The Ascension of the Lord
Ascension
Lectionary: 58

FIRST READING
Acts 1:1-11
As the Apostles were looking on, Jesus was lifted up.

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

In the first book, Theophilus,
I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught
until the day he was taken up,
after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit
to the apostles whom he had chosen.
He presented himself alive to them
by many proofs after he had suffered,
appearing to them during forty days
and speaking about the kingdom of God.
While meeting with them,
he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem,
but to wait for “the promise of the Father
about which you have heard me speak;
for John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
When they had gathered together they asked him,
“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons
that the Father has established by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
throughout Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
When he had said this, as they were looking on,
he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going,
suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
They said, “Men of Galilee,
why are you standing there looking at the sky?
This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven
will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Ps. 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9
R. (6) God mounts his throne to shouts of joy:
a blare of trumpets for the Lord.

All you peoples, clap your hands,
shout to God with cries of gladness,
For the LORD, the Most High, the awesome,
is the great king over all the earth. R.

God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy;
the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our king, sing praise. R.

For king of all the earth is God;
sing hymns of praise.
God reigns over the nations,
God sits upon his holy throne. R.



SECOND READING
Eph 1:17-23
Christ has entered into heaven itself.
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians

Brothers and sisters:
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation
resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened,
that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call
what are the riches of glory
in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power
for us who believe,
in accord with the exercise of his great might,
which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead
and seating him at his right hand in the heavens,
far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion,
and every name that is named
not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the church,
which is his body,
the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.

The word of the Lord.

Gospel
Matthew 28:16-20
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
“All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”



PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL
On this feast of the Ascension, as Jesus returns to the Father and sends us out on mission, we come together as one community and entrust our
prayers to the Lord:
Lord, send us forth in your love.

1. For the Holy Father, our bishops, and all Church leaders, that they may guide us with wisdom and humility, helping us to grow together in faith and service, we pray to the Lord.

2. For all the faithful, that we may recognize our call to share in the mission of Christ, offering our time, gifts, and hearts in service to others, we pray to
the Lord.

3. For unity in our communities, that we may learn to forgive, to understand, and to walk together in peace, especially with those who feel forgotten or left out, we pray to the Lord.

4. For our parish and local communities, that we may not only gather in
prayer but also go out to bring Christ’s love to our families, neighbors, and
those on the margins, we pray to the Lord.

5. For those who are struggling, the sick, and the weary, that they may feel
God’s comforting presence through the care and support of others, we pray
to the Lord.

6. For our departed loved ones, that they may share in the joy of Christ in
heaven, where he has gone before us, we pray to the Lord.

Loving Father, your Son has returned to you in glory and entrusted us with his mission. Guide us to listen, serve, and bring hope. Strengthen us in faith. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sixth Sunday of Easter
Lectionary: 55

Reading 1
Acts 8:5-8, 14-17
Philip went down to the city of Samaria
and proclaimed the Christ to them.
With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip
when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing.
For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice,
came out of many possessed people,
and many paralyzed or crippled people were cured.
There was great joy in that city.
Now when the apostles in Jerusalem
heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God,
they sent them Peter and John,
who went down and prayed for them,
that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
for it had not yet fallen upon any of them;
they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them
and they received the Holy Spirit.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 66:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20
R. (1) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth,
sing praise to the glory of his name;
proclaim his glorious praise.
Say to God, “How tremendous are your deeds!”
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

“Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you,
sing praise to your name!”
Come and see the works of God,
his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

He has changed the sea into dry land;
through the river they passed on foot;
therefore let us rejoice in him.
He rules by his might forever.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare
what he has done for me.
Blessed be God who refused me not
my prayer or his kindness!
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Reading 2
1 Peter 3:15-18
Beloved:
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Always be ready to give an explanation
to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
but do it with gentleness and reverence,
keeping your conscience clear,
so that, when you are maligned,
those who defame your good conduct in Christ
may themselves be put to shame.
For it is better to suffer for doing good,
if that be the will of God, than for doing evil.
For Christ also suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.

Alleluia
John 14:23
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord,
and my Father will love him and we will come to him.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel
John 14:15-21
Jesus said to his disciples:
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,
because it neither sees nor knows him.
But you know him, because he remains with you,
and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
In a little while the world will no longer see me,
but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father
and you are in me and I in you.
Whoever has my commandments and observes them
is the one who loves me.
And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”

PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL
Trusting in the Holy Spirit whom Jesus sends to guide and remain with
us, we bring before the Lord the needs of our community and the world:
Lord, make us one in your love.
1. For the Church, especially our local Church in the Archdiocese of
Tuguegarao, that we may grow in love for one another, walk together in
unity, and reach out with care to those who are in need, we pray:
2. For our world, that we may learn to care for creation with respect and
responsibility, and work together to protect the gift of life entrusted to us,
we pray:
3. For those who feel trapped by weakness, fear, or discouragement, that the
Lord may touch them with his freeing love and lead them to new life and
hope, we pray:
4. For mothers and grandmothers, that God may bless and strengthen them
in their love and sacrifices, and make them joyful witnesses of faith in our
homes, we pray:
5. For the sick and those who suffer, that they may feel the healing presence
of the Lord through the kindness and care of others, we pray:
6. For our departed brothers and sisters, that they may be welcomed into
God’s eternal home, where peace and joy never end, we pray:
7. For all of us gathered here, that guided by the Holy Spirit, we may
continue to walk together, listen to one another, and be sent out to share
Christ’s love in our families and communities, we pray:
Loving Father, you sent your Son to reveal your love
and gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us.
Stay with us, teach us to love and serve,
and help us trust always in your presence. Through Christ our Lord

