📣 ANUNSYO | Semana Santa 2026

Sa gitna ng ingay ng mundo, inaanyayahan tayong huminto, magnilay, at muling lumapit sa Diyos. 🙏

Ngayong Semana Santa 2026, makiisa tayo sa mga gawain ng Our Lady of Peace Parish—isang panahon ng pananahimik, pagsisisi, at pag-asa. Sama-sama nating gunitain ang dakilang pag-ibig ng Panginoon na nag-alay ng Kanyang buhay para sa ating lahat.

Hayaan nating buksan ang ating puso sa Kanyang awa at muling maranasan ang liwanag ng Kanyang muling pagkabuhay.

📅 Tingnan ang larawan para sa kumpletong iskedyul.

Tayo’y maglakbay bilang isang komunidad—may pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.

Ngayong araw ay sinimulan na ang pagtatakip ng mga Imahen sa ating parokya. Ang pagtakip ng mga imahen sa huling linggo bago ang mga Mahal na Araw ay isang matandang tradisyon ng Simbahan. Ito'y hudyat ng pagsisimula ng Passiontide, ang pangalang ibinigay ng Simbahan sa huling linggo ng Kuwaresma bago ang mga Mahal na Araw. Binibigyang diin ng panahong ito ang pagka-Diyos ng Panginoong Hesukristo at ang Kanyang paglalakbay patungong Jerusalem para tuparin ang Kanyang misyon.

Ayon kay San Agustin ng Hiponna, hindi naduwag o natakot si Kristo sa mga tao. Sa halip ikinubli niya ang kaniyang Kadiyosan para tubusin ang sanlibutan, ito ay ang tanda rin ng pag-ibig sa atin ng Panginoon na handa niyang gawin ang lahat para tayo ay matubos sa kasalanan.

Ngayong Linggo ring ito, hinihikayat na tayo ng simbahan na mag-ayuno sa hindi lamang aa mga pagkain bagkus sa mga nakikita natin sa loob ng simbahan, ang mga imahen tinatawag din iting (Fasting of the eyes). Kaya't mas paigtingin natin ang paghanap sa imahen ni Kristo sa ating mga puso at kalooban. Ito ay pakikiisa rin ng sambayanan sa ginawang Pagpapakasakit ng Panginoon.

Hanapin natin si Kristo sa ating mga puso❤️‍🔥

Congratulations to the newly elected Prior Provincial and Council of the Philippine Carmelite Province of St. Titus Brandsma! 🤎

We thank God for your generous “yes” to the call of leadership and service in the Church. As you begin this new mission, may the Holy Spirit fill you with wisdom, courage, humility, and compassion. May you be true shepherds after the heart of Christ—guiding the flock with love, protecting them with strength, and leading them always closer to God.

We pray that, like St. Titus Brandsma, you may remain steadfast in faith, joyful in hope, and tireless in charity. May Our Lady of Mount Carmel wrap you in her mantle of protection and intercede for you in every decision you make.

Lord, bless them with unity in purpose, clarity in vision, and hearts that listen. May their leadership bear abundant fruit for the Carmelite family and for the whole Church.

Congratulations, and please know of our prayers! 🙌✨

📢 PAALALA PARA SA CANDLE MASS – Pebrero 2

Mga kaibigan sa pananampalataya,

Inaanyayahan po namin kayo sa Candlemas na gaganapin sa Lunes, Pebrero 2 sa ika 4:45 ng hapon , bilang pagdiriwang ng Pagpapakita ng Panginoong Hesus sa Templo — na kilala rin bilang Candlemas. Sa araw na ito, ipinagdiriwang natin kung paanong dinala nina Maria at San Jose ang batang Hesus sa Templo, at nakilala siya bilang tunay na liwanag ng mundo.

🕯️ Magdala po sana kayo ng inyong mga kandila para mabasbasan. Ang liwanag ng mga kandilang ito ay tanda na si Kristo ang liwanag at gabay sa ating mga puso, tahanan, pamilya, at buong buhay.

📍 Ilagay po ang inyong kandila sa inihandang lugar bago magsimula ang Misa upang mabendisyunan. Pagkatapos, maaari ninyong dalhin ang mga ito pauwi at gamitin sa inyong mga debosyon at panalangin.

Nawa’y ang Liwanag ni Kristo ay patuloy na magningning sa ating lahat!

CANDLEMAS

This coming Monday February 2, let us bring our candles to be blessed as we celebrate the Presentation of the Lord. Candles remind us of Christ, the Light of the World, who guides us through darkness and fills our hearts with hope and faith. Let the blessed light shine in our homes and lives as a symbol of His presence.

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

December 8 is a special day for us Filipino Catholics as we honor Mama Mary, conceived without sin, the Patroness of the Philippines. This celebration reminds us of God’s grace and Mary’s faithful “yes” that opened the way for our salvation.

We invite everyone to join us for the Mass celebration at 6:30 AM on December 8.

Let us come together as one community to honor our Blessed Mother and pray for peace, protection, and blessings for our families and nation. 💙🙏

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

| Why Catholics Celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception?

Catholics celebrate this solemnity because it marks the moment God began the work of our salvation in a hidden but extraordinary way. From the first instant of her existence, Mary was preserved from original sin through the future merits of Jesus Christ. God prepared her to be the pure, holy mother who would freely welcome His Son into the world.

This mystery is important in salvation history because it shows that God’s plan starts with His grace, not our effort. Before the birth of Christ, God was already shaping the vessel through whom the Savior would take flesh. Mary’s Immaculate Conception reveals the depth of God’s love: He prepares everything perfectly for our redemption.

For us today, this celebration is a sign of hope. The grace that preserved Mary shows the power of God to heal, purify, and transform humanity. Her beginning without sin is a promise of what God desires to do in every soul through Christ—restore us, raise us, and make us holy.

THE MEANING OF THE 4 ADVENT CANDLES

In Catholic tradition, the four Sundays of Advent symbolize hope, peace, joy, and love, each representing a vital aspect of our spiritual preparation for Christ’s coming.

The first Sunday, Hope, calls us to trust in God's promises and anticipate His arrival with faith, reminding us of the prophetic hope expressed by Isaiah.

The second Sunday, Peace, emphasizes reconciliation and the peace that Christ brings to our hearts and the world, echoing the angel’s message of peace at His birth.

The third Sunday, Joy, celebrates the joyful anticipation of Christ’s coming, often highlighted by the lighting of the pink or rose candle, symbolizing the joy of the Gospel and the approach of Christmas.

The fourth Sunday, Love, underscores God's infinite love manifested in the Incarnation, urging us to emulate Christ’s love through our actions and preparations.

Together, these virtues guide us in spiritual readiness, drawing us closer to the mystery of Christ’s coming at Christmas.
