We’re closing this powerful weekend with a Praisefest led by Bro. Julius Comia. After everything we’ve heard and shared, we arrive at the ultimate celebration of His grace.

The table is set, the invitation is open, and now it’s time to lift our voices in highest praise. Let’s feast on His presence and give back the glory that is rightfully His!

THAT OUR JOY MAY BE COMPLETE

In Session 4, Bro. Norman Robles reminds us that while happiness is often tethered to our happenings, joy is anchored in the Eternal. When we stop looking at our surroundings and start looking at the Source, we find a fulfillment that doesn't fluctuate with the seasons.
It is not based on conditions or circumstances.

It is the steady, unshakeable flow of grace that remains even when life feels empty. We don't strive for joy; we abide in the Love that provides it.

When our stories feel overwhelmed by pain or uncertainty, it’s easy to feel like the "joy" is out of reach. But as Bro. Julius Bobadilla reminds us, if your story is currently full of problems, it is also currently full of God’s presence. Our joy becomes "complete" not because our circumstances are perfect, but because we realize that even in the midst of fear, we are never alone. The grace doesn't stop because of the trial; the trial is simply the place where we learn to lean on the grace.

EXTENDING THE TABLE

When we set aside “what I prefer” and choose “what God desires,” we begin to experience His will more fully.

In our third session, Bro. Arnel Sacris challenged us to shift our focus from our own plans to His purpose. True unity begins when we stop insisting on our own way and make room for His. By letting go of our personal “I” and embracing His will, we become a community rooted not in certainty—but in trust in the One who knows.

“Our mission isn’t to dwell on the past, but to make sure there is a seat ready for the future.”

Forgiveness is rarely easy, especially in the face of deep pain. But through the powerful testimony of Bro. Raymund and Sis. Sophia, we witnessed what true communion looks like—to extend grace even when it hurts. Despite all they’ve been through, they chose to see the face of Christ even in those the world often rejects.

Thank you for reminding us that to be one body is to choose love and forgiveness—especially when it’s difficult.

TABLE FOR THREE

“𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡.”
“𝐖𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝.”

In Session 2, Bro. Allan Santiago reminded us that a strong marriage is never a duo—it is a divine partnership. This beautifully illustrates that it is a sacred space where a husband and wife pull up a chair for the Lord, making Him the centerpiece of their union.
At this table, the focus isn't on where you’ve been, but on where you are going together. When we acknowledge that God is always in the midst of our relationship, our bond is strengthened by His constant presence and grace.

This is why the sharing of Bro. Nelson and Sis. Cynthia Mangubat deeply resonates. Through their testimony, they beautifully showed that love in marriage goes beyond traditional roles and expectations. It breaks the mold of worldly standards and points us back to what truly matters. In a relationship anchored in God, roles are not defined by pride or societal norms, but by love that serves.

As we lift our voices in Afternoon Worship led by Bro. Vincent Morales, we offer this prayer: "𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬." May this time of praise open our hearts to the messages He has prepared for us today. Let the Spirit move as we listen and lean in. 🙏

Today’s Gospel reminds us that the sheep follow the Shepherd because they know His voice. 🤍

During the homily, Rev. Fr. Angel Pastor reminded us how we can recognize that voice even in our modern lives.

As we go forth from this Mass, may we be confident that we are in the right place. By staying faithful to our vocations and our community, we remain within the “gate” of Christ’s protection. 🙏
