“Pagdating ng ikawalong araw ay tinuli ang bata at pinangalanang Hesus. Ito ang pangalang ibinigay ng anghel bago pa siya ipinaglihi.”
— 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘀 𝟮:𝟮𝟭

Ngayon ay ipinagdiriwang natin ang Dakilang Kapistahan ni Maria, Ina ng Diyos, isa sa apat na dogma tungkol kay Maria. Ipinapahayag ng kapistahang ito na si Maria ay tunay na Ina ng Diyos sapagkat ang kanyang isinilang ay si Hesukristo, tunay na Diyos at tunay na tao. Kasabay nito, ginugunita rin natin ang Pandaigdigang Araw ng Panalangin para sa Kapayapaan. Paalala ito sa atin ng pagbati ng muling nabuhay na Panginoon sa Kanyang mga alagad:
“Sumainyo ang kapayapaan.”
— 𝗝𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟬:𝟭𝟵

Ang kapayapaang ito ay hindi mula sa mundo, kundi kaloob ng Diyos, mapagkumbaba, matatag, at nagmumula sa pag-ibig. Sa
pagsisimula ng bagong taon, nawa’y hilingin natin sa pamamagitan ni Maria, Ina ng Diyos, ang tunay na kapayapaan sa ating mga puso, sa ating mga pamilya, at sa buong sanlibutan.

As we begin the joyful novena leading up to the Birth of Christ, it’s important to understand the three terms often used during this season—Misa de Aguinaldo, Misa de Gallo, and Simbang Gabi.

MISA DE AGUINALDO:
is the proper liturgical name of the nine-day votive Masses from December 16–24, marked by white vestments and the Gloria as we joyfully anticipate Christ’s coming.

MISA DE GALLO:
meaning “Rooster’s Mass,” is historically the Christmas Eve dawn Mass, though in Philippine usage it often refers to the final dawn Mass of the novena.

SIMBANG GABI:
is our Filipino term for the same novena—pastorally adapted so the faithful may attend either in the early morning or in the evening.

These traditions reveal how Filipino Catholic life beautifully unites history, liturgy, and devotion, making our preparation for Christmas both communal and deeply spiritual.

MISA DE GALLO VS. MISA DE AGUINALDO

Did you know that Misa De Gallo is technically the midgnight mass on Christmas Eve? This is according to the dictionary of the Real Academia Española. Misa de Gallo (meaning "Rooster's Mass") was called as such in several countries, with rooster as the heralder of the good news. Somehow in the Philippines, Misa de Gallo came popularly applied to all simbang gabi at Christmastime. So the next time that your grandparents correct you whenever you tell that Misa de Gallo and Simbang Gabi are the same, do not be surprised. ^_^

IF MISA DE GALLO IS TECHNICALLY THE CHRISTMAS EVE MASS, WHAT IS MISA DE AGUINALDO THEN?

Misa de Aguinaldo (meaning "Gift Mass") is among the most distinctive traditions of Christmas in the Philippines. Churchgoers offer the gift of sacrifice of waking up before the break of dawn for nine consecutive days to attend the dawn masses in thanksgiving, as a form of worship, or for a standing petition. Misas de Aguinaldo (plural of "misa" is "misas) are technically the novena masses we attend. These were introduced for the farmers who wake up very early to work, and; to impress Filipino Christian converts on the significance of Christmas Day.

Misa de Aguinaldo is a privileged votive mass, meaning a mass that does not correspond to the liturgical calendar but has a special intention. It is conducted for a ‘grave or weighty reason’ (pro re gravi) and with massive attendance of the faithful. Instead of the violet that is proper of Advent, the color of the vestments of the priests during the Misa de Aguinaldo is white. Gloria is also sung during this type of celebration.

ALAB Youth Conference 2025 Ignited Hearts with Hope and Faith

Vicariate of Our Lady of The Abandoned — With hearts burning for Christ, the Vicariate of Our Lady of the Abandoned – Commission on Youth opened the ALAB Youth Conference 2025, a gathering that aims to rekindle hope, deepen faith, and strengthen the bond of the young faithful under the banner of “For in Hope We Were Saved.”

In the first plenary, participants were invited to reflect deeply on how hope becomes real when faced with trials. As one of the sharers put it, “Ang pag-asa ay nagiging totoo lang kapag wala nang pag-asa.” The talk inspired many to see hope as a living testimony of faith — a light that shines brightest in the darkest times.

Quoting Pope Leo XIV, the plenary also reminded the youth: “At times, what we are unable to say in words, we express with the voice. And in this way, he showed us that our hope can cry out, even when all seems lost.”

The ALAB Youth Conference 2025 featured sessions of praise and worship, faith-sharing, and prayer experiences designed to help the youth encounter Christ anew and build communities of hope.

The organizers have expressed their prayer that the gathering may not only be a moment of inspiration but a sacred space where hope is rekindled, faith is strengthened, and Christ is encountered anew.

“May our hearts burn with the fire of hope — one that transforms us to be bearers of Christ’s light in our parishes, schools, and families.”
