HUWEBES, Nobyembre 27, 2025

Huwebes ng Ika-34 o Huling Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Paggunita kay Sto. Vergilius, Obispo ng Salzburg

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “MAGALAK SA PAGDATING NG PANGINOON”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 21: 20-28

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Kapag nakita ninyong kubkob na ng mga hukbo ang Jerusalem, talastasin ninyong malapit na ang pagkawasak nito. Dapat tumakas sa kabundukan ang mga nasa Judea, at umalis ng lungsod ang mga naroon; huwag nang pumasok doon ang mga nasa kabukiran. Sapagkat ito ang ‘Mga Araw ng Pagpaparusa,’ bilang katuparan ng mga nasasaad sa Kasulatan. Kawawa ang nagdadalantao at nagpapasuso sa mga araw na iyon! Sapagkat darating ang malaking kapighatian sa lupaing ito, at ang poot ng Diyos sa bansang ito. Mamamatay sila sa tabak, at dadalhing bihag sa lahat ng bansa. At ang Jerusalem ay magiging busabos ng mga Hentil hanggang sa matapos ang panahong itinakda sa mga ito.

“Magkakaroon ng mga tanda sa araw, sa buwan, at sa mga bituin. Sa lupa, ang mga bansa ay masisindak at malilito dahil sa ugong at mga daluyong ng dagat. Ang mga tao’y hihimatayin sa takot dahil sa pag-iisip sa mga sakunang darating sa sanlibutan; sapagkat mayayanig at mawawala sa kani-kanilang landas ang mga planeta at iba pang katulad nito na nasa kalawakan. Sa panahong iyon, ang Anak ng Tao’y makikita nilang dumarating na nasa alapaap, may dakilang kapangyarihan at malaking karangalan. Kapag nagsimula nang mangyari ang mga bagay na ito, magalak kayo sapagkat malapit na ang pagliligtas sa inyo.”

Memorial of Saint Virgilius, Bishop

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “LOOK UP”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 21:20-28

Jesus said to his disciples:

“When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,

know that its desolation is at hand.

Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains.

Let those within the city escape from it,

and let those in the countryside not enter the city,

for these days are the time of punishment

when all the Scriptures are fulfilled.

Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days,

for a terrible calamity will come upon the earth

and a wrathful judgment upon this people.

They will fall by the edge of the sword

and be taken as captives to all the Gentiles;

and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles

until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars,

and on earth nations will be in dismay,

perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.

People will die of fright

in anticipation of what is coming upon the world,

for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

And then they will see the Son of Man

coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

But when these signs begin to happen,

stand erect and raise your heads

because your redemption is at hand.”

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Darakpin kayo’t uusigin. Kayo’y dadalhin sa mga sinagoga upang litisin at ipabilanggo. At dahil sa akin ay ihaharap kayo sa mga hari at mga gobernador. Ito ang pagkakataon ninyo upang magpatotoo tungkol sa akin. Ipanatag ninyo ang inyong kalooban, huwag kayong mababalisa tungkol sa pagtatanggol sa inyong sarili; sapagkat bibigyan ko kayo ng katalinuhan at ng pananalitang hindi kayang tutulan o pabulaanan ng sinuman sa inyong mga kaaway.

Jesus said to the crowd:

"They will seize and persecute you,

they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons,

and they will have you led before kings and governors

because of my name.

It will lead to your giving testimony.

Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,

for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking

that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.

You will even be handed over by parents,

brothers, relatives, and friends,

and they will put some of you to death.

You will be hated by all because of my name,

but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.

By your perseverance you will secure your lives."

Memorial of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, virgin and martyr

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: Vigilance and Faith

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 21:5-11

While some people were speaking about

how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings,

Jesus said, "All that you see here–

the days will come when there will not be left

a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."

Then they asked him,

"Teacher, when will this happen?

And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?"

He answered,

"See that you not be deceived,

for many will come in my name, saying,

'I am he,' and 'The time has come.'

Do not follow them!

When you hear of wars and insurrections,

do not be terrified; for such things must happen first,

but it will not immediately be the end."

Then he said to them,

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues

from place to place;

and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky."

MARTES, Nobyembre 25, 2025

Martes ng Ika-34 o Huling Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Paggunita kay Santa Catalina ng Alejandria, dalaga at martir

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : ‘MAKINIG KAY KRISTO”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 21 :5 - 11

Noong panahong iyon, pinag-uusapan ng ilang tao ang templo – ang kahanga-hangang mga bato na ginamit dito at ang mga palamuti nito na inihandog ng mga tao. Kaya’t sinabi ni Hesus, “Darating ang panahong lahat ng nakikita ninyong iyan ay iguguho, walang batong ititira sa ibabaw ng kapwa bato.”

