In our daily life, we cross various kinds of thresholds and at times, we may unknowingly enter an unchartered territory. This is what happened to us in this story.
Young Dominic Sang answered positively when asked by his mom if he still dreamed of becoming a priest, beginning a vocational discernment journey with the Comboni Missionaries. He has now completed his formation and has been ordained a deacon, awaiting his ordination as a priest in 2027.
Saint Paul writes that the elderly Patriarch Abraham continued to “hope against hope” (Romans, 4:18). Ultimately, God rewarded his faith-filled hope when he and his wife Sarah welcomed their son Isaac into the world. We can look to Abraham and other Christian saints as beacons of hope.
In the latest Corruption Perceptions Index from Transparency International, the Philippines ranks 120th out of 182 nations in 2025, placing it near the bottom of regional standings. These figures call us to a moment of honest self-examination: What kind of society are we truly building together?
What if humanity’s biggest challenge isn’t AI, money troubles, or political drama but something way closer to home? What if the future of civilization is actually being decided quietly, every day, in our homes: when we choose to get married, have kids, stay loyal and take care of each other.
The Salvatorian Pastoral Care for Children (SPCC), which began working with Philippine parishes 25 years ago, caters to children who suffer from corporal punishment and neglect, online grooming, and sexual exploitation.
This year’s World Mission Sunday is special because it marks 100 years since its institution by Pope Pius XI. In his message for the occasion, Pope Leo encourages Christians to be united in mission and “to keep our gaze fixed on the Lord so that He may truly be at the center of our lives and communities.”
In today’s world where technology–especially artificial intelligence (AI)–is moving at lighting speed, Pope Leo, in his first encyclical letter titled Magnificent Humanity, strongly feels that without clear, comprehensive moral guardrails, it is very possible AI will become significantly uncontrollable, posing grave risks to humanity.

What kind of nation are we building if cheating becomes an accepted way of life? Every act of dishonesty in the classroom plants a seed that may later grow into corruption, fraud, and injustice. As followers of Christ, we are called to choose the narrow path of truth , even when deception seems easier.
The Second Vatican Council ignited a spirit of renewal that continues to shape the Church today. Among the many architects of this transformation, three remarkable cardinals-Newman, Bea and Suenens-stand out as enduring witnesses of faith, hope, and courageous leadership.
The stark contrast between the Philippines’ wealthiest families and the millions of ordinary citizens navigating daily economic uncertainty presents a profound moral and structural challenge. This divide is often sustained by an outdated and regressive fiscal framework that disproportionately burdens working-class families.
A new international order is taking shape, with some nations abandoning dialogue in favor of violence and lawlessness. The present crisis in the Middle East is a painful reminder of this truth. Leaders need sober thinking, balance, and moderation.
The Venerable Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified on September 24 this year. He will possibly be one of the most unusual people ever to be beatified.
Hidden behind an iron gate in Quezon City’s crowded district of Culiat, a modest clinic run by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ Sisters has operated for more than three decades on the premise that health is not a luxury reserved for those who can pay, but a basic human right.
The Lord Jesus spoke from His heart to His disciples, sharing precious words that reminded them of His commandment to love and strengthened them for future difficulties and trials. As we continue on our earthly journey, let us allow His words to inspire and help us.

If you, as a citizen of your country, were to decide who to cast your vote for in elections, what do you look for in a leader worthy of your vote? Can you cite the qualities and characteristics of a good leader?
Christian mission history reveals the acceptance of the faith by remarkable persons in equally special circumstances; three unique examples of native faith-filled women provide inspiration and hope.
One path leads toward gradual irrelevance–a Church respected for its history yet increasingly distant from the lives of ordinary people. The other path is more demanding. It requires personal conversion, institutional renewal, synodal listening, courageous witness, and creative evangelization.
Franciscan catechists carry out their ministry in some of Manila’s most vulnerable communities. Over the years, their presence and accompaniment have helped steer many children away from crime, contributing to a decline in petty offenses such as pickpocketing and snatching in the communities they serve.
The central message of Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas can be expressed in a single principle: The human person must remain above every machine, every algorithm, every market incentive, and every technological system.
Goodbyes are bittersweet and never easy, yet for missionaries, they become sacred acts of trust–entrusting loved ones to God while embracing His call. We hold on to God’s promise: “I am with you always.”
The French geneticist who discovered the extra chromosome behind Down Syndrome devoted his career to using genetics to heal, not to eliminate, even as his discovery was tragically repurposed to justify prenatal eugenics. His courageous witness earned him papal honors and lasting admiration.

The desire to serve one’s neighbors and engender authentic hope in people can be realized through numerous forms of dedicated service in a variety of public positions; three examples readily come to mind.
