Hessed we shalom,
Brothers and sisters.
Today(26th of July 2013) we, the IOC(Instaurare Omnia in Christo),
celebrating our first One Month of our First Campaign that has been
launched exactly a Month ago on 26th of June 2013.
Our glorious, noble and humble Campaign is:
"To promote Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo). "
I would like to invite all of you to pray the Holy Rosary starting from
today until the evening Saturday(27th of July 2013) at least One
Mystery of the Holy Rosary.
We, the IOC ,inviting all people
outside IOC and also IOC friends to join us in celebrating our First
Campaign exactly a Month of that auspicious day. This day(26th of July
2013) is a very auspicious day as it is in conjunction with the Feast of
St.Anne; The Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or Memorial of
St.Joachim and St.Anne.
What is so special and the significance
of our One Month Celebration of our meek Letter of the Launching of the
First Campaign of the IOC Movement? Let us see together why.
From a Sermon by St. John Damascene
[The home of Anne is set before us, that herein we may see an ensample
both of married and of maiden life, the one in the person of Anne the
mother, the other in that of Mary her daughter. Whereof one hath but now
ceased to be barren, and the other is in a little while destined,
beyond the course of nature, to become the Mother of the Messiah by a
singular birth, specially designed of God to build up anew our nature.
We can imagine, then, how Anne, filled with the Holy Ghost, with joyful
and jubilant spirit, might have sung aloud: Rejoice with me, for out of
my barren womb I have borne the bud of promise, and, as I have longed to
do, I nourish at my breasts the fruit of benediction ; I have laid
aside the mournful garments of barrenness, and put on the joyful raiment
of fruitfulness ; let Hannah, the adversary of Peninnah, make merry
with me, and join with me for fellow-feeling, in the singing of this new
and unhoped-for wonder that is wrought in me ; let Sarah be glad that
was joyfully pregnant in her old age. She was but a shadow cast before
of my conception, even before me that hitherto have been barren. Let all
the barren and fruitless break forth into singing, when they behold in
what wondrous wise I have been visited from heaven.
Let all
other mothers also, when they like Anne are gifted with fruitfulness,
say : Blessed be he that gave their desire unto them that besought him!
that gave fruitfulness unto her that was barren! that granted unto her
that from her should bud forth the joy-bringing Virgin! Who, according
to the flesh, was Mother of God, and whose womb was a heaven wherein he
dwelt whom no place can contain. Let us also with them offer our praises
to her that was called barren, but now is become the mother of a
maid-child ; let us say unto her in the words of the Scripture : O how
blessed is the house of David from whence thou art sprung! and that womb
wherein God hath fashioned the ark of his holiness! her, by whom he was
himself conceived without man's seed!
Right blessed art thou,
yea, thrice blessed, whom God hath so blest as to make thee to bring
forth, as his own gift, the babe Mary! Whose very name is highly
honourable, out of whom Christ, the Flower of life, blossomed! A maiden
whose rising is glorious, and whose delivery is worth more than the
world. We also, O Anne, woman right blessed, do with thee joy. In sooth
thou hast brought forth what we all have hoped for, and God hath given
us, namely, the babe of promise. Blessed indeed art thou, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb! The tongues of all the godly do magnify thine
offspring, and every glad word is spoken concerning her of whom thou art
delivered. It is indeed meet and right, and our bounden duty, to praise
her who received a revelation from the goodness of God, and bore for us
such and so great a fruit, from whom sweet Jesus sprang.]
IOC Movement is similar with a baby girl where she is 'born' in order to serve the Lord Jesus Christ; the Word Incarnate.
Therefore,
IOC Movement must be like a child that is blameless and innocent. She
is only speaking of Truth and act according to the Truth Himself which
is our Lord Jesus Christ as the Way,the Life and the Truth(John 14:6).
Blessed Virgin Mary is our Theotokos(Mother of God) and thus it is
important for us to know why she is declared Immaculate Conception when
she was conceived from the womb of St.Anne.
Our Blessed Mother, Maryam(In Hebrew) is conceived by St.Joachim and St.Anne.
There are several debates about the adjective of Kecharitomene
attributed to our Mother of God that she is also could be called as
"Full of Grace" or "Kecharitomene". Language can never adequately
translate another language with the same feeling, emphasis, rhyme,and
idiom.
From Koine Greek.
[Luke 1:28] Kai eiselthon pros auten eipen, "Caire, kecharitomene!, ho Kurios meta sou."