Tinanong nila si Hesus, “Guro, kailan po ito mangyayari? At ano ang magiging palatandaan na ito’y magaganap na?”

Sumagot siya, “Mag-ingat kayo at nang hindi mailigaw ninuman! Sapagkat marami ang darating sa aking pangalan na magsasabi, ‘Ako ang Mesias!’ at, ‘Dumating na ang panahon!’ Huwag kayong susunod sa kanila. Huwag kayong mabagabag kung makabalita kayo ng mga digmaan at mga himagsikan. Dapat mangyari ang mga ito, ngunit hindi darating karaka-raka ang wakas.” At sinabi pa niya, “Makikipagdigma ang bansa laban sa kapwa bansa at ang kaharian sa kapwa kaharian. Magkakaroon ng malalakas na lindol, magkakagutom at magkakasalot sa iba’t ibang dako. May lilitaw na mga kakila-kilabot na bagay at mga kagila-gilalas na tanda buhat sa langit.”

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “TRUE GENEROSITY FROM A SURRENDERED HEART”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 21:1-4

When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people

putting their offerings into the treasury

and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.

He said, "I tell you truly,

this poor widow put in more than all the rest;

for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth,

but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood."

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “MULA SA IYONG KAKULANGAN”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 21 :1 - 4

Noong panahong iyon, nang tumingin si Hesus, nakita niya ang mayayamang naghuhulog ng kanilang kaloob sa lalagyan nito sa templo. Nakita rin niya ang isang dukhang babaing balo na naghulog ng dalawang kusing. Ang wika ni Hesus, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo: ang dukhang balong iyon ay naghulog nang higit kaysa kanilang lahat. Sapagkat bahagi lang ng di na nila kailangan ang kanilang ipinagkaloob, ngunit ibinigay ng balong iyon na dukhang-dukha ang buo niyang ikabubuhay.”

34th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Solemnity of the Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “THE TRUE KING”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 23 : 35 - 43

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said,

"He saved others, let him save himself

if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God."

Even the soldiers jeered at him.

As they approached to offer him wine they called out,

"If you are King of the Jews, save yourself."

Above him there was an inscription that read,

"This is the King of the Jews."

Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying,

"Are you not the Christ?

Save yourself and us."

The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply,

"Have you no fear of God,

for you are subject to the same condemnation?

And indeed, we have been condemned justly,

for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes,

but this man has done nothing criminal."

Then he said,

"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

He replied to him,

"Amen, I say to you,

today you will be with me in Paradise."

LINGGO, Nobyembre 23, 2025

Ika-34 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Pagkahari ng Panginoong Hesukristo sa Sanlibutan

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “KRISTONG HARI”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 23 : 35 - 43

Noong panahong iyon, nilibak si Hesus ng mga pinuno ng bayan. Anila, “Iniligtas niya ang iba; iligtas naman niya ngayon ang kanyang sarili, kung siya nga ang Mesiyas, ang hinirang ng Diyos!” Nilibak din siya ng mga kawal, nilapitan at inalok ng maasim na alak. Sinabi nila, “Kung ikaw ang Hari ng mga Judio, iligtas mo ang iyong sarili.” At nakasulat sa ulunan niya sa wikang Griego, Latin at Hebreo, “Ito ang Hari ng mga Judio.”

Tinuya siya ng isa sa mga salaring nakabitin, at ang sabi, “Hindi ba ikaw ang Mesiyas? Iligtas mo ang iyong sarili, pati na kami!” Ngunit pinagsabihan siya ng kanyang kasama, “Hindi ka ba natatakot sa Diyos? Ikaw ma’y pinarurusahang tulad niya! Matuwid lamang na tayo’y parusahan nang ganito dahil sa ating mga ginawa; ngunit ang taong ito’y walang ginawang masama.” At sinabi niya, “ Hesus, alalahanin mo ako kapag naghahari ka na.” Sumagot si Hesus, “Sinasabi ko sa iyo: ngayon di’y isasama kita sa Paraiso.”

SATURDAY, November 22, 2025

Saturday of the 33rd Week in Ordinary Time

Memorial of Saint Cecilia, virgin and martyr

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “GOD OF THE LIVING”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 20 : 27 - 40

Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,

came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying,

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us,

If someone's brother dies leaving a wife but no child,

his brother must take the wife

and raise up descendants for his brother.

Now there were seven brothers;

the first married a woman but died childless.

Then the second and the third married her,

and likewise all the seven died childless.

Finally the woman also died.

Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be?

For all seven had been married to her."

Jesus said to them,

"The children of this age marry and remarry;

but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age

and to the resurrection of the dead

neither marry nor are given in marriage.

They can no longer die,

for they are like angels;

and they are the children of God

because they are the ones who will rise.

