Prayer to Saint Faustina by Pope Saint John Paul II

And you, Faustina, a gift of God to our time,
A gift from the land of Poland to the whole Church, obtain for us an awareness of the depth of Divine Mercy; help us to have a living experience of it and to bear witness to it among our brothers and sisters.

May your message of light and hope spread throughout the world, spurring sinners to conversion, calming rivalries
and hatred, and opening individuals and nations to the practice of brotherhood.
Today, fixing our gaze with you
on the Face of the Risen Christ,
Let us make our own
Your prayer of trusting abandonment
and say with firm hope: "Jesus, I trust in You!”

(Rome, April 30, 2000)

Rejected from convents because of a lack of education, God used this formerly unknown young nun to spread His Divine Mercy throughout the world. St. Faustina, pray for us!

St. Francis of Assisi, Founder of the Franciscan Order, Patron of Italy | Oct 4, 2025
St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and ecology, was born in Italy around 1181 or 1182.

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.”
― Francis Of Assisi

In light of the Philippines’ continued struggles with natural calamities, corruption, and a deepening moral and spiritual crisis, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is urging the faithful to unite in prayer and reflection by observing a National Day of Prayer and Public Repentance on October 7, 2025, a solemn call to seek God’s mercy, healing, and guidance for our nation. 🙏🇵🇭

THE HOLY ROSARY - The Rosary means “Crown of Roses”. Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one.

Prayer for the Salvation of the World.

Father, hear our prayers for the salvation of the world. Grant Mercy to all souls that turned away from You. Open their hearts and minds with Your light.

Gather Your children from the east and the west, from the north and the south.

Have mercy O God on those who do not know You. Bring them out of darkness into Your light. You are our saving God Who leads us in our salvation. Protect us from evil.
Bless and praise You O Lord, hear our prayers and answer us. You, our Savior, are the hope of all the ends of the Earth and the distant seas. May Your way be known upon Earth; among all nations Your salvation.

We put the world in Your hands; fill us with Your love. Grant us peace through Christ, our Lord.
Amen

Kapistahan ng Tatlong Arkanghel : San Miguel | San Gabriel | San Raphael

Setyembre 29 ay Pista ng mga Arkanghel na sina San Miguel, San Gabriel, at San Raphael, ang mga natatanging anghel na binanggit sa Banal na Kasulatan dahil sa kanilang mahahalagang papel sa kasaysayan ng kaligtasan. Si San Miguel, ang “Prince of the Heavenly Host” ay ang lider ng lahat ng arkanghel at dakilang tagapagtanggol, si San Gabriel ang tagapaghatid ng mabuting balita. At si San Raphael ay ang banal na manggagamot. Si San Miguel ay apat na beses na nagpakita – sa Aklat ni Daniel, sa Sulat ni San Hudas, at sa Aklat ng Pahayag. Si San Gabriel ay nasa Aklat ni Daniel, at Ebanghelyo ni San Lucas. Si San Raphael ay sa Ebanghelyo ni San Juan at sa Aklat ni Tobit. Ang debosyon kay San Miguel ang pinakamatanda sa debosyon sa anghel – simula noong ikaapat na siglo.

Simula noong 1970, ang mga pista nina San Gabriel, at San Raphael ay idinagdag kay San Miguel. Sila ay tinatawag na mga “santo” dahil sila ay mga banal; sila ay mga anghel, ibig sabihin ay mga “Mensahero ng Diyos” na naghahatid ng pag-ibig at pag-asa. Binigyan ng Diyos ang bawat tao ng kanyang sariling anghel na tagapagbantay bilang tagapagtanggol at tagapamagitan. Nakasaad sa Katekismo: Mula sa pagsilang hanggang sa kamatayan, ang buhay ng tao ay pinalilibutan ng kanilang maingat na pag-aalaga at pamamagitan. Sa tabi ng bawat mananampalataya ay nakatayo ang isang anghel bilang tagapagtanggol at pastol na gumagabay sa kanya sa buhay.

Ang pangalan ng mga arkanghel ay tumutukoy sa gawaing itinalaga sa kanila ng Diyos. Ang pangalan ni San Miguel ay nangangahulugang “Siya na katulad ng Diyos” dahil tinangap niya mula sa Diyos ang trabahong protektahan ang mga mananampalataya gaya ng pagpoprotekta ng Diyos sa kanila. Ang pangalan ni San Gabriel ay nangangahulugang “Lakas ng Diyos”; tatlong beses siyang nagpakita bilang isang mensahero – kay Daniel upang ipaliwanag ang pangitain kaugnay sa Messiah; kay Zachariah upang hulaan ang pagsilang ng kanyang anak na si San Juan Bautista; kay Birheng Maria sa Annunciation, upang ipahayag na siya ang magiging ina ni Jesus. Ang pangalan ni San Raphael ay nangangahulugang “Lunas ng Diyos” dahil sa paggamot sa isang bulag na lalaki at sa paghalo ng tubig sa lawa kung saan ginamot ni Jesus ang isang paralitiko.

Ang mga debotong Katoliko ay nananalangin kay San Miguel kapag nahaharap sa tukso; kay San Gabriel upang maging masunurin sa Diyos gaya ng ginawa ni Birheng Maria; at kay San Raphael kapag sila ay may sakit o mayroong nangangailangan ng lunas.
