A LECTURE aimed to deepen the faith formation of Catholics on the aspects of devotion and worship is slated on December 5 and 6 to be held at San Carlos Pastoral Formation Complex of the San Carlos Seminary and San Beda College, Alabang, respectively.
Now on its third series, the lecture will have Advent Recollection as topic, in time for the Church’s new liturgical season about to begin.
Resource speakers for the lecture are Fr. Angelo S. Legal, OSB, Director of General Administrative and Services of San Beda College, Alabang and Dr. Josefina Manabat, SLD, Dean of Graduate School of Liturgy of San Beda College, Mendiola.
The speakers will discuss the Advent-Christmas-Epiphany cycle and expound on popular practices like the lighting of the Advent wreath and mounting of a Belen.
Organizers hope to draw participants to understand more deeply “how the celebration of the Christmas mystery can be a transforming experience of Christ’s presence and action in our present history as it was in the past.”
The seminar will conclude with a short advent prayer service.
The lecture is organized by San Beda College, through its Office of Christian Formation, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Liturgical Affairs of the Archdiocese of Manila.
Started in September this year the first lecture tackled the topic on the Blessed Virgin Mary. The second dwelt on the celebration of “Todos Los Santos.” Both lectures were given by Father Genaro Diwa of the Ministry of Liturgical Affairs of the Archdiocese of Manila and Fr. Anscar Chupungco, OSB, Executive Secretary of the Episcopal Commission on Liturgy (CBCP).
San Beda College Office of Christian Formation says the lecture series will go on till 2008. Already scheduled in its calendar are lectures on Sto. Niño slated in January and another one for the Lenten season.
