24th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - September 13, 2026

Sorry if hindi kami nakapag-post last week at nagkaproblema lang.

The 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A focuses on mercy, forgiveness, and belonging to God. The readings show that God calls people to forgive others, just as He forgives them.

·       Forgiving Others: The Gospel teaches that people must forgive, just as God forgives them. Holding onto anger leads to judgment, but mercy brings peace.

·       God’s Mercy: The master in the parable shows great mercy to his servant. This reminds people that God forgives them even when they do not deserve it.

·       Hypocrisy in Unforgiveness: The servant who was forgiven a great debt refused to forgive a smaller one. This warns that people should not expect mercy from God if they do not show mercy to others.

·       Belonging to the Lord: The second reading says that whether people live or die, they belong to God. Their lives should reflect His love and mercy.

·       Letting Go of Anger: The first reading warns against wrath and hatred. People should remember that life is short and focus on love and forgiveness.

·       God’s Judgment: The Gospel shows that God expects people to forgive. Those who refuse to forgive will face consequences.

Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is necessary. The readings for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A remind people that God forgives them, so they must also forgive others.

Entrance:
1.      Pag-inambitay (swak sa gospel ilabina ang koro part)
2.      Pag-aalaala (Francisco) “inalipin” and “mahabagin” are so G.
3.      Hosea (Norbet)
 

• First Reading – Sirach 27:30—28:7: Wrath and anger are condemned, while forgiveness of others is commended. Remember mortality and God’s commandments, setting aside enmity and overlooking faults.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 103: The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion.

• Bless the Lord for his kindness and mercy. He pardons iniquities, heals ills, and redeems lives. His compassion is vast, putting transgressions far away from those who fear him.

• Second Reading – Romans 14:7-9: Whether living or dying, we belong to the Lord. Christ’s death and resurrection affirm that he is Lord of both the living and the dead, and our lives should reflect that.

• Gospel – Matthew 18:21-35: Jesus teaches about forgiveness using a parable of a servant forgiven a huge debt but who then refuses to forgive a smaller debt. The master, angry at this hypocrisy, punishes him. Jesus warns that we must forgive others wholeheartedly.

3rd Sunday of Lent - Year A - March 8, 2026

 The 3rd Sunday of Lent in Year A focuses on themes of faith, conversion, and God’s desire to fill us with new life. The readings show us God’s response to human needs and how He calls us to turn to Him with open hearts.

• Spiritual Thirst: The Israelites thirsted in the desert, and the woman at the well thirsted for something deeper in life. God wants to satisfy our thirst for meaning and truth.

• God’s Faithfulness: God provides water to the Israelites in the desert and offers living water through Jesus to the Samaritan woman. These stories remind us that God is always faithful, even when we struggle to trust Him.

• Repentance and Conversion: The Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus changes her life. Lent is a time to repent and let God transform us just as He transformed her.

• God’s Love for Sinners: Jesus meets the Samaritan woman where she is, despite her sins and past. God does not turn away from us but invites us to receive His mercy.

• Jesus, the Living Water: Jesus speaks of the living water that brings eternal life. He alone can fulfill our deepest longings and give us life that never fades.

• Witness and Evangelization: After meeting Jesus, the Samaritan woman goes back to her town and shares her experience. Her witness shows us that sharing our faith can lead others to seek Jesus.

• Peace Through Reconciliation: St. Paul writes about the peace we have with God through Jesus. Lent calls us to seek this peace by being reconciled to God and others.

In Lent, the Church invites us to open our hearts to God’s love and mercy. The readings on the 3rd Sunday of Lent in Year A encourage us to deepen our faith and let God refresh our spirits.

Readings:

• First Reading – Exodus 17:3-7: The Israelites, thirsty and doubting God’s presence, quarrel with Moses. God instructs Moses to strike a rock at Horeb, miraculously providing water, and the place is named “Massah” and “Meribah.”

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 95:  If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

• Let us joyfully sing and worship the Lord, our creator and shepherd. I urge openness to His voice today, unlike our ancestors who hardened their hearts despite witnessing His works.

• Second Reading – Romans 5:1-2, 5-8: Through faith, we are made right with God, gaining peace and the hope of sharing His glory. God’s love, given through the Holy Spirit, affirms this hope, shown in Christ dying for us as sinners.

• Gospel – John 4:5-42: In Samaria, Jesus met a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. He asked her for water, leading to a conversation about “living water” offering eternal life. Jesus’s insight into her life convinced her of his prophetic nature. He revealed the future of worship transcending locations, focusing on Spirit and truth. Declaring himself the Messiah, his interaction led many Samaritans to believe in him as the Savior of the world.

2nd Sunday of Lent - Year A - March 1, 2026

Sorry at na-late uli sa pagpost, buti at may nagpahiram ng laptop.

The 2nd Sunday of Lent Year A focuses on trust in God and the call to follow Him. The readings show how God leads His people and gives them strength for the journey.

• God’s Call to Trust: God calls Abram to leave his home and go to a new land. This shows that faith means trusting God even when the future is unclear.
• Jesus Reveals His Glory: Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain and is transfigured before them. This moment shows that Jesus is more than a teacher—He is the Son of God.
• Strength in Suffering: Paul reminds Timothy to be strong in suffering for the Gospel. Following Jesus is not always easy, but God gives strength and grace.
• God’s Promise of Life: Paul speaks of God’s plan to bring life through Jesus. This reminds us that God’s call leads to true life, not just for now but forever.
• Listen to Jesus: At the Transfiguration, God tells the disciples to listen to His Son. This reminds us to follow Jesus and trust what He teaches.
• Faith Leads to Blessings: Abram obeys God and is blessed. Faith in God always leads to something greater, even when we do not see it right away.

The 2nd Sunday of Lent Year A invites us to trust God’s plan. The readings remind us that God leads, strengthens, and blesses those who follow Him.

• Second Reading – 2 Timothy 1:8b-10: Paul encourages Timothy to join in suffering for the gospel, reminding him that God has saved and called them to a holy life, not because of their own deeds, but because of God’s grace and purpose, which has now been revealed through Christ’s appearance and victory over death.

4th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - February 1, 2026

 The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A speaks about humility and trust in God. The readings show how God chooses the lowly and blesses those who follow His ways.

• Seeking humility and justice: Zephaniah calls people to be humble and do what is right. God cares for those who trust Him and live simply.
• God lifts up the lowly: Paul reminds the Corinthians that God often chooses those who seem weak or unimportant. This shows that human strength and status do not matter to God.
• Trusting in God’s wisdom: Paul says that God’s ways are different from human ways. Real wisdom comes from following Christ, not from human success.
• Blessings for the poor in spirit: In the Gospel, Jesus says that those who know they need God are blessed. They will receive the kingdom of heaven.
• Peace and mercy matter: Jesus blesses those who are peacemakers and show mercy. God’s children act with kindness and work for peace.
• Suffering for doing right: Jesus teaches that those who face trouble for following Him will be rewarded. God sees their struggles and will bless them.

The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds people to trust God and live simply. God blesses those who seek Him, show mercy, and stand firm in their faith.
