Mary for you!
For you’re White and Blue!
We pray you’ll keep us, Mary
Constantly true!

Faithful to you.
It’s October, the month of the Holy Rosary, it is also the month when Ateneans, or followers of Mama Mary for that matter, wear the October Medal. Wearing the October Medal is a tradition that started way back in the early 50’s when the Ateneo moved from to the Loyola Heights Campus in Quezon City from its old site in Padre Faura. As Father Tito Caluag once said, wearing the October Medal is a way of proclaiming that we are Ateneans: sons of God, sons of Ignatius, sons of Mary.
Hundreds of October Medals were blessed last night at the Church of the Gesu and distributed to the faithful. My family wears the October Medal—we propagate the special devotion to Mama Mary.

Oh Wind(Poems from the Heart by D. Racoma)
the wind I can’t see but I can feel it it is there, I am sure caressing my face almost a kiss enveloping my whole being a warm embrace making me feel alive glow, delight, smile a pleasant rendezvouz
it blows intensely at times and I am swept away bringing me to heights never imagined I forget myself take me, please do, I plead then i go with the flow of the wind to the south, to the north to the east, to the west a dizzying union with the wind, my wind
wake me up, when it becomes too much more than what I can handle and bring me back to earth where I truly belong my feet firmly on the ground be the wind that gently blows the wind that I can feel always there, even if I can’t see always there, never to go away to caress my face, envelop my whole being -
