ab epistvlis

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born  of the most pure Virgin Mary  at midnight in Bethlehem,  in piercing cold.  In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God,  to hear my prayer and grant my desires  through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ,  and of His Blessed Mother.  Amen. Pray this beautiful prayer 15 times a day starting on the Feast of St Andrew, 30th November until Christmas Eve.

This is the final artwork of the invitation I made for YUPPEACE Navidad 2007. The pages of the card are attached by a bamboo toothpick. For a dimensional look, I used real bamboo leaves to decorate the card. "So, here we are. Send us oh, Lord! We embrace the world." -- YUPPEACE

The Invitation This is the invitation I artworked for the Young Upbeat Professionals for Peace (YUPPEACE). It has a Filipiniana theme. The first image is the cover. The second image is the second page. I called it "hinubog ng panahon" (formed by time) because YUPPEACE has molded thousands of Christians through its various psycho-spiritual formation programs. Instead of the usual date and venue details, I wrote a riddle (palaisipan, bugtong) I took the picture of the bamboos at the Sacred Heart Novitiate in Novaliches, Quezon City.
