One of the most powerful prayers in the Church’s arsenal is just three words: Come Holy Spirit! Use those three words when you don’t know what to say. The Holy Spirit brings us everything we need. @thegnewsroom

Joe Mazzulla, the devout Catholic head coach of the Boston Celtics who has previously spoken about his desire to become a deacon, has been named the NBA Coach of the Year.

Encontré un versículo bíblico muy hermoso. ❤️ NAHUM 1:9 Llegará un momento en que ese problema ya no te molestará, no porque lo hayas olvidado, sino porque Dios lo eliminó de una vez por todas.

Pope Leo XIV is inviting Catholics around the world to join him in praying a rosary for peace on May 30. The Holy Father is set to pray the rosary live from the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens at 7 p.m. Rome time. Monsignor Walter R. Rossi, rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., will join Pope Leo in praying the rosary with a simultaneous livestream at 1 p.m. ET, according to a May 22 press release. Shrines that have joined the initiative, coordinated by the Dicastery for Evangelization, include: the Shrine of the Mother of God (Zarvanytsia, Ukraine); the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Antipolo, Philippines); the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary (Fátima, Portugal); the Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace (Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina); the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Lourdes, France); the Shrine of St. Charbel Annaya (Byblos, Lebanon); and the Pontifical Shrine of the Holy House (Loreto, Italy). “As the preeminent Marian shrine and patronal church of the United States, the basilica joins shrines throughout the world in this worldwide rosary with the Holy Father,” according to a statement from the basilica in Washington, D.C. “All are invited to participate in this special moment of unity and prayer for peace throughout the world.” During his homily at Pentecost, Leo called Catholics to pray to the Holy Spirit to “save us from the evil of war, which is overcome not by a superpower but by the omnipotence of love.” Leo has issued repeated calls for peace around the world, including the Middle East, Africa, and Ukraine, since the start of his pontificate. ewtnnews.com/world/us/vatic…

Deus seja louvado 🙏🏻🙌🏻 Bombeiros recuperaram, Jesus Eucarístico continuava intacto dentro do Sacrário no altar mor da Igreja Matriz de Flores da Cunha, o incêndio foi tão intenso que derreteu metais no altar e na nave central. #Milagre #JesusEucaristico #Incendio

DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? I would bet 9 out of 10 Catholics have never heard his name. This man voluntarily walked into a Nazi concentration camp. He was not arrested. Not forced. Not captured. He chose to enter. When the Nazis questioned him, he answered: “I am a priest. I go where my people go.” For 3 years inside Dachau, Father Jean Bernard ministered to prisoners surrounded by death. He heard confessions in secret. He gave last rites to the dying. He buried the dead with his bare hands. The guards beat him for praying out loud. He never stopped. While millions know the names of dictators and murderers, almost nobody knows the priest who walked willingly into hell just to stay beside suffering souls. His name was Father Jean Bernard. And every Catholic school should know it. Drop ✝️ if you think this priest’s courage should never be forgotten.

They never bragged about their Latin honors but their portfolio of legislative work are laws that are socially significant to Filipinos. MARCOBETA, what's his distinguished academic accolade? Persistently being a follicle-challenged villain cult pug?

🇧🇷 Un devastador incendio destruyó la Iglesia Matriz de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes, en Brasil. Las llamas consumieron gran parte del templo gótico, construido en 1914, y provocaron el colapso total de su techo de madera. En medio de la tragedia, una imagen de Jesucristo fue encontrada intacta entre las cenizas, sin sufrir daños. Además, los bomberos rescataron sin afectaciones los dos copones con la Sagrada Eucaristía que permanecían en el sagrario del altar mayor.

If I were Boying, instead of building a case for plunder against Joel the Liar for the flood control anomalies, isn't enforcing the old but valid Dismissal Order issued by ex-Ombudsman Conchita Morales but held by ex-Ombudsdoggie Martirez be much faster? Andyan na yan eh.

Two things I liked about this interview, all coming from Madam Karmina: (1) Yung sinasabi ni Marcobeta na May 11 pa lang he brought up already the the idea of “absentee participation” sa senate sessions, which should have been brought up, discussed in a committee, and findings presented in the plenary for discussion and approval. PERO HINDI ITO NANGYARI and ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY MARCOBETA for viva voce voting last May 26? (2) Sabi nga ni Karmina, yung mga estudyante sa remote areas, hirap na hirap magpunta sa eskwelahan, tatawid pa ng ilog, maglalakad ng ilang kilometro para maka-attend lang ng klase. And here you are, fugitive and/or jailed senators being allowed to participate ONLINE in the comfort (?) of their hideout/prison cells? AT SUMUSWELDO PA? Unbelievable!

Se está cena não te comover, parar para pensar, nada mais fará: Imagem de Jesus Cristo retirada intacta após incêndio da em IGREJA DE FLORES DA CUNHA.🙌

On my Manila Legazpi flight this morning, I received a surprise note and touching gesture from the crew of Flight PR 2919. In the evening CEBUPAC flight 5K 320 back to Manila, on the other hand, as we disembarked from the plane, I received this thank you note from two Manila bound passengers. Thank you to PAL FAs Erin, Bea, Drina and Alex and to CebuPac fellow passengers Kytrie and Charia for your kindness and your heartwarming acts of appreciation for the work that we do. It isn’t an easy job but some of us have to do it because we can and we ought to and yes as you put it, to fight for and to build a better Philippines especially for you the youth. Your show of support inspires me and helps strengthen my resolve to continue to do right for you, your generation, our nation and our people. We draw strength and inspiration from one another and in time our tireless efforts shall bear fruit. Salamat ng marami. Para sa bayan. 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Simply put, yes.

