At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta:
"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

FIESTA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LOURDES | Today marks the first apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the year 1858 to a fourteen year old Bernadette Soubirous. The Blessed Virgin appeared eighteen times, and showed herself to St. Bernadette in the hollow of the rock at Lourdes, France. On March 25, the Our Lady appeared to Saint Bernadette and said "I am the Immaculate Conception". Since then the place where she always appeared became a pilgrimage of believers.

Lourdes is one of the most important “places of grace” known to the Church. It is like a vast basin of purity where countless souls have removed the clothes of sin and put on the snow white garments of spiritual rebirth! Some, like the author, found the light necessary to embrace the call to the priesthood, others, the strength to remain faithful to this commitment.

Prayer: Dearest Mother, the Immaculate Conception, you chose the humblest of instruments in Bernadette to proclaim your universal message of repentance. You declared to the world that you are, indeed, the Immaculate Conception. Please pray for us, bring healing to our soul, and help us to be freed of all sin so that we may one day share in your glory in Heaven. Saint Bernadette, pray for us. Our Lady, the Immaculate Conception, pray for us. Amen.

EXCERPT FROM THE TALK | An excerpt from yesterday's talk of Dr. Celso B. Pernia on A Loving Encounter during the PhiloWeek Symposium.

“the evils of today are DE-PERSONALIZATION...hindi mo minamahal ang isang tao, angmahal mo sa tao ay ‘yung bagay na nasatao. And worse is FUNCTIONALIZATION.You use the person rather than you lovethe person... use me and I will use you.Let us use each other.”
