24th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - September 14, 2025 (Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross)

 

The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross remembers the Cross of Jesus. It has been celebrated by the Church for centuries. The feast began in the 4th century, when the True Cross was found by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine. Tradition says she found the Cross in Jerusalem, where Jesus was crucified. This discovery made a deep impression on Christians and led to honoring the Cross in a special way.

The feast celebrates the Cross because it is the symbol of our faith. The Cross shows us how much Jesus loves us. He died on the Cross to save us from our sins. In Christian tradition, the Cross is a sign of hope, even though it was an instrument of death. It reminds us that Jesus turned suffering and death into victory and life.

We celebrate this feast on September 14. On this day in the year 335, the Church in Jerusalem dedicated a new church built on the site where Jesus died and rose from the dead. The church was built to honor both His crucifixion and His resurrection. Every year since then, the Church remembers this day and the power of the Cross.

The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a time to reflect on what the Cross means to us. It is more than a symbol. It is a reminder of God’s love and mercy. By celebrating this feast, we honor the victory Jesus won for us through His death and resurrection.

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - September 7, 2025

 The 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C calls us to reflect on discipleship and the wisdom needed to follow Christ. The readings challenge us to choose Jesus above everything else and to rely on God for understanding.

• The cost of discipleship: Jesus reminds us that following Him requires sacrifice. We must be willing to put Him above all else, even when it is difficult.
• God’s wisdom over human understanding: The first reading shows that God’s wisdom is greater than ours. We need His guidance to make the right choices in life.
• Detachment from possessions: The Gospel challenges us to let go of material things. True discipleship means not being controlled by wealth or possessions.
• Carrying the cross: Jesus speaks about the need to carry our crosses. This means accepting struggles and hardships with trust in Him.
• Welcoming others as family: In the second reading, Paul asks Philemon to welcome Onesimus as a brother. This reminds us that we are all part of God’s family.
• Counting the cost: The Gospel asks us to think carefully before following Jesus. Discipleship requires commitment and planning for the challenges ahead.

The 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C helps us reflect on what it means to truly follow Jesus. The readings invite us to trust God’s wisdom and let go of anything that keeps us from Him.

• Humility before God: Sirach advises humility, reminding us to be modest and not to seek praise. We should acknowledge our limitations and depend on God.

• Serving others: Helping those in need without expecting anything in return reflects true Christian love. Service is a key aspect of living out our faith.

• Respect for all: Respect everyone, not just the wealthy or powerful, as everyone is valuable in God’s eyes. This shows that all people deserve love and kindness.

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - August 24, 2025

Sorry if nahuli ulit kami today sa pagpost. Pahirapan kasi cellphone ang gamit sa pag-update. Nasunog kasi ang kwarto namin last Thursday while we are in school. Pati laptop at tablet ay nasunog. Pero okay naman atleast walang nasaktan.
 
PARA MATUTO DIN KAYONG GUMAWA NG SARILI NINYONG LINE-UP, THE THEME BELOW ARE USEFUL KEYWORDS PARA SA MGA KANTANG GAGAWIN NINYO.
 
The 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C offers rich readings that focus on themes of inclusion, humility, and God’s call to all people. These themes encourage us to reflect on God’s invitation to enter His kingdom and the attitudes we should cultivate to be part of His family.

• Universal Call: The readings remind us that God calls people from all nations to know Him. Isaiah speaks of gathering people from distant lands, showing God’s desire for a diverse and inclusive family.

• Discipline and Growth: In Hebrews, we learn that God disciplines those He loves, like a parent guides a child. This discipline helps us grow in righteousness and peace.

• Humility and Effort: Jesus emphasizes the need to strive to enter through the narrow gate. This requires humility and effort, recognizing that salvation is not automatic but involves our cooperation.

• Reversal of Expectations: The Gospel warns that some who are last will be first and some first will be last. This teaches us not to be complacent or assume our place is secure without genuine faith and love.

