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)

3.       Tanda ng Kaharian ng Diyos (Morano & Francisco)
4.       Awit ng Pasasalamat (Hontiveros) “Tayo’y magagalak”
5.       A Time Will Come for Singing (Schutte)

2nd Sunday of Advent - Year A - December 7, 2025

 Thank you for your support.

 

The 2nd Sunday of Advent Year C calls us to prepare for the coming of the Lord. The readings guide us to reflect on God’s promises and our own spiritual readiness.

• Preparation for the Lord: John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus. We are called to make our hearts ready for Christ’s coming.
• God’s Promise of Salvation: Baruch speaks of God bringing His people back to Him. This reminds us that God always keeps His promises of salvation.
• Call to Repentance: John the Baptist calls people to repent and be baptized. Repentance helps us clear the way for Jesus in our lives.
• Joyful Expectation: Paul expresses joy in the Philippians’ faith and growth. Advent is a time of joyful waiting for Jesus.
• Unity in Christ: Paul prays for the Philippians to grow in love and knowledge. We are encouraged to grow together in faith and love.
• God’s Guidance: Baruch speaks of God leading His people with joy. God’s guidance is with us as we journey in faith.

These themes help us focus on the true meaning of Advent. As we prepare for Christmas, we are reminded of God’s love and our need for spiritual readiness.

 

ENTRANCE:
1. Ayaw Paglangan Ginoo
2. Andama Ang Dalan
3. Bayan magsiawit na (Song #33)
Advent is about, among others, anticipation for Christ’s coming. Naturally being repetitive, this song’s refrain would have an adventish touch and begin very strongly that mission to arouse the congregation’s anticipation for the coming JC when one sings: “Dakilang biyayang pangako Niya sisilay na” rather than “sumilay” na. Kung baga ang lakas ng pasok/dating nito. Parang the film outfit would be creating a teaser dahel may ilo-launch na big budget film! Most sincere apologies po to Father Arnel if binastardo ko yung song niya.
4. Halina, Jesus, aming Mananakop (Isidro, Que)
5. Dinggin Mo (Esteban, Hontiveros) "Ama nami't Panginoon" is so 1R.
6. Seek the Lord (especially Stanza 1) (Song #289)
Advent is not only about anticipation for the Christ’s first coming. It is also about preparedness for the Second Coming. (Traces of 32nd and 33rd Sundays in Ordinary Time.)
7. Blest be the Lord (Schutte)
8. All the Ends of the Earth (Dufford)
 
For Advent, there should no Gloria. Omit Gloria except for the mass at dawn.

 

READINGS:

• First Reading – Baruch 5:1-9: Jerusalem, take off your mourning and wear God’s eternal glory. God will reveal your splendor to the world, gather your children, and lead Israel with joy, mercy, and justice.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 126; Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.
• When the Lord restored Zion, we were overjoyed. Nations acknowledged God’s great deeds for us. We pray for renewed fortunes and rejoice, knowing that sorrow will turn to joy.
• Second Reading – Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11: I joyfully pray for you, confident that God will complete His work in you. I pray your love grows in knowledge, so you can discern what is best and be righteous in Christ.
• Gospel – Luke 3:1-6: During Tiberius Caesar’s reign, God’s word came to John in the desert. He preached repentance and forgiveness, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy to prepare the way for the Lord and reveal God’s salvation.

 

OFFERTORY:
1.            Gasa sa Gugma (Koro Viannista) good choice
2.            Daygon Ikaw, Ginoong Dios
3.            Gasa Namo Kanimo
4.            Pag-aalay ng Puso (Minsan Lamang) (Nemy & Que) as advent (at least the earlier part) has an eschatological notion. Traces of 32nd and 33rd Sundays in Ordinary Time yata ito.
5.            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.
6.            Unang Alay (best choice) We can instantly make this song have an Adventish notion: The last line originally runs: “...Ngayo’y nananalig, nagmamahal sa ‘Yo.” Sing instead, “Ngayo’y umaasa, naghihintay sa ‘Yo.” You then reinforce the message re: anticipation.
Now if your choir sings the Koda, you deliver one solid message if you sing: “Ngayo’y nananalig (umaawit), dumudulog (sumasamba), umaasa (naghihintay) sa ‘Yo.”
I will be so excommunicated by Fr. Rey Magnaye.

7.            Prayer for Generosity (Arboleda)
8.            Take our Bread (Wise)
9.            To Be Your Bread (Haas)
 
COMMUNION:
1.      Panahon na Karon sa Pagbag-o, literally Christians repent during Advent and Lent season. So this is a good choice
2.      O Dios, Ikaw Haduol
3.      Andani, Pag-andam sa Ani, the main keyword is Pag-andam. For his coming we should prepare.
4.      Ginoo, Sayud Ka sa Tanan (Ad-7)
5.      Awit ng Paghahangad (Cenzon) Our response to be watchful: Ika’y pagmamasdan sa dakong banal, nang Makita ko ang ‘Yong pagkarangal.
6.      Awit ng Paghilom (Aquino). “Hanap-hanap Ka ng puso”
7.      Hesus na Aking Kapatid (Hontiveros) Focus on “Tulutan Mo aking mata” Lentish admittedly though.

