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.

• Forgive and be forgiven: Jesus teaches us to forgive others and we will be forgiven (Luke 6:37). Forgiveness is a key part of Christian living.

• Generosity in giving: Jesus encourages us to give without expecting anything in return (Luke 6:30, 38). This generosity reflects God’s love for us.

• Image of the heavenly man: Paul explains that we are to bear the image of Christ, the heavenly man (1 Corinthians 15:45-49). We are called to live like Christ.

• Judging others: Jesus warns against judging others (Luke 6:37). We are called to show understanding and compassion.

The 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C reminds us of the importance of love, mercy, and forgiveness in our lives. By following these teachings, we can live more like Jesus every day.

The Baptism of the Lord - Year C - January 12, 2025

 Sorry for the delayed post, nagkaproblema lang po sa internet.

In the first reading for the Baptism of the Lord Year C we hear being formed and presented as a light for the nations. The alternate first reading foretells the coming of John the Baptist. The psalm tells us to give God the glory. The alternate psalm praises God for his life-giving power. In the second reading we hear that Jesus was anointed with the Spirit. The alternate second reading we are told Christ renews us with his Spirit. The gospel tells of the baptism of Jesus Christ, when the Spirit descended, and a voice declared “You are my beloved Son”.

• The Baptism of Jesus: The gospel for the Baptism of the Lord Year C describes Jesus’ baptism by John, symbolizing His identification with humanity, His submission to God’s will, and the beginning of His public ministry.
• John the Baptist’s Role: The gospel for the Baptism of the Lord Year C also highlights John the Baptist’s proclamation of the coming Messiah and his role as the forerunner preparing the way for Jesus’ ministry.
• The Holy Spirit: The presence of the Holy Spirit is prominent in this passage, as the Spirit descends upon Jesus in the form of a dove, signifying His anointing and empowerment for His ministry.
• Divine Confirmation: The voice from heaven affirms Jesus as the beloved Son of God, expressing the divine confirmation of His identity and mission.
• Trinitarian Revelation: The baptism scene reveals the simultaneous presence of the Father (voice from heaven), the Son (Jesus being baptized), and the Holy Spirit (descending like a dove), providing a glimpse into the Trinitarian nature of God.
• The Call to Repentance and Obedience: John the Baptist’s message of repentance and his call to bear fruits of righteousness resonate throughout the passage, highlighting the importance of turning away from sin and living a life aligned with God’s will.

• Alternate Second Reading – Titus 2:11-14; 3:4-7: God’s grace saves all, teaching us to live righteously. Jesus sacrificed himself for our deliverance, cleansing a devoted people for Himself. Our salvation, through rebirth and Holy Spirit’s renewal, is due to God’s mercy, enabling us to become heirs of eternal life.
• Gospel – Luke 3:15-16, 21-22: The people wondered if John the Baptist was the Christ, but he clarified that he baptized with water while someone more powerful would come to baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. When Jesus was baptized by John, heaven opened, the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove, and a voice from heaven affirmed Jesus as God’s beloved Son, in whom He is well pleased.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - November 10, 2024

 Thanks for visiting our blog.
 The 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B features readings that emphasize faith, sacrifice, and trust in God. These themes help us reflect on our relationship with God and others. From these themes below, you can create your own line-up of songs if you are familiar with the majority of songs of our church.

• Trust in God’s plan: In 1 Kings 17:10-16, the widow trusts Elijah’s word from God and is blessed with food. This shows that trusting God’s plan brings blessings.

• Generosity in poverty: The widow in Mark 12:38-44 gives all she has. Her generosity shows that true giving comes from the heart, not from excess.

• Sacrifice: Hebrews 9:24-28 speaks about Jesus’ sacrifice. Jesus’ offering of himself is the ultimate act of love and service.

• Humility: Jesus criticizes the scribes in Mark 12:38-44 for their pride. Humility is important in our relationship with God and others.

• Faith in God’s promises: The widow in 1 Kings 17:10-16 acts on faith. Believing in God’s promises leads to unexpected blessings.

• Jesus as the mediator: Hebrews 9:24-28 describes Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity. This emphasizes the importance of Jesus in our salvation.

• True wealth: The story of the widow’s mite in Mark 12:38-44 shows that true wealth is not measured by money. It’s about giving and trusting in God.

• Obedience to God: Elijah asks the widow to make bread in 1 Kings 17:10-16, and she obeys. Her obedience leads to God providing for her needs.

The readings for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B remind us of the importance of trust, faith, and humility in our lives. Reflecting on these themes can strengthen our relationship with God and guide us in our daily actions.

31st Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - November 3, 2024

Pasensya kung natagalan at nabusy sa school. Ang tema na nasa baba ay pwede po ninyong maging basehan upang makagawa kayo ng inyong sariling line-up ng kanta sa darating na linggo. You can practice also the songs of Hangad that I posted through a youtube video link. They are good and liturgical kasi alam kong may iba dito na belong sa mga parish na ang mga Parish priests are very sensitive in terms of songs kung liturgical ba talaga o hindi.
 
On the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, we reflect on key teachings from Deuteronomy, Hebrews, and the Gospel of Mark. These readings guide us in understanding love, obedience, and Jesus’ eternal priesthood.

• Love of God: In Deuteronomy, we are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength. This shows the importance of putting God first in our lives.

• Obedience to Commandments: Deuteronomy also calls us to keep God’s commandments. Obeying these commandments brings us closer to God and guides our actions.

• Jesus’ Eternal Priesthood: Hebrews emphasizes that Jesus is our eternal high priest. His priesthood is perfect and unchanging, unlike the priests of the old covenant.

• Perfect Sacrifice: Jesus offers himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. This sacrifice is once and for all, showing his great love and mercy.

• Greatest Commandments: In Mark, Jesus teaches that the greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbor. These two commandments summarize the entire law and the prophets.

• Unity of Love and Law: Jesus’ teaching in Mark unites love and law. True love for God naturally leads to loving others and keeping God’s commandments.

Reflecting on these themes for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B helps us grow in our faith and understanding. On the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, we are reminded of God’s love and our call to love him and others.
