Today, February 8, 2026, the faithful of Sto. Niño Parish–Pahanocoy gathered for the 6:30 AM Holy Mass celebration of the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Gospel from Matthew 5:13–16 reminded us that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, called to make God’s love visible through our lives. It served as a powerful call to live our faith through our actions—choosing kindness, doing what is right, and being a light to others, so that everything we do gives glory to God.
In his homily, Rev. Fr. Reman C. Cornel reflected on the Gospel, encouraging us to be the salt of the earth because we trust in the Lord. Being salt means remaining faithful and doing what is right, even when others turn their backs on us. Our faith gives us the courage to stand firm, knowing that we are never alone. When we place our trust in God, He stays with us, strengthens us, and guides us through every challenge. Through this trust, we continue to live as true witnesses of Christ in the world.
As the celebration came to a close, Father imparted his final blessing, sending the faithful forth renewed in faith, strengthened in hope, and inspired to live out the Gospel in their daily lives.
