Happy Feast of Jesus The Black Nazarene ✝️

HAPPY FEAST DAY!
JESUS, THE BLACK NAZARENE
Sunday, January 9

Then JESUS told his disciples:
“IF ANYONE WOULD COME AFTER ME, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”
- Matthew 16:24-26

BELOVED LORD JESUS NAZARENE, we come to You to help us. Life is a constant struggle, and we now feel the pain of our journey. Bless us Jesus and teach us to listen, to all the events of our life, knowing that nothing happens by chance. Everything that happens has a reason. When we feel the pain or sickness, teach us to cope with loving surrender and to believe in the power of healing. When we experience emotional, financial and psychological brokenness, help us to rise up with belief that “WITH GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE”. We come to You today, to pray for healing and deliverance, and beg You to listen to our petitions, if it is for the greater glory of God!
We pray to You and our Mother Mary, with the hope that with Your infinite Mercy and her intercession, will hear and grant our prayers.
Jesus, I trust in You!
Amen

VIVA, SEÑOR JESUS NAZARENO!

Feast of Immaculate Concepcion ✝️

December 8 | 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

On December 8, we honor Mary, our Mother. The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a Catholic feast celebrating Mary's conception without sin. Even though this feast day occurs in the liturgical season of Advent, which prepares for the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary in the womb of her mother, St. Anne.

The dogma of the Immaculate Conception asserts that "from the first moment of her conception, the Blessed Virgin Mary was, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind, kept free from all stain of original sin."

The observance of this feast began with a Papal encyclical by Pope Pius IX, when he formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, INEFFABILIS DEUS, on December 8, 1854. Several years later, in 1858, the Blessed Mother gave her name to St. Bernadette at Lourdes stating "I am the Immaculate Conception."

Collect prayer from the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception)

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin
prepared a worthy dwelling for your Son,
grant, we pray, that as you preserved her from every stain
by virtue of the Death of your Son, which you foresaw
so through her intercession,
we, too, maybe cleansed and admitted to your presence.
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever.

Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us!

⚠️Anong meron ngayong December 8?

Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

⚠️ANO NGA BA ANG IMMACULATE CONCEPTION?

Ito ay ang kalinis-linisang paglilihi sa Mahal na Birheng Maria ng kanyang inang si Santa Ana. Ibig sabihin, sa sinapupunan pa lang ni Santa Ana ang Mahal na Birheng Maria ay WALA NANG BAHID NG KASALANAN.

⚠️Bakit walang bahid ng kasalanan ang Mahal na Birheng Maria simula nang siya ay ipinaglihi pa lang ng kanyang inang si Santa Ana?

Alam natin na ang Panginoong Jesus, Diyos na totoo at ang SALITA na nagkatawang tao, ang bugtong na Anak ng Diyos, ay isang banal at walang kahit anong kasalanan ay isinilang sa sanlibutan. Bakit naman papasok ang Diyos sa isang sinapupunang marumi at may bahid ng kasalanan?

CCC 491
The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.

In short, niligtas muna ng Diyos ang Mahal na Birheng Maria sa kasalanan. Kaya sa paglilihi pa lamang ni Santa Ana kay Maria, malinis na siya. Wala nang bahid ng kasalanan.

Kaya nga napa-awit sa galak noon ang Mahal na Birheng Maria...

📌LUCAS 1:45-49
[46] At sinabi ni Maria,
“Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri sa Panginoon,
[47]at ang aking espiritu'y nagagalak sa Diyos na aking Tagapagligtas,
[48]sapagkat nilingap niya akong kanyang abang alipin!
Mula ngayon, ang lahat ng tao'y tatawagin akong pinagpala;
[49] dahil sa mga dakilang bagay na ginawa sa akin ng Makapangyarihan.
Banal ang kanyang pangalan!

📌FULL of GRACE

Ayon sa Lucas 1:28 ang Mahal na Birheng Maria ay FULL of GRACE.

Alam ng lahat ng mga TUNAY na KRISTIYANO na hindi maaring tawaging nasa "STATE of GRACE" ang isang tao kung siya ay may bahid ng kasalanan o "STATE of SIN".

Yamang ang Mahal na Birhen ay tinawag ng Anghel Gabiel na FULL of GRACE, ibig sabihin, NAG-UUMAPAW sa kanya ang GRASYA ng DIOS at WALA nang PUWANG ang KASALANAN sa kanya.

⚠️Kung duda pa rin at hindi mo kayang paniwalaaan ang Immaculate Conception, para mo na ring sinabi na ang Panginoong Jesus ay mula sa isang makasalanan!
‼️Malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw na ito ay isang pahayag ng pamumusong (blasphemy)!

Nawa mas lalong naging malinaw sa atin ang Immaculate Conception ♥️

“God never sends you into a situation alone. He goes before you. He stands beside you. He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now, face it with the confidence of knowing that God is with you.” Be strong, fear not!