• The Importance of Listening: Listening to God’s word is crucial for entering His kingdom. Hebrews stresses the importance of hearing and responding to God’s call with a willing heart.

• Judgment and Accountability: The readings highlight the reality of judgment. Jesus’ teaching on the narrow gate reminds us that we will be accountable for our choices and actions.

These themes encourage us to live faithfully and humbly, recognizing God’s call to all and the importance of our response. Reflecting on these messages helps us understand our role in God’s plan and the importance of our commitment to Him.

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - August 17, 2025

 The readings for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C highlight the challenges of living out the faith. They show how faith can bring division, suffering, and the need for perseverance.

• Faith and Conflict: Jesus speaks of bringing division, not peace. Faith can lead to disagreements and even conflict within families and communities.
• Perseverance in Suffering: Jeremiah suffers for speaking God’s truth. The reading from Hebrews calls us to persevere like Jesus, who endured the cross.
• The Cost of Discipleship: Following Jesus is not easy. It may mean facing opposition, even from those closest to us.
• The Role of Prophets: Jeremiah was persecuted for his message. Prophets often face rejection because they speak difficult truths.
• Endurance in the Race: The reading from Hebrews encourages us to run the race with endurance. We are called to keep our eyes on Jesus and not give up, even when it is hard.
• Fire of the Gospel: Jesus says He came to bring fire on the earth. The Gospel challenges us and calls for a passionate response.

These themes from the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C remind us that following Jesus requires courage and endurance. The readings encourage us to stay faithful, even when it is difficult.

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - August 10, 2025

 The 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C teaches about faith, readiness, and trust in God. The readings encourage believers to stay faithful, prepare for what is to come, and rely on God’s promises.

• Faith in God’s Promises: Abraham trusted God’s promises even when he could not see how they would come true. The readings show how faith means believing in what God says, even when it seems impossible.
• Readiness for the Lord: Jesus tells His followers to be ready for His coming at any time. The Gospel warns that those who are prepared will be blessed, but those who are careless will face consequences.
• Trust Over Fear: Jesus tells His followers not to be afraid because God cares for them. Faith means trusting that God is in control, even when things seem uncertain.
• Obedience to God’s Call: Abraham obeyed God and left his home without knowing where he was going. The readings remind believers that faith often requires action, even when the future is unclear.
• Stewardship and Responsibility: Jesus speaks about servants who must take care of what their master has given them. The Gospel teaches that God expects people to use their gifts wisely and not waste what they have been given.
• Hope for the Future: The Israelites trusted that God would rescue them from Egypt. The readings encourage believers to hope in God’s promises, even when they are waiting for answers.

Faith means trusting God even when life is uncertain. The 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C reminds believers to stay faithful, live responsibly, and prepare for what God has planned.

18th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - August 3, 2025

 On the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C, the readings call us to examine our values and priorities. They remind us to look beyond material wealth and focus on what is eternal. Here are some key themes from this Sunday’s readings.

• The Emptiness of Wealth: The first reading warns us that worldly riches and success can feel empty. It reminds us that only God can give lasting joy and fulfillment.
• Setting Hearts on Heaven: Paul encourages believers to seek what is above and keep their focus on God’s kingdom. This calls us to prioritize spiritual growth over material concerns.
• Letting Go of Greed: Jesus’ parable in the Gospel warns against greed and storing up riches. It shows that selfish desires can separate us from God and others.
• True Security in God: The readings remind us that earthly wealth is fragile, but God’s love is steady and secure. Our security and peace come from trusting in God rather than possessions.
• Living for Eternal Life: Paul calls us to focus on eternal life by living in a way that pleases God. This theme reminds us that our actions should reflect our hope in heaven.
• The Folly of Selfish Ambition: The Gospel warns against putting our ambitions above God and others. It challenges us to use our blessings to serve and to help others.
• Seeking Lasting Joy: The readings call us to seek joy that endures beyond this life. True joy comes from our relationship with God and living according to His ways.

These themes from the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to live with purpose and hope in God. They remind us that true happiness and peace come from placing our lives in God’s hands.
