5th Sunday of Lent - Year C - April 6, 2025

 The 5th Sunday of Lent Year C highlights God’s mercy and our journey in faith. The readings guide us to reflect on new beginnings and leaving behind our old ways.

• New Beginnings: In Isaiah, God promises to do something new for His people. This theme reminds us that God always offers us a fresh start.
• Forget the Past: God tells His people to forget former things. This means we should not dwell on past mistakes but focus on the future.
• Striving for Christ: In Philippians, Paul talks about striving to know Christ better. This theme encourages us to make Christ the center of our lives.
• Pressing Onward: Paul also speaks about pressing on towards the goal. This reminds us to keep moving forward in our faith journey.
• God’s Mercy: In the Gospel, Jesus forgives the woman caught in adultery. This theme shows that God is always ready to forgive our sins.
• Avoiding Judgement: Jesus tells the accusers that whoever is without sin should throw the first stone. This teaches us not to judge others, as we are all sinners.
• Freedom from Sin: Jesus’ forgiveness brings freedom to the woman. This reminds us that God’s forgiveness frees us from the burden of sin.
• Hope for Renewal: The readings give hope that God will renew our lives. This theme encourages us to trust in God’s promises for a better future.

4th Sunday of Lent - Year C - March 30, 2025

Thank you very much for the support and visit. We are very sorry sometimes if we cannot update this blog as we encounter problems also in time and finances. Hoping for your understanding.

The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C features readings that highlight God’s call, the power of love, and the challenges of following Jesus. These themes remind us of the courage needed to live out our faith and the importance of love in our Christian journey.

• God’s Call: In the first reading, God calls Jeremiah before his birth. This reminds us that God has a purpose for each of us from the beginning.
• Courage in the Face of Opposition: Jeremiah is warned that he will face resistance. This theme teaches us to stand firm in our faith, even when others oppose us.
• The Greatest Gift is Love: The second reading from Corinthians emphasizes love as the greatest gift. It encourages us to prioritize love in all our actions and relationships.
• The Endurance of Love: St. Paul describes love as patient and kind. This theme underscores the importance of loving others, even when it is difficult.
• Rejection of Jesus: The Gospel shows Jesus being rejected in his hometown. This teaches us that following Jesus may lead to rejection, but we must stay true to our faith.
• Prophets Without Honor: Jesus points out that prophets are often not accepted in their own country. This reminds us that sometimes those closest to us may not understand our faith journey.
• Faithfulness Despite Challenges: All three readings highlight the importance of being faithful. Whether called to speak difficult truths or love others, we must remain steadfast in our faith.

The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourages us to embrace God’s call and love others deeply. It also reminds us that faith can be challenging but is worth the effort. We are called to live out our faith with courage and love, even in difficult times.

6.      Seek the Lord (O’Connor)

Readings:

• First Reading – Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19: God declares He knew and chose His prophet before birth, commanding him to speak boldly. Despite opposition, God promises strength and protection, ensuring victory through His presence.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 71: Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

I seek refuge in the Lord, asking for rescue and deliverance, trusting Him as my fortress and rock since youth, and vowing to proclaim His justice and salvation.

• Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13: Though spiritual gifts are important, love is superior. Without love, even great abilities are meaningless. Love is patient, kind, and enduring. It outlasts all gifts, and among faith, hope, and love, it is the greatest.
• Gospel – Luke 4:21-30: In a synagogue, Jesus announced the fulfillment of Scripture, astonishing the audience with his eloquence. They recognized him as Joseph’s son. Jesus anticipated their skepticism and referenced Elijah and Elisha, who ministered to non-Israelites, illustrating a prophet’s rejection at home. This incited anger, leading to an attempt to harm him, but he left unscathed.

3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - March 23, 2025

 Pasensya na po at nahuli, nabusy lang po sa school.

The 3rd Sunday of Lent Year C helps us reflect on God’s call, repentance, and growth. The readings from Exodus, Corinthians, and Luke guide us to understand our faith journey better.

