"Duha ka epekto sa tintasyon: Una, makahimo kita og sala ug ikaduha, makalig-on kanato sa paglikay sa sala. Hinaot nga sa matag tintalon kita mahimo kitang lig-on sa pagdili sa sala.

Dako kaayo nga KALAMPUSAN ISIP KRISTIYANO ANG MAKADAOG KITA BATOK SA TINTAL SA PAGPAKASALA. Mag-unsa atong kalampusan kung sa sala kita ulipon man'.

Tanan kita masakiton kay nag kinahanglan kita sa kamot sa Ginoo nga makaalim. Ang atong pagkamasakiton maoy maayong paagi nga makigsuod sa Dios diha sa atong pagsangpit Kaniya. Daghan kanato nga adunay sakit apan dili bout mamaayo.

ARON MAWAGTANG ANG ATONG MGA SAKIT, ADTO KITA SA DIOS MU SANGPIT.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude, for the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence in sustaining us in our needs, and for Your wisdom that guides the course of the universe.

We acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of Your creation. We have not been good stewards of nature. We have confused Your command to subdue the earth. The environment is made to suffer our wrongdoing, and now we reap the harvest of our abuse and indifference.

Global warming is upon us. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruption, and other natural calamities occur in the increasing number and intensity.

We turn to you, our loving Father, and beg forgiveness for our sins.

We ask that we, our loved ones and our hard earned possessions be spared from the threat of calamities, natural and man-made. We beseech You to inspire us all to grow into responsible stewards of Your creation, and generous neighbors to those in need.

AMEN.

During the last day of Camp ALAB, the campers were awoken by the facilitator, as they were asked to proceed to the activity center for the last activities. The last activities include the fun run, shower fun, closing mass, and the closing ceremony.

As the encampment reached its closing stage, it was undeniable that the campers had been molded and packed with knowledge.

Their stay in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, Don Bosco, Mati, was not for nothing. They have been equipped with wisdom, enlightenment, and joy as they have overcome any obstacles through solidarity.

Truly, it has been such an arduous journey. The campers have faced multiple obstacles, which can possibly hinder them from enjoying and immersing themselves in the encampment. However, through their faith, no one can overtop them.
