Sa paggunita ng diwa ng EDSA People Power Revolution, inaanyayahan ng University Student Council, katuwang ang Office of the Student Regent, ang Campus Ministry Organization, at iba’t ibang organisasyon sa buong Bicol University, ang buong pamayanang BU na makiisa sa 𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗽 𝗻𝗮 𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘀-𝗸𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻.

Pagkatapos ng misa, magsasagawa ng isang taimtim na mobilisasyon at prayer brigade bilang kolektibong pag-alala sa mga sakripisyong inialay ng sambayanan upang maibalik at mapanatili ang ating mga demokratikong institusyon at kalayaang sibil.

Sa panahong ang katotohanan ay maaaring mahamon at ang pakikilahok ay maaaring maliitin, ang paggunita ay nagiging isang anyo ng pananagutan at isang pagpapatibay na ang kabataan ay hindi lamang tagamasid ng kasaysayan, kundi aktibong tagapagmana at tagapagtaguyod ng demokrasya.

Samahan ninyo kami bukas, hindi lamang upang alalahanin ang nakaraan, kundi upang pagtibayin ang ating kolektibong pangako sa isang lipunang makatarungan, malaya, at may pananagutan.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)

Earlier, at the Bicol University Chapel, we began the sacred season of Lent with Ash Wednesday—a gentle yet profound reminder of our fragility and God's call to conversion. As ashes mark our foreheads, we are called not only to remember that we are dust, but to return to God with humble hearts, ready to be renewed, healed, and transformed by His mercy.

Not only to dust we shall return, for it is a beautiful truth in the eyes of an ever-merciful God that FROM DUST WE COME, YET TO GRACE WE RETURN. 🙏

“𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻." 🌿✨

Lent, a time to stop, think, and return our hearts to God, begins on 𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙒𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙙𝙖𝙮. We take a moment to reflect on the important things during a hectic semester. Ash serves as a reminder that 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥, that 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦, and that 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵. It's just a plain cross of ashes, but it is a large grace and a call to start over.

Join us as we pause, reflect, and begin this season of preparation together.

As the holy Lenten Season approaches—a sacred time of prayer, fasting and abstinence, reflection, and spiritual renewal—the Bicol University Campus Ministry Organization warmly invites the BU community to join us on Ash Wednesday
📅 Date: February 18, 2026
🕛 Time: 12:15 p.m.
📍 Venue: Bicol University Chapel
The Holy Mass will be presided over by Rev. Fr. Jay Gargaceran.
It includes the imposition of ashes, reminding us of our call to repentance and conversion as we prepare our hearts for the journey to Easter.
The three pillars of Lent guide our journey:
Prayer: Deepening our relationship with God through conversation, Scripture, and devotion—seeking Him more intentionally.
Fasting: Practicing self-discipline by limiting food intake (e.g., one full meal and two smaller ones that don't equal a full meal) to focus on spiritual hunger and detachment from worldly things.
Abstinence: Refraining from meat (or other specified foods), as a form of penance and solidarity with Christ's sacrifice.
All are most welcome to come together as one community to receive God’s grace during this season of penance and hope.
Psalm 103:14: "For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust."
We look forward to seeing you at the Chapel! 🙏✝️
