Hey besties! Have you got your own Jubilee Pilgrimage passport already? Well, if you haven't and you dont know what a Pilgrimage passport is then read on. 😀👍

Experience grace, history, and renewal—one church at a time.

The Jubilee Year 2025 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Catholics around the world to reconnect with their faith, walk in prayer, and celebrate the mercy of God. One special way pilgrims are doing this is through the Jubilee Pilgrimage Passport—a spiritual keepsake that helps guide and document your visits to designated churches throughout the Holy Year.

What Is the Jubilee Pilgrimage Passport?

The Jubilee Passport is similar to a travel passport but for your spiritual journey. It allows pilgrims to collect stamps from each designated Jubilee Church, serving as both a devotional tool and a personal record of faith.

With each stamp, you mark not just a physical destination—but a sacred encounter with God.

this is how the Pilgrimage Passport looks like on the outside (it really looks and is designed to look like a passport) its so cool

I got my pilgrimage passport here at the National Shrine of St. Joseph located in Mandaue

The Jubilee Tradition

The tradition of Jubilee Years dates back to 1300 A.D., when Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the first Holy Year to encourage pilgrimages to Rome. Since then, the Church has held Jubilee Years every 25 years, with some extraordinary Jubilees in between (like the Year of Mercy in 2015).

A key component of a Jubilee is pilgrimage—journeying to holy sites, especially those designated as "Jubilee Churches," to receive special indulgences, engage in prayer, and renew one's relationship with the Lord.

The Pilgrimage Passport is a modern way of honoring this centuries-old practice. It encourages the faithful to rediscover the richness of our Catholic heritage—locally and globally.

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” – Psalm 84:5

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, raising children with strong Christian values has become more important than ever. As parents, we want our children to grow up with a deep-rooted faith in God, develop moral character, and embrace the teachings of Jesus Christ. Nurturing faith at home is not only about attending church on Sundays; it's about integrating Christian principles into every aspect of our children's lives. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of nurturing faith at home and discuss practical ways to raise children with unwavering Christian values.

Raising children with Christian values is a significant responsibility for parents seeking to instill a strong faith foundation in their lives. Nurturing faith at home goes beyond attending church services; it involves creating an environment that fosters spiritual growth, love, compassion, and understanding of Christian principles. In this blog post, we will explore practical ways to cultivate faith within your family and raise children with Christian values.

The Importance of Nurturing Faith at Home

Nurturing faith at home plays a pivotal role in the holistic development of children. It provides a secure and nurturing environment where kids can explore their spirituality, develop a moral compass, and build a deep connection with God. When children have a strong foundation of faith, they are better equipped to navigate life's challenges, make ethical decisions, and build meaningful relationships with others.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras stole the show Sunday at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards with a performance viewers are calling "demonic" and a "tribute to Satan."

Smith and Petras, who went on to take home the award for Best Pop Duo or Group Performance, took the stage to perform "Unholy" wreathed in red amid fire and red lights.

The 30-year-old Smith wore a horned hat and dog collar while his dancers used "props that had allusions to BDSM themes," according to a report.

"Unholy" has many sexual themes and name-drops Balenciaga, a fashion house continuing to face backlash over a controversial ad campaign that featured young children and BDSM props.

 To be born again is to have the Holy Spirit transform our hearts from indifference and hostility toward God to a love of God and a desire for righteousness and holiness. The only way one can come to God and experience what it means to be “born again” is through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ; read John 14:6.

1. Born Again Christian: The Birthmark of Confession

The first is the birthmark of confession, described in 1 John 5:1: “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.” Before you can have assurance of salvation, you have to believe and be saved. You have to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Some people assume they are saved because they grew up in a Christian culture, or they have gone to church all their lives, or they have been baptized, or they have tried to live a good life. Yet they’ve never distinctly and personally confessed Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

The Bible teaches that we are sinners, separated from God by a sinful nature. We can never earn, buy, or climb our way into heaven. By our own efforts or goodness, we can never be saved. That’s why God became a man who lived a wholly righteous life, died on the cross, shed His blood for us, and rose from the dead. He paid our penalty, took our judgment upon Himself, and He offers us the opportunity to be born again.

MY JOURNEY, Exactly a year ago same week (holy week of 2021)

I was going to talk about my deliverance more in detail from the past year, but I was still studying more about my situation and about my healing and my journey. For the past months, most of you may have known based from my IG post, that I found salvation in Jesus Christ. I have been very open about it on my blog and also on my social media. That is the power of being set free from our bondage that holds us back. I will and forever be grateful to Jesus for giving me this chance to SEE HIM CLEARLY, despite everything that was holding me back from praising HIM, Jesus still is ALIVE and is WORTHY TO BE PRAISED! I offer my whole entire life to my savior and my Lord, Jesus Christ. 

THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS

The name of Jesus is the most powerful name there is. God gave Jesus the "name that is above every name" (Philippians 2:9). Why is this name so powerful? It is because of the sacrifice He made—through living a perfect life, dying a sinner's death, and being resurrected. Jesus made a way for all of humanity to be saved and made right with God: "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13; cf. Acts 4:12). The literal name "Jesus" is not inherently powerful; it is powerful because of Jesus Christ, the person, God incarnate, who made a way for our salvation. When we talk about the name of Jesus, we are talking about Jesus Himself, His character and the things He does. - compellingtruth.org

After 3 months since my deliverance, I had shaven my head and that was the very first time I felt the urge to read again my bible. To my surprise, as I opened the Bible, I was lead to see these pages.
