Today, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Faustina Kowalska, a humble servant of God and a powerful messenger of His Divine Mercy. Saint Faustina devoted her life to prayer, sacrifice, and trust in God's love. Through her life and spiritual writings, she reminded the world that no matter how difficult our struggles may be, God's mercy is always greater. 🙏🏻💙✨

As students, Saint Faustina teaches us the importance of trusting God, especially during moments of uncertainty, difficulty, and disappointment. Her life reminds us that we do not have to face our challenges alone. Through prayer, patience, and faith, we can place our worries in God's hands and continue moving forward with hope.

In our school community, may we follow Saint Faustina's example by showing mercy, forgiveness, and compassion toward others. We are called to understand those who make mistakes, offer encouragement to those who are struggling, and choose kindness even when it may be difficult. Small acts of patience and forgiveness can become meaningful expressions of God's love.
Saint Faustina also reminds us of the importance of prayer. In the busyness of our studies, responsibilities, and daily activities, may we always make time to speak with God and listen to His guidance. Through prayer, we can strengthen our relationship with Him and learn to trust His plan for our lives. 🕊️🙏🏻

Her life teaches us that holiness does not always require extraordinary acts. Sometimes, it is found in the simple things we do each day—being honest in our work, helping a classmate, forgiving someone who has hurt us, showing kindness to our family, and doing our responsibilities with love. These simple actions can become beautiful offerings to God.

May Saint Faustina inspire us to trust in God's Divine Mercy, to forgive generously, to pray faithfully, and to show compassion to everyone we encounter. May her example remind us that God's love is always greater than our fears and failures, and may we continue to bring His mercy and hope into our school, families, and community.

From the Gospel according to Luke
10:25-37

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said,
“Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law?
How do you read it?”
He said in reply,
“You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your being,
with all your strength,
and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself.”
He replied to him, “You have answered correctly;
do this and you will live.”

But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus,
“And who is my neighbor?”
Jesus replied,
“A man fell victim to robbers
as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho.
They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead.
A priest happened to be going down that road,
but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
Likewise a Levite came to the place,
and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him
was moved with compassion at the sight.
He approached the victim,
poured oil and w**e over his wounds and bandaged them.
Then he lifted him up on his own animal,
took him to an inn, and cared for him.
The next day he took out two silver coins
and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction,
‘Take care of him.
If you spend more than what I have given you,
I shall repay you on my way back.’
Which of these three, in your opinion,
was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?”
He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.”
Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:

We have all been in situations where we saw someone in need but chose to look away, maybe a classmate who was struggling, a stranger who needed help, or someone who just needed a friend. In today's Gospel, a priest and a Levite saw a man beaten and left half-dead, but they passed by on the other side. Only a Samaritan stopped, showed compassion, and cared for him. Jesus then said, "𝗚𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲."

The Samaritan did not ask if the man deserved help. He did not check if he was a friend or a stranger. He simply saw a person in need and responded with mercy. That is what it means to be a neighbor.

As Dominican students and teachers, we are called to be like the Good Samaritan. We are called to notice the forgotten, to stop for the hurting, and to show mercy without hesitation. It is easy to talk about love, but true love is shown in action.

So let us go and do likewise, loving God with all our heart and loving our neighbor as ourselves.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, one of the most beloved saints of the Church and a powerful example of humility, simplicity, peace, and love for all of God's creation. Saint Francis devoted his life to following Christ, serving others, caring for the poor, and recognizing the presence of God in the beauty of creation. His life reminds us that true joy is found not in having more, but in living with a grateful heart and a generous spirit. 🙏🌿✨

As students, Saint Francis teaches us the importance of humility and kindness in our daily lives. He reminds us that our actions, no matter how simple, can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Through patience, compassion, and generosity, we can become instruments of peace in our classrooms, friendships, families, and communities.

In our school community, may we follow Saint Francis' example by treating everyone with respect and understanding. May we learn to see the value and dignity of every person, especially those who may need our encouragement and support. Like Saint Francis, may we choose peace instead of conflict, kindness instead of harshness, and service instead of selfishness.

Saint Francis also inspires us to care for God's creation. The world around us is a gift entrusted to our care, and we are called to become responsible stewards of it. Through simple actions such as keeping our surroundings clean, reducing waste, conserving resources, and respecting nature, we can show our gratitude for God's creation and help protect it for future generations. 🌎💚

His life also reminds us that holiness can be found in ordinary acts of love and service. As we continue our studies and pursue our dreams, may we remember that success is not only measured by what we achieve, but also by how we treat others and how we use our gifts to serve those around us.

