Friday, October 03, 2025, Every first Friday of the month, The Youth of the Parish of Ang Muling Pagkabuhay Ng Ating Panginoon, Bagong Silang, Caloocan City, Philippines, gather in prayerful silence before the Blessed Sacrament. In the midst of the noise of city life, with the pressures of school, work, and daily struggles, they choose to pause, come before the Lord, and draw strength from Him.

Adoration becomes a special moment for the young people of this Parish: a sacred space where weary hearts find peace, troubled minds are calmed, and thirsty souls are refreshed by the love of Christ, truly present in the Eucharist.

Through prayer, songs, and silence, the youth learn to entrust their lives to Jesus, the True Friend. They bring their hopes, dreams, and even their struggles, offering them to God. In this encounter, they are reminded that with Christ, their lives have direction, purpose, and deeper meaning.

This time of adoration also strengthens the bonds of community. As one family in faith, the Youth of Ang Muling Pagkabuhay Ng Ating Panginoon Parish support one another, grow together, and commit themselves to becoming witnesses of hope for those around them. From adoration, they are sent forth to live out God’s love in concrete ways—within their families, schools, workplaces, and ministries.

Thus, every first Friday, adoration is not just a routine, but a life-giving encounter: an encounter with Jesus who loves unconditionally, and an encounter with one another as companions on the journey of faith.
