My Lord and My God

Danilo Alano Principe

Description

This book is about a meaningful way of getting to know better our Lord Jesus Christ, the significant events in His life, the sacred mission He accomplished in obedience to His heavenly Father, His very words and ways, and the significant role of His blessed mother, all these by praying the holy rosary. This time, every prayer on each bead is accompanied by an incident, phenomenon, remark or message all about or related to His life embedded in the four mysteries of the rosary. Thus, sometime, along the way of using this scriptural rosary prayer, one may utter in sheer wonder and reverence, “my Lord and my God!”

A note of Gratitude and Praise to the Creator
This an expression of heartfelt pleasure, praise and thanks to our Creator for the multitude of grace received such as:
This life, with my wife for 54 years, Lucita Magsarili Zarate, my daughter Maria Socorro Britton and her husband, Scott; my daughter Maria Lourdes, her ex husband Jay Respicio and my grand sons Jason and Jacob; my son Jesus Deogracias (Jade) and his sweetheart Glendrose with Tonton and Camille; my youngest daughter Maria Carmela who is now with the Carmelites; Miguel Cuaderno, my maternal grandfather who I met when I was eighteen years old; Adela Kuenzler my ‘mama’ who raised me up; my father Domingo Principe, my Mommy, Estrella Kuenzler, my Lolo Jesus Cuaderno and his wife Mary who adopted my full-blood sister Evangeline Quiazon, with her husband Ed; my Mama Nita, Juanita dela Cruz Principe, my father’s wife who took me as her real son; my half-siblings Ate Josie Aaronson and husband Kuya Jeff and their children; my Ate Seng, Teresita Montes and her children; my brother Reynaldo “Dido” and his wife Cora and their children; my deceased brother Ricardo and his wife Miriam and their son Robert; my sister Cynthia Hocson and her children; my sister Rosemarie and her children; Norma Reynaldo, my wife’s sister and their children Daniel and Noriza; my maternal half-siblings Boy, Florence, Jacqueline and Cristine.
I also thank the Lord for my other “mothers” Ceciclia Zarate, my mother-in-law; my three co-faculty members at the CPA review schools, Prof, Feliza Bertol, who asked me to call her “Mama” and Prof. Violeta Vicente, who asked me to call he “Mommy” and Prof. Mercedes Bartolome Kimwell, my mentor and co-reviewer who I call “Nanay Kimwell”. Definitely, I have to include my former scoutmaster at the Cecilio Apostol Elementary School Troop 221, Mr. Aquilino Pineda who I called “Papang” and my former mentors and colleagues Dean Jesus Casino, Prof. Fernando Villegas, Atty. Manuel Malvar, Atty. Virgilio Reyes and Prof. Sulpicio Estanslao. Of course, my gratirude to the Lord for giving me my childhood friend and playmate, the late Ricardo “Papu” Leynes and my high school buddy and fraternity brother Rodolfo “Rudy” Perez together with Armando Dyoko, Arturo delos Santos and Crescente Albano. Likewise, my brothers in the Sigma Gamma Lambda fraternity which at one time, I led as Grand Chancellor, specially my late frat brother Restituto G. Presh. Thank God I am still in contact with Rudy Perez, Afredo Butch Bautista and Roly Quintos. They are all in my prayers: the Seneres brothers, Rene and Josie San Pedro and Gerry Mascarinas. I likewise thank the Lord for my classmates and teachers at the University of the East Secondary Training Department led by then Mr. Felisisimo Santos and Mrs. Lontoc who pushed me to help create and write the constitution o the first UE Secondary Training Department Student Government.
Another precious group, the Lord has granted me to be a big part of was the Asian Institute of management MBM ’76. Never had I thought of such kind of involvement in such group when my singular desire was to get the masteral degree from “my highly dreamed about” institution when I read about it in 1968. Out of the blue, there was an election for class officer and it was Candido Dizon who was elected as class president of the MBM’76 morning class. Suddenly there was another election for a class representative to a tentative student association being formed headed by a “Troika” composed of MBM 75 students, Uday Upte, Ed Suarez and Sid Consunji. In 1975, the MM program, a one year masteral program was launched and at that year, the leadership award was given to an MM student. There was a brewing rivalry in leadership: the perception was that the Master in Management (MM) had