4th Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday)- Year A - March 15, 2026

 The 4th Sunday of Lent Year A invites us to reflect on seeing with the eyes of faith. The readings show how God looks at the heart, brings light to darkness, and heals spiritual blindness.

• Seeing as God Sees: God chooses David because of his heart, not his appearance. This reminds us to value inner goodness and to look beyond outward appearances.
• Light and Darkness: Believers are called to live as children of light. This means rejecting sin and letting Christ’s light guide our actions.
• Spiritual Blindness and Sight: Jesus heals the man born blind, revealing spiritual blindness in those who refuse to believe. This shows the importance of faith and openness to God’s truth.
• Faith and Conversion: The blind man’s journey from physical healing to faith in Jesus shows a deep conversion. This challenges us to grow in faith and recognize Jesus as the Son of God.
• God’s Choice and Calling: God chooses David, the unlikely shepherd, to be king. This shows that God often chooses the humble and overlooked to fulfill His plans.
• Courage to Witness: The healed man boldly defends Jesus before the Pharisees. His courage inspires us to stand up for our faith, even when challenged.

The 4th Sunday of Lent Year A challenges us to open our hearts to God’s light and see with faith. It calls us to grow in trust, courage, and love for Christ.

Readings:

• First Reading – 1 Samuel 16:1B, 6-7, 10-13A: Samuel is sent by the Lord to anoint one of Jesse’s sons as the new king of Israel, replacing Saul. Initially, Samuel believes that Eliab, Jesse’s eldest son, must be the chosen one, but the Lord reveals to him that he looks at the heart, not outward appearances, and leads him to anoint David, the youngest son, who is a shepherd.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 23: If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
• The Lord is a faithful and loving shepherd who provides for and protects his sheep. The psalmist describes the Lord’s provision of green pastures and still waters, his guidance through dark valleys, and his comforting presence, and concludes by affirming his confidence in the Lord’s goodness and mercy throughout his life.
• Second Reading – Ephesians 5:8-14: Believers should live as children of light, putting aside the works of darkness and walking in the ways of righteousness. The passage emphasizes the importance of exposing and reproving evil deeds, and notes that everything that is exposed by the light becomes visible and that Christ will shine on those who follow him.
• Gospel – John 9:1-41: Jesus heals a man who was born blind, but the Pharisees are skeptical and investigate the miracle. They interrogate the man and his parents, and ultimately cast the man out for declaring his belief in Jesus as the Son of God.

1st Sunday of Lent - Year A - February 22, 2026

 The 1st Sunday of Lent Year A invites reflection on human weakness and God’s saving grace. It shows the struggle with temptation and the hope of new life through Jesus.

• Temptation and Choice: Temptation is a test of loyalty to God. In Eden, Adam and Eve failed, but Jesus stood firm in the desert.
• Obedience vs. Disobedience: Adam’s disobedience brought sin, while Jesus’ obedience brings life. This contrast shows the impact of our choices.
• Sin and Its Consequences: Sin brings shame and separation from God, as seen with Adam and Eve. But through Jesus, there is hope for reconciliation.
• Grace and Redemption: Through Jesus’ sacrifice, grace overcomes sin. This offers a path to righteousness for all who believe.
• Scripture as Strength: Jesus used Scripture to resist temptation. This shows the power of God’s Word in facing challenges.
• Victory Over Evil: Jesus defeated the devil’s temptations. This victory gives confidence that evil can be overcome.

The 1st Sunday of Lent Year A highlights the human struggle with sin and the hope found in Jesus. It encourages trust in God’s mercy and strength to resist temptation.

Epiphany of the Lord - Year A - January 4, 2026

Wala bang pahabol na pamasko dyan? Happy Epiphany po sa lahat. By the way, sa nagrequest po ng advance line-up sorry po, we cannot do that as you know wala na po kaming sariling gadget after Tino hit our place. As of now sa café, minsan nanghihiram lang kami ng gadget to update. You can search of old post from old admins sa blog na ito makikita naman yan sa right corner ng post na ito. You can search 2023 post if you want advance line-up.

