The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is, by far, one of the most glorious events in Church history. It has defined generations of faith and reverence to the grace of the Almighty God.

To end our Flores de Mayo celebration, it is time to ask ourselves what it really means to be Christian.

The whole point of having the Flores de Mayo celebration is to recalibrate everyone back to the Christian life that can be practiced by every faithful, even in the simplest of ways yet enveloped with profound love to God and to our brothers...

Christianity, as we know it, is more than just a way of life. It is a cause that brings us all together as a family, as a community, and as a communion of souls united in the spirit of Love and Mercy, guarded by the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. To be a Christian in the modern world is to be a continuum of the early Christians who continue to hold on to faith in Jesus. It is about representing Christ in a world that is driven by materialistic causes, selfish intentions, and insecure...

Tambayan sa Seminaryo Podcast NetworkThe Beginning of the Flowers of May: A Call to RenewalEpisode Intro:
Just like the season of Spring, the Catholic Church is always at a point of rejuvenation. This is how the Church survived two thousand years of faith. It is in the constant adoption of the ancient mysticism that the rituals of the Church perpetuate. Also, the month is dedicated to the Mother of God simply because she is the point of origin of the Catholic faith.

What’s in it for me that the Lord has risen from the dead? How does our Christianity become solidified by the faith in the Risen Lord? What is the message of the Resurrection to our modern-day Christian life?

It is what our Lord had promulgated as the universal law of charity. None can ever express true love without experiencing first the hardships and tribulations in doing it. No one truly loves while keeping a safer stand. This act, my dear friends, is the message of the Cross - we are bound to love through hardships as our God was bound to sacrifice His divinity to be with us, His creation, and express His love for us. The cross, more than anything else, is a symbol of Love that transcends all...

Rather, it is the constant reminder that our happiness and freedom come from God alone, and His suffering on the cross reminds us of His covenant to happiness and grace for His beloved creation. He suffered because He loves us so much, even unto death on the cross He shall bear to constantly remind us of that joyous Love He bore for us.

A gracious lady was once a troubled person who wasn’t even sure of the tomorrow she’ll face. Following the wars happening around her, the oppressions from foreigners invading her homeland, and the uncertainties on whether a Savior is coming, she chose to contemplate on her environment and sought God in the midst of it all. She fervently prayed for the salvation of the world. She chose to maintain her silence and look inside it t...

Yes, he has endured a lot like his spouse and adopted son, but he never felt bad or disheartened about it.
The Advent season of this year is no different than that of the first advent. Joseph waited for news on Mary’s whereabouts, her revelation on bearing a child that is from God, on preparing Mary to give birth...
