During his Sunday Angelus address, Pope Francis announces a year to study more
deeply the content of the Apostolic Exhortation “Amoris

regenerates relationships, opening up horizons of hope.”
Pope Francis invited everyone “to take part in the initiatives that will be
promoted during the year, and that will be coordinated by the
Dicastery for Laity, the Family, and Life.”

What Francis
might mean by ‘Fratelli Tutti’
Carmen M. Nanko-Fernández, 3 October 2020
If you want to understand Pope Francis, it helps to know tango, soccer lingo,
and colloquial Argentinian Spanish. Making sense of Francis, I propose, also
requires an ability to think in hyperlinks.
In other words, what he says opens paths to multiple references that further
enrich and expand possibilities for interpretation. Francis plays with language
and space.
This is clear from the fact that his first trip outside of Rome was to
Lampedusa, and most recently, in the title of his forthcoming encyclical,
Fratelli tutti, to be signed in Assisi at the tomb of St. Francis.
Before release of encyclical 'Fratelli tutti', pope draws a sketch of post-COVID
world
Francis has used his Wednesday general audience the past several weeks to offer
his vision of creating a better world after the pandemic
Loup Besmond de Senneville Vatican City September 30, 2020
Pope Francis these past two months has been trying to answer a thorny question
that all of humanity must grapple with as it seeks to emerge from the
coronavirus pandemic: how do we build a better, post-COVID world?
An encyclical for all brothers and sisters
Andrea Tornielli 16 September 2020
While waiting to know the contents of the document, there has been some
discussion about the title and how to translate it inclusively. An encyclical,
though, is per se a universal text, and Pope Francis truly wants to speak to the
heart of each and every person. The Holy See Press Office announces that the
text will be published on 4 October.
Whatever it is, title of new papal encyclical not ‘anti-feminist’
Elise Ann Allen Sep 9, 2020
Fratelli Tutti has been literally translated from the Italian into “All
Brothers” in English, with some arguing that the phrase is exclusive of women.
However, one person who has worked on translating Vatican and papal documents
has said the choice of the title has little to do with sensitivities but is the
result of standard Vatican protocol. |

Ut unum sint (Latin: 'That they may be one')
is an encyclical by Pope John Paul II of 25 May 1995.
Ut Unum Sint was the first encyclical ever devoted exclusively

magisterium, Pope John Paul affirmed that the ecumenical commitment made at
Vatican II was irreversible. He taught his fellow Catholics that the quest for
Christian unity ought to be sustained both internationally and in the local
churches

Lectio Divina
In Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, or Anglicanism Lectio Divina (Latin for
"Divine Reading") is a traditional monastic practice of scriptural reading,
meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the
knowledge of God's word. In the view of one commentator, it does not treat
scripture as texts to be studied, but as the living word.
Traditionally, Lectio Divina has four separate steps: read; meditate; pray;
contemplate. First a passage of scripture is read, then its meaning is reflected
upon. This is followed by prayer and contemplation on the Word of God

Christ the King Sunday
On the last Sunday of the liturgical year, Catholics celebrate
the Solemnity of Christ the King
commonly referred to as the
Feast of Christ
the King or Christ the King Sunday, is a relatively recent addition to the
Western liturgical calendar, having been instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI for
the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church
A King with a
heart
Fr. Jerry M. Orbos SVD November 22, 2020
Today is the Solemnity of Christ, the King of the Universe. In today’s Gospel
(Mt. 25, 31-46), we hear of the final judgment wherein the Lord will separate
those who will or will not enter His kingdom, based on what they did, or did not
do to others. The bottom line is our compliance to our King’s commandment that
we love one another.
Christ the King feast marked; Catholics end liturgical year
November 21, 2020 Christina Hermoso
As Roman Catholics celebrate the Solemnity of the Christ the King tomorrow,
November 22, a Church leader highlighted the kind of king that Jesus is – a king

authority to teach doctrine, on matters of faith, morals, and salvation. But
the Church also has temporal authority, so that She can make practical decisions, discipline needed to function as a Church within the world, as a Church whose

Many Christians (especially Roman Catholics Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans,
and Orthodox) also bring their candles to their local church, where they are
blessed and then used for the rest of the year; for Christians, these blessed
candles serve as a symbol of Jesus Christ, who referred to himself as the Light
of the World.

paten. The ordinary minister of a consecration is a bishop, while the ordinary
minister of a blessing is a priest. At a consecration, holy oils are normally
used; at blessings, customarily holy water. |

Liturgy of the Hours - Divine Office - Canonical hours
Liturgy of the Hours (Latin: Liturgia Horarum) or Divine
Office (Latin: Officium Divinum) or canonical hours, often referred to as the
Breviary, is the official set of daily prayers prescribed by the Catholic Church
to be recited by clergy, religious institutes, and the laity. It consists
primarily of Psalms supplemented by hymns, readings and other prayers. Together
with the Mass, it constitutes the official public prayer life of the Church.

