The School Administrators have initiated several innovations; one of which is the construction of a Mock Hotel that will house the HRM students for their practicum. A building for the grade school department is also in the list of priorities after the construction of the simulation hotel. Apart from that, the school has already managed to have the School Chapel renovated and all the classrooms air-conditioned. Additional laboratory materials have also been purchased for the various laboratories of High School and College; while the Skills Laboratory of the Institute of Health Sciences has been upgraded to keep up with the demands of the nursing program. The Learning Resource Center or the library is continuously acquiring newly published books to help students in their assignments and requirements.

Solemnity of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
August 22

August 22 is the feast of our Lady's Queenship: "And the Angels pay her homage as her subjects... and the patriarchs and the prophets and the Apostles... and all sinners and you and I."

The crowning of Mary as Queen of all creation is the culmination of all the privileges granted to our Lady. The Mother of God, assumed body and soul into heaven, is raised by the Most Holy Trinity above the choirs of angels and all the saints: Greater than you, only God, exclaim the Christian people.

A messianic psalm sings of the King's glory, and also of the glory of the Queen: Thou art the fairest of the children of Adam; grace is poured out on thy lips, for God has blessed thee forever and ever…Thy throne, O God, is forever, without end; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy reign (Ps 44/45:3-7). Then the psalmist turns to the Queen: Listen, daughter, and see, give ear, forget thy people and the house of thy father, and the King will give thee beauty; he is thy Lord, turn to him… She is brought to the King, the bejeweled daughter of the King, radiant with glory, in robes of gold, trimmed in rich colors. With her virginal court following in procession…in happiness and rejoicing she is brought into the palace of the King (Ibid, 11-16).

The liturgy applies this psalm to Christ and Mary in heavenly glory. This interpretation is based on passages in the Gospels that refer explicitly to our Lady. At the Annunciation, St. Gabriel reveals to Mary that her Son will reign forever over the house of Jacob and his reign will have no end (Lk 1:33). Mary is to be mother of a son who, at the very instant of his conception as man, is King and Lord of all creation; and the mother who is to give birth to him will share in his kingship. St. Elizabeth, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, proclaims in a loud voice: Who am I that the Mother of my Lord should come to visit me? (Lk 1:43). And St. John the Evangelist, in his vision of the Apocalypse, describes a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars (Rev 12:1). According to the Church's liturgy and tradition, this woman is Mary, who with Christ defeats the infernal dragon and is enthroned as Queen of the universe.

The Christian people have always attested to Mary's exalted glory as a sharer in Christ's royalty. Like him, it is hers by birth (as Mother of the King) and by right of conquest (as his faithful co-worker in the Redemption). Our Lord has placed in her hands the superabundant merits He gained by his death on the Cross, so that she might distribute them according to God's Will.

The Queenship of Mary is a consoling truth for all mankind, especially when we feel deserving of divine punishment as a just penalty for our sins. The Church invites us to have recourse to Mary, our Mother and our Queen, in all our necessities. The certainty that Mary is the Mother of God and Mother of all mankind is what grounds our filial trust in her powerful intercession, and encourages us to get up after our falls.

As this series on our Lady's life comes to an end, we invoke her with the words of an ancient prayer: “Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping…." We place all our trust in Mary, because a mother always hears the supplications of her children. “Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mother of God," we tell her, “when you stand in the sight of the Lord, to speak well of us" (cf. Jer 18:20). Our Lady will always speak well of us before the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and obtain from God all that we need—above all, the grace of final perseverance, which will open to us the gates of heaven: “Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."

🌟365 Days with the Lord🌟
⬜The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary | August 22, 2026

✅First Reading: Is 9:1-6 [or Ez 43:1-7ab]
✅Responsorial Psalm: Ps 113 [or 85]~ "Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever."
✅Gospel: Lk 1:26-38 [or Mt 23:1-12]

The feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1954, honors Mary not only as the Mother of God but also our Queen, reigning with Christ in glory.