Rodante Marcoleta - One of Duterte’s Attack Dog. The recent Senate walkout by the Minority became even more significant because of former Senate President Tito Sotto, who showed deep mastery of Senate rules and ultimately forced the adjournment of the session. Ironically, the same people who mock him as just a “comedian” watched him outmaneuver lawyers and seasoned politicians through pure procedural knowledge. What also stood out was the arrogance displayed by Senator Rodante Marcoleta during the hearing. When Sen. Risa Hontiveros questioned the rules, Marcoleta attacked her for not being a lawyer instead of addressing the actual issue. Even Sen. Erwin Tulfo called it out as an ad hominem attack. Critics say the issue with Marcoleta goes far beyond that one exchange. Many continue questioning his conduct, positions, and record in public office. Among the controversies often raised against him are: • his major role in the non-renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise
• his proposal to remove crucifixes in Philippine hospitals
• his statement suggesting Rodrigo Duterte should replace Dr. Jose Rizal as national hero
• his remarks saying Noche Buena no longer needed to be celebrated
• his controversial statement about giving up the Kalayaan Islands to China, which he later denied and claimed was taken out of context
• his promise that households consuming less than ₱2,000 in electricity would no longer pay bills
• and the controversy surrounding the ₱75 million in donations he admitted receiving from friends during his Senate campaign, which is now under Ombudsman scrutiny that he calls “political persecution”. Critics also pointed out the irony of Marcoleta criticizing the Minority walkout when he himself had previously walked out during another Senate hearing. For many observers, this reflects a pattern of aggression, inconsistency, and unnecessary hostility inside the Senate. The larger frustration of many Filipinos is not just about politics, but about dignity and professionalism in the Senate. Many believe debates should focus on laws, accountability, and public service, not arrogance, personal attacks, and political theatrics.

@bncdotph sa middle east normal ang buhay.. may pasok ang schools at government offices, bukas ang mga malls at department stores.. open sa public ang parks .. tapos tayo mag oonline ang senate ? tageres naman kabobohan ang gusto ng senator na ito

‘HINDI PO BA ITO FORCE MAJEURE?’ Sen. Robin Padilla questioned why escalating tensions in the Middle East and the possibility of the Philippines getting dragged into a China-Taiwan conflict are not being considered ‘force majeure’ under Senate rules. Padilla raised the issue following heated Senate debates over proposals allowing senators to attend sessions and vote through teleconference during emergencies or extraordinary situations. | via Hannah Ty, bnc.ph

'TAPOS ANG ILAN SA AMIN GUSTO ONLINE TRABAHO?' Muling bumanat si Senator Erwin Tulfo sa kanyang social media post matapos ang mainit na debate sa Senado kaugnay sa pagdalo ng senador sa session via online.

Grabe. Ang pinakasukdulan talaga ay yung tangang mayabang. Maipasok lang ang sariling katwiran, gagamitin na ang batas na parang goma — iuunat, pipilipitin, babaluktutin — para lang mapaboto ang katotong pinaghahanap ng hustisya. Sorry, patola ako ngayon, kasi hindi ko talaga kayang unawain kung bakit tayo nagbabayad ng buwis para paswelduhin ang mga ganito. Hindi na nga sumusunod sa batas, ipinagyayabang pa ang kamangmangan. Excuse po ba sila sa Constitution? May special lane ba ang katangahan sa Senado? Indeed, the punishment of wise men is to be ruled by unwise men. Pero marami sila, kaya “men” na rin. Collective noun na yata ang kabobohan. At kung maiinis kayo dahil kesyo nagmamarunong ako, i-block n’yo na ako. Walang pilitan dito. Hindi ko obligasyong gawing daycare ang wall ko para sa mga allergic sa common sense. Hindi tayo uunlad sa ganitong klaseng pag-iisip: yung mali na nga, ipinipilit pa; yung batas na nga, ginagawang suggestion; yung accountability na nga, ginagawang favor sa tropa. Kaya please, trolls at DDS, huwag muna kayong magtambay sa wall ko. Bad trip ako today. 😡

Ginawang halimbawa ng veteran broadcaster na si Arnold Clavio ang sitwasyon ni Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa para sa mga may planong kumandidato sa 2028—huwag umanong tularan ang mga umaabuso sa kapangyarihan pero ayaw ng may pananagutan. Lalo na at mismong mga kapwa niya senador ang nagbibigay ng proteksiyon at mistulang tumutulong kay Dela Rosa upang makaiwas sa pananagutan sa batas. “May nagsasabi nga na hindi na tayo uusad sa ehemplo ng Senado. Ginawa n’yo nang tribu, parang kultura ng tribu na talagang, itong… barkadahan, proteksiyunan,” sabi ni Clavio sa ‘One on One: Walang Personalan’ program niya sa DZBB ngayong Huwebes, Mayo 28. “Nawala ‘yung taumbayan sa equation, ‘yun ‘yon,” hirit naman ng ka-tandem niyang si Connie Sison. #PilipinasToday #ArnoldClavio #ConnieSison #SenatePH #BatoDelaRosa