That the dead will rise

even Moses made known in the passage about the bush,

when he called 'Lord'

the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

and he is not God of the dead, but of the living,

for to him all are alive."

Some of the scribes said in reply,

"Teacher, you have answered well."

And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

Sabado ng Ika-33 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Paggunita kay San Paggunita kay Santa Cecilia, dalaga at martir

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “MAKALANGIT O MAKAMUNDO?”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 20:27-40

Noong panahong iyon, may ilang Saduseo na lumapit kay Hesus. Ang Saduseo’y hindi naniniwala na muling bubuhayin ang mga patay. “Guro,” anila, “naglagda po si Moises ng ganitong batas para sa amin: ‘Kung mamatay ang isang lalaki at maiwang walang anak ang kanyang asawa, ang kapatid na lalaki’y dapat pakasal sa balo upang magkaanak sila para sa namatay.’ May pitong magkakapatid na lalaki. Nag-asawa ang panganay, at namatay na walang anak. Napakasal sa balo ang pangalawa, at namatay. Gayun din ang nangyari sa pangatlo hanggang sa pampito: isa-isang napangasawa ng babae at pawang namatay na walang anak. Sa kahuli-huliha’y namatay naman ang babae. Sa muling pagkabuhay, sino po sa pito ang kikilalaning asawa niya yamang napangasawa niya silang lahat?”

Sumagot si Hesus, “Sa buhay na ito, ang lalaki at mga babae’y nag-aasawa, ngunit ang lalaki’t babaing karapat-dapat na muling buhayin para sa kabilang buhay ay hindi na mag-aasawa. Hindi na sila mamamatay sapagkat matutulad sila sa mga anghel. At sila’y mga anak ng Diyos yamang muli silang binuhay. Maging si Moises ay nagpapatunay na muling binubuhay ang mga patay. Sapagkat sa kanyang kasaysayan hinggil sa nagliliyab na mababang punongkahoy, ang Panginoon ay tinawag niyang ‘Diyos ni Abraham, Diyos ni Isaac at Diyos ni Jacob.’ Ngunit ang Diyos ay hindi Diyos ng mga patay kundi ng mga buhay – sa kanya’y buhay ang lahat.” Sinabi ng ilan sa mga eskriba, “Magaling ang sagot ninyo, Guro!” At wala nang nangahas na magtanong sa kanya ng anuman.

The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “HOUSE OF PRAYER OR DEN OF THIEVES”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 19:45-48

Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out

those who were selling things, saying to them,

“It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer,

but you have made it a den of thieves.”

And every day he was teaching in the temple area.

The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile,

were seeking to put him to death,

but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose

because all the people were hanging on his words.

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “TEMPLO NG ESPIRITU SANTO”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 19 : 45 - 48

Noong panahong iyon, pumasok si Hesus sa templo at kanyang ipinagtabuyan ang mga nagtitinda. Sinabi niya sa mga ito, “Nasusulat: ‘Ang aking bahay ay tatawaging bahay-dalanginan.’ Ngunit ginawa ninyong ‘pugad ng mga magnanakaw.’”

Araw-araw, si Hesus ay nagtuturo sa loob ng templo. Pinagsikapan ng mga punong saserdote, ng mga eskriba, at ng mga pangunahin ng bayan na siya’y ipapatay. Subalit wala silang makitang paraan upang maisagawa ito, sapagkat taimtim na nakikinig sa kanya ang buong bayan.

“If this day you only knew what makes for peace–

but now it is hidden from your eyes.

For the days are coming upon you

when your enemies will raise a palisade against you;

Wednesday of the 33rd Week in Ordinary Time

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: Steward and the Christian Life

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 19: 11-28

While people were listening to Jesus speak,

he proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem

and they thought that the Kingdom of God

would appear there immediately.

So he said,

"A nobleman went off to a distant country

to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return.

He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins

and told them, 'Engage in trade with these until I return.'

His fellow citizens, however, despised him

and sent a delegation after him to announce,

'We do not want this man to be our king.'

But when he returned after obtaining the kingship,

he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money,

to learn what they had gained by trading.

The first came forward and said,

'Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.'

He replied, 'Well done, good servant!

You have been faithful in this very small matter;

take charge of ten cities.'

Then the second came and reported,

'Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.'

And to this servant too he said,

'You, take charge of five cities.'

Then the other servant came and said,

'Sir, here is your gold coin;

I kept it stored away in a handkerchief,

for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man;

you take up what you did not lay down

and you harvest what you did not plant.'

He said to him,

'With your own words I shall condemn you,

you wicked servant.

You knew I was a demanding man,

taking up what I did not lay down

and harvesting what I did not plant;

why did you not put my money in a bank?

Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.'

And to those standing by he said,

'Take the gold coin from him

and give it to the servant who has ten.'

