𝘽𝙀𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙀: '𝙎𝘼𝙉𝙏𝘼 𝙈𝙐𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙀' 𝙄𝙎 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝘼 𝘾𝘼𝙏𝙃𝙊𝙇𝙄𝘾 𝙎𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙏

All Saints' Day is just around the corner, and I bet that you have a patron saint in mind that you always ask to intercede in your life. Well, Mary and the saints are powerful intercessors. They help us be closer to God more and more. But have you ever heard of a name being called by people as 'Saint' but no saint at all? Meet Santa Muerte, or the 'saint' of Death of the Narco-Satanic Spiritually.

The skeletal female figure has a growing devotion in the United States, but don't be fooled by the Mary-like veil or the holy-sounding name. Because Santa Muerte is no saint. At. all

She's not a recognized saint by the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, in 2013, a Vatican official condemned devotion to her, equating it to "the celebration of devastation and of hell."

In an interview, Rev. Msgr. Camilo P. Alia, emphasized that they never encouraged the parishioners to have a devotion to the Santa Muerte in the Philippines.

“We do not venerate her, she is only part of the pasos. Not like in Mexico where in they treat her like a saint. She serves as a reminder to us that our lives have limits and that death is the door to the next life. The La Santa Muerte reminds us of death. That Christ died so that we may live and when we die we will be resurrected in Him,”

Truly, Santa Muerte is no saint. And having a devotion to her would just result to idolatry. Beware, mga bok at 'ter!

Panalangin kay San Lorenzo Ruiz at mga Kasamang Martir

Amang Mapagmahal, ang Iyong Anak na si Hesukristo ay naghandog ng kanyang buhay para sa kaligtasan ng tanan. Kasihan kami ng iyong pag-ibig upang maihandog ang aming buhay para sa iyo at sa aming kapwa tao.

Inakay rin ng mapagpala Mong kamay ang iyong mga lingkod na sina San Lorenzo Ruiz at mga kasama sa lupain ng Hapon upang tularan ang sakripisyo ni Kristo at ipamansag ang Mabuting Balita ng Kaligtasan.

Isinasamo namin na sa pamamagitan ng panalangin ng mga banal na martir na kami’y maging matatag sa pananampalataya tulad nila at maging kasangkapan ng pagpapahayag ng mabuting balita sa aming bayan at sa mga bansang nasa paligid namin. Dinggin Mo ang aming kahilingan at ang tanging biyayang aming hinihingi:

(Banggitin ang mga kahilingan)

Kaisa ni San Lorenzo Ruiz at mga kasama, hinihiling namin ito sa pamamagitan ni Hesukristo na aming Panginoon. Amen.

SAN LORENZO RUIZ AT MGA KASAMA, IPANALANGIN MO KAMI!

The RELIC STONE from the Grotto of St. Michael іs а vеrу sресіаl, hаrd tо gеt, rеlіс stоnе, coming from the mіrасulоus sасrеd саvе іn Моntе Gаrgаnо, Іtаlу.

Bringing one of these relic rocks always with you can bless your life.

You can use this relic rock as a point of intercessory prayer:

👉for thanking God for all that we have received from him via his ministering angels
👉to appreciate how much our angels love us
👉for intercessory prayer requests
👉for especially saying our guardian angel prayer
👉for meditation about St. Michael the Archangel and the role that angels play in our life
👉to have our home a holy place like St. Michael’s Cave and all the graces that our angels can bring to it.

The grotto of St. Michael is located on a top of mount Gargano in Italy. Gargano is in the province of Foggia, in the south of Italy. It is near the town of San Giovanni Rotondo, where the Stigmatist St. Padre Pio lived his Priestly life. It is considered the oldest shrine in Western Europe because of the first apparition there of St. Michael. It has been and still is an important pilgrimage site since the Middle Ages.

*reliquary and chibi st. Michael not included.

Note:
The church’s Code of Canon Law says specifically and strongly (in No. 1190) that, “It is absolutely forbidden to sell sacred relics.” When relics are obtained, there is a charge for the metal container encasing the relic (Theca), transportation expenses, facilitation/representation and for mailing costs (international shipping), but not for the relic itself.