Epiphany is celebrated on the Sunday between January 2 and January 8. The feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord commemorates when Jesus Christ was revealed as the Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew recounts that three wise men from the East visited our savior after his birth and acknowledged him with gifts representing kingship, priesthood, and death.

The Feast of the Epiphany highlights key themes in the story of Jesus and the visit of the Magi. These themes help us understand the importance of Jesus’ birth and His mission for all people.

• Jesus as Light: Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness. He guides all people to God.
• Universal Mission: Jesus came for all nations and people. His salvation is not limited to one group.
• Fulfillment of Prophecy: Isaiah’s prophecy about light and gifts is fulfilled in Jesus. The gifts of the Magi show this connection.
• Humility and Kingship: Jesus is a humble king. He shows true power through love and gentleness.
• Inclusiveness: Paul teaches that both Jews and Gentiles share in Jesus’ promises. The Epiphany shows that everyone is included in God’s plan.
• Guidance of the Star: The star leads the Magi to Jesus. This shows God’s guidance to all who seek Him.
• Gift-Giving: The Magi bring gifts to honor Jesus. This shows recognition of His kingship and divinity.
• Contrast with Herod: Herod’s fear and violence contrast with Jesus’ humble birth. This shows the difference between earthly and heavenly kingship.

These themes remind us of the rich meaning of the Feast of the Epiphany. They invite us to reflect on Jesus’ mission and our role in spreading His light.

Following the star, the magi reached Jesus, worshiping Him and offering gifts. They returned home by another way, divinely warned to avoid Herod.

3rd Sunday of Advent - Year A - December 14, 2025

 Thank you for the love and support. Namamasko po. Pandagdag ipon to buy a new gadget. Nalunod kasi sa baha last Bagyong Tino. AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LINE-UP, I WILL PROVIDE THE LINKS FOR SIMBANG GABI AND MISA DE GALLO SUGGESTED SONGS.
Gaudete Sunday, the 3rd Sunday of Advent Year A, is a time of joyful anticipation. The readings focus on hope, patience, and recognizing God’s presence among us.

• Joy in God’s Promise: The readings show that God’s promise brings joy. Isaiah speaks of the desert blooming, and Jesus points to His works as signs of God’s presence.

• Patience in Waiting: James calls for patience as we wait for the Lord. Like a farmer waiting for crops, we must trust that God’s timing is perfect.

• Hope for Healing: Isaiah promises healing for the blind, the deaf, and the lame. Jesus’ miracles in the Gospel show that He fulfills this promise.

• The Lord is Near: The nearness of God brings hope. Jesus reminds John’s disciples that He is the one they are waiting for.

• Signs of the Messiah: Jesus points to His works as signs of the Messiah. The miracles He performs fulfill the prophecies in Isaiah.

• Encouragement in Trials: James encourages us to stay strong through challenges. Like the prophets, we are called to endure with hope and patience.

Gaudete Sunday reminds us that our waiting is filled with joy and hope. As we prepare for Christ’s coming, we trust in God’s promises and His perfect timing.
 
ENTRANCE:
1.       Ayaw Paglangan Ginoo - swak for the theme since we're still waiting for HIS coming
2.       Umanhi Ka, Ayaw Paglangan - can be found in Ad-5 in old Cebuano Songbook or page 170 in GKK Songbook.
3.       Balang Araw ( Borres, Francisco ) this is only a suggestion. Try to change the " Narito na ang Manunubos, Luwalhatiin ang Dios" into " Darating na ang Manunubos, luwalhatiin ang Dios."
4.       Ang Puso Ko’y Nagpupuri (“Nagagalak ang aking Espiritu”) Clear this first. I do not believe this is an exclusively Marian song. It’s also about rejoicing.
5.        Purihi’t Pasalamatan (Esteban & Hontiveros) “sa masyang awit”
6.       Save us O Lord (Dufford) I acknowledge this is Lenten, pero yung message niya okay na okay kay kumpareng John the Baptist.
7.       Play Before the Lord (Dufford) “Stand among His people here, telling of all His ways” can be interpreted to be so St. John the Baptist
8.       I Rejoiced (Foley)
 
For Advent, there should no Gloria. Omit Gloria except for the mass at dawn.
 
