Last March 6, 2010, the book INA: Little Stories of Faith, dedicated to Our Lady of Penafrancia on the occasion of the Tercentenary celebration was officially launched at the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary. The event was attended by the devotees of INA headed by Most Rev. Gilbert Garcera, Bishop of Daet, who celebrated the mass before the formal presentation. He also gave a brief review about the book during the program which was also attended by the dedicated people and sponsors behind the project.
The 250-page book contains the first-ever-to-be-published collection of true and intimate encounters with INA. Written and shared by people who experienced the miracles of INA, they are now recorded to be passed on through the ages.
The Editorial Board is composed of Archbishop Leonardo Z. Legaspi, OP, Bishop Gilbert Garcera, DD, Msgr. Romulo Vergara and Atty Tito S. Fajardo. During the program, Mrs. Carmen Bernas, being the Project Director, acknowledged also Mr. Vicente Ramirez, the Production Coordinator, Ms. Minerva Rodriguez Fajardo, the Editor and Eva Farolan-Penamora, the Design and Layout.
The coffee table book invites the reader to go on a soul-fulfilling and spirit-uplifting mystical journey with INA, Our Lady of Peñafrancia, as she celebrates her 300 years with the Bicol people.
Some of the moving experiences of ordinary people - faithful devotees of INA are detailed in its pages about:
- A young couple's decision to keep and not abort the 3-month fetus in her womb despite doctor's warnings it would be autistic, because it is 'God's gift of life to us.'
- A baptized but non-practicing Catholic's search for the Brown Virgin Mary in her dream that led to her Protestant husband's conversion to the Catholic faith
-A seminarian's fear of darkness and how he overcame it
-An alcoholic's successful battle with the bottle, literally fighting it before INA's altar
- A son's answered plea to bring back his broken family together again
- A bounty of harvest from the sea when INA visits a remote coastal town
- Even a longed-for wish for a visa granted
The book was sold out after the launching but will soon be available in all the local book stores at a very affordable price of P1,500.
