We are very sorry for not consistently posting here as we are busy also with our academics and personal life at medyo kapos din sa budget because of our thesis. We will always do our best to post sometimes here.
The readings for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A are a call to humility and holiness. The first reading demands that we listen to God and love one another. The psalm reminds us to find our peace and rest in God. The second reading tells us that we work to proclaim the Good News. And in the gospel, Jesus calls out those who lay heavy laws on others but do not practice what they preach.
- Practice vs. Preach: Jesus criticizes the
religious leaders for not practicing what they preach. This theme
highlights the importance of congruency between one’s words and actions in
religious life.
- Heavy Burdens: The religious
authorities are blamed for laying heavy burdens on others while not
lifting a finger themselves. This theme centers on the unjust imposition
of religious obligations without personal commitment.
- Humility over Titles: Jesus advises against
using honorific titles like “Rabbi” and emphasizes the value of humility.
This theme promotes a down-to-earth approach over seeking social or
religious status.

- First Reading – Malachi
1:14B-2:2B, 8-10: I am a great King and demand respect. Priests, if
you don’t honor my name, I’ll curse you. You’ve strayed and made others
falter, breaking the covenant. Remember, we all have one God.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm
131: My heart isn’t proud, Lord. I don’t aim for things beyond me.
Instead, I’m at peace, quiet like a child with its mother. Israel, put
your hope in the Lord.
- Second Reading – 1
Thessalonians 2:7b-9, 13: We were kind to you, like a mother to her
children. We shared not just the gospel, but ourselves. You know we worked
hard to not be a burden. We’re thankful you received God’s word, not just
human words.
- Gospel – Matthew
23:1-12: Jesus tells the crowd and his disciples to follow the
teachings of the scribes and Pharisees but not their actions. He
criticizes them for being showy and not genuinely helping others. He
advises against using titles like “Rabbi” and “Master,” emphasizing
humility and service instead.