READINGS:

• First Reading – Isaiah 35:1-6A, 10: The desert will bloom and rejoice. God will strengthen the weak and bring justice. The blind will see, the deaf will hear, and the saved will enter Zion with joy.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 146:  Lord, come and save us/ Alleluia

• The Lord is faithful, brings justice, feeds the hungry, frees captives, and gives sight to the blind. He supports the fatherless and widows, and reigns forever.

• Second Reading – James 5:7-10: Be patient for the Lord’s coming, like a farmer waiting for crops. Strengthen your hearts, avoid complaining, and follow the example of patient prophets.

• Gospel – Matthew 11:2-11: John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the one to come. Jesus affirmed his works. He praised John as the greatest prophet, yet less than the least in heaven.

 

OFFERTORY:
1.       Andama ang Dalan
2.       Nagahalad Kami
3.       Diyutay Lang Kini
4.       Ang Tanging Alay Ko
Prioritize Stanza 3. One reinforces the more common message of Advent even more when in Stanza 3 this is sung: “Aking hinihintay ang ‘Yong pagdarating, Jesus” rather than “pagbabalik, Jesus.” Nevertheless, pagbabalik can certainly remain, as again this season also has an eschatological
notion.
5.       Panalangin sa Pagiging Bukas Palad (Arboleda & Francisco)
6.       Panalangin Maging Bukas Palad (Rodrigo & Ramirez)
7.       Prayer for Generosity (Arboleda) “To give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the
wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor and ask not for reward” is so John the Baptist.
8.       Dwelling Place (“May Christ find a dwelling place in our hearts”) (Foley)
 
COMMUNION:
1.          Andama ang Dalan (Ad-2)
2.          Panahon Na (F-14)
3.          Awit ng Paghahangad (Cenzon) “Magagalak na aawit”
4.          Liwanag ng Aming Puso: Lentish but (“...sa amin manahan Ka...”)
5.          Pananatili (“yayakapain ang landasin...Mo” is again terno sa G No. 3)
6.          Empty Space (Foley) “So You may one day see my face” pero some consider this for the Sacred Heart mas apt. Bagaman mas nauugnay ito sa Kabanal-banalang Puso, this is taking it one step further: If we are anticipative and waiting so much, we might as well wait for the right One. Besides, this song could even help in increasing the longing. My own opinion lang ang last sentence; I’d love it if you’d
disagree para natu3 tayo lahat thru exchange of reasonable reasons. Ang panget ng English ko, but
you get what I mean.
7. In Him Alone
8. God of Silence (Francisco)
9. Holy Darkness “As we await You” pero some consider this for the Easter Vigil mas apt.
11. One Thing I Ask (Tirol)
12. This Alone (Manion)
13. One More Gift (Francisco)
14. Prayer of Saint Francis (Temple)
 
    RECESSIONAL:
1.       Umanhi Ka Mesiyas (Ad-3)
2.       Ang Tawag sa Panahon
3.       Tanda ng Kaharian ng Diyos (Morano & Francisco)
4.       Awit ng Pasasalamat (Hontiveros) “Tayo’y magagalak”
5.       A Time Will Come for Singing (Schutte)
6.       Wait for the Lord
7.       Life Forever More (Ellerton & Francisco)
8.       The Lord is my Light. Prioritize Stanza 2: “Your face, Lord, I seek.”
