‎❤️‍🔥 Using the image of a king who prepares a wedding feast for his son, Jesus in the Gospel reveals God’s generous invitation to salvation, the tragedy of those who reject it, and the responsibility of those who accept it to live lives worthy of their calling. The parable reminds us that God's invitation is freely offered to all, but it requires a wholehearted response marked by faith and holiness.

Today is 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 and 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆. As we remember the struggles of indigenous people and the sufferings of our brothers and sisters because of poverty, may we have the courage to lessen their burdens and fight for their rights and dignity.

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples A feast of rich food and choice w**es, juicy, rich food and pure, choice w**es. On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, The web that is woven over all nations. He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken. On that day it will be said: “Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us! This is the Lord to whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!” For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain.”

Jesus again in reply spoke to {the chief priests and elders of the people} in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those invited: “Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.”’ Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.’ The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?’ But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’ Many are invited, but few are chosen.”

‎💭 Today's Reflections
𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬!
Cl. Anjon Fredrick Mamunta, SSP

We Filipinos love celebrations. Birthdays, fiestas, weddings, anniversaries, and reunions easily bring family and friends together around the table filled with food and laughter. We gladly spend time, effort, and resources because we want everyone to feel welcome and valued.

Every celebration, however, also calls for a response from those invited. Guests honor the host by accepting the invitation, coming prepared, and dressing appropriately for the occasion. Their presence is more than simply attending an event; it is a way of appreciating the generosity of the one who welcomed them.

This familiar experience helps us understand today’s Gospel. Jesus compares the Kingdom of heaven to a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. Everything was ready. The feast lacked nothing. What was lacking was the response of those who had been invited. Some ignored the invitation because they were preoccupied with their work and possessions. Others rejected it completely and even killed the king’s messengers. While it is easy to focus on their refusal, another detail deserves our attention. When the invited guests would not come, the king did not cancel the banquet. Instead, he sent his servants into the streets to gather anyone they could find, “both the good and the bad.” It is through this powerful image that Jesus reveals to us a God who never tires of inviting his people into communion with him.

The prophet Isaiah echoes this reality in the First Reading. We hear the Lord preparing a banquet not for a privileged few but for all peoples. It is a feast where death is destroyed, tears are wiped away, and hope is restored. Before we ever think of seeking God, he has already prepared a place for us. The banquet begins with his initiative, not ours.

Going back to the Gospel, the second part of the parable is a bit unsettling. A guest who accepted the invitation was cast out because he was not wearing a wedding garment. But it is not just because of not wearing what is prescribed, rather it points to a disposition. In our case, this represents the inner disposition of the one who enters God’s Kingdom. God’s invitation is freely offered to everyone, but it is never an invitation to remain unchanged. His grace welcomes us as we are, yet it also calls us to conversion.

In the Second Reading, Paul writing to the Philippians, offers the reality of this transformation, of this conversion. Having experienced both abundance and hardship, he learned that his strength came from Christ alone. The witness of Christ’s life is our example and guide: our readiness for the banquet of God is not measured by success or possessions, but by a heart that trusts the Lord in every circumstance.

Every Eucharist is a foretaste of this heavenly banquet. Each Sunday, God prepares his table and renews his invitation. The question is not whether he is ready to receive us. He always is. And all that is lacking is our response, a response that, hopefully, is a heart open to welcome him and is willing to be transformed by him.

May we never ignore the invitation that God continually extends to us. And whenever he calls us to his table, may we come not only with grateful hearts but also with lives clothed in faith, humility, and love, ready to share in the joy he has prepared for all his people.

{After Jesus had been taken up to heaven,} they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away.

When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

‎✝️ Gospel (Lk 1:26-38)
‎📖 A reading from the Holy Gospel According to Luke

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗬 𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗬: 𝗔 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗝𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬
Fr. Gil Alinsangan, SSP

The 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 is a traditional Catholic prayer that leads us to contemplate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ with Mary, his Mother. As we move from one mystery to another, we are invited not simply to recite prayers but to enter more deeply into the life of Christ and to see him through the eyes and heart of Mary.

Although the Rosary is deeply Marian in character, Pope St. John Paul II emphasized that it is fundamentally Christ-centered. He described the Rosary as a kind of “𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹” because, through its mysteries, we meditate on the major events in the life of Jesus.

However, the traditional Rosary did not explicitly include much of Jesus’ public ministry between his Baptism in the Jordan and his Passion. John Paul II recognized this as an opportunity to enrich the Rosary: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦?

