26th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - September 27, 2026

 Maraming salamat po sa inyong pagbisita.

The 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A teaches about fairness, obedience, and humility. The readings show that God is just, repentance leads to life, and actions speak louder than words.

• God’s justice is fair: Some people think God’s ways are unfair, but He judges with truth. If someone turns away from good, they face consequences, but if they turn back to good, they are saved.
• Repentance leads to life: A person who sins can still change. God does not hold the past against those who truly repent.
• Actions matter more than words: In the Gospel, the son who obeys in the end is the one who does right. Saying yes to God means nothing without real obedience.
• Humility brings honor: Jesus humbled Himself completely, and God raised Him up. True greatness comes from serving others.
• Obedience shows true belief: Those who truly believe in God follow His ways. The tax collectors and sinners changed their lives, showing real faith.
• Unity in Christ: Paul calls for unity among believers. When people put others first, they live as Jesus taught.

The 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds people to follow God with true obedience. It shows that real faith is not just words but actions. (Source: https://young-catholics.com/2935/26th-sunday-in-ordinary-time-year-a/)

READINGS:

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 25:  Remember your mercies, O Lord.

The psalmist seeks God’s guidance and asks for instruction in truth. Remembering God’s compassion, the psalmist asks for mercy and guidance. The Lord, good and just, leads sinners and the humble in righteousness.

• Second reading – Philippians 2:1-11: Encouraged by Christ’s love, unity, and compassion, we’re urged to be of one mind, considering others above ourselves. Christ’s selflessness and humility serve as an example, leading to exaltation and acknowledgment of His lordship.

• Gospel – Matthew 21:28-32: Jesus presents a parable of two sons asked to work in a vineyard. One initially refuses but later obeys, while the other agrees but doesn’t go. The lesson highlights that actions, not words, reveal true obedience and righteousness, and tax collectors and prostitutes enter God’s kingdom due to genuine belief.

 Salamat po sa suporta at pagdalaw.

The readings for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A show that God welcomes all who follow Him. They also teach about faith, mercy, and perseverance.

• God welcomes all people: Isaiah speaks of foreigners being accepted if they follow God’s ways. Jesus helps a Gentile woman, showing that God’s love is for everyone.

• God’s mercy is for all: Paul explains that God’s mercy is not just for one group. He shows kindness to everyone, even when they fail.
• Persistence in prayer: The woman keeps asking Jesus for help. Her persistence shows the power of not giving up in prayer.
• Obedience to God matters: Isaiah says those who keep God’s covenant will be accepted. Following God’s ways leads to blessings.

5th Sunday of Lent - Year A - March 22, 2026

 The 5th Sunday of Lent Year A invites us to reflect on life, resurrection, and faith in God’s power. The readings remind us of God’s promise to bring new life and His power over death.

• Resurrection and New Life: God promises to raise His people from their graves and give them new life. Jesus fulfills this by raising Lazarus, showing His power over death and pointing to His own resurrection.

• Power of the Spirit: The Spirit of God brings life and renewal. The second reading reminds us that the same Spirit that raised Jesus will give life to our mortal bodies.

• Faith and Trust in Jesus: Martha shows faith in Jesus even in her grief. Jesus calls her and all believers to trust in Him as the resurrection and the life.

• God’s Glory Revealed: Jesus explains that Lazarus’s death will glorify God. The miracle strengthens the faith of those who witness it, showing Jesus’ identity as the Son of God.

• Hope Beyond Death: The readings remind us that death is not the end. God’s promise of resurrection gives hope and calls us to live with faith and courage.

• Jesus’ Compassion and Humanity: Jesus is deeply moved by the grief of Mary and Martha. His tears show His compassion and His sharing in human suffering.

The 5th Sunday of Lent Year A challenges us to believe in Jesus as the source of life and hope. It invites us to trust in God’s promise of resurrection and live in faith.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 130: With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption.
• From the depths, I cry to the Lord for mercy. If He counted sins, none could stand, but with Him, there is forgiveness, redemption, and steadfast love.
• Second Reading – Romans 8:8-11: Living by human nature cannot please God. True life is in the Spirit, evident if Christ’s Spirit dwells in us. This Spirit brings life to our mortal bodies, just as it raised Christ.
• Gospel – John 11:1-45: Lazarus from Bethany, brother of Mary and Martha, fell ill. Despite their message to Jesus, He delayed His visit, explaining the situation was to glorify God.

Deeply moved and troubled by the mourning, Jesus wept, then miraculously raised Lazarus from the dead, strengthening the faith of many onlookers.

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.
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.
8.      Liwanag ng Aming Puso: Lentish but (“...sa amin manahan Ka...”)
9.      O Diyos, Iniibig Kita (Rodrigo & Hontiveros)
10.  Pagsibol (Aquino)
11.  Panginoon Aking Tanglaw (Ramirez)
12.  Sa Dapit Hapon (Tabuena & Hontiveros) Sing stanza 1 repeatedly.
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)

Solemnity of Christ the King - Year C - November 23, 2025

 Sorry at late uli. Wala na kasi kaming gadget na magagamit at nakikigamit lang.

The Solemnity of Christ the King Year C reminds us that Jesus is our true King. His kingdom is different from earthly kingdoms because it is built on love, mercy, and sacrifice.

• Jesus as King: Jesus is not a king who rules with power and force. He leads with love, humility, and service.

• God’s Kingdom is Eternal: Earthly rulers come and go, but Jesus’ kingdom will never end. His rule is one of peace and justice.

• Salvation Through Jesus: The second reading reminds us that Jesus rescues us from sin. He brings us into his kingdom and makes us part of his family.

• Mercy and Forgiveness: Jesus forgives the criminal on the cross. His kingdom is open to all who turn to him with faith.

• Humility and Suffering: Jesus does not save himself from the cross. His suffering shows that true kingship is about sacrifice, not power.

• Faith in Jesus: The good thief believed in Jesus even when others mocked him. His faith brought him the promise of eternal life.

The Solemnity of Christ the King Year C reminds us that Jesus is a different kind of king. He rules with love, mercy, and justice, and his kingdom will never end.

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - September 21, 2025

 The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C calls us to reflect on our use of worldly resources and our responsibilities to others. The readings challenge us to live with honesty, justice, and faithfulness to God above all else.

• Justice for the poor: The first reading reminds us that God cares about the poor and condemns cheating and exploitation. We are called to treat others with fairness and care for those in need.
• Honesty in daily life: The Gospel warns against dishonesty and urges us to act with integrity. God sees how we handle small things, and our choices reveal our loyalty to Him.
• Prioritizing God over wealth: Jesus teaches that we cannot serve both God and money. We must decide where our true allegiance lies and choose what leads to eternal life.
• Prayer for all people: The second reading encourages us to pray for everyone, including leaders and those in authority. This reminds us that peace and order come from God’s guidance and our prayers.
• Responsible use of resources: The Gospel challenges us to use our talents and possessions wisely for God’s kingdom. Earthly goods are tools for doing good and helping others.
• Faithful service to God: Jesus calls us to be faithful in our responsibilities. By serving God with sincerity, we show our love and trust in Him.

The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C helps us reflect on our values and choices. It challenges us to live with faith, integrity, and care for others in all that we do.

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.

These themes from the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to live with purpose and hope in God. They remind us that true happiness and peace come from placing our lives in God’s hands.
