As a Catholic, I celebrate the 👪Holy Family:
My fellow faithful and I also believe in the 🙏🏽Holy Trinity:
With these higher☝🏽️ powers, I for one have my source of motivation. Therefore, I never waiver my
Happy Belated 🎂Birthday🍰, Bishop Mike!
While everyone all over the 🌍world🌏associates May with 💐Mother’s Day, this whole month is devoted to our Blessed Mother, Mary.

As my Church💒 celebrated the Coronation👑 of our Queen Mother (the fifth Glorious Mystery 🙏 of the 🌹Rosary) at our recent Corpus Christi🌴 Procession👣 (in which my bestie, 🎈Birthday🎁 Girl Evie crowned her last year), we remember her as the faithful woman with the Immaculate 💝Heart.
Mary of Galilee is the epitome of Pro-LIFE. Despite being unwed to Joseph at the time of the Immaculate Conception, she still followed GOD’s will upon the Annunciation👼 (the first Joyful Mystery🙏 of the 🌹Rosary) and gave birth to the LORD JESUS👶 (the third Joyful Mystery).
Holy Mary, like parents who experience the tremendous ♥heartache of outliving their children, encountered not just burying her child, but also the anguish of witnessing her own flesh and blood being condemned to death (the Sorrowful Mysteries🙏 of the 🌹Rosary).
The Mysteries of the Rosary: Joyful * Luminous * Sorrowful * Glorious
Not only is the Virgin Mary the prime example of motherhood, she also exemplifies selfless service to GOD☝️ as the chosen one to be the mother of CHRIST. She is known by many names, including from her apparitions:
👑Queen of Mercy
👑Queen of Peace ✌️
Our Lady of Lourdes
Our Lady of Perpetual Help
👼 Hail Mary full of Grace! ☝️
Go to Church for comfort & strength💪.
That’s what my dad👨 advised me, in particular when I was devastated that his mother/my paternal grandmother, Mama Eufemia👵, my last surviving grandparent, was dying.
Hence, I heeded his suggestion and went to Church💒, not just for Mass🙏, but also Adoration💖.
My neighborhood Church at the time was Queen of Peace👑, which I visited this morning.
It’s not all about you☝️.
When my mom👩 told me this, I felt offended at first, but she’s absolutely right. As a matter of fact, when GOD spoke to me before the Blessed Sacrament today, He reminded me of my parents’ remarks: to live for the LORD, not for myself. Peace! ✌️
