💙✝️ HAPPY FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY! 📿🌹

Ngayong araw, sama-sama nating ipinagdiriwang ang Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Isang magandang paalala na sa bawat pagsubok, hindi tayo nag-iisa. Sa panalangin, natatagpuan natin ang lakas, kapayapaan, at pag-asang nagmumula sa Diyos. 🙏

Sa bawat Hail Mary na ating binibigkas, let us offer our prayers for our families, our communities, our Church, and for those who are in need of healing, comfort, and hope. ❤️

Nawa'y lagi tayong gabayan ni Mama Mary upang mas makilala, mahalin, at sundan natin ang kanyang Anak na si Jesus. At tulad ng kanyang halimbawa, matuto rin tayong magsabi: “Yes, Lord, I trust in You.” 🌹

Let us pray the Rosary with faith, hope, and love.
Dahil ang bawat butil ng Rosaryo ay isang paalala na ang panalangin ay may kapangyarihang maglapit sa atin sa Diyos.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! 🙏
Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, lead us closer to Jesus. 💙✝️

Isang makabuluhan at mapagpalang araw ang ating pinagsaluhan kahapon, September 12, 2026, sa San Bartolome de Novaliches Parish, para sa PWD Spirituality & Awareness Session.

Sa buong araw na session, nagkaroon tayo ng pagkakataong mas maunawaan ang spirituality, ministry, dignity, rights, accessibility, at inclusion ng Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). Higit sa kaalaman, naging pagkakataon din ito upang makita natin ang tunay na diwa ng paglilingkod—ang makinig, umunawa, makiisa, at magmahal. 💙