For this reason, he proposed five mysteries taken from this important period of Jesus’ public ministry. He wanted to highlight even more clearly the Christological depth of the Rosary and to make it an even fuller “compendium of the Gospel.”

Pope St. John Paul II introduced the 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, or 𝗠𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, in his Apostolic Letter 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘦, issued on October 16, 2002, during the Year of the Rosary.

The 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 are:
𝟭) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗻 — where the Father reveals Jesus as his beloved Son and the Holy Spirit descends upon him.

𝟮) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮 — where Jesus performs his first public sign by changing water into w**e and reveals his glory, leading his disciples to believe in him.

𝟯) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 — where Jesus announces that the Kingdom of God is at hand and calls us to repent, believe, and live according to the Gospel.

𝟰) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — where Jesus reveals his divine glory on the mountain and strengthens the faith of his disciples as they journey toward Jerusalem.

𝟱) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 — where Jesus gives us his Body and Blood at the Last Supper and remains with us in the sacrament of his love.

They are called the 𝗠𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 because 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱. During his public ministry, the light of his divine identity and saving mission shines forth in a special way. Jesus reveals the Father, proclaims the Kingdom, calls people to conversion, performs signs of God’s love, and leads humanity toward salvation.

Thus, the Luminous Mysteries help us see that the Rosary is not simply a prayer about Mary. 𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘺, 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵. Mary always leads us to her Son. She teaches us to listen to him, to follow him, and to keep his word in our hearts.

John Paul II did not add the Luminous Mysteries because he believed that the traditional Rosary was defective or incomplete. Rather, he sought to enrich the Rosary while preserving its traditional structure. His desire was to help Catholics contemplate the whole mystery of Christ more fully and to prevent the Rosary from becoming a merely mechanical repetition of prayers.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗛-𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘
Pope St. John Paul II also emphasized the profound importance of the Holy Rosary in our Christian life.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁. When we pray the Rosary, we learn to look at Jesus with Mary’s eyes with faith, love, wonder, sorrow, and hope. Mary helps us to remain close to Jesus in every mystery of his life.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. As we repeatedly contemplate the life of Christ, his virtues gradually become part of our own lives. We learn from him humility, patience, obedience, compassion, courage, forgiveness, and love.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. In the mysteries of the Rosary, we discover the sanctity and dignity of human life, the beauty and responsibility of family, the meaning of suffering, the power of forgiveness, and the hope of eternal life.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿. The repetition of the Hail Mary creates a peaceful rhythm in which the mind and heart can become quiet before God. The words of the prayer become a kind of background that allows us to enter more deeply into the mysteries of Christ.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. When families pray the Rosary together, they create a sacred moment in which everyone can stop, listen, remember God’s presence, and place their joys, struggles, hopes, and fears in God's hands.

‎📅 Sept. 13, 2026
‎🛐 Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)
‎🧑‍🏫 National Catechetical Day
‎👐 Vestment: 💚
‎📕 Lectionary: 130

‎❤️‍🔥 In the Gospel, Jesus declares that we, whose debts God has forgiven, are expected to be just as generous to others. By forgiving one another, we do what God does all the time for us. May the Lord touch our hearts hardened by hurt and bitterness.

‎Today we celebrate National Catechetical Day. We honor catechists, recognize their ministry, and reflect on the responsibility of all baptized to share the faith.

‎1️⃣ Reading I (Sir 27:30-28:7 NABRE)
‎The wise man Sirach teaches that an Israelite should forgive his neighbor’s fault, so that God would forgive him.
‎📖 A reading from the Book of Ben Sira

‎Wrath and anger, these also are abominations, yet a sinner holds on to them.

‎The vengeful will face the Lord’s vengeance; indeed he remembers their sins in detail. Forgive your neighbor the wrong done to you; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven. Does anyone nourish anger against another and expect healing from the Lord? Can one refuse mercy to a sinner like oneself, yet seek pardon for one’s own sins? If a mere mortal cherishes wrath, who will forgive his sins? Remember your last days and set enmity aside; remember death and decay, and cease from sin! Remember the commandments and do not be angry with your neighbor; remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook faults.

‎- The word of the Lord.

‎🎼 Responsorial Psalm (Ps 103:1-2, 3-4, 9-10, 11-12)

‎R. (8) The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion.

