🔴 LIVE | Holy Eucharist – 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

📖 Matthew 18:15–20

Join us in prayer as we celebrate the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time and reflect on Jesus’ teaching about fraternal correction, reconciliation, and the power of prayer in community.

Today’s Gospel reminds us that when conflicts arise, we are called to approach one another with love, humility, and a sincere desire for reconciliation. Jesus assures us that whenever two or three gather in His name, He is present among them.

May this Eucharistic Celebration inspire us to build communities rooted in forgiveness, understanding, and unity, and to bring our prayers and concerns before the Lord with trusting hearts.

🙏 Lord Jesus, help us to forgive, reconcile, and remain united in Your love. May Your presence guide our families and communities always.

📍 St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral Parish
Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
— Matthew 18:20

Let us celebrate the Holy Eucharist together in faith and prayer. 🙏
