Reflections on the weekly gospel from our Pastor.
It is very interesting to know that number forty is a significant number in the Scriptures. Why did Jesus leave his disciples forty days after his resurrection? Moses went to the mountain to seek the face of God for forty days in prayer and fasting. The people of Israel were in the wilderness for forty Read More
How many of us are searching for peace anywhere and everywhere, even in the wrong places? When we go through trials and tribulations, to whom or where do we turn to? Do we always seek Jesus in his Word and in the Eucharist to obtain that peace that we so long for? In such a Read More
Last week, our beloved brother Tala returned home to God. We offer our condolences to his wife Tini, and all their children and family. But Tala’s passing is not only felt by his biological family. We, his church family, are also heartbroken. In our parish, Tala was our head usher. For him, that position was Read More
When I was growing up I never saw a live sheep, not even a shepherd. I only saw them in postcards or in movies. For most of us who live in cities and housing estates, we don’t often see many shepherds herding their sheep to market; so, for many of us the language and images Read More
This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday. Chance is, you read about it in reflections online and hear it in homilies during mass. Therefore, instead of elaborating it more through this bulletin reflection, I’d like to talk about something that you may have missed this week: Earth Day, on April 22. I am fully aware that Read More
Alleluia! Jesus has risen from the dead, and we are so happy. As the responsorial psalm says: This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Today we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ’s Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about the disciples’ discovery Read More
From the Associate Pastor This Sunday, April 10, we are celebrating Palm Sunday, “of the Passion of the Lord.” As it is a very long and intense Gospel, I want to highlight some very important details so that we may meditate on them during Holy Week. Jesus chooses twelve men, the twelve apostles, to train Read More
From the Associate Pastor If you don’t go to the 10:00 AM Mass, you probably miss this special rite called “Scrutinies”. When a parish has people in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) program who will be baptized on Easter Vigil, they will go through this rite on the third, fourth, and fifth Read More
Little by little we are getting closer to Holy Week, and today’s Gospel brings us this beautiful story of the Prodigal Son, or the Forgiving Father, or even some people have called it the parable of the two brothers. This story has so many details that our minds can imagine every scene of the story. Read More
From our associate pastor AND OUR PASTORAL COUNCIL Dear Friends, members of our Pastoral Council in the parish have been taking turns each month writing a “Franciscan Thought” for the council to reflect on. I would like to share one with you and also introduce you to our council members. Peace and all good, Fr. Read More
