Celebrating the "Little Flower": Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Today, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux!

​Affectionately known as the "Little Flower," her unwavering faith and simple acts of love continue to inspire us all. St. Thérèse showed the world that true holiness isn't reserved for grand gestures, but is found in embracing the "little way"—performing everyday duties and kindnesses with great love and devotion.
​As the patron saint of missionaries, florists, pilots, and priests, St. Thérèse teaches us the power of humility and the beauty of everyday holiness. Let us, the students and community of Our Lady of Light School, strive to follow her example by living our faith through simple acts of kindness and unwavering love for God and one another.

​How will you follow St. Thérèse's "little way" today? Share your thoughts below!
​

Sa gitna ng pagsubok na dala ng bagyong Opong, muling nagkakaisa ang pamilya ng Our Lady of Light School sa isang taimtim na panalangin. Sa mga sandaling ito ng kawalan ng katiyakan, nananalig tayo sa walang hanggang habag at kapangyarihan ng Amang lumikha, na Siyang kanlungan at lakas natin sa bawat bagyo ng buhay.

Ipinapanalangin natin ang bawat mag-aaral, g**o, kawani, at ang kanilang mga pamilya—na nawa'y ilayo sila sa anumang kapahamakan, pinsala, at pangamba. Nawa'y ang kanilang mga tahanan ay manatiling matatag, at ang kanilang mga puso ay puno ng pag-asa at pananampalataya.

Sa pamamagitan ng pamamagitan ng Mahal na Birhen ng Aranzazu, ang ating mapagmahal na Patrona laban sa mga kalamidad, buong puso tayong humihiling ng Kanyang proteksyon. Bilang mga "Pilgrims of Hope" sa taong ito ng Jubileo 2025, patuloy tayong kumakapit sa Kanyang pagmamahal at gabay, na umaasa sa Kanyang inang pagkalinga upang mapangalagaan ang bawat isa at ang ating buong komunidad.

Sa bawat patak ng ulan at bawat ihip ng hangin, patuloy tayong magkakapit-bisig sa panalangin, naniniwalang ang ating pananampalataya ang magiging tanglaw sa dilim.

Mahal na Birhen ng Aranzazu, ipanalangin mo kami. Amang Makapangyarihan, iligtas mo kami.

PANALANGIN PARA SA KALIGTASAN SA BAGYONG OPONG

Sa harap ng banta ng bagyong Opong, sama-sama tayong manalangin sa Amang Makapangyarihan upang tayo’y iligtas sa anumang kapahamakan.

Sa awa ng Diyos at sa panalangin ng Mahal na Birhen ng Aranzazu, ating Patrona laban sa mga kalamidad, nawa’y mapangalagaan ang bawat pamilya, komunidad, at bayan.

Mahal na Birhen ng Aranzazu, ipanalangin at ipag-adya mo kami.

PRAYER DURING CALAMITIES

Let us offer a sincere prayer for the safety of those affected by the bad weather brought about by Severe Tropical Storm in our country. Let us unite in prayer and action to help our fellow countrymen in this time of need.

PANALANGIN SA PANAHON NG KALAMIDAD 🙏🏻

Mag-alay tayo ng taimtim na panalangin para sa kaligtasan ng mga apektado ng masamang panahong dulot ng Severe Tropical Storm sa ating bansa.
