"Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining." 🌅✨
– Victimae Paschali Laudes [Easter Sequence]

This year’s inurnment logo and theme is a sacred map of our calling as Ministers of Healing. At its center, the Brazen Serpent on the Cross ✝️ medicalizes the Easter mystery: just as Christ was lifted up to bring life, the sacrifice of our Silent Mentors is lifted up to grant us the wisdom to heal.

The radiant Sun ☀️ behind the cross represents the Dawn of the Resurrection, proving that the "death" of our first teachers is actually the dawning of our medical knowledge. 🩺

The Blue Waves 🌊 at the base remind us of our own Baptism and the fluid mercy we must carry into every patient’s life. While we honor the silence of those who have passed, the light of this emblem reminds us that their legacy isn't buried—it rises every time we restore health and hope to the broken. 🕊️🕯️

"He shall call upon me, and I will answer him."

Today we enter the wilderness of Lent on this 1st Sunday of Lent, traditionally known as Invocabit Sunday. Like Christ in the desert, we are invited to strip away the noise and face our temptations with the strength of Scripture and the grace of prayer. It is a season not of mere deprivation, but of deep preparation.

As we begin these forty days, may we find comfort in the promise that when we call, He is already listening. 🌿✨

ASH WEDNESDAY REMINDERS

As we enter the Lenten Season, please be reminded of the following for tomorrow's liturgical celebration and practices as Filipino Catholics.

17/02/2026

The day before Ash Wednesday and the official countdown to Lent. It’s the last day before the season of fasting and reflection begins, so traditionally, Christians have used it as a time to confess sins, seek absolution, and prepare their hearts for Lent. Some churches also burn the previous year’s Palm Sunday branches to create the ashes for Ash Wednesday.