First Advent Sunday ✝️

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿!
While continuing in the civil year, the Church is now celebrating the beginning of a new Liturgical Year with the First Sunday of Advent today. Advent — from the Latin 𝘢𝘥 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘰 which means to come is the liturgical season anticipating the 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘋𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪 or the coming of the Lord.

Christmas vibes are in the air, and it brings out the child in us. Who is excited about Christmas? We have Baby Jesus and the whole cast of Belen, family reunion, Noche Buena, Christmas gifts, and many more. But first things first, before all the Christmas parties, we need to be ready and worthy. And more than the physical decorations, we need to prepare our hearts with glowing virtues and remove unwanted specks of dirt from the past.

𝗧𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴!
The Season of Advent is a perfect time to review our lives. The purple color of the season means repentance. Same with Lent, we need to purify ourselves before we meet our King, Jesus Christ. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation and by doing the works of mercy, we may be able to empty ourselves from being self-centered or hopeless. And so, the best way to celebrate Christmas is to go deep first with the season of Advent by embracing the message of hope, peace, joy, and love in our hearts.

Have a meaningful and blessed Advent Season, Brothers and Sisters!

For those of us who worry so much, remember what was once said: None of us will leave this world alive. Death is certain. We just don't know where, how or when.

Remember too that the more you worry, the more you hurry to the cemetery.

So live well.

Just do your best.

Let God do the rest!

A MOMENT WITH THE LORD
Lord, instead of worrying, help me to be busy living and loving. Amen.

A MOMENT WITH THE WORD
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Matthew 6:34

Take the opportunity to be kind, to be generous, and to share. You who have been blessed, be a blessing to others!

Only in God are we truly safe and secure; anything else is false security. Whether you are surrounded by mighty walls of stone, a comfortable home, or a secure job, no one can predict what tomorrow may bring. Our relationship with God is the only security that cannot be taken away.

Today, let us be reminded to slow down, to be mindful of what surrounds us, and to take time, and even to stop along the way, to be kind, and to be a part of humanity.

“No harm will happen to you, and no misfortune will come to your home. Because He will command His angels over you, to protect you in all ways” (Psalm 11, 10-11). This is God’s promise to those who continue to follow Him and serve Him.

“No harm will happen to you, and no misfortune will come to your home. Because He will command His angels over you, to protect you in all ways.” (Psalm 91: 10-11) This is God’s promise to those who continue to follow Him and serve Him.

Remember Zaccheus who went up a sycamore tree to be able to see Jesus? Up there, he saw Jesus passing by, but he could not encounter Him if he did not come down.

What is your sycamore tree that prevents you from really meeting Jesus? What is your tree of comfort, your tree of security, your tree of refuge?

As long as we do not leave our comfort zone, and hold on to our worldly security and refuge, we cannot really meet our Lord. Perched high up on our sycamore trees, we feel false security. Up on our sycamore trees, we have a vantage point that gives us a false sense of power and safety. Up on our sycamore tree, we think we are in control.

Come down from your sycamore tree. The Lord is calling you to walk the earth with Him and journey on.

A MOMENT WITH THE LORD
Lord, help me to leave behind my false securities and comfort zones. Amen.

A MOMENT WITH THE WORD
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

One time when I came home from a pilgrimage, I gifted my Mama with a pair of soft room slippers. As I was putting them on her feet, I could not hold back my tears, remembering how she bought shoes or slippers for me and put them on me when I was a child.

I was just overwhelmed with gratitude for having been given the chance to do the same for her in old age.

A MOMENT WITH THE LORD
Lord, thank You for the privilege of being able to let my loved ones feel how much I love them. Amen.

The Resurrection manifested in secret, the disciples were the only eyewitnesses. They preached the resurrection to those who have not seen it. We, the followers of Christ, who have not seen it upfront, are called to be witnesses of it through our faith. We are blessed for we have not seen the resurrection with our bare eyes yet we believe.

"Everything else had been manifest and proclaimed, whereas the resurrection took place in secret. It was manifest only to a few."

-St. John Chrysostom

Abril 09 | Biyernes sa Walong Araw ng Pagdiriwang sa Pasko ng Muling Pagkabuhay

Novena to the Divine Mercy
Day 05 Novena Prayer | April 06

Jesus said: "Today bring to me the souls who have separated from my Church and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. During my bitter passion they tore at my body and Heart, that is, my Church. As they return to unity with the Church, my wounds heal, and in this way they alleviate my passion."

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated from Your Church. Draw them by Your Light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your Mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon the souls of those who are separated from Your Son's Church, especially those who have squandered Your Blessings and misused Your Graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Bring it about that they may glorify Your great Mercy for endless ages. Amen

Jesus, King of Mercy, we trust in You.
