4th Sunday of Advent - Year C - December 22, 2024

 Merry Christmas po sa lahat. Namamasko po 😊

The 4th Sunday of Advent Year C prepares us for the coming of Jesus. The readings highlight important themes for our reflection. Create your own line-up of songs by using these themes:

• God’s Promise: God promises to send a ruler from Bethlehem. This promise shows God’s faithfulness.

• Humble Beginnings: Jesus is born in Bethlehem, a small town. This shows that God often works through humble beginnings.

• Obedience to God: Jesus came to do God’s will. He shows us the importance of obeying God.

• Joyful Expectation: Mary visits Elizabeth, and they rejoice. This reminds us to be joyful as we wait for Jesus.

• Blessed Among Women: Elizabeth calls Mary blessed. Mary is blessed because she believed God’s word.

• Jesus’ Sacrifice: Jesus offers His body for our sins. This shows His great love for us.

Reflecting on these themes for the 4th Sunday of Advent Year C helps us understand the readings better. They guide us in our preparation for Christmas.

Christ the King Sunday - Year B - November 24, 2024

Thanks for your love and support.

The Solemnity of Christ the King Year B reminds us of the kingship of Jesus and His authority over all. This feast invites us to reflect on Jesus’ role as our leader and savior. These are our theme for you to consider also what songs you need to add to your line-up:

• Jesus as King: Jesus is the King who has all power and authority, as shown in Daniel 7:13-14. He rules over all nations and people forever.

• Eternal Kingdom: Jesus’ kingdom is eternal, unlike earthly kingdoms. Revelation 1:5-8 tells us His rule will never end.

• Truth of Jesus: Jesus came to bear witness to the truth, as He says in John 18:33B-37. His truth guides us and sets us free.

• Jesus’ Sacrifice: Jesus, the faithful witness, loves us and freed us from sin by His blood (Revelation 1:5). His sacrifice shows His kingship through service.

• Hope in Christ: The readings give us hope in Christ’s ultimate victory. His kingdom brings peace and justice.

• Universal Reign: Jesus’ reign is for everyone, as seen in Daniel 7:14. His kingdom includes all people, nations, and languages.

• Christ’s Witness: Jesus’ role as a witness to the truth is central in John 18:37. This shows His authority and purpose.

Reflecting on these themes helps us understand Jesus’ kingship and its importance in our lives. The Solemnity of Christ the King Year B calls us to recognize and honor Jesus as our King and Savior.

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - November 17, 2024

 Salamat po sa pagbisita.

The 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B invites us to reflect on the end times and the hope we have in Christ. The readings highlight themes of final judgment, perseverance, and salvation.

• Final Judgment: Daniel 12:1-3 talks about a time of great distress but also about those who will be saved. It reminds us that there will be a final judgment where the faithful will shine like stars.

• Resurrection and Eternal Life: In Daniel, we hear about those who sleep in the dust awakening to everlasting life. This gives us hope in the promise of resurrection and eternal life with God.

• Christ’s Sacrifice: Hebrews 10:11-14, 18 speaks of Jesus’ single sacrifice for sins. It emphasizes that through Jesus, we are forgiven and made holy.

• Perseverance in Faith: The readings encourage us to stay firm in our faith, even during difficult times. This perseverance is necessary to receive the promises of God.

• Hope in Tribulation: Mark 13:24-32 describes the coming of the Son of Man during troubling times. Despite these tribulations, we have hope in Jesus’ return and ultimate victory.

• God’s Faithfulness: The readings highlight that God will fulfill His promises. We can trust in His faithfulness even when the world seems uncertain.

These themes for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B remind us of the importance of faith and hope in the face of trials. They encourage us to stay faithful, knowing that God’s promises will be fulfilled in the end.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - November 10, 2024

 Thanks for visiting our blog.
 The 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B features readings that emphasize faith, sacrifice, and trust in God. These themes help us reflect on our relationship with God and others. From these themes below, you can create your own line-up of songs if you are familiar with the majority of songs of our church.

• Trust in God’s plan: In 1 Kings 17:10-16, the widow trusts Elijah’s word from God and is blessed with food. This shows that trusting God’s plan brings blessings.

• Generosity in poverty: The widow in Mark 12:38-44 gives all she has. Her generosity shows that true giving comes from the heart, not from excess.

• Sacrifice: Hebrews 9:24-28 speaks about Jesus’ sacrifice. Jesus’ offering of himself is the ultimate act of love and service.

• Humility: Jesus criticizes the scribes in Mark 12:38-44 for their pride. Humility is important in our relationship with God and others.

• Faith in God’s promises: The widow in 1 Kings 17:10-16 acts on faith. Believing in God’s promises leads to unexpected blessings.

• Jesus as the mediator: Hebrews 9:24-28 describes Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity. This emphasizes the importance of Jesus in our salvation.

• True wealth: The story of the widow’s mite in Mark 12:38-44 shows that true wealth is not measured by money. It’s about giving and trusting in God.

• Obedience to God: Elijah asks the widow to make bread in 1 Kings 17:10-16, and she obeys. Her obedience leads to God providing for her needs.

The readings for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B remind us of the importance of trust, faith, and humility in our lives. Reflecting on these themes can strengthen our relationship with God and guide us in our daily actions.

Recessional:
1.    Ang Atong Tulubagon
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.)