10.  Pagsibol (Aquino)

13.  Patience People (Foley)
14.  The Face of God (Francisco)
15.  God of Silence (Francisco)
16.  Holy Darkness “As we await You” pero some consider this for the Easter Vigil mas apt.
17.  Hosea (Norbet) Lentish mas kilala, pero if you consider its links to eschatology...
18.  Love is the answer (Hannisian)
19.  One Thing I Ask (Tirol)
20.  This Alone (Manion)
21.  We Remember (Haugen)
 
RECESSIONAL:
1.      Pagpangatagak na Yamog
2.      Balang Araw
Suggestion ko lang ‘toh; anyone can very well disagree: consider changing yung ‘Narito na’ng Manunubos, luwalhatiin ang Diyos!’ into ‘Darating na’ng Manunubos, luwalhatiin ang Diyos!’ I just think it will be more faithful to the chronology, na for this season of advent, we should all help build up the anticipation for His coming. Technically Christ already came 2000 years ago, but we do have a liturgical year—every year and time, events that happened 2000 years ago are ever more renewed and ever more recalled to mind, and akma yung message mo when you hit the right pamanahon ng pandiwa (tenses of verbs).
3.      Tanda ng Kaharian ng Diyos (Morano & Francisco)
4.      Any Marian Song (kasi Nov 27 is Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal)
5.    A Time Will Come for Singing (Schutte)
6.    Wait for the Lord
7.    Life Forever More (Ellerton & Francisco)

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - October 26, 2025

The readings for 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focus on God’s mercy for the poor and the humble. In the first reading we are told that God hears those who cry out in pain. And the psalm echoes this sentiment. In the second reading Paul speaks of feeling deserted by all those around him, but the Lord stood by him. In the gospel Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

The themes for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C bring important lessons for our lives. They help us understand how to approach God and live faithfully.

• God Hears the Humble: God listens closely to those who are humble and oppressed. In the first reading, we learn that God does not ignore their pleas; instead, He ensures justice for them.
• Value of Humility: Humility is key to being right with God. The Gospel shows that self-righteousness is not the way to God’s heart, but humility and repentance are.
• Faithfulness Rewarded: Staying true to God’s way leads to eternal rewards. In the second reading, even though others abandoned him, Paul is confident that God will bring him safely into His kingdom because of his faithfulness.
• Strength in Trials: God provides strength in difficult times. Paul speaks about being deserted by friends but supported by the Lord, highlighting that God helps us through our trials.
• Prayer from the Heart: Sincere prayer is more valued by God than boastful displays. The Gospel contrasts the prayers of two men, teaching us that a simple, heartfelt prayer is better than one filled with self-praise.

These themes for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C guide us on how to approach our relationship with God and with others. They encourage us to be humble, sincere, and steadfast in our faith.

• Role of Scripture: Paul in 2 Timothy speaks about the importance of scripture in teaching and guiding believers. This reminds us of the value of the Bible in our daily lives and decision-making.
• Power of Intercession: The scene in Exodus, where Moses prays with uplifted hands, illustrates the power of intercessory prayer. It shows how praying for others can bring about God’s help and support.

The readings for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C remind us to be steadfast in our faith and persistent in prayer. They encourage us to trust in God’s timing and the strength found in community and scripture.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - October 12, 2025

 The readings for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C talk about healing, faith, and gratitude. They show how people respond to God’s help and how faith brings wholeness.

• Healing comes from God: Naaman is healed of leprosy after following God’s instruction. Jesus heals ten lepers, showing that God brings both physical and spiritual healing.
• Faith leads to healing: Naaman at first doubts but then obeys and is healed. The Samaritan leper trusts Jesus, returns to give thanks, and is told his faith has saved him.
• Gratitude is important: Naaman returns to thank Elisha after being healed. Only one of the ten lepers thanks Jesus, showing that many forget to be grateful.
• God’s mercy is for all: Naaman is not an Israelite, but God still heals him. The one grateful leper is a Samaritan, showing that God’s love is for everyone.
• Hardship and faith: Paul suffers for preaching about Jesus, but he stays faithful. He reminds others that suffering for Christ leads to glory with him.
• Jesus is always faithful: Paul says that even when people fail, Jesus remains true. Jesus heals even those who do not return to thank him.

The readings for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C teach about faith and gratitude. They remind people to trust in God and to give thanks for his blessings.

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.