But they said to him,

'Sir, he has ten gold coins.'

He replied, 'I tell you,

to everyone who has, more will be given,

but from the one who has not,

even what he has will be taken away.

Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king,

bring them here and slay them before me.'"

After he had said this,

he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.

MIYERKULES, Nobyembre 19, 2025

Miyerkules sa ika-33 Linggo sa Ordinaryong Panahon

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : Concerned Tayo Sa Mga Concerns Ni Hesus.

[MABUTING BALITA]: Lucas 19: 11-28

Noong panahong iyon, isinaysay ni Hesus ang isang talinghaga sa mga nakarinig ng una niyang pangungusap. Ginawa niya ito sapagkat malapit na siya sa Jerusalem, at ang akala ng mga tao ay itatatag na ang kaharian ng Diyos. Sabi niya: “May isang mahal na taong nagtungo sa malayong lupain upang gawing hari at magbalik pagkatapos niyon. Bago siya umalis, tinawag niya ang sampu sa kanyang mga alipin. Binigyan niya ang mga ito ng tig-iisang salaping ginto at sinabihan sila, ‘Ipangalakal ninyo iyan hanggang sa pagbabalik ko.’ Poot na poot naman sa kanya ang kanyang mga kababayan, kaya’t pagkaalis niya, nagsugo sila ng mga kinatawan upang sabihin sa kinauukulan: ‘Ayaw naming maging hari ang taong ito!’

“Ngunit ginawa ring hari ang taong iyon. Umuwi siya pagkatapos, at ipinatawag ang mga aliping binigyan niya ng salaping ginto, upang malaman kung gaano ang tinubo ng bawat isa. Lumapit sa kanya ang una at ang sabi, ‘Panginoon, ang salapi ninyong ginto ay nagtubo ng sampu.’ ‘Magaling,’ sagot niya. ‘Mabuting alipin! Yamang naging matapat ka sa kakaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa sampung bayan.’ Lumapit ang ikalawa at ang sinabi, ‘Panginoon, ang inyong salaping ginto ay nagtubo ng lima.’ At sinabi niya sa kanya, ‘Mamamahala ka sa limang bayan.’ Lumapit ang isa pang alipin at nagsabi, ‘Panginoon, heto po ang inyong salaping ginto. Binalot ko po sa panyo at itinago. Natatakot po ako sa inyo, sapagkat napakahigpit ninyo; kinukuha ninyo ang hindi sa inyo, at inaani ang hindi ninyo inihasik.’ Sinagot siya ng kanyang panginoon, ‘Masamang alipin! Sa salita mong iyan kita hahatulan. Alam mo palang ako’y mahigpit. Sinabi mo, kinukuha ko ang hindi sa akin at inaani ko ang hindi ko inihasik. Bakit hindi mo inilagay sa bangko ang aking salapi? Pagbabalik ko, sana’y may tinubo ang puhunang ito.’ At sinabi niya sa mga naroroon, ‘Kunin ninyo sa kanya ang salaping ginto, at ibigay sa may sampu.’ ‘Panginoon, siya po’y mayroon nang sampung salaping ginto!’ wika nila. ‘Sinasabi ko sa inyo: ang bawat mayroon ay bibigyan pa, ngunit ang wala, kahit ang kakaunting nasa kanya ay kukunin pa. Tungkol naman sa mga kaaway kong aayaw na ako’y maghari sa kanila – dalhin ninyo dito at patayin sa harapan ko!’”

Pagkasabi nito, nagpauna si Hesus patungong Jerusalem.

Monday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time

Memorial of Saint Martin de Porres, religious

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “HOSPITALITY WITH CHARITY”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 14:12-14

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine

at the home of one of the leading Pharisees.

He said to the host who invited him,

"When you hold a lunch or a dinner,

do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters

or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,

in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.

Rather, when you hold a banquet,

invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;

blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.

For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

LUNES, NOBYEMRE, 2025

Lunes ng Ika-31 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Paggunita kay San Martin de Porres, namanata sa Diyos

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “SALU-SALO SA LANGIT”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 14 : 12 - 14

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa pinuno ng mga Pariseo na nag-anyaya sa kanya: “Kapag naghahanda ka, huwag ang mga kaibigan mo, mga kapatid, mga kamag-anak o mayayamang kapitbahay ang aanyayahan mo, sapagkat aanyayahan ka rin nila, at sa gayo’y nagantihan ka na. Kaya kung ikaw ay maghahanda ng isang malaking salu-salo, ang mga pulubi, mga pingkaw, mga pilay, at mga bulag ang anyayahan mo. Hindi sila makagaganti sa iyo at sa gayo’y magiging mapalad ka. Gagantihin ka ng Diyos sa muling pagkabuhay ng mga banal.”
