sumusuporta at nakasubaybay dito.
The readings for the 26th Sunday
in Ordinary Time Year A focus on staying on the path of discipleship. When we
do sin, we need to turn back to God. He will show us the way. It requires a
humble heart to admit we have sinned and seek to get back on the right path.
Christ is our model of obedience and humility.
Theme:- Parable of Two Sons: The parable of the two
sons highlights the theme of obedience and response to God’s call. The
contrast between the two sons’ initial reactions illustrates the
importance of genuine actions over empty promises.
- Repentance and Actions: The son who initially
refused but later obeyed his father showcases the theme of repentance and
transformation. This emphasizes the possibility of change and the
significance of aligning one’s actions with God’s will.
- Hypocrisy and Self-Deception: The theme of
hypocrisy and self-deception is evident as Jesus contrasts verbal
agreement with actual obedience. He challenges the religious leaders’
outward appearances that mask their lack of genuine response.
- Tax Collectors and Prostitutes: Jesus’
reference to tax collectors and prostitutes entering the kingdom ahead of
the religious leaders emphasizes the theme of unexpected redemption. This
highlights God’s willingness to forgive and transform even those society
deems less worthy.
- Belief and Transformation: The parable’s focus
on the son’s eventual change highlights the theme of belief leading to
transformation. This emphasizes the importance of faith that results in
authentic life changes.
- Humble Acceptance of God’s Will: The son’s
shift from rebellion to obedience showcases the theme of humbly accepting
God’s will. This emphasizes the value of yielding to God’s plans rather
than asserting our own desires.

Hello
and thank you our dear brothers and sisters for visiting us this week. Please do
help us sustain this blog by clicking the ads shown.
The
readings for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A highlight God’s
generosity. In the first reading we are told that God does not think the way we
think. The psalm praises God’s compassion, justice, and mercy. The second
reading reminds us that we must labor to imitate Christ. And in the gospel
Jesus tells the parable about the workers in the vineyard and the generous
landowner who paid them all the same wage.
Theme: (You can choose or add songs
that is relevant or connected for the message of this week readings)
- Fair
Compensation: This
theme revolves around the concept of fairness in compensation for work
done. It explores the idea that equal effort should result in equitable
rewards.
- Generosity
and Grace: The
gospel presents the idea of showing generosity and grace even when it’s
unexpected. This theme underlines the value of extending kindness to
others without a fixed set of conditions.
- Challenging
Conventional Norms: The
text challenges the conventional understanding of work and rewards. It
emphasizes that sometimes, established norms should be reevaluated to
ensure a just and compassionate society.
- Equality
of Worth: This
theme highlights the inherent worth of all individuals, regardless of
their contributions. It suggests that everyone deserves respect and
consideration, irrespective of their roles.
- Jealousy
and Comparison: This
theme delves into the issue of jealousy and the tendency to compare
oneself with others. It reflects on how such feelings can arise when
others receive equal treatment despite differing efforts.
- Divine
Perspective: The
gospel offers a divine perspective on matters of compensation and worth.
It suggests that human notions of fairness may differ from how God
perceives these concepts.

Readings:- First

merciful Lord. His thoughts surpass ours, as heaven is above earth. His
ways and thoughts are beyond ours.
- Responsorial
Psalm – Psalm
145: The Lord is near to all who call upon him.
Daily I’ll bless and praise
You, O Lord, forever. Your greatness is beyond measure. You’re gracious,
merciful, slow to anger, kind, and just. You’re near to all who call upon You.- Second
Reading – Philippians
1:20C-24, 27A: In life or death, I magnify Christ. Life means fruitful
labor. Caught between longing for departure to be with Christ and staying
for your benefit. Live worthily of the gospel.
- Gospel – Matthew
20:1-16A: The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who hires laborers
at different times. Those who worked only an hour received the same wage
as those who worked all day. The landowner’s generosity teaches that God’s
ways are not based on human standards of fairness.

The
readings for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year A focus on mercy and
forgiveness. In the first reading we are told we must forgive each other for
“wrath and anger are hateful things”. The psalm reminds us that God shows us
mercy. The second reading tells us to live for Christ instead of ourselves. And
in the gospel Jesus tells parables about mercy and tells Peter that we must
forgive “seventy times seven” times.
Themes:- Boundless Forgiveness: In response to Peter,
Jesus showcases the idea that forgiveness knows no bounds. He highlights
the importance of unlimited forgiveness.
- Mercy Illustrated: The Parable of the
Unforgiving Servant draws a sharp contrast between the master’s mercy and
the servant’s lack of it. This vividly shows the significance of being
merciful to others.
- Debt and Divine
Mercy: The
passage employs the concept of debt metaphorically to emphasize God’s
immense forgiveness. It encourages us to contemplate this divine mercy.
- Mutual Forgiveness: The parable’s principle of
“forgive as you wish to be forgiven” highlights the link between our
readiness to forgive and God’s forgiveness towards us.
- Compassion vs. Judgment: The tension between
the master’s compassion and eventual judgment underscores that our
compassion towards others directly influences the mercy we receive from
God.
- Genuine
Forgiveness: Jesus concludes by stressing heartfelt
forgiveness. It goes beyond mere words and actions, demanding a true
internal transformation. Forgiveness and letting go require substantial
effort.
- Spiritual
Acts of Mercy: The
themes of “Forgive Injuries” and “Bear Wrongs Patiently” align well with
Matthew 18:21-35. Forgiving injuries connects with the parable’s message
of limitless forgiveness, while enduring wrongs resonates with compassion
and the balance between judgment and mercy.

