A new week, a new chance to serve with a generous heart. ❤️‍🔥
St. Ignatius of Loyola reminds us:
"𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨. 𝙏𝙤 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩. 𝙏𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨. 𝙏𝙤 𝙩𝙤𝙞𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 — 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡."

This Monday, let's stop keeping score. Stop waiting for recognition. Stop holding back. Give freely, love boldly, and serve wholeheartedly — because that is where true joy is found. 🙏✨

Let this be the week you go all in — for God, for others, for something greater than yourself. 💪

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | In the spirit of June 12, the Diocesan Commission on Social Concerns (DCSC) of the Diocese of Legazpi held its General Assembly yesterday — a powerful response to the Pastoral Letter on the Current Political and Economic Crisis issued by our beloved Bishop, Most Rev. Joel Z. Baylon.

Here's what went down:
📖 𝗞𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲— A CBCP-endorsed module on Citizen Empowerment was presented to guide our communities toward informed and active citizenship.

🤝 "𝗗𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴" 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁— A call for unity and solidarity among the Filipino people was discussed and embraced.

✍️ 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝘄 — A landmark discussion on a People's Initiative aimed at passing an Anti-Dynasty Law, which will undergo key phases: Signature Gathering, Submission of Petition to COMELEC and National Referendum.

🖊️𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻g — National Signing Day of Dapat Isa Lang Movement led by Bishop Joel Baylon, SAC Executive Director Rev. Fr. Eric Martillano, and DCSC Chair Rev. Fr. Rex Paul Arjona — a historic moment of commitment to truth, justice, and reform.

The assembly was capped off with a follow-through discussion from the 2nd Diocesan Anti-Poverty Summit, keeping the momentum alive for meaningful change.

💬 "𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦 — 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘱𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺, 𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯."

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. 🙏

MAHALIN ANG DIYOS, MAHALIN ANG BAYAN. Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the 128th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence.

The Church teaches that “the love and service of one’s country belong to the order of charity” (CCC 2239). Patriotism, therefore, is not separate from our Christian life. We celebrate Independence Day not merely as citizens, but as disciples. And today, the Sacred Heart reminds us what that love should look like: humble, truthful, compassionate, and self-sacrificing.

To love God is also to seek the good of our neighbor and our nation. A faithful Catholic strives to be a good citizen.
