Corpus Christi is a reminder of the intimate connection between the Eucharist and the Church. It is a feast that calls believers to deepen their Eucharistic devotion and to recognize Christ’s sacrifice as the source and summit of the Christian life.

The liturgical traditions associated with this solemnity, such as the exposition and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, help cultivate a deeper spiritual awareness and love for the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This sacred observance is both a celebration and a profound spiritual encounter.

O Lord Jesus Christ, You who have given us Your precious Body and Blood to be our meat and drink, grant that through frequent reception of You in the Holy Eucharist, I may be strengthened in mind and body to do Your holy will. Amen.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐡

Joseph, by the work of your hands
and the sweat of your brow,
you supported Jesus and Mary,
and had the Son of God as your fellow worker.

Teach me to work as you did,
with patience and perseverance, for God and
for those whom God has given me to support.
Teach me to see in my fellow workers
the Christ who desires to be in them,
that I may always be charitable and forbearing
towards all.

Grant me to look upon work
with the eyes of faith,
so that I shall recognize in it
my share in God’s own creative activity
and in Christ’s work of our redemption,
and so take pride in it.

When it is pleasant and productive,
remind me to give thanks to God for it.
And when it is burdensome,
teach me to offer it to God,
in reparation for my sins
and the sins of the world.

Amen.

Thank you, every woman, for the simple fact of being a woman! Through the insight which is so much a part of your womanhood you enrich the world's understanding and help to make human relations more honest and authentic.

As we commemorate International Women's Day, let us draw inspiration from the exemplary figure of Mama Mary, who stands as a beacon of strength, love, and obedience. Her unwavering devotion to her divine calling serves as a reminder of the power women possess when they embrace their roles with humility and dedication. Her obedience led her to become the blessed mother of Jesus Christ, a role model for countless generations of women who have followed in her footsteps.

On this special day, we are one in celebrating every women's resilience and determination worldwide. We us honor the sacrifices made by our mothers, sisters, and daughters, who have shown us the true meaning of love, compassion, and obedience. Let us remember that a strength of a woman lies in unity.

As we continue to strive for gender equality and empower women in all aspects of life, let us take inspiration from Mama Mary's obedience and carry it forward in our own lives. May her example guide us in our pursuit of justice, love, and understanding, and may we always remember that we are capable of achieving greatness when we trust in ourselves and in the divine plan.

Happy International Women's Day to all the wonderful women out there! More than ever, we celebrate you everyday. May God bless womanhood!

Babae ka, hindi babae lang! 💜

O Señor Santo Niño, You are our king and our god, we worship you, you are our strong Defender, we turn to you; You are the Patron of Cebu and Philippines, we come to you; You have made extraordinary wonders. Through your miraculous Image in these chosen islands, remember us. Look down at this poor soul that comes to You for help. Lead us with your wisdom, discipline us with Your Truth, console us with Your Tenderness, protect us with Your Might.

We consecrate today our thoughts to You, only with You shall they be occupied; our words, only of you shall they speak; our sufferings, that we may endure them for your sake. We beg You, Señor Santo Niño, illumine our understanding, kindle our will, cleanse our body, sanctify our soul. We wish what you wish, because you wish, as you wish, as long as you wish.

Grant us, Señor Santo Niño, that we may feel love toward You, be strict toward ourselves, be zealous toward our fellowmen, and rightly despise the things of the world. Help us to overcome sensuality with strict discipline, avariciousness with generosity, anger with gentleness, indolence with zealous industry. Make us wise in counsel, courageous in danger, patient in adversity, humble in prosperity.

Teach us, dear Santo Niño, how worthless is the world, how sublime is heaven, how brief is time, how long is eternity. Grant us, lastly, that we may remember You, adore You, and serve You here on earth that we may be happy with You forever and ever in Heaven. Amen

Sa Pista ng Mahal na Nazareno, ipinagdiriwang natin ang walang hanggang pag-ibig at pag-asa na hatid ng Poong Nazareno. Nawa'y ang kanyang debosyon ay magbigay inspirasyon sa atin at buksan ang pinto para sa mga pagpapala ngayon.

Katamis-tamisan naming mahal na Poong Jesus
Nazareno, Diyos at Manunubos ko, na
naglalakbay sa Kalbaryong pasan-pasan Mo
ang Krus na pagpapakuan sa Iyo.

Akong abang makasalanan, na naging dahilan ng Iyong
di masayod na hirap ay nagpupuri sa Iyo at
nagpapasalamat, na bilang maamong Kordero ay
buong hinahong tinanggap Mo sa ibabaw ng Iyong
balikat ang kahoy ng Iyong kamatayan upang doon
mawakasan ang aking mga kasalanan at ng
sandaigdigan.

Patawarin mo ako, O Butihing Jesus; inaamin ko ang
aking mga sala at ako’y nananalig na dahil sa
kabutihan Mong walang kahulilip ay hugasan Mo ng
Iyong Dugo. Iniibig Kita ng higit sa lahat ng bagay,
ipinangangako na ako’y magiging matapat hanggang
sa oras ng aking kamatayan. Patnubayan Mo ako,
Diyos ko, ng Iyong biyaya at ihatid Mo ako sa landas ng
Iyong mga Utos diyan sa Iyong Langit na Kaharian.
