Synodality in Action: During the Holy Thursday liturgy, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, delegated the foot-washing ritual to lay men and women. The Eucharist was at the Jesuits' church. Bishop Martin participated in the ritual himself, but he also allowed members of the laity to perform much of the optional Mandatum.

Mga kalamidad, pagsubok nga ba sa pananampalataya ng mga Pinoy? Ang Pagsubok hindi tinatakasan bagamat hinaharap ng may kababaang loob at matibay na pananampalataya sa Diyos!
Franciscan Father Francesco Patton wrote the meditations for tonight's Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome with Pope Leo XIV. Fr Patton served as Custos of the Holy Land from 2016 to 2025. On April 1, he told VaticanNews.va that the inspiration comes from "current reality" and that the meditations are meant to inspire political "change". The Vatican press office published the text today. Traditionally a penitential and contemplative devotion, the Via Crucis is repurposed here as a vehicle for contemporary socio-political reflection. The text shifts from the Passion of Christ to war, refugees, human trafficking, surveillance, deportation, the media, the economy, prisons, hostages, and crackdowns on protests. Notably absent, however, are abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology. One acclamation reads: "For migrants, the displaced, and refugees: Comfort us, O Mother." In the first station, the meditation talks about political and economic power "to start or end a war… the power …Higit pa

Naglabas ang Vatican ng stamp upang parangalan ang "limang sentenaryong (sawing) reporma ng mga Protestante". Ipinapakita ng larawan ang mga Alemang repormador na sina Martin Luther at Philipp Melanchton sa paanan ng krus ni Kristo. Kinuha ito mula sa All Saints' Church ng mga Protestante, na madalas tukuyin bilang Schlosskirche (Kastilyong Simbahan) sa Wittenberg, ang lugar kung saan di umano'y ipinaskil ni Luther ang kanyang siyamnapu't limang sanaysay noong 1517. #newsFmyedesnef
House bill vs religious rites sa gov't offices haharangin. House bill vs religious rites sa gov't offices haharangin Ni Butch Quejada (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated June 20, 2012 MANILA, Philippines - Haharangin ni Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez ang ‘ban God’ bill na inihain kamakailan sa Kamara ng kapwa niya kongresista na naglalayon ipagbawal ang pagdaraos ng religious ceremonies at paglalagay ng religious symbol sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno. Sinabi ni Golez na paglabag umano sa Konstitusyon ang panukala ni Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino. Sinabi ni Golez, maging sa sesyon ng Kongreso ay nagsisimula sa pagdarasal matapos ang pagpapatugtog ng Lupang Hinirang at gayundin aniya sa mga ahensiya ng gobyerno. Sa House bill 6330 ni Palatino, ipagbabawal na ang paglalagay ng krus, santo at maging bibliya sa alinmang ahensya ng gobyerno. Sinabi ni Palatino na wala dapat binibigyan ng pabor na relihiyon ang gobyerno kaya dapat ipagbawal ang pagdaraos ng religious ceremonies at paglalagay ng religious …Higit pa
On Holy Thursday, Leo XIV washed and kissed the feet of 12 priests in the Lateran Basilica. In his homily, he remembered his predecessor: "As Pope Francis once remarked: 'This is a duty that comes from the heart. I love it. I love it and I love doing it, because that is what the Lord has taught me to do.' He was not speaking of an abstract imperative or a formal, empty command, but rather expressing his heartfelt obedience to the charity of Christ, the source and model of our own charity."
Il Giovedì Santo, Papa Leone XIV lava i piedi a 12 sacerdoti.
I am glad Pope Leo XIV has carried out the washing of the feet in a traditional, more dignified and proper way. But, I just don't get this "kissing the feet" thing. The Gospel of St. John tells us Jesus washed the feet of His Apostles, it says nothing about kissing them. I have seen this kissing before and I find it cringey! It comes across - to me - as one-upping Our Lord Jesus, a kind of false humility (like the Francis) or virtue-signaling! Personally, I have never kissed feet during the washing of the feet. In the past it was done (or had the possibility of been done) at a separate ceremony. Now days in many places the whole thing is abused and a bit of a circus. The only feet I'd kiss are the crucified feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. Laudetur Iesus Christus!

"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist.

“The Church has damaged the liturgy of the Mass. It is too noisy now! It’s as if we are celebrating ourselves. It has become a convivial moment, whereas we are there to worship God; we need a liturgy that worships God. We no longer speak of salvation and the soul!” - Robert Cardinal Sarah
