HAPPY FEAST DAY TO
OUR LADY OF FATIMA 🤍🙏🏻 🌹
May 13 | Feast of Our Lady of Fatima

Today, the Church joyfully celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary who appeared in Fatima, Portugal in the year 1917 to three humble shepherd children: Saint Francisco Marto, Saint Jacinta Marto, and Lucia dos Santos.

🌍 She called the world to return to Jesus Christ through:
⛪ Daily prayer of the Holy Rosary
🙏 Penance and sacrifice for sinners
🕊️ Conversion and reparation
💙 Devotion to her Immaculate Heart
🌿 Hope in God’s mercy

“Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war.”
— Our Lady of Fatima

The message of Our Lady of Fatima reminds us that the Rosary is not just a devotion—it is a spiritual weapon. It is a chain that binds us to Heaven, a prayer that drives away darkness, and a path that leads us closer to Jesus through Mary.

The first Labor Day in the Philippines was celebrated on May 1, 1903, when more than 100,000 workers marched to Malacañang to demand fair wages and better working conditions!

This historic event, led by the Union Obrera Democratica de Filipinas, marked the beginning of organized labor activism in the country and helped shape the rights we enjoy today as Filipino workers.

Today, we salute all hardworking Filipinos 🫡

A great positive quote for Wednesday is: "Wednesdays are tough, but so are you". This phrase highlights that while the middle of the week is often challenging, you have the strength to overcome it and finish strong.

Centennial Coronation of Our Lady of Manaoag today, April 22, 2026.

It is the third Marian icon in the Philippines to receive a canonical coronation (April 22, 1926). The 100th anniversary of this coronation was celebrated on April 22, 2026.

Our Lady of Manaoag (Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag) is a 17th-century Roman Catholic ivory image of the Virgin Mary in Manaoag, Pangasinan, Philippines. Known for countless reported miracles, it is a major pilgrimage site, particularly renowned for the 1610 apparition where Mary appeared to a farmer, which named the town ("Manaoag" meaning "to call").

Easter Sunday scriptures focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, highlighting victory over death, new life, and hope. Key verses include Matthew 28:5-6 ("He is not here; he has risen"),

John 11:25-26 ("I am the resurrection and the life"), and 1 Corinthians 15:20-21 (Christ as the firstfruits of the dead)

"He is not here; he has risen!" (Luke 24:6-7) and "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25-26)

Black Saturday, or Holy Saturday, is the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, marking the time Jesus Christ lay in the tomb. It is a solemn day of silence, reflection, and mourning, symbolizing the darkness after the crucifixion before the joy of the Resurrection. 🙏✝️

On Good Friday, Christians commemorate the arrest, trial, crucifixion, death, and burial of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. He was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, scourged, mocked by soldiers, forced to carry his cross, and crucified at Calvary (Golgotha) before dying and being buried.✝️

The Seven Last Words of Jesus are the final seven phrases spoken while hanging on the cross, as recorded in the Gospels. They are profound utterances of forgiveness, salvation, filial relationship, abandonment, physical suffering, victory, and trust in God.

The Seven Sayings (in traditional order):
1. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) - A prayer for his executioners.
2. "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43) - Spoken to the penitent thief.
3. "Woman, behold your son: behold your mother." (John 19:26-27) - Entrusting Mary and the beloved disciple to one another.
4. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34) - Expressing the agony of feeling abandoned by God.
5. "I thirst." (John 19:28) - Expressing his physical suffering.
6. "It is finished." (John 19:30) - Indicating the completion of his earthly ministry and salvation mission.
7. "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46) - Final act of surrender.

On the Thursday before Good Friday and Easter, many Christians observe Maundy Thursday. This day commemorates Jesus’s last supper with his disciples. During that meal in the upper room, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and gave them a new commandment: “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (John 13:34). The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning “command.”
