Blessed Thursday 🙏🏻

30/06/2026

The Church dedicates the month of July to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, a devotion that invites the faithful to reflect on the profound mystery of Christ’s sacrifice. This devotion centers on the Blood Jesus shed during His Passion and Crucifixion, revered as the price of humanity’s redemption.

The shedding of the Precious Blood is a manifestation of God’s boundless love, the forgiveness of sins, and the life-giving grace offered through the Holy Eucharist. For Catholics, July becomes a time to deepen their spiritual connection to this sacred mystery through prayer, penance, and adoration.

The origins of this devotion trace back to early Christianity, with a significant revival in the 19th century when Pope Pius IX extended the Feast of the Precious Blood to the universal Church in 1849, initially celebrated on the first Sunday of July. Although the modern liturgical calendar after Vatican II integrated elements of this feast into Corpus Christi or suppressed it in some places, the month-long dedication persists in popular piety. The devotion underscores the belief that Christ’s Blood, shed on the cross, objectively cleanses humanity of sin and restores communion with God.

The devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ in July, however, is more than a tradition; it is a call to live in gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice. By meditating on the Blood poured out for humanity, Catholics are inspired to offer their own lives in reparation for sin, and the pursuit of holiness. This month-long focus strengthens faith, drawing believers closer to the heart of the Gospel—the selfless, sacrificing love of Jesus Christ, Whose Blood continues to bring life to the world.

INA NG LAGING SAKLOLO

Ang Ortodox na larawan ng Mahal na Ina, na karaniwang mas kilala ng mga Pilipino ay ang larawan ng Ina ng Laging Saklolo, na matatagpuan sa monasteryo ng mga Redemptorista sa Baclaran, Paranaque, Metro, Manila.

Ang orihinal na larawan ng Mahal na Ina ng Laging Saklolo ay gawa sa Kreta, isang isla sa Griyego, ay gawa pa noong ika-13 siglo. Ang larawan ay dinala sa Roma, kung saan ito ay idinambana noong ika-27 ng Marso taong 1499 sa isang simbahang Agustino ni San Mateo. Ang nasabing simbahan ay isa sa tatlumpong (30) simbahang ipinag-utos na sirain nang lusubin ng Fransia ang Roma noong 1798. Sa nasabing paglusob ang larawan ay naitago sa isang maliit na kapilya. At ito ay muli na namang natagpuan noong 1860 at muling idinambana sa pangunguna ng mga Redemptorista sa monasteryo ni San Alfonso na gawa sa mga labi ng lumang simbahan ni San Mateo. Magmula noong ang mga Redemptorista ang pangunahing tagapagtaguyod ng pamimintuho sa Mahal na Ina ng Laging Saklolo, kung saan bawat simbahan ay may replika ng orihinal na larawan.
Ang pangalan ng Ina ng Laging Saklolo ay nagmula sa Mahal na Ina sa isang parisyon sa isang maliit na bata.
Ang kasaysayan ng Ina ng Laging Saklolo ayon sa tradisyon, isang araw, habang ang maliit na bata na si hesus ay naglalaro sa hardin nang magpakita ang dalawang Arkanghel mula sa langit na dala ang mga kagamitan ng kanyang hinaharap na pagpapakasakit at kamatayan. Dala ng malaking pagkatakot sa nasabing pangitain, ang Banal na Bata ay tumakbo sa mga bisig ng kanyang Ina para sa kanyang pangangalaga, kung saan naman ang Mahal na Ina, ay buong higpit na niyakap ang Batang si hesus, na dahil sa pagmamadali, isa sa kanyang panyapak ay halos mapigtal. Dahil sa mga bisig ng Mahal na Ina, ang Banal na Bata ay nakadama ng tunay na kaligtasan at kapayapaan, sapagkat siya ang ina na laging handang dumamay at sumaklolo.

Sa Pilipinas, sa dambana ng Ina ng Laging Saklolo sa Baclaran, ang pamimintuho ay naging pambansang debosyon. Noong 1940 ang pagnonobena sa Mahal na Ina sa araw ng Miyerkules, ay umakit sa maraming tao at naging dahilan ng paglago ng kalakalan at negosyo.

Ngayon, mula Aparri, hanggang Jolo. Ang araw ng Miyerkules ay araw ng pagnonobena, kung saan sa bawat simbahan sa buong kapuluan ay nagiging dambana ng Ina ng Laging Saklolo.
Maligayang Kapistahan Mahal na Ina ng Laging Saklolo, Ipanalangin mo po kami.

so that I, O my Jesus,
may carry You to all people!

"THIS TIME THE HOLY CIGARRA GONE WRONG"

It was the year of 1815 when Saint Vincent Maria Strambi, exhausted by the weight of the Episcopal mitre, longed to return to the austerity of his passionate life. Encouraged by Cardinal Pacca's assurances, he was convinced that Pope Pius VII would accept his resignation without difficulty.

When Monsignor Natali, a close associate of the bishop, consulted the matter to Blessed Ana Maria Taï, she was keen: the Holy Father would receive that request with deep displeasure.

Confident in his own whistleblowers, Strambi dismissed the warning and commented on Natali with some irony:

"This time the holy cigarette is wrong." "I will precisely thank His Holiness, who has already accepted my resignation."

The reality in the Vatican corridors was very different. As soon as he appeared before Pius VII, the Pontiff received him with an unexpected severity.

"We know why you have come. Who will we send as a bishop? To the night sweepers? "Depart, and leave immediately."

Obediently, Strambi understood that Anne's vision had been accurate. Later, the mystic consoled him and assured him that one day he would reside in Rome again, albeit only "to leave his bones there".

The years went by and, in 1823, history took a new course with the election of Pope Lion XII. Recognizing the experience and prudence of the old bishop, he finally accepted his resignation, but ordered him to remain in Rome as one of his closest advisors.

The trust between the two was such that their daily conferences were developed in top secret. However, Strambi, knowing the gifts of Anna Maria, sent Monseignor Natali to visit her every afternoon. The priest communicated to her the matters discussed and she offered her spiritual observations, thus becoming a discreet advisor to those leading the Church.

The climax episode came later that same year. Lion XII fell so seriously ill that his state seemed desperate. Moved by a heroic love of the Church, Strambi offered his own life to God for the Pontiff and asked for Anne's prayers.

The Beata's response was as disturbing as it was accurate:

"The Pope isn't leaving. It's Monsignor Strambi who's leaving. Let him prepare to die."

When he was noticed that the old bishop was in perfect health, he responded firmly:

"I assure you that in a few days he will be exposed in the church."

Disbelief dissipated on December 31st. As announced, Strambi suddenly suffered a stroke that left him into deep lethargy and deprived him of the use of his powers.

His passionate brothers were left devastated. Not only did they see the death of their venerated bishop approaching, but they feared he would not be able to receive the Viatico. Desperate, they once again resorted to Anna Maria through Monseignor Natali.

Upon hearing the news, the blessed woman left her work, covered her face with her hands and stayed for a few moments in prayer. Then he looked up and said:

"Warn those attending him to start the mass at dawn, to give him communion. He'll have a lucid head and he'll be able to communicate. He will also have time to give his thanksgiving and then he will fall into lethargy again, from which he will pass to eternal rest."

Everything happened exactly as she described it. At dawn on January 1, 1824, the day of his seventy-ninth birthday, Strambi briefly regained consciousness, received Holy Communion, and uttered his final prayers. Shortly after he fell into lethargy again and surrendered his spirit to God.