The Angelus, latin for angel, is a devotion in memory
of the Incarnation
The devotion was traditionally recited in Roman
Catholic churches, convents, and monasteries three times daily: 6:00 am,
noon, and 6:00 pm, many churches still follow the devotion, and some
practice it at home. The Angelus is usually accompanied by the ringing
of the Angelus bell, which is a call to prayer and to spread good-will

What is the Holy Eucharist?
The Holy Eucharist is a sacrament and a sacrifice. In the Holy Eucharist, under
the appearances of bread and wine, the Lord Christ is contained, offered, and
received.
The Eucharist also known as Holy Communion and the Lord's Supper among other
names is a Christian rite that is considered a sacrament in most churches, and
as an ordinance in others. According to the New Testament, the rite was
instituted by Jesus Christ during the Last Supper; giving his disciples bread
and wine during a Passover meal, Jesus commanded his disciples to "do this in
memory of me" while referring to the bread as "my body" and the cup of wine as
"the new covenant in my blood". |

Letter to Bishops on the bread and wine for the Eucharist -
Full text
The English language translation of Circular letter to Bishops on the bread and
wine for the Eucharist
July 08, 2017
The bread used in the celebration of the Most
Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be
unleavened, purely of wheat, and recently made so that there is no danger of
decomposition.
The wine that is used in the most sacred celebration of the Eucharistic
Sacrifice must be natural, from the fruit of the grape, pure and incorrupt, not
mixed with other substances. |
 |
A tabernacle
is a fixed, locked box in which, in some Christian churches,
the Eucharist is "reserved" (stored). A less obvious container for the same
purpose, set into a wall, is called an aumbry.
Within Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and in some congregations of Anglicanism
and Lutheranism, a tabernacle is a box-like vessel for the exclusive reservation
of the consecrated Eucharist. It is normally made of metal, stone or wood, is
lockable and secured to its altar or adjacent wall to prevent the consecrated
elements within from being removed without authorization. |
 |
Indulgence
In the teaching of the Catholic Church, an indulgence (Latin: indulgentia, from
indulgeo, 'permit') is "a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to
undergo for sins".[1] The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes an
indulgence as "a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins
whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly
disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the
Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with
authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and all of the saints"

Priest reminds parents: No superhero costumes on your child’s Christening
February 28, 2021 Leslie Ann AquinoHow should parents dress up their children
who are to be baptized? Definitely not in superhero costumes.
Parents should garb their children in white and not in costumes, said Fr.
Reginald Malicdem, rector of the Manila Cathedral, recalling instances where
babies who were to be baptized wore costumes like Superman, Batman, Spiderman or
that of a dinosaur.
“The baptismal garment is white because this is a sign of our Christian
dignity,” he said in his homily during a Mass on Sunday, February 28. |

Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle and other priests baptized 400 children

foundation's programs for the poor.
He also reminded godparents that their duty is not to give gifts, but to help
parents in raising their children.
Organizers said they want to dispel the notion that Catholics need to pay for
the sacraments – which, they said, keeps the poor away from baptism. |

Hindi Kita Malilimutan - Song for the dead
Every year, Filipinos gather with their families to
pay respect to their departed loved ones. As with the other stages of
life, death is traditionally commemorated through customs and rituals
that usually involve music. In recent times, popular love songs are
being sung or played during funerals as people say goodbye to their
departed. Perhaps the most popular is Hindi Kita Malilimutan popularized
by Basil Valdez and composed by Manoling Francisco, SJ in 1979, with
lyrics based on the Book of Isaiah from the Old Testament.

Bataan bishop scraps fees for funeral Masses
Paterno Esmaquel II March 13, 2019
Balanga Bishop Ruperto Santos ordered the scrapping of fees for funeral Masses
in his diocese, which covers Bataan province, to ease the burden of families and
friends of the deceased.
This is the latest in a growing trend in the Philippine Catholic Church to scrap
the arancel system, or the practice of imposing taxes on 'free' church services. |

Purgatory is not Hell
minus a few torments and degrees Fahrenheit; it's not Heaven minus joy.
It's not a "Third Final Destination" of souls. Purgatory is simply the
place where already saved souls are cleansed of the temporal effects of
sin before they are allowed to see the holy face of Almighty God.
Revelation 21:27 tells us that "...nothing unclean will enter Heaven."

The traditions to offer novena prayers at the home of the
departed that ends with a simple meal. Both of them are reckoned from the day of
the death of the loved one though some places people set it from the day of the
first mass said for the soul of the dearly departed. The "ritual" simply
consists of regular formulaic prayer, novena for the dead and several litanies
that can be recited from memory by the "prayer warriors" probably due to almost
everyday usage.

The cost of dying in the Philippines: Can you afford it?
Ralf Rivas November 01, 2019
While death is said to be the great equalizer, the divide between the rich and
the poor is still evident in how they are sent off.
Living is expensive. Departing is pricey, too.
While death absolves one of debt and all other financial obligations, loved ones
carry the burden of the cost of burial and other services on top of grief. |

Hostaging the dead: An emergent trend in PH state terror
September 16, 2020 Kobi Tolentino
'With state terrorists, even the dead are held captive, and the poor families

remains are putrefied'
Under Rodrigo Duterte, the horrendous act of taking dead bodies as hostages
seems to have become part of the military and police’s standard operating
protocol. |

Why the Catholic Church prefers traditional burial
Oct 31, 2016
Ashes of the dead after
cremation should not be scattered or kept at homes to avoid desecration of human
remains and should still be buried because of the Catholic church's belief in
the resurrection of the body-- ‘Second tragedy’: Cremation traumatizes in
virus-hit PH
May 3, 2020 Manila Bulletin Online
Families of coronavirus (COVID-19) victims in the Philippines are being denied
traditional death rites in favour of hurried, impersonal cremations, with virus
restrictions often meaning they are forbidden a last look at their loved ones.
It is a painful and disorienting process for both the families and crematory
workers that has upended the Philippines’ intimate rituals of laying the dead to
rest. |

Oct 27, 2016
Praktikal ang cremation para sa karamihan dahil pwede raw makasama ang yumaong
mahal sa buhay kahit saan magpunta. Ang iba, inuuwi ang abo sa bahay o nilalagay
sa locket ng kwintas. Pero sabi ng Vatican, hindi dapat gawin iyon. Ang labi ng
yumao, kahit na-cremate, dapat pa ring ilagay sa tamang himlayan. |
