22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time - Year C - August 31, 2025

      On the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C, the readings teach us about humility and generosity. These lessons are shown through simple actions and attitudes.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul

 Saints Peter and Paul are two of the most important figures in the history of the Church. They were leaders who spread the message of Jesus and helped build the early Christian community. Both are remembered as apostles who gave their lives for their faith. The Church celebrates them together because of their deep connection in spreading the Gospel.

Peter was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus. He became the leader of the apostles and is known as the first Pope. Jesus called Peter “the rock” on which He would build His Church. Peter’s role was to guide and strengthen the early Christians.

Paul was not one of the twelve apostles, but he became an important leader. At first, Paul persecuted Christians, but he had a powerful experience of Jesus and became a believer. Paul traveled far and preached to people who had never heard about Jesus. He wrote letters that helped explain the teachings of the Church.

Peter and Paul both died in Rome as martyrs. They gave their lives to follow Jesus. The Church celebrates their feast day on June 29 to honor their work and their sacrifice. Their stories show the courage and faith that built the Church.

Readings:

• First Reading – Acts 12:1-11: Herod imprisoned Peter to appease the Jews. With the Church praying fervently for Peter, an angel appeared, shining light into his cell. Unchained, Peter followed the angel past guards, through self-opening gates, to freedom.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 34: Bless the Lord always, his praise fills my mouth. Join me in exalting His name. He answers, dispels fears, and fills us with joy. The Lord’s angel protects those who fear Him, blessing those who seek refuge.
• Second Reading – 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18: I, Paul, see my end near, but I’ve run my race well, keeping the faith. A crown of righteousness awaits me. The Lord gave me strength, protection, and will guide me to His heavenly Kingdom. Amen.
• Gospel – Matthew 16:13-19: Jesus asks His disciples about the people’s opinions regarding His identity. Simon Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus acknowledges Peter’s revelation, affirming that upon him, whom He calls Peter, He will build His Church, and the powers of death will not overcome it. Jesus entrusts Peter with the keys of the Kingdom, granting him authority to bind and loose matters on earth and in heaven.
