On Saturdays, the Church doesn't hold regular liturgical celebrations. During the Middle Ages, a misunderstanding caused the Easter Vigil, known as the "Mother of all vigils," to be held early on Holy Saturday morning. However, Pope Pius XII corrected this in 1951 and 1955, restoring the traditional order, which was later included in the new Missal of 1970.

During this sacred night, the Church remains in a state of waiting, keeping vigil for Christ's resurrection and the upcoming sacraments. The Service of Light involves blessing the fire, lighting the paschal candle, and entering the church, continuing until the Exultet is chanted.

In the Liturgy of the Word, we hear seven Old Testament readings, one from Saint Paul, and the Easter Gospel, showcasing God's steadfastness to His people.

The Baptismal Liturgy includes adult baptisms or blessing the water, followed by renewing baptismal vows and sprinkling with blessed water.

The Eucharistic Liturgy allows us to share in Jesus' sacrifice through the command, "Do this in memory of me," and our response, "We proclaim your death, O Lord, and celebrate your Resurrection until you return."

Easter Sunday celebrations begin during the night with Masses that extend the joy and reverence of the Resurrection, reminding us that what truly matters is often unseen.

Happy Easter everyone!

On Holy Tuesday, the Gospel tells us of Jesus teaching in the temple. His words carried authority, exposing hypocrisy and calling His listeners back to truth. He spoke not to impress but to awaken, urging people to live with integrity and faithfulness.

In our own time, we see echoes of this moment as our country, the Philippines continues to wrestle with issues of corruption, poverty, disinformation, and inequality. Like the temple that had lost its sacred purpose, many of our institutions and communities struggle with abuse and misuse of power.

Holy Tuesday reminds us that Christ does not remain silent in the face of injustice. His teaching challenges us to confront what is false, to stand for what is right, and to live with integrity even when it is difficult. His words are not meant to condemn but to guide us back to holiness and wholeness.

This day is not only about remembering what Jesus said long ago. It is about asking how His words speak into our present moment. Are we willing to let His truth guide how we respond to corruption, dishonesty, and indifference?

May we open our hearts to His teaching today. When Christ’s words take root, they bring light into dark places, and they lead us toward a society that is more just, compassionate, and faithful.
