“Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” (Genesis 3:19)

Yesterday, we began the season of Lent, marked by Ash Wednesday—a time to pause, reflect, and remember the fragility of life. The ashes we receive remind us of our mortality and the importance of living with purpose and humility.

This day invites us to look inward and examine our hearts. It is a moment to repent of our mistakes, seek forgiveness, and renew our commitment to live with compassion, love, and faith.

As we wear the mark of the ashes, let it be a symbol not only of mortality but also of hope and transformation. May this season of Lent inspire us to let go of what holds us back and step forward with hearts renewed in faith and humility.

Kung Hei Fat Choi! 🎉🇨🇳

Today we celebrate the annual Lunar New Year’s Day, or also known as Spring Festival. 🧧

In China, it is the most significant 15-day festival since it serves as a foundation for preserving family harmony, paying respect to ancestors, and welcoming rebirth. It stands for a new beginning, getting rid of bad luck and welcoming good fortune. It also strengthens cultural identity through customs like reunion banquets and crimson décor we often see outside at this time of the year. 🏮

When God speaks to us, do we truly hear from Him?

Today, February 11, marks the Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes. Let this day be a reminder that God is always speaking to us, in mysterious ways. May it be through prayer, purpose, or visions.

Our Lady of Lourdes is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which recalls when she first appeared to a sickly child, whom we now know as St. Bernadette. She is a symbol of prayer, guidance, and healing, reminding us that suffering is seen, felt, and loved. Through Our Lady of Lourdes, peace is poured out gently.

Sancta Maria, pray for us.

“Gratia non tollit naturam, sed perficit eam."—Summa Theologiae, I, q. 1, a. 8 🌿☀️
Today we commemorate the Angelic Doctor of the Church, Saint Thomas Aquinas. 🙏⛪️
We honor his unparalleled contributions to theology and philosophy, specifically his mastery in harmonizing faith and reason. 📜 🕊️
On this Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas, we reflect upon his teaching in the Summa Theologiae: “Grace does not destroy nature, but perfects it.” May we seek to align our human reason with Divine Revelation in the pursuit of ultimate Truth. ⚖️ 📖

“Guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.” — St. Paul (2 Timothy 1:14)

On this day, we commemorate the Memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus — faithful disciples and companions of St. Paul who embodied courage, obedience, and steadfast faith. Entrusted with leading early Christian communities, they served as shepherds who nurtured the Church through teaching, guidance, and unwavering devotion to the Gospel. Their lives remind us of the importance of standing firm in truth while serving others with humility and love. 🙏🏼

As we honor them today, we are called to follow their example of faithfulness, responsibility, and commitment to God’s mission. May Saints Timothy and Titus inspire us to be courageous witnesses of Christ, to lead with compassion, and to uphold the values of integrity and service in our daily lives.

“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.”
-St. Francis de Sales

Today, January 24th, we observe the memorial of St. Francis de Sales, one of many saints holding the title of Bishop and Doctor of the Church.

Born in 1567, France, St. Francis de Sales is known for his soft wisdom, promoted authenticity, used tenderness above severity, emphasized calmness, patience (particularly with oneself), and doing small acts with tremendous love for God. He taught the people that holiness is for everyone, and that true devotion is through developing inner serenity, discovering God in daily life, and unconditional love that are all necessary components of sincere devotion.

He is known as the patron saint of writers, journalists, and the Catholic press as his writings are influential and used it to explain faith to the people. Not only that, he was also known as the patron saint of the deaf as he used sign language in order to preach which led to his patronage.

It is important to commemorate St. Francis de Sales as he teaches us to have a loving and peaceful approach to faith, to live a holy life in everyday situations, and to have patience with others, especially to yourself.

“One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world” — Malala Yousafzai 💡 🌍

Education is the primary catalyst to acquire perspectives and change lives of one another. Today, we celebrate the educators, students, and advocates working to ensure that knowledge remains within. 📚✨

Remember, the more we learn, the more we realize how much we do not know. Let our youthful minds wonder until we allow the seeds of information to take root in the soil of imagination. 🌱🧠

"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die." - John 11: 25-26

As we commemorate All Souls' Day, let this be a reminder for us to remember and honor the faithful departed, as well as our loved ones who are no longer with us. Yet, their presence remains close to us through the memories we hold, filled with everlasting love and comfort that continues to guide us along the way. 🕯️

To every family that is lighting candles and offering their prayers for the faithful departed, the UST SHS TOMAS extends its deepest sympathy. Let us find light in Christ's promise of eternal life and peace. 🫂

Today, as we celebrate All Saints’ Day, let us take a moment to honor the holy men and women who lived lives of extraordinary faith, courage, and devotion. 🌾

Each saint serves as a reminder that holiness is possible in everyday life, through patience in the face of struggle, kindness in even the smallest moments, and steadfast trust in God’s plan. Their stories tell of hope that endures and love that transforms. The saints faced trials, yet their hearts remained anchored in grace, proving that faith can turn even the simplest acts into reflections of divine light.

May this day awaken a desire to live with that same quiet strength and compassion. Likewise, in honoring the saints, may our hearts find inspiration to choose goodness and serve others.
