Update on Divorce Bill

◦Approved on 2nd reading at the House of Representatives on May 15, 2024
◦When calendared for 3rd reading (could be as early as Monday, May 20, 2024), everything is mostly ceremonial and ministerial: when presented by the Majority Floor Leader, the bill will be passed, *but it does not become a law yet.*
◦Senate’s version will undergo the same process
◦As of May 18, 2024, SB 2443 still has to be calendared for 2nd reading.
◦After 3rd reading (which we hope does not happen this Congress), the approved versions of both Houses are reconciled, finalized and approved by the Bi-cameral Conference Committee
◦Presidential action - for approval or veto.

It is therefore, our fervent hope and prayer that the HR does not calendar the Bill for 3rd reading and that the Senate does not move and act further on the pending Divorce Bill.

We urge everyone to help STOP the passage of the Divorce Bill. Let us:
1. Populate social media with expressions of our opposition
2. Write/Talk to our Congressmen and Senators
3. Write letters to the editors of various newspapers
4. Make noise in other legal forms and ways to catch attention of our legislators
5. PRAY intensely and unceasingly.

Salamat po at Mabuhay ang PAMILYANG PILIPINO!

It's not also the birthday of Our Lady.

I know some of us had this misconception (no pun intended) before.😅

The Immaculate Conception is a dogma of the Catholic Church which states that the Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception. In the Constitution Ineffabilis Deus of 8 December, 1854, Pius IX pronounced and defined that the Blessed Virgin Mary "in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace granted by God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin."

Testimony

Maglibog jud kos kasagaran sa mga testimonya sa laing tinuohan (outside Catholic faith) nga magingon nga "Kaniadto sa Katoliko pako, makasasala kong dako, bisyoso kong dako, himabaye kong dako, libakera kong dako, sugarol kong dako, palahubog kong dako, ug sa dihang nakita nako ang gugma ni Kristo, ug nabalhin ko, nabuotan ko." Kay ngano diay, wala diay ninyo makita si Kristo sa Katoliko? O tapulan lang jud mo musimba, musalmot ug mga relihiyosong aktibidades, mubasa ug magtuon ug Balaang Kasulatan ug uban pa nga naay kalambigitan sa tinuohang Katoliko? Ug buot natong hunahunaon, abli kaayo ang simbahan nga mutabang kanimo, ug paminaw nimo nga makasasala kaayo kang dako, aduna tay kumpisal, kung paminaw nimo nga dili ka mainampu-on, kat-ona ang Santos nga Rosaryo ug Diyosnong Kaluoy (Divine Mercy), kung paminaw nimo walay magsuporta sa imong kabag-uhan, salmot ug apil sa mga relihiyosong pundok (CFD, CWL, ACCRS, PYCC), kung naa kay kalibog bahin sa imong pagtuo pwede ka mangayo ug tambag, suhestyon o tubag sa atong mga Kapari-an, Liturgists, Catholic Doctors, Canon Lawyers or Catholic Apologists. Daghang pamaagi nga atong makaplagan pagusab ang gugma sa Diyos sa Katolikong pundok, nganong ihikaw man ang imong kaugalingon nga dili muduol? Abli ang atong nagkadaiyang parokya matag karon o unya aron mutabang o mutubag sa atong mga panginahanglan o mga pangutana.

Today, we celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Church has celebrated Mary’s birth since at least the sixth century. A September birth was chosen because the Eastern Church begins its Church year with September. The September 8 date helped determine the date for the feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8.

Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s birth. However, the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James fills in the gap. This work has no historical value, but it does reflect the development of Christian piety. According to this account, Anna and Joachim are infertile but pray for a child. They receive the promise of a child who will advance God’s plan of salvation for the world. Such a story, like many biblical counterparts, stresses the special presence of God in Mary’s life from the beginning.

Saint Augustine connects Mary’s birth with Jesus’ saving work. He tells the earth to rejoice and shine forth in the light of her birth. “She is the flower of the field from whom bloomed the precious lily of the valley. Through her birth the nature inherited from our first parents is changed.” The opening prayer at Mass speaks of the birth of Mary’s Son as the dawn of our salvation, and asks for an increase of peace.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Bartholomew, Apostle.

In St. John's Gospel, Bartholomew is known by the name Nathaniel (the liturgy does not always seem aware of this identity). He hailed from Cana in Galilee, was one of the first disciples called by the Lord. On that initial meeting Jesus uttered the glorious compliment: "Behold, an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile!" After the Resurrection he was favored by becoming one of the few apostles who witnessed the appearance of the risen Savior on the sea of Galilee (John 21:2). Following the Ascension he is said to have preached in Greater Armenia and to have been martyred there. While still alive, his skin was torn from his body. The Armenians honor him as the apostle of their nation. Concerning the fate of his relics, the Martyrology says: "His holy body was first taken to the island of Lipari (north of Sicily), then to Benevento, and finally to Rome on an island in the Tiber where it is honored by the faithful with pious devotion."

The Church of Armenia has a national tradition that St. Jude Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew visited the Armenians early in the first century and introduced Christianity among the worshippers of the god Ahura Mazda. The new faith spread throughout the land, and in 302 A.D., St. Gregory the Illuminator baptized the king of Armenia, Dertad the Great, along with many of his followers. Since Dertad was probably the first ruler to embrace Christianity for his nation, the Armenians proudly claim they were the first Christian State.

Today, we celebrate Mary, as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Pope Pius XII in the Papal Encyclical Ad Coeli Reginam proposed the traditional doctrine on the Queenship of Mary and established this feast for the Universal Church.

Pope Pius IX said of Mary's queenship: "Turning her maternal Heart toward us and dealing with the affair of our salvation, she is concerned with the whole human race. Constituted by the Lord Queen of Heaven and earth, and exalted above all choirs of Angels and the ranks of Saints in Heaven, standing at the right hand of Her only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, she petitions most powerfully with Her maternal prayers, and she obtains what she seeks."
