Pope Francis Visits The Philippines

Image
Pope Francis is scheduled to visit, for the first time, the Philippines in 2015 January 15 to 19. His main purpose is to visit those afflicted by the typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda that devastated Tacloban on November 8, 2013. His itinerary includes only Manila and Leyte. He will be in Tacloban on January 17, and will celebrate The Eucharist at the Tacloban airport. Leyte would want to minimize visitors from neighboring regions because there are not enough hotels and accommodations in the province. There is no announced itinerary yet for Manila other than his visit to the University of Santo Thomas (UST). For the latest news about the Papal Visit, visit this website Papal Visit Philippines 2015 that was made specifically for the event.

The Solemnity of St George

Today is The Solemnity of St George Luke 9:23-26 Today's Reading is from the Gospel of Luke. Then, speaking to all, he said, "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, will save it. What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self? For if anyone is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man will be ashamed when he comes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. Luke 9:23-26

Prayer For Direction

Lord God, It is not clear to me how I should spend my life. It is not clear to me the way I should go. I am often confused. So many attractive things hold out empty promises for happiness. Help me, through the prayers of Saint John Bosco, who was a friend to any young person in need. Help me to know your will for me, and give me the courage to follow. May I know the true joys that are only found in giving my life for others. Credits. Salesian Vocations Office Photo c/o Fotografik Mind