3. Hosea

- First Reading – Sirach
27:30—28:7: Wrath and anger are condemned, while forgiveness of others
is commended. Remember mortality and God’s commandments, setting aside
enmity and overlooking faults.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm
103: The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in
compassion.
- Bless the Lord for his
kindness and mercy. He pardons iniquities, heals ills, and redeems lives.
His compassion is vast, putting transgressions far away from those who
fear him.
- Second Reading – Romans
14:7-9: Whether living or dying, we belong to the Lord. Christ’s death
and resurrection affirm that he is Lord of both the living and the dead,
and our lives should reflect that.
- Gospel – Matthew
18:21-35: Jesus teaches about forgiveness using a parable of a servant
forgiven a huge debt but who then refuses to forgive a smaller debt. The
master, angry at this hypocrisy, punishes him. Jesus warns that we must
forgive others wholeheartedly.

The
readings for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A focus on a conversion of
heart. We are encouraged to overcome sinfulness and to go beyond merely
following the letter of the law and to truly love. And we are to support each
other along the path to holiness and help each other overcome our sinfulness.
- Community
Accountability:
The gospel emphasizes the responsibility of the community in addressing
conflicts and promoting accountability. This theme highlights the
interconnectedness of believers and their role in supporting each other’s
spiritual journey.
- Divine
Presence in Unity:
Jesus’ assurance of His presence when two or three gather in His name
underscores the theme of divine presence within a united community. This
highlights the significance of communal worship, prayer, and
decision-making.
- Conversion
of Heart:
The passage underscores the importance of addressing conflicts and sins
within the community. This theme resonates with the concept of conversion,
as it invites individuals to examine their hearts, admit wrongdoing, and
seek reconciliation.
- Sacrament
of Reconciliation:
Jesus’ instructions about approaching a brother who has sinned mirror the
principles of confession and reconciliation within the Church. This theme
reflects the sacramental aspect of seeking forgiveness and restoring one’s
relationship with God and the community.
- Overcoming
Hatred:
The passage promotes a process that seeks to mend relationships rather
than perpetuate hatred. This theme aligns with the idea of forgiving those
who have wronged us, promoting forgiveness as a way to overcome animosity.
- Social
Justice:
The principle of addressing wrongs within the community reflects the
broader concept of social justice. This theme emphasizes the importance of
resolving conflicts to maintain harmony and promote justice among
individuals.

Let us sing joyfully to the
Lord, acclaiming our salvation, and coming into His presence with thanksgiving.
But heed the warning not to harden our hearts, reflecting on past disobedience.- Second
reading – Romans
13:8-10: Owing love to one another fulfills the law. The commandments
are summarized by loving your neighbor as yourself, for love does no evil
and is the complete fulfillment of the law.
- Gospel – Matthew
18:15-20: If a brother sins, discuss it privately, then with witnesses
if needed, and finally with the church. What is agreed on earth reflects
in heaven, and where people gather in Jesus’s name, he is present.

The readings for the 22nd
Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A focus on our natural longing for God. In the first
reading Jeremiah realizes he cannot escape his burning desire for God. The
second reading tells us that we must allow ourselves to be transformed to be
one with Christ. And in the gospel Jesus explains that following him means
making sacrifices. Are we willing to do what it takes to be a disciple?
- Unwavering Resolve:
In the first reading, Jeremiah affirms his commitment to proclaiming God’s
message despite the challenges. This theme reflects the determination to
persevere in one’s calling, even in the face of adversity.
- Living Sacrifice:
The second reading encourages believers to present themselves as living
sacrifices to God. This theme emphasizes the idea of offering one’s whole
life in dedicated service to God.
- Suffering Messiah:
The gospel highlights Jesus’ prediction of His own suffering, death, and
resurrection. This theme emphasizes the sacrificial aspect of His mission.
- Human Ambitions vs. God’s Will: Jesus rebukes Peter for
opposing His path of suffering. This theme underscores the contrast
between human desires and God’s divine plan.
- Self-Denial and Cross-Bearing: Jesus talks about taking up the
cross to follow Him. This theme stresses the need for self-denial and a
willingness to embrace difficulties for the sake of Christ.
- Sacrificing Earthly Gain: Jesus mentions gaining the
world but losing one’s soul. This theme highlights the importance of
prioritizing eternal values over temporary worldly gains.
- Judgment and Reward: The passage discusses the Son of Man coming to
reward each person according to their deeds. This theme emphasizes
accountability and the ultimate consequences of one’s choices.

Readings:- First Reading – Jeremiah
20:7-9: You, O LORD, overcame me, and though I’m mocked and derided, I
cannot hold back your word. It burns in my heart, and I cannot endure
keeping it inside.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm
63: My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O God, I seek you with a
thirst like dry, lifeless earth. I’ve seen your power and glory; your kindness
is greater than life. My soul clings to you, and your right hand upholds me.- Second Reading – Romans
12:1-2: I urge you to offer yourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God. Don’t conform to this age but renew your mind to discern
what is good and pleasing to God.
- Gospel – Matthew
16:21-27: Jesus begins to explain that He must suffer, be killed, and
resurrect. Peter rebukes Him, but Jesus says that Peter’s thinking like a
man, not God. He tells His followers to deny themselves, take up their
crosses, and follow Him. Gaining the world but losing one’s soul is
futile. The Son of Man will come and reward each according to their deeds.
