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.

• Love and Kindness at Home: The second reading from Colossians calls for compassion, kindness, and patience within families. These virtues build harmony and reflect Christ’s love in daily life.
• Forgiveness and Peace: Families are encouraged to forgive one another and live in peace. This echoes the call to let Christ’s peace rule in hearts, fostering unity and understanding.
• Obedience and Guidance: Joseph’s obedience to God’s guidance in the Gospel shows the importance of trusting God’s plan for the family. His example of leadership and protection inspires responsible and loving parenthood.
• Faith and Trust in God: The Holy Family’s journey to Egypt demonstrates faith and trust in God’s protection during hardships. Families are reminded to rely on God during difficult times.
• Role of Parents and Children: The readings highlight the roles of parents as caregivers and teachers, and children as respectful and obedient. These roles support a nurturing and loving home environment.

The Feast of The Holy Family Year A invites reflection on the values that create strong and loving families. By looking to the Holy Family as a model, families can find guidance and inspiration to live in love, faith, and unity.

3rd Sunday of Advent - Year A - December 14, 2025

 Thank you for the love and support. Namamasko po. Pandagdag ipon to buy a new gadget. Nalunod kasi sa baha last Bagyong Tino. AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LINE-UP, I WILL PROVIDE THE LINKS FOR SIMBANG GABI AND MISA DE GALLO SUGGESTED SONGS.
Gaudete Sunday, the 3rd Sunday of Advent Year A, is a time of joyful anticipation. The readings focus on hope, patience, and recognizing God’s presence among us.

• Joy in God’s Promise: The readings show that God’s promise brings joy. Isaiah speaks of the desert blooming, and Jesus points to His works as signs of God’s presence.

• Patience in Waiting: James calls for patience as we wait for the Lord. Like a farmer waiting for crops, we must trust that God’s timing is perfect.

• Hope for Healing: Isaiah promises healing for the blind, the deaf, and the lame. Jesus’ miracles in the Gospel show that He fulfills this promise.

• The Lord is Near: The nearness of God brings hope. Jesus reminds John’s disciples that He is the one they are waiting for.

• Signs of the Messiah: Jesus points to His works as signs of the Messiah. The miracles He performs fulfill the prophecies in Isaiah.

• Encouragement in Trials: James encourages us to stay strong through challenges. Like the prophets, we are called to endure with hope and patience.

Gaudete Sunday reminds us that our waiting is filled with joy and hope. As we prepare for Christ’s coming, we trust in God’s promises and His perfect timing.
 
ENTRANCE:
1.       Ayaw Paglangan Ginoo - swak for the theme since we're still waiting for HIS coming
2.       Umanhi Ka, Ayaw Paglangan - can be found in Ad-5 in old Cebuano Songbook or page 170 in GKK Songbook.
3.       Balang Araw ( Borres, Francisco ) this is only a suggestion. Try to change the " Narito na ang Manunubos, Luwalhatiin ang Dios" into " Darating na ang Manunubos, luwalhatiin ang Dios."
4.       Ang Puso Ko’y Nagpupuri (“Nagagalak ang aking Espiritu”) Clear this first. I do not believe this is an exclusively Marian song. It’s also about rejoicing.
5.        Purihi’t Pasalamatan (Esteban & Hontiveros) “sa masyang awit”
6.       Save us O Lord (Dufford) I acknowledge this is Lenten, pero yung message niya okay na okay kay kumpareng John the Baptist.
7.       Play Before the Lord (Dufford) “Stand among His people here, telling of all His ways” can be interpreted to be so St. John the Baptist
8.       I Rejoiced (Foley)
 
For Advent, there should no Gloria. Omit Gloria except for the mass at dawn.
 
READINGS:

• First Reading – Isaiah 35:1-6A, 10: The desert will bloom and rejoice. God will strengthen the weak and bring justice. The blind will see, the deaf will hear, and the saved will enter Zion with joy.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 146:  Lord, come and save us/ Alleluia

• The Lord is faithful, brings justice, feeds the hungry, frees captives, and gives sight to the blind. He supports the fatherless and widows, and reigns forever.

• Second Reading – James 5:7-10: Be patient for the Lord’s coming, like a farmer waiting for crops. Strengthen your hearts, avoid complaining, and follow the example of patient prophets.

• Gospel – Matthew 11:2-11: John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the one to come. Jesus affirmed his works. He praised John as the greatest prophet, yet less than the least in heaven.

 

OFFERTORY:
1.       Andama ang Dalan
2.       Nagahalad Kami
3.       Diyutay Lang Kini
4.       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.
5.       Panalangin sa Pagiging Bukas Palad (Arboleda & Francisco)
6.       Panalangin Maging Bukas Palad (Rodrigo & Ramirez)
7.       Prayer for Generosity (Arboleda) “To give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the
wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor and ask not for reward” is so John the Baptist.
8.       Dwelling Place (“May Christ find a dwelling place in our hearts”) (Foley)
 
COMMUNION:
1.          Andama ang Dalan (Ad-2)
2.          Panahon Na (F-14)
3.          Awit ng Paghahangad (Cenzon) “Magagalak na aawit”
4.          Liwanag ng Aming Puso: Lentish but (“...sa amin manahan Ka...”)
5.          Pananatili (“yayakapain ang landasin...Mo” is again terno sa G No. 3)
6.          Empty Space (Foley) “So You may one day see my face” pero some consider this for the Sacred Heart mas apt. Bagaman mas nauugnay ito sa Kabanal-banalang Puso, this is taking it one step further: If we are anticipative and waiting so much, we might as well wait for the right One. Besides, this song could even help in increasing the longing. My own opinion lang ang last sentence; I’d love it if you’d
disagree para natu3 tayo lahat thru exchange of reasonable reasons. Ang panget ng English ko, but
you get what I mean.
7. In Him Alone
8. God of Silence (Francisco)
9. Holy Darkness “As we await You” pero some consider this for the Easter Vigil mas apt.
11. One Thing I Ask (Tirol)
12. This Alone (Manion)
13. One More Gift (Francisco)
14. Prayer of Saint Francis (Temple)
 
    RECESSIONAL:
1.       Umanhi Ka Mesiyas (Ad-3)
2.       Ang Tawag sa Panahon
3.       Tanda ng Kaharian ng Diyos (Morano & Francisco)
4.       Awit ng Pasasalamat (Hontiveros) “Tayo’y magagalak”
5.       A Time Will Come for Singing (Schutte)
6.       Wait for the Lord
7.       Life Forever More (Ellerton & Francisco)
8.       The Lord is my Light. Prioritize Stanza 2: “Your face, Lord, I seek.”

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.

3.      Paghahandog ng Sarili (..."Pagharian lahat ayon sa kalooban Mo...")
4.      Mula sa 'Yo ("Buhay ko'y pagharian Mo...")
5.      Ang Tanging Alay Ko. Stanza 3 ang priority. “Aking hinihintay ang ‘Yong pagbabalik, Hesus. Ang makapiling Mo’y kagalakang lubos.” This is so eschatology and triumph of Jesus.

8.      Ang Mabuting Pastol (Hontiveros)
9.      Hesus na Aking Kapatid (Hontiveros)
10.  One Thing I Ask (Tirol). Best choice. There are all the elements of eschatology, as well as the good shepherd imagery, and even triumph.
11.  If I could Touch You (Francisco) Stanza 3 and counterpoint ang priority. “What you do to your brethren, you do it for Me. I am in the brokenness and woundedness of man.” Although Lenten admittedly, still a very very very good choice.
