JUST IN: The Vatican has rejected the German bishops’ request for lay people to preach at Mass
This is bc “the reservation of the homily to a priest or deacon is not a mere disciplinary norm but derives from the very nature of the liturgy”
Pope Leo XIV in a very practical Lenten Message to all Christians says:
“I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated form of abstinence: that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgement, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities. In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace.”

Praying with Scripture opens the door for an intimate relationship with God who through these sacred writings invites us into conversation with Him. I encourage you to read and contemplate the inspired word of God daily. May the Word of God nourish our hearts and minds and lead us to the fullness of life. #GeneralAudience
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. The Sierra Madre mountain range serves as Luzon's natural fortress. It's the Philippines' first line of defense against climate-induced disasters such as tropical cyclones. Losing her will cause more trouble. Protect her as she does us. #UwanPH#FungWong
🌿Sierra Madre is our shield.
More than just a mountain range, the Sierra Madre is a 540-km natural fortress that helps weaken typhoons before they strike Luzon.
🌏 Protect the Mother of Mountains before it's too late. #SaveSierraMadre 💚🛡️

We were inflamed by the assassination of Ninoy Aquino in 1983. That murder was too much to ignore or bear. Three years later, we pushed back against the Marcos dictatorship’s impunity and corruption. We kicked them out. Pity, many of us forgot. Remember. #BuhayAngEDSA

One lazy morning in May 1977, Luis "Boyet" Mijares' tortured body was thrown out of a military helicopter. He was the 16 yr old son of former Marcos propagandist Primitivo Mijares who testified against Marcos in the U.S. Congress in 1975 & wrote the book The Conjugal Dictatorship
Poverty, dahilan daw para gawin ang Maharlika???
Villar: "Napakalaking emergency po ang poverty at kailangan nating mag-isip ng mga paraan [tulad ng Maharlika] para mapabilis ang pagbangon ng ekonomiya."
NOPE. Kung-ano-ano nang dahilan ang ginamit to justify this!!!
@ABSCBNNews@mikenavallo Let's make it clear, the SC ruled that the case was dismissed due to technical issues pertaining to the pieces of evidence provided. But they did not specify that the marcoses were INNOCENT for the crimes of ammasing ill-gotten wealth.
Why is it that when Duterte and Marcos officials and supporters praise the South China Sea ITLOS arbitral ruling they NEVER EVER mention the late President Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino III as the man who made all these possible. Is Noynoy "he who must not be named?"
Philippine Coast Guard confirms China Coast Guard vessels blocked and shadowed them while on their way to Ayungin Shoal (Second Thomas Shoal) last June 30.
