Kuya Francis Xavier's feast is on December 3!!!! Yay so excited!!! Here's a novena in preparation of it :3

"The Miraculous Novena of grace to St. Francis Xavier originates in Naples in December 1633, where Fr. Marcello Mastrilli (a Jesuit priest, like St. Francis Xavier), was on his deathbed.

St. Francis Xavier miraculously came to him and told him to renew the vows he had made to work for the conversion of souls in Japan.

St. Francis said to him: “All those who implore my help daily for nine consecutive days, from the 4th to the 12th of March included, and worthily receive the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist on one of the nine days, will experience my protection and may hope with entire assurance to obtain from God any grace they ask for the good of their souls and the glory of God.”

Fr. Mastrilli was miraculously cured at that moment. While traditionally it has been prayed in March, it is also prayed starting in late November to lead up to St. Francis Xavier’s feastday."

Yesterday morning, I woke up with extreme pain. It was so painful I cried out. But I was happy. Although it was painful, I offered it up to God, and I felt within me a happiness to suffer, because I kept thinking to myself, "more things I can offer to my Jesus!" and I was filled with contentment. The pain didn't last, and I am completely okay now, but I feel happiness in me because I am slowly learning to love Our Lord more. I'll probably fall again, that's to be expected, I am an idiot, and I've a loooong way to go before becoming a saint, and it was through Our Lady's grace that I managed to love Our Lord, and it was also through her prayers and God's goodness that I was given Kuya Ignatius to follow.

Doing Ignatian spirituality has brought me closer to God, and I love kuya so dearly for it. I had been struggling so hard because I wanted to grow in the spiritual life but didn't know how. It was also extremely hard to find a priest to direct me spiritually. And God giving me Kuya Ignatius to be my spiritual director has done so much for me. I try to copy Kuya in what he does. Kuya loves the rosary, so of course I pray the rosary daily (there's a little pamphlet called the "Ignatian Rosary: A Jesuit Way to Pray a Dominican Devotion"). Kuya prayed the Little Office of the BVM, so I pray it too. Kuya was devoted to the Blessed Trinity, and I also feel a great love for the Blessed Trinity (today in mass I wept when I thought about the Blessed Trinity because I was filled with such wonder). The more I learn about Kuya, the more I just follow him so I can have a guide on loving Our Lord. Because ultimately, what I see from Kuya is that he is madly, irrevocably, and insanely in love with God. I have understood that ultimately, what Our Lord asks is that we love him. So every day, every moment, every breath I take and every action, is a song of love to my Lord. It makes life so beautiful, so wonderful, and it makes me so happy, I cannot explain in words.

But in order to fall so madly and insanely in love with God, Kuya Ignatius taught me to meditate and do the examen. It's a constant strive for perfection, a constant battle with my flesh and weaknesses. I would really recommend for everyone to get a copy of the book "Practice of Perfection and Christian Virtue" by Fr Alphonsus Rodriguez. This is the book the Jesuits used to read until VII. It's really good, and teaches you also how to do the examen correctly. I would also recommend "A Brief Guide to Mental Prayer According to the Mind of St Ignatius" by an unnamed Jesuit priest in the 1800s, and "Practical Meditations for Every day of the Year" written also by an anonymous Jesuit priest, first published in 1868. After meditation, what I do is I pray a chaplet of the Immaculate Conception, composed by the Jesuit saint St John Berchman, and beg our Lady to give me the virtues that my meditation has moved my will to seek.

I would also recommend doing this prayer (https://www.catholicdoors.com/prayers/english3/p02785.htm ) written by St Francis Xavier, in the morning while gazing at a crucifix or at the Holy Face of Our Lord (I have a beautiful image of the Holy Face in the Veil of Veronica. I sometimes like to look at Our Lord there, because He is so handsome and I love him so much). I would also recommend just reading about the lives of Jesuit saints, particularly St Francis Xavier. He loves Our Lord so much, I wish to love Jesus the way he does! They are all so inspiring, and it's a testament to how following Kuya Ignatius' spirituality can make you a great saint!

