THE MOTHER ROSARIO BULLETIN 3
On this third issue of the Bulletin we wish to focus on the testimonies we received about the life of Mother Rosario, OP Several salient points regarding her observance of the vow of poverty have been missed in the previous issue.How did Mother Rosario live her vow of poverty as a religious and later as a Superior General of the Congregation the position which she held from 1953 to 1957?
It had been an accepted truth that her life was a series of paradox. A woman with a silver spoon in her mouth, she gave up her riches so the congregation may live. A woman of beauty she left behind all earthly happiness and opportunities in exchange for a life of obscurity, simplicity and poverty in the convent.
Mother Rosario put into action what the rich young man who was looking for perfection failed to do. “Christ said, Go, sell what you have, give to the poor and come follow me”. Mother Rosario followed Jesus in perfect obedience and joyful surrender of earthly riches.
You will also find in this issue testimonies sent by those who have been touched by Mother Rosario.The MRAC welcomes testimonies and petitions to make known the life and virtues of Mother Rosario. Please write us.

TESTIMONIES:
1. Virginia B. de la Cruz – 73 years old
Bugasong, AntiqueDiutay nga nahibal-an ko sa kabuhi ni Madre Sayong.
Bugtong siya nga anak nga babae sang isa ka manggaranon; mabuot kag malolo kon maghambal; Maalwan sia sa mga imol kag mainabiabihon. Sa mga bata mapinalangaon kag wala ako makabati nga nagapangakig. May mga trabahador sa Beaterio nga mga tigulang na sila kag natuboan sang buot sa Beaterio. Wala gid sila ka bati nga nagaalsa boces sia pero nagasaway sa mga nakasayop kag indi sia makita nga nagakusmod.
Sa sulod sang pulo katuig nga kada semana ara ako sa Beaterio madamu gid akon natukiban. May mga makalolooy nga nagapakilimus nga ginapasulod gid kag ginapakaon pagkatapus ginahatagan sila cuarta kag bugas kay nalooy gid si Madre Sayong. Ang mga nagapakilimus nagalakat nga nagabalikid sa iya.
Sa akon guinhatagan niya ako sing rosarito kag libreta nga paano pangadi-on ang santo rosario. Nalipay ako kay first time ko makita ang ina nga prayer kag nag-alam ako magrosario tungod kay Mother Sayong. Indi ako makatulog kon indi ako maka rosario. SALAMAT KAY MADRE SAYONG.
2. Sr. Francis Cardora, OP
Dominican Sister Of Molo
Nagsulod ako sa Beaterio sang January, 1949. Ako ang nagtatap kay Madre Sayong kay indi siya makalakat sang pagkadanlog niya sa hallway sang Beaterio. Wala gid siya nagareclamo sang iya ginabatyag. Bata sang isa ka manggaranon nga familya pero ang iya pangabuhi simply lang. Ang training niya nagikan sa iya mga ginikanan nga maalwan, mapainuboson kag maatipanon sang lawas kag kalag sang iya mga tinao. May regular nga confession ang mga tinao. Kada Domingo ginatipon sila kag ginagaexplicar ang evangelio sa sina nga adlao.Kon gab-i sa tapus pangadi sang communidad nagalibot kami sa tanan nga mga imahin sang mahal nga birhen kag magpangadi antes magtulog.
Kon Deciembre sa pagkatao may midnight snacks and mga madres. Kada isa may supot nga puno sang pagkaon kag ang mga kabataan may parte man . Ang parte ni Madre Sayong hatag sa mga pobre. Mapinalanggaon siya sa mga pobre.