Mary's queenship, as all her other states and privileges, is intimately associated with Jesus. As Jesus' kingship is marked by his being the Good Shepherd, Mary's queenship is characterized by maternal care that embraces all her children, especially those in need. She is our advocate, our sweetness, and our hope. She listens to our prayers, comforts us in our sorrows, and leads us to her Son. Just as she interceded for the bride and groom at the wedding feast in Cana, she is present in our lives, interceding for us before her Son, Jesus.

🌟365 Days with the Lord🌟
🟩Friday of the 20th Week in Ordinary Time | August 21, 2026

✅First Reading: Ez 37:1-14
✅Responsorial Psalm: Ps 107 ~ "Give thanks to the Lord; his love is everlasting."
✅Gospel: Mt 22:34-40

To love God with all our heart, soul, and mind means to give him our whole being.; it is above all other commandments, and justly so, because our entire existence depends upon God. The challenge, however, is to manifest this love to one's neighbor who does not have divine qualities and may be far from lovable. But John makes it clear: "If anyone says, 'I love God,' but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen" (1 Jn 4:20).

Ninoy Aquino Day
August 21

Today is an important holiday in Filipino history, marking August 21 as Ninoy Aquino Day. Created in 2004, this day forever commemorates the life and legacy of a beloved hero of freedom. Filipinos remember the ultimate sacrifice that Ninoy Aquino made for the people of the Philippines.

Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. was an influential and inspirational Filipino political figure who fought for independence and a free democracy. After serving prison time for his opposition to then President Ferdinand Marcos, Aquino, who had gone into exile upon his release; planned on reentering Filipino politics. Tragically, he was assassinated upon returning to the islands in 1983. Today, Filipinos remember Aquino’s famous words, “The Filipino is worth dying for.”

On August 21, the Filipino community celebrates the life of Senator Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino Jr., keeping his legacy alive. Before Aquino’s untimely death, he was regarded as the flag bearer for the progression of modern Phillippine democracy.

In 1972, President Ferdinand Marcos imposed martial law in the Philippines, placing himself as an authoritarian. The reasoning for this law was to protect the country from civil disobedience and communism, but many believe that it was actually to secure Marcos’s dictatorship. Many public institutions were shut down and anyone who publicly challenged Marcos during this time was imprisoned by the military. Human rights violations were being committed by the military and the economy suffered severely.

Marcos met his match when Senator Aquino started vocally opposing him. To counter this, Aquino was imprisoned and was allowed to move to the U.S. for medical treatment in 1980 after he suffered a heart attack. He did not quit his efforts for the freedom of his people, however, and continued advocating for it in the U.S.

In August 1983, Aquino decided to return to his country to participate in the 1984 elections against Marcos. He was aware of the risk involved but proceeded anyway. Upon landing at Manila International Airport on August 21, Aquino was assassinated. Many believe this was executed under the orders of Marcos. The event led to an uproar from the citizens, leading to Marcos’s eventual downfall and the presidency of Maria Corazón Aquino — Aquino’s wife.

In 2004, Ninoy Aquino Day was declared as a commemoration of Aquino’s death by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The holiday also served as a means to boost tourism in the Philippines.

Feast Day of St. Pius X
August 21

Pope Pius X is perhaps best remembered for his encouragement of the frequent reception of Holy Communion, especially by children.

The second of 10 children in a poor Italian family, Joseph Sarto became Pius X at age 68. He was one of the 20th century’s greatest popes.

Ever mindful of his humble origin, Pope Pius stated, “I was born poor, I lived poor, I will die poor.” He was embarrassed by some of the pomp of the papal court. “Look how they have dressed me up,” he said in tears to an old friend. To another, “It is a penance to be forced to accept all these practices. They lead me around surrounded by soldiers like Jesus when he was seized in Gethsemani.”

Interested in politics, Pope Pius encouraged Italian Catholics to become more politically involved. One of his first papal acts was to end the supposed right of governments to interfere by veto in papal elections—a practice that reduced the freedom of the 1903 conclave which had elected him.

In 1905, when France renounced its agreement with the Holy See and threatened confiscation of Church property if governmental control of Church affairs were not granted, Pius X courageously rejected the demand.

While he did not author a famous social encyclical as his predecessor had done, he denounced the ill treatment of indigenous peoples on the plantations of Peru, sent a relief commission to Messina after an earthquake, and sheltered refugees at his own expense.

