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/)

• 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.

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - September 20, 2026

 

Thank you for visiting.

The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds us that God’s ways are different from ours. He is generous and merciful, offering grace to all who seek Him.

• God’s Mercy is Generous: God forgives and welcomes sinners who turn to Him. His mercy is greater than human expectations.
• God’s Ways are Higher: People expect fairness based on effort, but God’s justice is different. He gives according to His wisdom, not human standards.
• Living for Christ: Paul shows that life is about serving Christ. Whether in life or death, we belong to Him.
• The Call to Seek God: Isaiah urges people to turn to God while there is time. God is near to those who seek Him with sincerity.
• God’s Justice is Different: The landowner pays all workers the same wage, showing God’s generosity. He gives freely, not based on human ideas of fairness.
• Humility Before God: People should not question God’s decisions. His ways are beyond human understanding.
• Faithful Living: Paul encourages Christians to live in a way that honors the gospel. Actions should reflect faith in Christ.

The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A teaches that God is merciful and generous. He calls people to trust in His ways and live in faith.

• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 145: The Lord is near to all who call upon him.

Daily I’ll bless and praise You, O Lord, forever. Your greatness is beyond measure. You’re gracious, merciful, slow to anger, kind, and just. You’re near to all who call upon You.

• Second Reading – Philippians 1:20C-24, 27A: In life or death, I magnify Christ. Life means fruitful labor. Caught between longing for departure to be with Christ and staying for your benefit. Live worthily of the gospel.

• Gospel – Matthew 20:1-16A: The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who hires laborers at different times. Those who worked only an hour received the same wage as those who worked all day. The landowner’s generosity teaches that God’s ways are not based on human standards of fairness.

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.

• Jesus Saves: Peter cried out when he was sinking, and Jesus reached out to help him. God does not leave people alone in their struggles.

16th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - July 19, 2026

 The 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A focuses on God’s patience, mercy, and the growth of His kingdom. The readings show how God gives people time to change and how His kingdom grows in unexpected ways.

• God’s Justice and Mercy: God is strong but also kind. He gives people time to turn back to Him instead of punishing them right away.

• Patience in Growth: The parable of the wheat and weeds teaches that good and bad exist together for now. God waits until the right time to separate them.

• Power of Small Beginnings: The mustard seed and yeast show that God’s kingdom starts small but grows. What seems unimportant can have a big impact.

• The Spirit’s Help in Prayer: The Holy Spirit helps when people do not know what to say in prayer. God understands even when words fail.

• Hope for Repentance: God does not rush to punish but gives people chances to change. He wants them to turn back to Him.

• Trust in God’s Timing: The farmer in the parable waits for the right time to gather the harvest. God knows the right time to act in the world and in people’s lives.

The 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds people that God is patient and merciful. He gives time for growth and change, and His kingdom will grow in ways they may not expect.
