“JESUS: BLESSED, BROKEN AND SHARED!”

Today, the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel shows Jesus in quiet grief over the death of John the Baptist. Yet, moved with compassion for the hungry crowd, He sets aside His sorrow and feeds them. Taking the loaves and fish, He blesses, breaks, and gives them—gestures that point to the Eucharist. As we receive Jesus in Holy Communion, may our lives, like His, be blessed, broken, and shared to satisfy the hunger of others and their scarcity.

Today is also the Priests’ Sunday, let us pray for the our ordained ministers and help in their formation and faithful perseverance in their priestly vocation.

FINDING REST IN JESUS!

Today on the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus praises God for revealing the mysteries of His Kingdom to the little ones rather than to the learned, the scribes and Pharisees who followed the rules strictly but became judgmental and resented Jesus for welcoming sinners. In contrast, Jesus, meek and humble of heart, invites all to come to Him and take His yoke — the command to love. As we accept Jesus’ invitation to this Eucharist, may He transform our hearts so that we may learn to love like Him with sincerity and compassion

BREAD OF LIFE, CUP OF SALVATION

As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy
Body and Blood of Christ, we are invited to reflect
deeply on the Eucharist as our true spiritual nourishment.

In gratitude, we recognize Jesus’ gift of Himself under the forms of Bread and Wine, sustaining us in our earthly journey. Like the manna given in the time of Moses, Christ the living Bread now offers not just physical sustenance but eternal life.

He is truly present in the Eucharist—as a Person and Brother who calls us into a loving and perfect communion with Him. May His self-giving love, shown in His Body broken and Blood poured out, lead us to seek and encounter Him more personally in our celebration today.

CHRIST, OUR HOPE,
IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!

Agrace-filled Easter Season to all!
The joy of the Resurrection fills our hearts and
moves us to share it with all. Something wondrous has happened—not only to Jesus, but to us as well: we have risen to new life. Renewed by Lent, we leave behind our sin and weakness to share in the life Christ gives to all who make Him Lord. With the Church’s Easter praise in today’s Sequence, we offer thanks to the Paschal Victim,
the Prince of Life, who reigns victorious over sin and death. The Risen Christ is our joy, our peace, and our strength to live as better Christians.

🌿 Easter Hope 🌿

He is risen! This Easter, we celebrate the incredible hope and new life found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What once seemed like the end became a new beginning—darkness turned to light, sorrow to joy, and death to life.
Easter reminds us that no matter what we face, God’s love is stronger. The empty tomb is not just a moment in history—it’s a promise for today. A promise of forgiveness, renewal, and everlasting hope.

As we gather with family, friends, and our church community, may our hearts be filled with peace and gratitude. Let us carry the message of Easter beyond this day—sharing kindness, love, and faith wherever we go.

✨ He is risen indeed! ✨