• God’s Call to Moses: In Exodus, God calls Moses from the burning bush. This shows that God reaches out to guide and lead His people.
• God’s Promise of Freedom: God promises to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This reminds us that God is always working to free us from our own sins and struggles.
• Warnings Against Idolatry: In Corinthians, Paul warns against idol worship and turning away from God. This teaches us to stay faithful and avoid things that take us away from God.
• Importance of Repentance: Jesus in Luke speaks about the need to repent. He warns that without repentance, we will perish, showing the importance of turning back to God.
• God’s Patience: The parable of the fig tree in Luke highlights God’s patience. He gives us time to change and grow in faith, but we must respond.
• Fruitfulness in Faith: The fig tree parable also teaches about bearing fruit. We are called to live fruitful lives, showing our faith through actions.
• God’s Presence in Hard Times: The readings remind us that God is with us in difficult times. Like He was with the Israelites, He supports and guides us through our challenges.
• Community and Accountability: Paul speaks to the Corinthians about learning from their ancestors’ mistakes. This shows the importance of community and holding each other accountable in our faith.

Reflecting on these themes during the 3rd Sunday of Lent Year C helps deepen our understanding of God’s presence and our need for repentance. The readings guide us to live more faithfully and trust in God’s promises.

6.      Hosea (Norbet)

Readings:

• First Reading – Exodus 3:1-8A, 13-15: Moses encounters God in a burning bush at Horeb. Instructed to remove his sandals on holy ground, he is tasked to rescue Israelites from Egypt, armed with God’s name, “I AM.”
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 103: Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
• I praise the Lord for His kindness: forgiving sins, healing diseases, rescuing lives, and crowning with love. He is righteous, merciful, and gracious, with boundless mercy.
• Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12: Our forefathers, guided by a cloud and sea, were baptized into Moses, shared spiritual sustenance, and drank from Christ, the spiritual rock. Their failures in the wilderness warn us against evil cravings and complacency.
• Gospel – Luke 13:1-9: Jesus addressed the news of Galileans killed by Pilate, emphasizing that suffering isn’t directly linked to personal sinfulness.
  
  
  He called for repentance to avoid a similar fate. He then told a parable of a barren fig tree; a gardener sought more time to nurture it, symbolizing God’s patience and call for repentance.

1st Sunday of Lent - Year C - March 9, 2025

Lent is a short season of six weeks intended to prepare us for the great celebrations of Easter. Lent comes from the old Anglo-Saxon and Old German words for spring marked by days that lengthen. The idea of penitence and fasting during Lent may have begun in earlier, hungrier times as a means of spiritualizing real shortages of food at this time of year. 
 
The 1st Sunday of Lent Year C begins our journey through Lent. This is a time to reflect on our faith and grow closer to God.

• Faith and Confession: Romans 10:9-10 emphasizes the importance of confessing our faith in Jesus. This theme reminds us to openly profess our belief in Christ during Lent.

• Temptation and Resistance: In Luke 4:1-13, Jesus is tempted by the devil but resists. This teaches us to stand strong against temptations in our lives.

• God’s Help in Trials: Jesus’ time in the desert shows that God is with us in our struggles. We can rely on God’s help when we face challenges.

• Scripture as Guidance: Jesus uses Scripture to counter the devil’s temptations. This shows the power of God’s word in guiding us and protecting us.

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - February 23, 2025

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - February 23, 2025

Thanks for the visit.

The readings for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C teach us about mercy, forgiveness, and love. These themes show us how to live like Jesus in our everyday lives.

• Mercy over revenge: David shows mercy to Saul, sparing his life even when he has the chance to kill him (1 Samuel 26:2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23). This teaches us to choose mercy over revenge.

• Love your enemies: Jesus tells us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us (Luke 6:27-28). This shows the radical love we are called to have.

I praise the Lord and remember His kindness: forgiving sins, healing ailments, and saving from despair, showing endless mercy and love, far surpassing our shortcomings.

• Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 15:45-49: The first Adam was earthly, the last Adam (Christ) a life-giving spirit. We, once earthly, will transform to bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