[Acts 6:8] Stephanos de plērēs charitos kai dynameōs epoiei terata kai sēmeia megala en tō laō
The term used to Blessed Virgin Mary is "Kecharitomene" perfect passive
participle of "charitoo" [charitoo (verb) comes from the same Greek
root of “charis” - which means “grace” and charitoó means to fill or
endow with grace] or in other words: "Hail, one who has always been full
of grace"
St.Anne, the Mother of Blessed Virgin Mary name is derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning "grace."
Thus,
From the Sacred History of the Annunciation from Papal Bull Ineffabilis Deus
[When the Fathers and writers of the Church meditated on the fact that
the most Blessed Virgin was, in the name and by order of God himself,
proclaimed full of grace by the Angel Gabriel when he announced her most
sublime dignity of Mother of God, they thought that this singular and
solemn salutation, never heard before, showed that the Mother of God is
the seat of all divine graces and is adorned with all gifts of the Holy
Spirit. To them Mary is an almost infinite treasury, an inexhaustible
abyss of these gifts, to such an extent that she was never subject to
the curse and was, together with her Son, the only partaker of perpetual
benediction. Hence she was worthy to hear Elizabeth, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, exclaim: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the
fruit of your womb.]
From Papal Bull Ineffabilis Deus (Latin for "Ineffable God"), which defined ex cathedra the dogma of the Immaculate Conception:
"We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that
the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception,
by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of
the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved
free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and
therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful."
—Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854
In Conclusion,
The Sermon of St.John Damascene is very important to be the evidence
that St.Anne is barren and married once, until the Mother of God is to
be born from her womb based on Protoevangelium of James. That the name
of the Mother of Blessed Virgin Mary,St.Anne which is Hannah in Hebrew
means "Grace" is clearly by no accident has supported the Dogma of
Immaculate Conception that Mother of God; Blessed Virgin Mary, is really
the "Kecharitomene"(Full of Grace).
Therefore,
The IOC
Movement should be more prudent,strengthen our stand to be firmed in
Faith and more confident to carry on and keep the zeal of Promoting
Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah and Sarawak igniting by God's Divine
Providence on today's auspicious day of our Mother of the Mother of
God;the Mother of the "Kecharitomene".
Pax Christi.
In
my personal thought I'm so sad and extremely in deep agony over a
spreading heresies that is lurking in our neighbouring Country that
promoting Religious Indifferentism for the sake of satisfying their own
desperation. We, the IOC, knew their sadness, knew about their teary
eyes and fear, and it is a major cause that causing them to fall into a
very sweet and comforting lies disguised as 'tolerance' and also
'affection'.
However, we the IOC, could not let ourselves to be cheated and misled by the evil spirit.
We, the IOC, cannot pertain to that false tolerance,and false
affection. For we have just now of our lowliest and unworthy Real
affection towards our brothers and sisters that is being the Victim of
Heresies of Religious Indifferentism.
Now, my brothers and sisters of the IOC Movement, in our Real affection
whose Source is no doubt from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and in the
Holy Mother Church; the Catholic Church, as the Bride of Christ, please
pray unhesitatingly and with the august heart of our all pure and loving
Mother Mary, whom has embraces us; her sons and daughters, with her
Motherly love that is also the same Motherly tenderness that our Lord
Jesus Christ; True God and True Man, has received from her. That
Motherly love directing us to her Son which has given us this 'hurting'
Real affection that keep 'pounding' our deepest soul.
Let the
other people call us crazy, let them spitting on us that we are mentally
abused, let them blame us of having illusion of Grandeur, never mind my
brothers and sisters, Speak the Truth that is born from our Real
affection towards them.
"There is no need to get upset if we
find that we are not on equally friendly terms with everyone, provided
we love our neighbor cordially, with real affection, as the Lord has
commanded us, preferring the other person always and in everything above
ourselves."
- St. Francis de Sales

"Looking towards Rome from Kuching and Kota Kinabalu"
This is the unofficial Motto of IOC Movement for our IOC First Campaign:
"To Promote Traditional Latin Mass in Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo)."
This unofficial Motto; it is very deep in meanings, very beautiful and wonderful in its objectives. It is very clear in view of complexity of our Program in this First Campaign of IOC.
From time to time, IOC will find ourselves in this Motto later. Where, it could directs our Mission even in a very hard struggles and obstacles.
