4th Novena Mass of Our Lady of the Way

"Ni Maria as Our Lady of the Way ket makaawat, mannakaawat, ken makaaw-awat" -Fr. Rolly Buyagan.

Mary, mother of Jesus as Our Lady of the Way reminds us that her mission is to guide people closer to Jesus. She never kept the attention on herself, but always pointed others toward her Son through her words, actions, and example of faith.
Just as Mary became a guide to Jesus, we are also called to become “people of the way” for others. In our families, communities, and ministries, we should lead people closer to Christ through kindness, service, understanding, and love.
Mary teaches us that guiding others to Jesus does not always require great actions. Even in simple acts of goodness and faithfulness, we can reflect Christ to the people around us. May we follow Mary’s example and become instruments that help our community walk closer with Jesus every day.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!❤️💖

God entrusted St. Joseph with something greater than wealth or recognition, the care and protection of Jesus, His Son. He was not a man of public words or fame, but a simple carpenter whose life was rooted in faith and obedience.
St. Joseph shows us what it means to be truly faithful in ordinary life. He listened to God even when things were unclear. He accepted unexpected changes without complaint. He worked quietly and honestly to provide and protect, remaining steady in his responsibilities. In his silence, he revealed strength. In his simplicity, he revealed trust. In his humility, he revealed holiness.
He is St. Joseph the Worker, a model of patient labor, quiet courage, and complete surrender to God’s will.
May his example guide us to live with the same trust in God, faithful in our daily responsibilities, humble in heart, and strong in doing what is good even when unseen. 🙏

✝️ HOW MANY TIMES CAN A CATHOLIC RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION IN ONE DAY?
___________________
Most Catholics don’t know this, but the Church is very clear.

✝️1. What Canon Law Says

Canon 917 teaches:

“A person who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist may receive it a second time on the same day, only within a Eucharistic celebration in which the person participates.”

The key word is iterum, meaning “again,” but more precisely:
👉 one more time only.

So practically:

If you attend one Mass and receive Communion, it is allowed

If you later attend a second Mass and fully participate, it is also allowed

If you attend a third or fourth Mass, no more Communion that day

This prevents turning Communion into something “quantitative,” as if more receptions equal more grace. The Church strongly rejects that mindset.

✝️2. The Minimum the Church Expects

One of the precepts of the Church requires Catholics to receive Holy Communion at least once during the Easter season.

Of course, the Church encourages more frequent reception:
▪️ Sundays,
▪️ and even weekdays,
as long as the person is in a state of grace.

✝️ BUT WHAT ABOUT PRIESTS? HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD THEY RECEIVE?

This part is often misunderstood.

Canon Law expectation

Canon 905 §1–2 explains how many Masses a priest may celebrate in a day:

Normally: one Mass per day

In pastoral situations (Sunday, Christmas, heavy parish workload):
a bishop may permit two Masses (bination)
or even three Masses (trination)

Every time a priest celebrates Mass, he must receive Communion.

It is not optional.
A priest cannot celebrate Mass without receiving, because he acts in persona Christi—in the very person of Christ.

So:

If a priest celebrates one Mass → he receives once

If he celebrates two Masses → he receives twice

If he celebrates three Masses → he receives three times

The restriction of Canon 917 does not apply to priests when they are celebrating Mass, because reception is part of the celebration.

✝️ WHAT ABOUT ALTAR SERVERS?

Altar servers are lay faithful, so the same rule applies to them as to any other Catholic.

An altar server may receive twice a day,
but only if both times are during Mass in which the server participates.

Even if the server assists at many Masses in one day, he or she may still receive only twice.

Serving more Masses does not grant permission for more Communions.

✝️SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE SAYING?

Catholics (including altar servers):

Maximum: 2 times per day, and the second time must be at Mass.

Priests:

Must receive every time they celebrate Mass.

Can receive 1, 2, or even 3 times depending on how many Masses they are permitted to celebrate that day.

God bless you