On the 11th anniversary of his election as pope, Europe was plunged into World War I. Pius had foreseen it, but it killed him. “This is the last affliction the Lord will visit on me. I would gladly give my life to save my poor children from this ghastly scourge.” He died a few weeks after the war began, and was canonized in 1954.

His humble background was no obstacle in relating to a personal God and to people whom he loved genuinely. Pius X gained his strength, his gentleness and warmth for people from the source of all gifts, the Spirit of Jesus. In contrast, we often feel embarrassed by our backgrounds. Shame makes us prefer to remain aloof from people whom we perceive as superior. If we are in a superior position, on the other hand, we often ignore simpler people. Yet we, too, have to help “restore all things in Christ,” especially the wounded people of God.

Feast Day of St. Bernard of Clairvaux
August 20

Man of the century! Woman of the century! You see such terms applied to so many today—“golfer of the century,” “composer of the century,” “right tackle of the century”—that the line no longer has any punch. But Western Europe’s “man of the twelfth century,” without doubt or controversy, had to be Bernard of Clairvaux. Adviser of popes, preacher of the Second Crusade, defender of the faith, healer of a schism, reformer of a monastic Order, Scripture scholar, theologian, and eloquent preacher: any one of these titles would distinguish an ordinary man. Yet Bernard was all of these—and he still retained a burning desire to return to the hidden monastic life of his younger days.

In the year 1111, at the age of 20, Bernard left his home to join the monastic community of Citeaux. His five brothers, two uncles, and some 30 young friends followed him into the monastery. Within four years, a dying community had recovered enough vitality to establish a new house in the nearby valley of Wormwoods, with Bernard as abbot. The zealous young man was quite demanding, though more on himself than others. A slight breakdown of health taught him to be more patient and understanding. The valley was soon renamed Clairvaux, the valley of light.

His ability as arbitrator and counselor became widely known. More and more he was lured away from the monastery to settle long-standing disputes. On several of these occasions, he apparently stepped on some sensitive toes in Rome. Bernard was completely dedicated to the primacy of the Roman See. But to a letter of warning from Rome, he replied that the good fathers in Rome had enough to do to keep the Church in one piece. If any matters arose that warranted their interest, he would be the first to let them know.

Shortly thereafter it was Bernard who intervened in a full-blown schism and settled it in favor of the Roman pontiff against the antipope.

The Holy See prevailed on Bernard to preach the Second Crusade throughout Europe. His eloquence was so overwhelming that a great army was assembled and the success of the crusade seemed assured. The ideals of the men and their leaders, however, were not those of Abbot Bernard, and the project ended as a complete military and moral disaster.

Bernard felt responsible in some way for the degenerative effects of the crusade. This heavy burden possibly hastened his death, which came August 20, 1153.

Bernard’s life in the Church was more active than we can imagine possible today. His efforts produced far-reaching results. But he knew that they would have availed little without the many hours of prayer and contemplation that brought him strength and heavenly direction. His life was characterized by a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. His sermons and books about Mary are still the standard of Marian theology.

🌟365 Days with the Lord🌟
🟩Thursday of the 20th Week in Ordinary Time | August 20, 2026

✅First Reading: Ez 36:23-28
✅Responsorial Psalm: Ps 51 ~ "I will pour clean water on you and wash away all your sins."
✅Gospel: Mt 22:1-14

The parable of the Wedding Banquet presents three kinds of guest invited to the wedding feast, which refers to the heavenly Kingdom. The first, those who are invited but refuse to come, are God's chosen people: the Israelites. God sends them prophets whom they refuse. In the fullness of time. God sends them John the Baptist and Jesus. Again the invitation to repentance falls mostly on deaf ears. Israel's refusal opens the door to the Gentiles. Through the Apostles and the Christian missionaries, the banquet is open to all kinds of people, "good and bad alike." But then the newly invited who constitute the new community of God cannot rely merely on the fact that they belong to the Church. They are required to be dressed in the wedding garment which represents a life lived keeping with God's call, a new life of good deeds, "the righteous deeds of the holy ones" (Rv 19:8). The parable is thus an admonition to Christians to watch out for spiritual complacency and arrogance.