As some of you may know, I am a devotee to the Holy Face, and although a Carmelite devotion, Kuya Ignatius is preparing me to be a better apostle of the Holy Face. I love to sometimes just gaze at Our Lord's face in the Veil of Veronica. I said it before and I'll say it again- how beautiful He is, and how blessed we are to serve such a God.

I still have a long way to go, but I am grateful that Kuya is guiding me. Thank you, dear Jesus for giving me a spiritual director in Kuya, although he is probably super exasperated in me HAHAHA

Anyway sorry for rant hahah God bless you all! Keeping my followers in my prayers! Also, please pray for me, I am a weak idiot, honestly I suck so much and the more I think about myself, the more I realize how good God is to love someone as undeserving as I. I need all the prayers I can get!

HAPPY FEAST DAY BLESSED MIGUEL PRO SJ!!!!!!

He was a Mexican Jesuit priest who was executed in the Cristero wars.

"Soldiers escorted the unsuspecting Jesuit priest into the prison yard the morning of Nov. 23. When he saw the spectators and the firing squad, he asked for a few moments to pray, and then refused the blindfold when it was offered. Holding his rosary in his hand, he stood in front of the bullet-chipped wall and stretched his arms out in the form of a cross. When the order came to fire, he cried out, "Vivo Cristo Rey! Long live Christ the King.""

Why do they hardly get Kuya Francis Xavier's nose right, like we literally have his co**se, you can stare it so you draw his nose correctly. Not that I stare at co**ses, that would be weird haha who does that haha

HAPPY FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY!!!!

There's a beautiful book called "Practical Meditations For Every Day of The Year" by a Jesuit (don't worry, the Jesuit's been dead for some time, you can trust this book). It's REALLY good, I use it to do my Ignatian meditation. One of the meditation points mentioned in this book on this feast is how Our Lady gave herself to Our Lord without delay- she was only three years old when she was presented in the temple!

Let us ask Our Lady that we may love God, not later, but NOW!

Last Sunday in mass, in my weakness, at some point I was feeling a little bored hahah Usually I feel waves of consolation but I am weak haha Then I imagined Kuya Francis Xavier, and how cool he is, how he loves God so much. His heart is so filled with love! It inspired me to do better. I prayed to him, "Kuya, teach me to love God as you do!"

I love u very much kuya :3

Although my heart is with Kuya Ignatius, I love Carmel! Belated Happy Feast day to All Carmelite Saints!

During the French revolution, several Carmelite nuns were guillotined for being, well, nuns, and became known as the Martyrs of Compiègne. As they walked to their death, they sang beautiful chants to Our Lord as they prayed for France.

Was kind of busy lately so was unable to make a comic but hopefully will be able to make one tomorrow for the Carmelite saints! That being said, November 26 is the feast day of my beloved St John Berchmans. If you are an American, you should love him. The miracle that got him canonized happened in America, where the saint appeared in America! It's so sad he isn't loved by Americans. So as it is customary to have a novena before a saint's feast day, here's a beautiful novena to him. May this wonderful saint's intercession lead you closer to Christ!

I usually draw the comic of the day after work on that same day. I did one for St Albert, but unfortunately I am too tired to do another for a St Joseph Pignatelli. It's his feast day also today, and he is a Jesuit saint during the time of the suppression of the Jesuits! I hope to make a comic of him sometime, his life is amazing! Plus, he is also a devotee of Ate Philomena, who I love dearly. I really love all of Kuya Ignatius' spiritual sons in heaven! They are all so dear to me!

TO MY EASTERN CATHOLIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS, HAPPY FEAST DAY ST. JOSAPHAT KUNTSEVYCH, THE FIRST EASTERN CATHOLIC MARTYR AND SAINT!!!!

Ngl I don't know if today is his feast day in the Eastern Churches haha It's his feast day in the 1962 Western rite (The NO celebrates his feast day on the 12th I think). I go to both NO and TLM, but for the sake of uniformity of my page, I'll be using the 1962 calendar.

Is it because he's dead

Btw guys, before you start calling the mental institution on me, I'm just joking about this. However, my perpetual simping has done more to make Francisco Suarez known than what the Jesuits are currently doing to get him known :P
