26th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - September 28, 2025

 The readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C call us to care about others. In the first reading we are warned against being complacent while others suffer. The psalm praises the justice of God. In the second reading Paul reminds us to pursue virtues. In the gospel Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, where a wealthy man ignored the needs of a poor man every day.
The readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focus on themes of wealth, responsibility, and the afterlife. They challenge us to reflect on our own lives in light of eternal values.

• Wealth and Complacency: The reading from Amos criticizes those who are comfortable and indifferent to the suffering around them. It shows that God sees and judges our indifference, especially when we ignore others’ needs while living in luxury.

• Moral Integrity: Paul urges Timothy to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. This theme tells us that living a good life involves more than avoiding bad actions; it also requires actively cultivating virtues.

• Eternal Consequences: The Gospel parable about Lazarus and the rich man illustrates that our actions have consequences beyond this life. It teaches us that how we treat others, especially those in need, influences our eternal destiny.

• The Role of Scripture: The rich man learns that Moses and the prophets’ teachings are enough to guide us to live rightly. This emphasizes the importance of paying attention to Scripture as a guide for our lives.

• Justice for the Poor: Both Amos and the Gospel highlight God’s concern for the poor and suffering. It reminds us that our faith calls us to help those who are less fortunate.

• Ultimate Authority of God: Paul describes God as the only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. This reaffirms that all power and authority ultimately belong to God, and we are to live in a way that honors Him.

These themes from the readings of the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C invite us to examine our lives and align our actions with God’s expectations. They call us to live not just for today, but with an eye toward eternity.

6th Sunday of Easter - Year C - May 25, 2025

 
The 6th Sunday of Easter Year C brings us closer to the heart of the early Church’s journey. It invites us to reflect on key themes from the Mass readings and consider how they apply to our lives.

• Unity in Faith: The first reading shows the early Church dealing with disagreements. It reminds us that unity in faith requires listening and compromise.

• Guidance of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit helps guide the decisions of the apostles in Acts 15:28. We see how the Holy Spirit still guides the Church today.

• New Jerusalem: The second reading describes the vision of the New Jerusalem. It represents the hope and promise of a future with God.

• God’s Presence: In Revelation 21:22-23, we learn there is no need for a temple because God’s presence is everywhere. This shows us that God is always with us.

• Obedience to Jesus: The Gospel speaks about keeping Jesus’ word as a sign of love. Obeying Jesus’ teachings brings us closer to Him.

• Gift of Peace: Jesus promises peace in John 14:27. This peace is different from what the world offers and calms our hearts.

These themes highlight important lessons for our faith journey. The 6th Sunday of Easter Year C encourages us to seek unity, listen to the Holy Spirit, and embrace the peace Jesus gives us. (https://young-catholics.com/3557/6th-sunday-of-easter-year-c/ )

Pentecost Sunday - Year B - May 19, 2024

Thank you po sa mga bumisita. Pasensya at late ang post at naubusan ng allowance kaya di nakapagload ng data.

The readings for Pentecost Year B clearly tell us that we need to be willing to receive the Holy Spirit and then use the gifts we receive. In the first reading we hear how the Holy Spirit came to the disciples and empowered them to share the gospel with people from different nations. The second reading tells us that it is the Holy Spirit who enables us to proclaim the gospel in unity. In the gospel Jesus breathes on his followers and enables them to forgive sins.

Pentecost Year B marks a crucial event in the Christian calendar, celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles. Here are some key themes from the readings of this day:

• Empowerment by the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit descends on the disciples, enabling them to speak in diverse languages. This highlights the Spirit's role in empowering believers to communicate God's wonders universally.
• Living by the Spirit: Paul encourages living according to the Spirit, not the desires of the flesh. This contrast shows the transformation and guidance provided by the Spirit, leading to a life of virtue.
• Role of the Advocate: Jesus promises the Advocate, the Spirit of truth, who will testify about Him and guide the disciples into all truth. This points to the Spirit’s role in continuing Jesus' mission and revealing divine truths.
• Unity and diversity: The event of Pentecost illustrates the coming together of diverse peoples through the power of the Holy Spirit. It celebrates both unity and diversity within the Church.
• Fruits of the Spirit: The reading from Galatians lists the fruits of living in the Spirit, like love, joy, and peace. These qualities are marks of a Christian life deeply rooted in the Spirit.

The themes for Pentecost Year B guide believers in understanding their role in the Church and the wider world.

• Second Reading - 1 Corinthians 12:3B-7, 12-13: No one can say "Jesus is Lord" without the Holy Spirit. Diverse spiritual gifts, services, and functions come from one Spirit, uniting us as Christ's body, transcending all divisions.

• Alternate Second Reading - Galatians 5:16-25: Live guided by the Spirit, not the flesh's desires which oppose the Spirit. The flesh's acts are clear, but the Spirit's fruit brings virtues like love and self-control. In Christ, we overcome fleshly desires, walking in the Spirit's harmony.

• Gospel - John 20:19-23: On the evening following his resurrection, Jesus miraculously appeared to his disciples, who were hiding in fear.

6th Sunday of Easter - Year B - May 5, 2024

 
Sana naman kung mag-request kayo ng update hindi iyong parang entitled kayong utusan kami na para bang binayaran ninyo kami na gawin ito. Nakaka-offend po. Sana matuto po tayong lumugar at rumespeto.

For the 6th Sunday of Easter Year B, the readings offer rich insights into love, inclusion, and divine friendship. Each theme is closely connected with how believers are called to live and interact in light of God's love.

• God's impartial love: God shows no partiality among people; His love is for all, as shown when the Holy Spirit fills everyone listening to Peter, regardless of being Jew or Gentile. This teaches us that God’s love transcends human boundaries, inviting all into His divine family.

• Power of divine love: The second reading tells us that God is the essence of love itself, and loving others is how we truly know God. This emphasizes that love is not just a human emotion but a reflection of the divine presence within us.

• Commandment of love: Jesus commands His disciples to love one another as He has loved them. This directive is rooted in His own obedience and love for the Father, highlighting love as the fundamental principle of Christian life.

• Sacrifice as true love: Jesus speaks about the greatest love being shown when one lays down their life for their friends. This underlines the sacrificial nature of true love, exemplified by Jesus’ own life and death.

• Friendship with God: Elevating His followers from servants to friends, Jesus shares divine truths with them. This shift illustrates the deep, personal relationship God seeks with us, based on transparency and mutual love.

• Promise of answered prayers: Jesus assures that requests made in His name will be granted. This not only shows the power of prayer but also the confidence we can have in God’s responsiveness to our needs.

The readings for the 6th Sunday of Easter Year B illustrate various dimensions of love as the core of Christian identity. These themes each point back to the fundamental truth that God is love, and our lives should reflect this reality.

He desires their complete joy through this mutual love. Emphasizing the ultimate expression of love—sacrificing one’s life for friends—he elevates them from servants to friends, sharing divine truths. Jesus underscores His choice of them to bear lasting fruit and assures that their requests in His name will be granted by the Father. His central command: love one another.
