33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - November 16, 2025

 Please forgive us for not posting anything over the past two weeks. We were on academic break at that time, which meant no allowance. After that, Typhoons Tino and Uwan hit us, and we had no electricity in our area. We lost our phone too. We’re really sorry for that.

The 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C calls us to reflect on our actions and the end times. The readings remind us of the importance of staying faithful and diligent.

• Judgment Day: Malachi speaks of a fierce day when the arrogant and wicked will be punished. This day will bring justice and healing for those who honor God.
• Hard Work: In 2 Thessalonians, Paul emphasizes the value of hard work. He warns against idleness and encourages everyone to earn their keep.
• Future Trials: Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple and describes future hardships. He speaks of wars, disasters, and persecution that followers will face.
• Faithfulness in Persecution: Jesus promises to give wisdom to those who are persecuted for their faith. He assures them that they will be preserved if they endure these trials.
• Endurance: Endurance is highlighted in the Gospel as necessary for salvation. Those who stand firm in their faith will be saved.

The readings for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to remain faithful and diligent in our work and faith. They remind us that despite the trials we face, God’s justice and healing will prevail.

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - September 28, 2025

 The readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C call us to care about others. In the first reading we are warned against being complacent while others suffer. The psalm praises the justice of God. In the second reading Paul reminds us to pursue virtues. In the gospel Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, where a wealthy man ignored the needs of a poor man every day.
The readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focus on themes of wealth, responsibility, and the afterlife. They challenge us to reflect on our own lives in light of eternal values.

• Wealth and Complacency: The reading from Amos criticizes those who are comfortable and indifferent to the suffering around them. It shows that God sees and judges our indifference, especially when we ignore others’ needs while living in luxury.

• Moral Integrity: Paul urges Timothy to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. This theme tells us that living a good life involves more than avoiding bad actions; it also requires actively cultivating virtues.

• Eternal Consequences: The Gospel parable about Lazarus and the rich man illustrates that our actions have consequences beyond this life. It teaches us that how we treat others, especially those in need, influences our eternal destiny.

• The Role of Scripture: The rich man learns that Moses and the prophets’ teachings are enough to guide us to live rightly. This emphasizes the importance of paying attention to Scripture as a guide for our lives.

• Justice for the Poor: Both Amos and the Gospel highlight God’s concern for the poor and suffering. It reminds us that our faith calls us to help those who are less fortunate.

• Ultimate Authority of God: Paul describes God as the only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. This reaffirms that all power and authority ultimately belong to God, and we are to live in a way that honors Him.

These themes from the readings of the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C invite us to examine our lives and align our actions with God’s expectations. They call us to live not just for today, but with an eye toward eternity.

2.    Awit sa Pagdayeg
3.    Alay sa Kapwa
4.    Buklod ng Pag-ibig
5.    Come with Praise

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 146:  Praise the Lord, my soul!

• God brings justice, feeds the hungry, frees prisoners, heals the blind, and supports the downtrodden, orphan, and widow, reigning eternally over all generations.

• Second Reading – 1 Timothy 6:11-16: A man of God is urged to pursue virtues and hold onto eternal life, keeping commandments until Christ’s return, honoring the immortal, unseen Sovereign.

• Gospel – Luke 16:19-31: Jesus narrated a parable contrasting a rich man’s luxurious life with Lazarus, a destitute man. After death, Lazarus found comfort with Abraham, while the rich man suffered. The rich man’s plea for relief and a warning for his brothers was denied, emphasizing the sufficiency of Moses and the prophets’ teachings.

3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - March 23, 2025

 Pasensya na po at nahuli, nabusy lang po sa school.

The 3rd Sunday of Lent Year C helps us reflect on God’s call, repentance, and growth. The readings from Exodus, Corinthians, and Luke guide us to understand our faith journey better.

• God’s Call to Moses: In Exodus, God calls Moses from the burning bush. This shows that God reaches out to guide and lead His people.
• God’s Promise of Freedom: God promises to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This reminds us that God is always working to free us from our own sins and struggles.
• Warnings Against Idolatry: In Corinthians, Paul warns against idol worship and turning away from God. This teaches us to stay faithful and avoid things that take us away from God.
• Importance of Repentance: Jesus in Luke speaks about the need to repent. He warns that without repentance, we will perish, showing the importance of turning back to God.
• God’s Patience: The parable of the fig tree in Luke highlights God’s patience. He gives us time to change and grow in faith, but we must respond.
• Fruitfulness in Faith: The fig tree parable also teaches about bearing fruit. We are called to live fruitful lives, showing our faith through actions.
• God’s Presence in Hard Times: The readings remind us that God is with us in difficult times. Like He was with the Israelites, He supports and guides us through our challenges.
• Community and Accountability: Paul speaks to the Corinthians about learning from their ancestors’ mistakes. This shows the importance of community and holding each other accountable in our faith.

Reflecting on these themes during the 3rd Sunday of Lent Year C helps deepen our understanding of God’s presence and our need for repentance. The readings guide us to live more faithfully and trust in God’s promises.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 103: Remember the marvels the Lord has done.
• I praise the Lord for His kindness: forgiving sins, healing diseases, rescuing lives, and crowning with love. He is righteous, merciful, and gracious, with boundless mercy.
• Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12: Our forefathers, guided by a cloud and sea, were baptized into Moses, shared spiritual sustenance, and drank from Christ, the spiritual rock. Their failures in the wilderness warn us against evil cravings and complacency.
• Gospel – Luke 13:1-9: Jesus addressed the news of Galileans killed by Pilate, emphasizing that suffering isn’t directly linked to personal sinfulness.

 Thank you po sa mga naghintay. Pasensya na ulit at kung last week lang ulit kami nakabalik dahil nagkaproblema sa budget. Alam n’yo estudyante pa.
 
The 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focuses on themes of trust, resurrection, and true happiness. The readings highlight the importance of relying on God and the hope found in Jesus Christ’s resurrection.

• Trust in God: Jeremiah warns against trusting in human strength and calls for trust in God. True happiness comes from relying on God, not on ourselves.

• Blessings and Curses: Jeremiah speaks about the blessings for those who trust in God and the curses for those who trust in humans. These verses remind us to seek blessings through faith in God.

• Resurrection Hope: In 1 Corinthians, Paul defends the resurrection of Jesus. He explains that our faith depends on the truth of Jesus rising from the dead.

• Eternal Life: Paul emphasizes that without resurrection, our faith is useless. The resurrection gives us hope for eternal life with Jesus.

• True Happiness: In Luke, Jesus teaches about the blessings of the poor and hungry. He contrasts their future joy with the sorrow of the rich and satisfied.

• Warnings of Woe: Jesus warns those who are rich, full, and laughing now. Their comfort is temporary, and they need to seek true happiness in God.

The readings for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to trust in God and find hope in Jesus’ resurrection. They remind us that true happiness is found in faith and reliance on God, not in worldly things.

2.    Ang Tawag
(Before singing any Marian Song as recessional, ask the permission of your Parish Priest if ok lang ba to use it. However, it's important to note:

·       No Hard and Fast Rule: There's no official prohibition against singing Marian hymns during the recessional. The choice of music is often left to the discretion of the priest and the parish music director.
·       Honoring Mary: Singing Marian hymns is a way of honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is revered as the Mother of God in the Catholic Church. Her role in salvation history is significant, and many Catholics find solace and inspiration in her intercession.
 
Ultimately, the decision of what music to sing during the recessional is a matter of pastoral judgment and should be guided by a desire to enhance the liturgical celebration and promote the spiritual growth of the congregation.)
