The Solemnity of Christ the King, typically observed on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, is a profound recognition of Jesus Christ's universal and eternal dominion. This celebration invites us to reflect deeply on His kingship, which is not one of earthly power or military might, but of selfless service, truth, justice, and love, culminating in His sacrificial act on the cross. It is a time to renew our commitment to living according to the Gospel, thereby establishing His kingdom in our own hearts and in the world around us as we anticipate His glorious return.

St. Albert the Great (c. 1200–1280), also known as Albertus Magnus, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, theologian, and bishop who is widely considered one of the most important and influential figures of the 13th century. He earned the title "the Great" for his extraordinary breadth of knowledge and his efforts to synthesize Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine, a project that profoundly influenced subsequent scholastic thought, particularly through his most famous student, Thomas Aquinas. A true polymath, Albert wrote extensively on nearly every subject studied at the time, including logic, theology, botany, geography, astronomy, and chemistry, making original contributions to natural science that were remarkable for his era. Recognized for his intellectual achievements and spiritual depth, he was canonized as a saint in 1931 and is honored as a Doctor of the Church and the patron saint of scientists and naturalists.

“To dedicate or consecrate” a place to God is a ritual that is found in every religion. To “reserve” a place to God is an act of recognizing His glory and honor.

When the Emperor Constantine granted full liberty to Christians in 313, they did not spare in order to construct places for the Lord – numerous are the churches constructed at that time. Constantine himself also constructed churches, one of which he was a magnificent basilica on the Caelian Hill in Rome, over the ancient Lateran Palace, which Pope Sylvester I dedicated to Christ the Savior (318 or 324). A chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist was built inside it which served as the baptistry. This moved Pope Sergius III to dedicate it to Saint John the Baptist as well. Lastly, Pope Lucius II also dedicated it to Saint John the Evangelist in the 12th century. Thus, the name of this Papal Basilica is the Basilica of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in the Lateran. Christians consider the Basilica to be the mother church of all churches in the world.

The church was destroyed several times in the course of the centuries, and always rebuilt. The final reconstruction took place under the pontificate of Benedict XIII. The church was rededicated in 1724. It was at that time that the feast celebrated today was established and extended to the universal Church.

EN: As the winds and rains intensify, let us stand together in faith and prayer. We ask for divine deliverance and protection from this typhoon. We pray for the safety of every family, every home, and every community in its path. May God grant strength and courage to those on the front lines, and may His light shine through this darkness, bringing peace and swift resolution. Let's keep our hearts hopeful and our spirits strong.

TL: Habang lumalakas ang hangin at ulan, tayo'y magkaisa sa pananampalataya at panalangin. Hinihiling natin ang kaluwagan at proteksyon ng Diyos mula sa bagyong ito. Ipinagdarasal natin ang kaligtasan ng bawat pamilya, bawat tahanan, at bawat komunidad na dadaanan nito. Nawa'y bigyan ng Diyos ng lakas at tapang ang mga nasa unahan, at nawa'y sumikat ang Kanyang liwanag sa gitna ng kadilimang ito, na magdadala ng kapayapaan at mabilis na kalutasan. Manatili tayong may pag-asa sa ating puso at matatag ang ating espiritu.

Today we celebrate St. Charles Borromeo, the zealous Archbishop of Milan and a towering figure of the Counter-Reformation. Known for his courage in enforcing Church reforms after the Council of Trent, St. Charles was a true shepherd who gave up his luxurious noble life for the sake of the Gospel. During the devastating plague and famine of 1576, he demonstrated heroic charity, staying in the city to personally minister to the sick and using his entire personal fortune—and going into debt—to feed 60,000 people daily. May we be inspired by his spirit of radical self-reform, his dedication to clerical education, and his boundless love for the suffering.

🎵Paparating na ang Disyembre 🎵

Ang UST Pax Romana - Medicine Unit, bilang natatanging organisasyon ng mga estudyante para sa mga pangrelihiyong gawain sa UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, ay nagsisimula nang magkabit ng mga pangpaskong dekorasyon upang mas madama ng komunidad hindi lamang ang pasko, pati na rin si Hesukristo na siyang nagkatawang tao para sa atin.

Pinaaalalahanan ng Section for Liturgical Celebrations ang lahat na bagamat may nakakabit nang mga dekorasyon ay tayo pa rin ay nasa Karaniwang Panahon at maglalakbay pa sa Panahon ng Adbiyento upang maghanda sa pagdating ng Panginoon.

Today we honor St. Martin de Porres, the Dominican lay brother from Lima, Peru, and the patron saint of mixed-race people, social justice, and race relations. Born the son of a Spanish nobleman and a formerly enslaved Black woman, Martin humbly served the poor, the sick, and the marginalized with extraordinary compassion, often overcoming racial prejudice within his own time. He is celebrated for his profound devotion, his miraculous cures, and his gentle love that extended even to animals, often depicted with a broom—a symbol of his tireless service. May his life inspire us to seek humility, practice charity, and work for harmony and justice for all people.

Did you notice that there is some sequence of activities last October?

The UST Pax Romana - Faculty of Medicine and Surgery Unit aims to amplify the articles of faith:

"I believe in the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of Sins, and the Resurrection of the Body and of life everlasting."

Let us now deepen our faith on these activities and the what our FAITH TELLS us. May we also remember that as soldiers of love, we include in our prayers the silent mentors who have taught us not just the intricacies of medicine but to love others without measure.

On this All Souls' Day, we pause to honor our silent mentors—the selfless individuals who, in their final act of generosity, donated their bodies to science. Though their names may be unknown, their quiet sacrifice remains the foundation of all medical knowledge. Every incision made and every lesson learned was a profound gift from them, guiding the hands of future healers. We remember and pray for these faithful departed souls, recognizing their dignity and the invaluable role they play in the pursuit of life and health.
