Gods word for today

Prince Philip will be remembered as a man of “courage, fortitude and faith” at a martial but also personal funeral that will mark the death of a royal patriarch who was a beloved husband and father, and one of a dwindling number of World War II veterans. Hymns and music during Saturday’s funeral at Windsor Castle will reflect Philip’s military ties and wartime service in the Royal Navy, as well as his more than seven decades of support for his wife, Queen Elizabeth II. Philip died April 9 at the age of 99 after 73 years of marriage. Coronavirus restrictions mean that instead of the 800 mourners included in the longstanding plans for his funeral, there will be only 30 inside St. George’s Chapel , including the widowed queen, her four children and eight grandchildren.

close Video Founders' Fridays: Ben Franklin Benjamin Franklin practically defined Americanism Benjamin Franklin died 231 years ago on April 17, 1790. More than 70% of Philadelphia came out to mourn the passing of the man who restrained "thunderbolts and tyrants" alike. Yet in the past year, Franklin has been the target of cancel culture. Washburn University removed Franklin's statue to appease vandals while a Washington, D.C., committee included him on their statue hit list. Likewise, Big Tech companies have censored former President Trump and Major League Baseball has canceled the state of Georgia over a voting law. If Franklin were alive, would he agree with the 64% of Americans who believe that cancel culture threatens freedom? Yes, because he lived through it.

Perhaps, he was the first Filipino “celebrity” priest — a TV star sans the glamor and luxuries of show business. But he was very rich with the charism of preaching. In the 1980s, Fr. Erasmo “Sonny” Ramirez, OP rose to become a media icon. Unlike celebrities today who are launched as idols, Fr. Sonny became popular because he brought the words of Christ through mass media. For one, having belonged to the Order of Preachers, Fr. Sonny very well knew the tradition of “Siete Palabras” (Seven Last Words) during the Lenten season. In 1984, he made a breakthrough. He delivered the first Siete Palabras homilies for a TV special of the Channel 9 program “Sharing in the City.” Its producer was Banahaw Broadcast Inc. Fr. Sonny was a graduate of the esteemed Drama and Theater Arts program of the Colegio de San Juan de Letrán (also alma mater to National Artist for Theater and Literature Rolando Tinio). He could have advised the production of scripted tearjerkers for the Siete Palabras, but … [Read more...] about Remembering Fr. Sonny of the Order of Preachers

THE funeral service for the Duke of Edinburgh has taken place, with the final farewell "the saddest day" for Her Majesty, the Queen. Due to Covid restrictions the Queen was forced to sit alone inside Windsor Castle's St George's Chapel as she lead the Royal Family in mourning at the funeral of her beloved husband, the Duke of Edinburgh . Dressed in a face mask and in sombre black, it was the first time the monarch, grieving for her devoted companion of 73 years, has been officially seen in public since Philip died eight days ago. And the Duke's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault at St George's Chapel - and was broadcast live for the first time in history.