May Saint Francis of Assisi inspire us to live simply, love generously, care for creation, and become instruments of peace wherever we go. May his example lead us closer to Christ and encourage us to bring kindness, hope, and compassion into our school, families, and community.

From the Gospel according to Luke
10:17-24

The seventy-two disciples returned rejoicing and said to Jesus,
“Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.”
Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.
Behold, I have given you the power
‘to tread upon serpents’ and scorpions
and upon the full force of the enemy
and nothing will harm you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you,
but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

”At that very moment he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said,
“I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows who the Son is except the Father,
and who the Father is except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”

Turning to the disciples in private he said,
“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
For I say to you,
many prophets and kings desired to see what you see,
but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”

REFLECTION:

𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙆𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙚

We have all felt proud of our achievements, maybe a high grade, a prize, or recognition for something we did well. The seventy-two disciples felt the same way when they returned from their mission, rejoicing that even demons were subject to them. But Jesus gently corrected them. He said, "Do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven." The greatest gift is not power or success, but the fact that we belong to God.

Jesus also praised the Father for revealing these things to the childlike, not to the wise and the learned. This reminds us that God's Kingdom is not about being the smartest or the most powerful. It is about having a humble and trusting heart. Many prophets and kings longed to see what the disciples saw, but only the childlike received it.

As Dominican students and teachers, we are blessed to study, to teach, and to know the truth. But our greatest joy should not be in our achievements or titles. It should be in the fact that we are known and loved by God, and that our names are written in heaven. So let us remain humble and childlike, grateful for the gift of knowing Jesus, and joyful not in our success but in our salvation.

Today, the community of Camiling Catholic School Inc. gathered at St. Michael the Archangel Parish for the celebration of the First Friday Mass, honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus and commemorating the Holy Guardian Angels.

With hearts drawn closer to Christ, we were reminded of His boundless love and mercy, while entrusting ourselves to the loving guidance and protection of our guardian angels. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus teach us to love with compassion, and may our guardian angels continually lead us closer to God.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Guardian Angels, a beautiful reminder of God's loving care and protection in our lives. The Church teaches that God gives each person a guardian angel to guide, protect, and accompany us throughout our journey. These heavenly companions remind us that God's presence and love are always near, even in moments when we may feel alone or uncertain. 🙏✨

As students, the Guardian Angels remind us to remain attentive to God's guidance and to choose what is good, kind, and right. Their presence encourages us to be responsible for our actions, to treat others with respect, and to remain faithful even when we face challenges. They remind us that we are never alone in our journey of learning, growing, and discovering our purpose.

In our school community, may we follow the example of our Guardian Angels by becoming people who guide, encourage, and care for others. May we be a source of kindness and support to our classmates, teachers, friends, and families. Just as our guardian angels accompany us, may we also learn to accompany others through compassion, patience, and understanding.

The Feast of the Guardian Angels also invites us to pause and recognize the many ways God cares for us each day. Amid our studies, responsibilities, and daily activities, may we remember to pray, listen to God's guidance, and trust in His loving plan. May we become more aware of His presence and allow Him to lead us toward what is good and meaningful.

May our Guardian Angels continue to guide and protect us, strengthen us in times of difficulty, and lead us closer to God. May their example inspire us to live with faith, kindness, humility, and love, while becoming a light and source of encouragement to those around us.

𝓑𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭, 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵𝓼. — Psalm 103:20

With hearts united in faith and devotion, Grade 12 students of Camiling Catholic School joined parishioners and devotees of St. Michael the Archangel Parish in celebrating the Feast Day of their patron saint on September 29.

The celebration began with the Solemn Procession at 7:00 AM, followed by a Welcoming Salvo featuring the Modern Rondalla Ensembles of Camiling Central Elementary School. The morning celebration culminated in the Solemn Mass at 9:00 AM, presided over by Most Rev. Florentino F. Cinense, D.D., Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Tarlac.

Alongside families, parish organizations, ministries, and fellow devotees, the Grade 12 students took part in the celebration as one community of faith. Their participation reflected the spirit of unity, devotion, and fellowship that continues to strengthen the parish community.

The celebration formed part of the parish’s 185th Founding Jubilee Anniversary, carrying the theme, “Isang Katawan, Isang Pananampalataya; Kay Kristo’y Nagkakaisa,” inspired by 1 Corinthians 12:27.

More than a feast, the celebration was a reminder that in Christ, the faithful are called to walk together—as one body, one faith, and one community.
