Lift up your hearts to our Lord and Savior who gives his people every spiritual blessing. In the spirit of devotion, let us ask him:
Bless your people, Lord.
Merciful God, strengthen our Pope, and all our bishops,
— keep them free from harm,
Bless your people, Lord.
Look favorably on our country, Lord,
— free us from all evil.
Bless your people, Lord.
Call men to serve at your altar,
— and to follow you more closely in chastity, poverty and obedience.
Bless your people, Lord.
Take care of your handmaidens vowed to virginity,
— that they may follow you, the divine Lamb, wherever you go.
Bless your people, Lord.
May the dead rest in eternal peace,
— may their union with us be strengthened through the sharing of spiritual goods.
Bless your people, Lord.

Reflection: My Take on Being Pro-Life as a Filipino Catholic
This is a day of prayer for the unborn and of penance for the sins committed through acts of abortion. Here is a 2019 Post I wrote about the fight against abortion. My Reflection narrates how I became Pro-Life, and why I care about the Pro-Life updates and issues in the United States, even I’m a Filipino. You, too, must care. Whether you’re from the US or whichever part of the world, I encourage you to take a look back at this article to better understand what being ‘Pro-Life Catholic’ truly means.
This first Post to start off the 20’s offers an absorbing My Reflection. I’m sharing with you my heartfelt personal advice on how to let go of the past… the way I did. Many “practicing” Catholics are still carrying the heavy baggages of the past—hurts, wounds, bad choices, wrong decisions, mistakes, regrets. Here is a Catholic perspective on why letting go of the past will enable you to move on, with God, to have a present and a future. I guarantee that there is so much to reflect on and learn in my piece. Happy New Year 2020!