more matured students since there was a higher actual post college graduation experience required for acceptance in the MM program than in the MBM program. I can remember how I happened to be selected by the “troika” or the leadership that time to be the interim chairman to pursue the establishment of an AIM Student Association. When the election started the contention for the first chairmanship of the student association was between the MM students and the MBM students. I happened to be the candidate of the MBM group while a colonel of the Philippine military was the MM candidate. There was a sort of bitterness on the part of the MBM students because the “leadership award” was won by a MM graduate in the commencement of 1975. The election was a close one since the MM students were active in campaigning specially to the first year MBM students which was successfully penetrated by the MM campaigners. I was a little bit retrained because of my position as interim chairman while being a candidate for the chairmanship position. At the end of the election, I on by two votes only. There was a protest by the MM group so there was a recount. At the end of the recount, my lead grew into four votes, so I was declared the winner. After assuming the position, I continue converting the SA(Student Association) office as the SA Store in answer to the problem of getting the needed supplies for the students since the nearest accessible source was at the shopping center quite a walk from the school. At that time, there were still tall grasses in the area lading to the shopping center. I got assistance from my classmate, then Fr. Sammy Yap for financing and the association was ableto borrowed money to open the SA store with Rudy Besinga as the Store manager. We were able to have an SA secretary and storekeeper and was able to establish a store outlet at the lobby of the school dormitory. At the end of the term, we were able to trurn over the fund to the next leadership after so many successful “beer pubs” every time there were new batches (new short programs) to welcome. At the first year of operations, the SA became very popular. Perhaps, that contributed much to my winning the 1976 Leadership Award at graduation day.
I also give praise and gratitude for making me involved in the Catholic charismatic group BLD… Bukas Loob Sa Diyos giving me and my wife as our shepherds Robert and Nida Cayetano, our pastor and batchmate, Fr. Felino, our brothers and sisters especially the ME 15 (Marriage Encounter) : Jun and Malou Aesquivel, Noel and Malou Portacio, Omar and Cristy Buensuceso, Kim and Nannette Villanueva, Jack and Jolly Velasco and the ever present Kittie and Pete Guballa.
I thank the Lord for the opportunity to serve as member of the board of the of the International Drop In Center (IDIC) and the Filipino American Association of Certified Public Accountants (FAACPA). Most of all, for giving me the opportunity to serve as online lecturer to high school students in the Philippines through the Center for Positive Futures through my batchmate and kababayan in Marikina Zenaida Liamzon Bautista. By the way, we owe it to sister Zeny and her school for the possibility of publishing this book. Thus any proceeds from this publication and the other one “Who’s Afraid of Accounting” will largely be for the projects of the Center for Positive Futures and the Infinite God’s Love. Org. To all who will help propagate the scriptural rosary, I am positive, we are answering the request of Mama Mary The Blessed Virgin to pray for peace in this world.

Why another book about the rosary? I will share the story behind it but for now, I feel this work is for both beginners who are interested in learning how to pray the rosary and for some “cradle Catholics” like me, who was raised in this life and has possessed the rosary, yet realized I did not know much about it. I simply had to have it in my pocket, as a matter of habit or custom. Its very meaning, honestly, nil or very little.
I can only speak about my experience of having been taught by my aunt Tia Lydia (Lydia Alano Sagullo) when I was about 7 years old how to pray the rosary and treasured the religious article in my life as I always go to various churches with my maternal grandmother (Adela Kuenzler Alano), who was always in her brown San Antonio penitential gown or “abito”, who raised me up as both my father and mother. I got my initial education (preparatory through Gra
