Oratio Imperata: HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, Our Life, Our Sweetness and Our Hope! To Thee Do We
HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we
cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this
vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our
exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin
Mary!
Bless us O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are to receive, from thy bounty, through Christ, our
Lord. Amen.

I BELIEVE IN STEWARDSHIP
I believe in the God of mercies who has chosen me to be a steward of Mother Nature and
Mother Church, in spite of who I am and what I have done, and in spite of the infidelities He
knows I will still commit.
I believe in the power of giving and in the power of loving like Jesus; because love is the only
to holiness; giving is the best proof of loving; and perfect renunciation leads to unlimited
fruitfulness.
I believe that in freely giving my time, and in humbly sharing my talents, and in generously
sacrificing my treasures, the Lord will always provide. He takes care of all my needs and bless
me with infinite reward on earth and in heaven.
I will be the first to give, I will not wait for the others. I will keep on giving even if others do
not give. I will not be afraid to have none.
I believe that the best time to share is now, not tomorrow, for tomorrow is an excuse of the
greedy.
I will keep my needs and wants simple and few, for I believe that in reducing my selfishness,
I will grow in happiness and holiness.
I am the steward of the Lord. I will return all these to Him with abundant yield! Much is
asked of me because much has been given to me.
I praise the Lord for His kindness to me. Now and forever. Amen.
First Reading
First Reading: Exodus 20:1-17
In those days:
God delivered all these commandments:
"You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
For the Lord will not leave unpunished
him who takes his name in vain.
The seed that fell on rocky ground stands for the one who hears the word and
accepts it at once with joy. But this fickle and has no roots. No sooner is he harassed
or persecuted because of the word, than he gives up.
The seed that fell among the thistles is the one who hears the word, but then the
worries of this life and the love of money choke the word, and it does not bear fruit.
As for the seed that fell on good soil it is the one who hears the word and
understands it; this bears fruit and produces a hundred, or sixty, or thirty times more."
CREDO OF A STEWARD
I believe in the God of love, owner of everything, who possess everyone. I believe in the God of mercies
who has chosen me to be a steward of Mother Nature and Mother Church, in spite of who I am and
what I have done, and in spite of the infidelities He knows I will still commit.
I believe in the power of giving and in the power of loving like Jesus; because love is the only way to
holiness; giving is the best proof of loving; the perfect renunciation leads to unlimited fruitfulness.
I believe that in freely giving my time, in humbly sharing my talents, and in generously sacrificing my
treasures, the Lord will always provide. He will take care of all my needs, and bless me infinite reward
on earth and in heaven. I will be the first to give. I will not wait for the others. I will keep on giving even
if others do not give. I will not be afraid to have none. I believe that the best time to share is now, not
tomorrow, for tomorrow is an excuse of the greedy.
I will keep my needs and wants simple and few, for I believe that in reducing my selfishness I will grow in

GospelM K 4 :1 -2 0
On another occasion, Jesus began to teach by the sea.
A very large crowd gathered around him
so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down.
And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land.
And he taught them at length in parables,
and in the course of his instruction he said to them,
"Hear this! A sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path,
and the birds came and ate it up.
Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil.
It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.
And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it
and it produced no grain.
And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit.
It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."
He added, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
Internal controls are the policies and procedures that a business puts into place in order to
protect its assets, ensure its accounting data is correct, maximize the efficiency of its operation
and promote an atmosphere of compliance among its employees. There are three main types of
internal controls: detective, preventative and corrective.
nternal Control
Definition: Internal Control can be defined as a system designed, introduced and maintained by
the company’s management and top-level executives, to provide a substantial degree of
assurance in achieving business objective, while complying with the policies and laws,
safeguarding the assets, maintaining efficiency and effectiveness in regular operations and
reliability of financial statements.
Provident God, you who called Sr. Julie to follow the footsteps of Blessed Emilie Gamelin. She
offered you her life to do your will. She is a true religious person with the Sisters of Providence
dedicated to serving the poor. Grant her wisdom, courage and mercy in life so that she could
bring love and service to the needy. Give her the grace she need to imitate Emilie’s virtues.
Amen.
Providence of God,
You who gave to Emile a compassionate charity
for all those who are suffering,
remember her faith,
brighten with your light the road
of those imploring you by her intercession,
and glorify very soon your faithful servant,
the Blessed Emilie Gamelin. Amen.
PRAYER BEFORE MEAL
Reflect, today, upon your own life. At times we carry some heavy cross and beg
our Lord to take it from us. Instead, God tells us that His grace is sufficient
and that He wishes to use our sufferings as a testimony of our fidelity. So, the
Father’s response to Jesus, His response to John and His response to us is a
call to enter into the mystery of our sufferings in this life with faith, hope,
confidence and fidelity. Never let the hardships of life deter you from your
fidelity toward the will of God.
Lord, may I have the strength of Your Son and the strength of St. John the
Baptist as I carry my own crosses in life. May I remain strong in faith and
filled with hope as I hear You calling me to embrace my cross. Jesus, I trust
in You.
The program aims to empower women at the grassroots level and provide them opportunities to be

When Emilie Gamelin lost her husband and her children, she often prayed before the picture of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. This picture she kept all her life praying to our Lady of Seven Sorrows for her
help. So with this, it is clear that she is a Marian devotee. The book “Our Lady of Sorrows in our
Life”, part 1 titled A Devotion Bound to our History, Emilie Gamelin also mentioned in her personal
notes that Virgin of Sorrows is her pole of attraction, her voyage companion, her constant comfort. In
her retreat in 1847, she wrote in her retreat notebook this phrase,“I have in this meditation, taken the
resolution never to spend a day without invoking Mary, Mother of Sorrows”…
