoing, explorative research indicates signs of an integration of different organizations involved and attributes an important role to the Internet. However, whilst both our methodology and subject are evolving rapidly, conclusions, as our initial results show, must be tempered.
Internet become a tool in media in order to distribute data and it is a powerful idea, and one whose time has come. Even so, in order for any of these solutions to come to fruition you need more than just a pipe dream and a great idea. You need to handle the looming issue of cable companies controlling and throttling internet users (which would prevent free flow of data), the looming issue of network neutrality and the problems of cable companies and governments spying on users behind the scenes. It is important also especially in an organization on how to forecast their fenancial statement,reports,etc.
Computer technology in media is powerful in the since that computer industry has been trying to bring computer technology into more and more different parts of the home. While the benefits to having access to a home computer in every room of the house can be pretty obvious, consumers have largely rejected technology that would do such a thing. Computer technology it makes life easier specially to the students,business man,and to all include in the firm and such other companys.


"HAPAG NG PAG-ASA"
The video struck me as a poignant, heart-wrenching story of how the painting came top be and, more importantly, how it lashed back at its painter and at anyone who actually looked.They taught me so many values, each of them! Heroism, bravery, courage, even Gospel truths - I learned from them.I wonders, in fact, whether the supper would be the children's last not only with Christ, but also with the charity of humanity because as the ubiquity of street children in urban areas shows, there's hardly enough charity around to shelter, clothe and feed them.We can see those children they reach their life in order to live this world they have a lot of things that you can see in the picture that it hard to explain why they are in that kind of situation.
As we all know we cannot deny the fact that people have different level in life they have a rich and poor people but in sad to say those children that I really see in the last supper that paint by Joey Velasco it makes me hurt because of those things and of those younger children that being work in order to live and to fed.
"I learned a lot of things I had never learned from the university or from rich people, from powerful people. I learned from these children. I really thanks God because he gives me a wonderful life,blessing just like food that we eat,shelter,clothing,etc.
