At the outset, I wish greet everyone, a Blessed Happy Easter! Many people, most especially the young ones, think that Christmas may be the merriest, most-awaited, and most-enjoyed, thus the biggest celebration we have in the whole year.
But wait, this is not to belittle the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, or His coming [...]

The Solemnity of the Infant Jesus as King is commemorated with today’s Gospel (only here in the Philippines)* enshrining the little child: “Let the children come to Me, and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you that whoever does not receive [...]

I’d not like to let this month pass by without a special post about the Holy Rosary. (This is a devotional prayer of Catholics, which is composed of the Our Father, the prayer taught by Jesus Himself, and the Hail Mary*, while honoring, and meditating on, the chief mysteries of the joyful, sorrowful and [...]

(I’m so very sorry this is posted late, but may I still use my special day as the date, for this was supposed to be? I couldn’t let this day pass by without acknowledging it. I was already barred by circumstances beyond my control last year, and so it passed by this blog silently. But [...]

It is heart-warming to know that Czech Republic has its roots in Catholicism, shown in their having a patron saint of long ago. His feast day, September 28, is celebrated as the Czech Statehood Day.
The celebrations are held on Stara Boleslav, where St. Wenceslas was killed, and in Prague, at the St. Vitus Cathedral (Cathedral [...]

So today we celebrate All Souls’ Day, but fewer people now visit cemeteries. Even an editorial in a popular local daily commented that it is ironic that “Filipinos have focused on November 1 as the day when they attend religious ceremonies, pray for the dead, and visit the resting places of their mortal remains”, when [...]
