Badaliyya is a movement based on the concept of BADAL (an Arabic word for "Substitution" or "Ransom". The inspiration comes from the "understanding" that interreligious relation, is primarily a movement of LOVE - a PASSIONATE LOVE that moves one to offer his/her life that others may have life and life to the full. It is a movement of self-expenditure... The model is Jesus Christ in the cross who paid the price by being a RANSOM for us! Bapa Eliseo "Jun" Mercado, OMI

The Exaltation of the Cross
Short Reflections for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross – Sept. 14th
Readings: Numbers 21: 4-9; Philippians 2: 6-11; John 3: 13-17
Gospel Passage: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” (John 3: 16)
Meditation: Jesus, in the cross, fully revealed God’s universal salvific love. The cross is a powerful symbol of the self-expenditure of Jesus, because of his great love for us. Yes, it is by his self-expenditure in the Holy Cross that we have been redeemed…”
The cross also invites us to offer our lives for others that they may have life to the full…
