Pray for the Philippines.

If you’re still not angered by the corruption, the violence, and the darkness around us, why? If you still choose to stay indifferent, why?

Let us pray—but let us also demand accountability, justice, and truth. Faith should move us not only to pray, but to care, to speak, and to stand for what is right.

APAT NA DIMENSYON: LITURHIYA
1. Paggunita (Memorial)
o Ang liturhiya ay hindi lamang simpleng pag-alaala ng nakaraan; ito ay aktuwal na pagdanas ng mga gawa ng Diyos sa kasalukuyan.
o Halimbawa, sa Eukaristiya o Misa, binibigyang-buhay natin ang Paschal Mystery—ang kamatayan, libing, at muling pagkabuhay ni Hesus—na nagiging kasalukuyang karanasan para sa lahat ng dumadalo.
o Ang paggunita ay nagiging personal at komunal na pakikipagtagpo sa Diyos, hindi lang kwento o impormasyon.
2. Pagdiriwang (Celebration)
o Ang liturhiya ay isang masigla at kagalak-galak na pagtitipon ng komunidad ng pananampalataya.
o Ang bawat isa ay aktibong kalahok, hindi lamang tagamasid.
o Sa pamamagitan ng kanta, dasal, at ritwal, naipapahayag natin ang ating pasasalamat at pag-ibig sa Diyos.
o Ang liturhiya ay nagbibigay-diin sa kagalakan ng pananampalataya, hindi sa pag-uunos o pagiging pormal lamang.
3. Misteryo (Mystery)
o Ang liturhiya ay hindi limitado sa pang-unawa ng isip (intellect) lamang, kundi buong pagkatao ang nakikibahagi: isip, damdamin, at kilos.
o Halimbawa, sa Misa, ang pananalangin, kanta, at pagtanggap sa Eukaristiya ay paraan ng pakikilahok sa misteryong panrelihiyon.
o Ito rin ay nagpapakita na ang Diyos ay higit sa ating lubos na maunawaan, kaya’t ang pananampalataya ay pagtitiwala sa Kanya sa kabila ng ating limitasyon.
4. Pagsusugo (Mission)
o Ang liturhiya ay hindi nagtatapos sa loob ng simbahan.
o Pagkatapos ng Misa, tayo ay ipinapadala bilang saksi ni Kristo sa ating pamilya, komunidad, at mundo.
o Ang bawat tagapagsimba ay tinatawagan na isabuhay ang natanggap na biyaya at patotoo sa pag-ibig ng Diyos sa araw-araw na buhay.

HAVE A BLESSED FEAST OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA

Today, the Church joyfully celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, commemorating the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the three shepherd children — Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta — in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. Through these heavenly apparitions, Our Lady delivered a powerful message of prayer, repentance, conversion, and peace to a world wounded by sin, war, and spiritual darkness. More than a historical event, Fatima remains a living reminder that God continues to call humanity back to Him through the loving intercession of the Blessed Mother.

During a time marked by fear, suffering, and uncertainty, Our Lady appeared not to spread despair, but to bring hope. She urged the faithful to pray the Holy Rosary daily, offer sacrifices for sinners, and trust in the mercy of God. Her message continues to speak powerfully to our modern world, where violence, confusion, division, and spiritual struggles still affect countless lives. Fatima reminds us that prayer is not powerless — it has the ability to transform hearts, families, nations, and even the course of history itself.

One of the most beloved promises of Our Lady of Fatima remains a source of great hope for Christians everywhere: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” These words remind the faithful that evil and darkness will never have the final victory. God’s truth, mercy, and love will ultimately prevail. Through the maternal care of Mary, countless souls continue to be led back to Christ, where true healing, peace, and salvation are found.

As we honor this beautiful Marian feast, may we renew our devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary with sincere hearts. Let us pray the Rosary faithfully, entrust our families and nations to her Immaculate Heart, and strive to live lives rooted in holiness, humility, and love. May Our Lady of Fatima continue to intercede for us, protect us, and lead us ever closer to her Son, Jesus Christ. 🙏

“Do not let your hearts be troubled— not because life is easy, but because Jesus is with us.”

On the 5th Sunday of Easter, Bishop Raul Dael reminds us that amid uncertainties, fears, and trials, our hope is rooted not in circumstances, but in the abiding presence of Christ.

In a world shaken by conflict, uncertainty, and personal struggles, the Lord’s words remain a steady anchor. Like the disciples who faced confusion and fear, we too are invited to trust that Jesus goes before us, preparing the way, and never abandoning His people.

Even in our families and communities, when challenges arise and hearts grow weary, His presence holds us together. We are not promised a life free from trials, but we are assured that we will never face them alone.

Let us hold on to this Easter hope: Christ is risen, Christ is with us, and in Him, our hearts find peace.