‎1. Bless the LORD, O my soul;/and all my being, bless his holy name./ Bless the LORD, O my soul,/ and forget not all his benefits. (R)

‎2. He pardons all your iniquities,/ heals all your ills./ He redeems your life from destruction,/ crowns you with kindness and compassion. (R)

‎3. He will not always chide,/ nor does he keep his wrath forever./ Not according to our sins does he deal with us,/ nor does he requite us according to our crimes. (R)

‎4. For as the heavens are high above the earth/ so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him./ As far as the east is from the west,/ so far has he put our transgressions from us. (R)

‎2️⃣ Reading II (Rom 14:7-9 NABRE)
‎Saint Paul reminds us of the Lordship of Jesus. None of us lives or dies as one’s own master. We are servants of one and the same Lord.
‎📖 A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans

‎{Brothers and sisters:} None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

‎- The word of the Lord.

‎✝️ Gospel (Mt 18:21-35 NABRE)
‎Jesus makes forgiveness essential. In the parable of the forgiving master and the merciless servant-debtor, He teaches us to for give as we have been forgiven, echoing the prayer He gave us: “forgive us... as we forgive.” God’s mercy flows to us so it may flow through us.
‎📖 A reading from the Holy Gospel According to Matthew

‎(Then) Peter approach{ed Jesus and} asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had him put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.”

‎Forgive and Be Free
‎+ Fr. Albert Bernal, SSP

‎ERNEST HEMINGWAY TELLS A STORY of a Spanish father who wanted to be reconciled with his runaway son. The father put an advertisement in the local newspaper, El Liberal. The ad read, “Paco, meet me at the Hotel Montana at noon on Tuesday. All is forgiven! Love, Papa.” However, Paco was such a common name in Spain that when the father went to Hotel Montana the next day at noon, 800 young men named Paco waited for their fathers!

‎Hemingway’s story reminds us how desperate many of us are for forgiveness. And indeed, reconciliation is the core in our Christian belief. Forgiveness is what our God is known for, “He is compassionate, merciful, love and He forgives” (Ps 103).

‎Forgiveness is the ID and signature of those people who try to follow Jesus. Of course, it is never easy to forgive. And it is much harder to forgive when it’s too close to home, when we deal with the hurts and wrongs inflicted on us by family members, friends, and co-workers whom we’re in daily contact with. The wise man Sirac urges us in the First Reading, “Think of the commandments, hate not your neighbor, remember the Most High’s covenant, and overlook faults.” We must learn the love that Jesus has for us and thus make ourselves as offerings and living sacrifices to the Lord. We must be forgiving the way our generous God forgives us. This characteristic indelibly marks us as Christians.

‎Forgiveness also liberates the one who is forgiven and heals the one who forgives at the same time. St. Paul reminds us, “The life and death of each of us have its influence on the other.” It is important to note that forgiveness has a double effect: on the other and ourselves. Thus, withholding forgiveness can be detrimental and dangerous to our character and well-being as Christians. When we hate someone, we’re giving him/her power over our sleep and disturbing our peace of mind is disturbed. This resentment can affect us physically, as has been documented in many medical journals. Such action can shorten one’s life considerably. So when Jesus told Peter to forgive seven times seventy times, he was trying to keep Peter from suffering the consequences that would arise from an unforgiving heart. Jesus was trying to save Peter from not loving.

‎Forgiveness is not a one-time-big-time pursuit. It is a continuous commitment. Forgiveness is an ongoing process until hearts are all put to rest. Pope Francis said, “God pardons us 77 times, but that is with the presumption that we too forgive others.” Let us be assured that the Lord justifies us by forgiving us, “not just once but always,” but at the same time, let this action of God be a calling for us to forgive like God. Let us heed the words of Jesus! Forgive, seven times seventy times!

‎🛐 (F) Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
‎👐 Vestment: 🤍 / 💙
‎📕 Lectionary: 636

‎❤️‍🔥 Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We commemorate the beginning of the fullness of time, when God sent his Son to take on our humanity, and save us from sin that enslaves us. The woman chosen to give birth to the Savior was born of humble parents in the peripheral village of Galilee. Ever humble, Mary seemed so ordinary, like other young women, but her Immaculate Conception and her Nativity marked the dawn of the greatest event in human history, the coming of the Savior long foretold by prophets. And so, we rejoice at the birth of Mary, our “tainted nature’s solitary boast.” Her unique grace and purity make her the exceptional example of our human nature.

