26th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - September 29, 2024

 On the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, the readings highlight important lessons about community, wealth, and moral conduct. We see how God’s spirit works in unexpected ways and how serious the call to righteousness is.

• God’s Spirit is Free: In Numbers, God’s spirit rests on two men who were not in the meeting. This shows that God can choose anyone to share His message.
• Warning Against Wealth: James warns the rich about the misuse of wealth. Wealth should be used to help others, not just for personal gain.
• Inclusive Ministry: In the Gospel, Jesus says anyone who does good in His name is part of His mission. This teaches us to be open and inclusive.
• Avoiding Sin: Jesus warns about the seriousness of sin. He uses strong language to show how important it is to avoid sin at all costs.
• Helping the Needy: James speaks against those who hoard wealth while others suffer. Helping those in need is a key part of living our faith.
• Recognizing Others’ Good Works: The disciples try to stop someone casting out demons in Jesus’ name. Jesus teaches them to recognize and support good works done by others.

These themes for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B remind us to be open to God’s spirit in unexpected ways and to live justly. They call us to avoid sin, help others, and recognize good works.

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year 2 Cycle C - September 4, 2022

We are very sorry for the past weeks we are not able to update the blog because of some circumstances. We are busy also of enrolment as well as our part-time jobs and we have a very tight allowance that we cannot even afford to buy load for internet as we can still send messages and use facebook through free data. Again, sorry. Please don’t forget to click our ads as your support and help to us to increase our site traffic. Thank you.

The readings for 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C help us think about what we truly desire. In the first reading tells us we cannot understand the mind of God. The psalm declares that God is our only hope. In the second reading tells us that even in the worst of situations we can find hope in God. In the gospel Jesus tells us we must be willing to give up all we love to follow him.

Entrance:
1.    Mao Kini ang Panaghinigugmaay
2.    Pag-inambitay
3.    Mag-ambahan Kita
4.    Bayan, Umaawit
5.    Pagmamahal sa Panginoon
6.    City of God
7.    Glory and Praise to Our God
8.    Happy are the Ones
9.    Blest be the Lord
 
First Reading                                                 Wis 9:13-18b
 Who can know God’s counsel,
 or who can conceive what the LORD intends?
 For the deliberations of mortals are timid,
 and unsure are our plans.
 For the corruptible body burdens the soul
 and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns.
 And scarce do we guess the things on earth,
 and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty;
 but when things are in heaven, who can search them out?
 Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given wisdom
 and sent your holy spirit from on high?
 And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight.
 
Responsorial Psalm                         Ps 90:3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 14 and 17
R. (1) In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You turn man back to dust,
saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight
 are as yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a watch of the night.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You make an end of them in their sleep;
 the next morning they are like the changing grass,
Which at dawn springs up anew,
 but by evening wilts and fades.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Teach us to number our days aright,
 that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
 that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours;
 prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands!
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
 
Reading 2                                           Phmn 9-10, 12-17
I, Paul, an old man,
and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,
urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus,
whose father I have become in my imprisonment;
I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you.
I should have liked to retain him for myself,
so that he might serve me on your behalf
in my imprisonment for the gospel,
but I did not want to do anything without your consent,
so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary.
Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while,
that you might have him back forever,
no longer as a slave
but more than a slave, a brother,
beloved especially to me, but even more so to you,
as a man and in the Lord.
So if you regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me.
 
Alleluia                                                           Ps 119:135
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Let your face shine upon your servant;
and teach me your laws.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel                                                            Lk 14:25-33
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
and he turned and addressed them,
“If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.

Which of you wishing to construct a tower
does not first sit down and calculate the cost
to see if there is enough for its completion?
Otherwise, after laying the foundation
and finding himself unable to finish the work
the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’
Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
and decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king
advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
But if not, while he is still far away,
he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
In the same way,
anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple.”

13th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year 2 Cycle C - June 26, 2022

Thank you for your support our dear brothers and sister. Please continue clicking the ads on the right side of this blog post for us to survive doing this blog weekly. Thank you…

The readings for the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to be committed disciples. In the first reading Elisha decides to follow Elijah. In the second reading Paul tells us we must stand firm. In the gospel, we learn that discipleship will bring many hardships.

Entrance:
1.     Diha sa Halaran
2.     Awit mga Binuhat
3.     Purihin ang Panginoon (Isidro, Ramirez)
4.     Sa Dios Lamang Mapapanatag (Isidro, Que)
5.     Praise God (Dufford, Foley)
6.     Come with Praise (Schutte)

 
First Reading       1 Kgs 19:16b, 19-21
The LORD said to Elijah:
“You shall anoint Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah,
as prophet to succeed you.”
 
Elijah set out and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat,
as he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen;
he was following the twelfth.
Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him.
Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said,
“Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,
and I will follow you.”
Elijah answered, “Go back!
Have I done anything to you?”
Elisha left him, and taking the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them;
he used the plowing equipment for fuel to boil their flesh,
and gave it to his people to eat.
Then Elisha left and followed Elijah as his attendant.
 
Responsorial Psalm  Ps 16:1-2, 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11
R (cf. 5a) You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
            I say to the LORD, “My Lord are you.
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
            you it is who hold fast my lot.”
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
I bless the LORD who counsels me;
            even in the night my heart exhorts me.
I set the LORD ever before me;
            with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
            my body, too, abides in confidence
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
            nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
You will show me the path to life,
            fullness of joys in your presence,
            the delights at your right hand forever.
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
 
Second Reading   Gal 5:1, 13-18
Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ set us free;
so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
 
For you were called for freedom, brothers and sisters.
But do not use this freedom
as an opportunity for the flesh;
rather, serve one another through love.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement,
namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
But if you go on biting and devouring one another,
beware that you are not consumed by one another.
 
I say, then: live by the Spirit
and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
For the flesh has desires against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh;
these are opposed to each other,
so that you may not do what you want.
But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
 
Alleluia     1 Sm 3:9; Jn 6:68c
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Speak, Lord, your servant is listening;
you have the words of everlasting life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel Lk 9:51-62
When the days for Jesus’ being taken up were fulfilled,
he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem,
and he sent messengers ahead of him.
On the way they entered a Samaritan village
to prepare for his reception there,
but they would not welcome him
because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem.
When the disciples James and John saw this they asked,
“Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven
to consume them?”
Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.
 

As they were proceeding on their journey someone said to him,
“I will follow you wherever you go.”
Jesus answered him,
“Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.”
 
And to another he said, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.”
But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead.
But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
And another said, “I will follow you, Lord,
but first let me say farewell to my family at home.”
To him Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plow
and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.”