‎1️⃣ Reading I (Mic 5:1-4 NABRE)
‎Long ago, the prophet Micah foretold of a ruler coming from Bethlehem, the city of King David. This prophecy is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, uhom Mary gave birth to in Bethlehem during the Roman census.
‎📖 A reading from the Book of the Prophet Micah

‎{The LORD says:} (But) you, Bethlehem-Ephrathah least among the clans of Judah, From you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times. Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, Then the rest of his kindred shall return to the children of Israel. He shall take his place as shepherd by the strength of the Lord, by the majestic name of the Lord, his God; And they shall dwell securely, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth: he shall be peace. (If Assyria invades our country and treads upon our land, We shall raise against it seven shepherds, eight of royal standing;)

‎- The word of the Lord.

‎🎼 Responsorial Psalm (Ps 13:6ab, 6c)

‎R. (Is 61:10) With delight I rejoice in the Lord.

‎1. Though I trusted in your mercy, let my heart rejoice in your salvation. (R)

‎2. Let me sing of the Lord, “He has been good to me.” (R)

‎✝️ Gospel (Mt 1:1-16, 18-23 NABRE)
‎📖 A reading from the Holy Gospel According to Matthew

‎The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

‎Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse, Jesse the father of David the king.

‎David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon became the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asaph. Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah. Uzziah became the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amos, Amos the father of Josiah. Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.

‎After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.

‎Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.”

‎💭 Today's Reflections
‎A Mañanita for the Blessed Virgin Mary
‎Fr. Gil Alinsangan, SSP

IT IS AN EXHILARATING experience to watch the sunrise in an open field or while taking a morning flight. The sunrise is a harbinger of a new day, a new lease on life with its varied experiences. We speak of the “morning star” when referring to the planet Venus because it is the brightest planet in the sky and is often visible just before sunrise.

‎We Christians refer to the Lord Jesus as the brightest star announcing the arrival of the new day. He shatters the darkness of humanity’s night and heralds the dawn of God’s glorious day. In Revelation 22:16, the glorious and risen Lord refers to himself as “the bright morning star” that heralds a new day and signals the end of spiritual darkness, While, announcing his birth, Zechariah declares in his canticle Benedictus: “The daybreak from on high will visit us to shine on those who sit in darkness and death’s shadow” (Lk 2:78-79).

‎Centuries before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah prophesied of a young woman/virgin who would bear a son, named “Emmanuel” to signify God’s presence among men, But even from the beginning, after the fall of Adam and Eve, the Lord God spoke of the proto-evangelium or the “first good news”: the offspring of a woman would strike at the serpent’s head (Gen 4:15). Many would see in this the role of Mary and her Savior-Son.

‎It is in this light that we celebrate the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We also call her the morning star (stella matutina) because, like the star that rises early in the morning to reveal the day (Venus), as the Mother of God, “Mary appeared on the horizon of salvation history before Christ,” as Pope St. John Paul II puts it in his encyclical letter Redemptoris Mater. For just as this star, together with the “dawn,” precedes the rising of the sun, so Mary from the time of her Immaculate Conception and her Nativity preceded the coming of the Savior, the rising of the “Sun of Justice” in the history of the human race.

‎As young seminarians then, at the birthday of our Father-Formator, we would wake up early in the morning to offer him our mañanita. It refers to serenading of a person early in the morning to celebrate one’s birthday or feast day. It is a Spanish term that comes from mañana (morning) with a diminutive suffix -ita, meaning, little morning or dawn. This tradition is prominent in the Philippines.

‎Singing the malanita to Mama Mary on her birthday expresses our love, devotion, and joy for her. After all, we Filipinos are known as “pueblo amante de Maria.” Although the lyrics of the song speak of any birthday celebrant, they fit her to a tee:

‎How beautiful is the morning
‎As we come and sing to you
‎With hearts so full of gladness
‎And the fondest thought of you!

‎On the day that you were born
‎All the flowers burst in bloom
‎The world was filled with colors
‎And the strains of a welcome song.

‎A great poet, William Wordsworth, though not a Catholic, understood as all great poets do, the truth of things in nature. He was fascinated with the Virgin Mary and called her “our tainted nature’s solitary boast.”

‎Mother! whose virgin bosom was uncrost
‎With the least shade of thought to sin allied.
‎Woman! above all women glorified,
‎Our tainted nature's solitary boast…