Fifth Sunday of Easter
Lectionary: 52

FIRST READING
Acts 6:1-7
They chose seven men filled with the Holy Spirit.
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

As the number of disciples continued to grow,
the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews
because their widows
were being neglected in the daily distribution.
So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said,
“It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table.
Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men,
filled with the Spirit and wisdom,
whom we shall appoint to this task,
whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer
and to the ministry of the word.”
The proposal was acceptable to the whole community,
so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit,
also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas,
and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
They presented these men to the apostles
who prayed and laid hands on them.
The word of God continued to spread,
and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly;
even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

The word of the Lord


RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-19
R. (22) Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.

Exult, you just, in the LORD;
praise from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
with the ten-stringed lyre chant his praises. R.

Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full. R.

See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine. R



SECOND READING
1 Pt 2:4-9
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood.
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Peter
Beloved:

Come to him, a living stone, rejected by human beings
but chosen and precious in the sight of God,
and, like living stones,
let yourselves be built into a spiritual house
to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
For it says in Scripture:
Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion,
a cornerstone, chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in it shall not be put to shame.
Therefore, its value is for you who have faith, but for those without faith:
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone, and
A stone that will make people stumble,
and a rock that will make them fall.
They stumble by disobeying the word, as is their destiny.
You are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people of his own,
so that you may announce the praises” of him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

The word of the Lord.


GOSPEL
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back again and take you to myself,
so that where I am you also may be.
Where I am going you know the way.”
Thomas said to him,
“Master, we do not know where you are going;
how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said to him,
“Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time
and you still do not know me, Philip?
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
or else, believe because of the works themselves.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
and will do greater ones than these,
because I am going to the Father.”

The Gospel of the Lord.


PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL
Jesus tells us that whatever we ask in his name, he will grant it. Trusting in his love, we now bring our prayers before the Father:
R/ Abide with us, Lord, and hear our prayer.

1. For the Church, especially our local Church in the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao, that we may walk together as one family—listening to one another, caring for those in need, and joyfully sharing the Good News in our daily lives, we pray:

2. For our leaders in government and in the courts, that they may serve with honesty and compassion, and always protect the dignity of every person and the freedom to live our faith, we pray:

3. For families, especially those who welcome children in need, that their homes may be filled with love, patience, and understanding, becoming places where hope can grow, we pray:

4. For the sick, the weary, and those carrying heavy burdens, that they may feel the closeness of Christ through the care of others, and find strength and healing, we pray:

5. For our departed brothers and sisters, that the Lord may welcome them into his eternal home, where there is peace and joy without end,
we pray:

6. For all of us gathered here, that we may continue to grow as missionary disciples—ready to listen, ready to serve, and ready to go out and bring Christ’s love to others, we pray:

Loving Father, you sent your Son, Jesus, to walk with us and show us the way. Stay close to us as we journey together. Open our hearts to listen, strengthen our hands to serve, and send us out to share your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Reading 1
Acts 2:14a, 36-41
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven,
raised his voice, and proclaimed:
"Let the whole house of Israel know for certain
that God has made both Lord and Christ,
this Jesus whom you crucified."

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart,
and they asked Peter and the other apostles,
"What are we to do, my brothers?"
Peter said to them,
"Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins;
and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For the promise is made to you and to your children
and to all those far off,
whomever the Lord our God will call."
He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them,
"Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
Those who accepted his message were baptized,
and about three thousand persons were added that day.

Reading 2
1 Peter 2:20b-25
Beloved:
If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good,
this is a grace before God.
For to this you have been called,
because Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.
He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.

When he was insulted, he returned no insult;
when he suffered, he did not threaten;
instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly.
He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross,
so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness.
By his wounds you have been healed.
For you had gone astray like sheep,
but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

Alleluia
John 10:14
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;
I know my sheep, and mine know me.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel
John 10:1-10
Jesus said:
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate
but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.
But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice,
as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has driven out all his own,
he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him,
because they recognize his voice.
But they will not follow a stranger;
they will run away from him,
because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."
Although Jesus used this figure of speech,
the Pharisees did not realize what he was trying to tell them.

So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you,
I am the gate for the sheep.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers,
but the sheep did not listen to them.
I am the gate.
Whoever enters through me will be saved,
and will come in and go out and find pasture.
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;
I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."

PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

Lectionary: 43

Reading 1
Acts 2:42-47
They devoted themselves
to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life,
to the breaking of bread and to the prayers.
Awe came upon everyone,
and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
All who believed were together and had all things in common;
they would sell their property and possessions
and divide them among all according to each one’s need.
Every day they devoted themselves
to meeting together in the temple area
and to breaking bread in their homes.
They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,
praising God and enjoying favor with all the people.
And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
kept in heaven for you
who by the power of God are safeguarded through faith,
to a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the final time.
In this you rejoice, although now for a little while
you may have to suffer through various trials,
so that the genuineness of your faith,
more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire,
may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor
at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Although you have not seen him you love him;
even though you do not see him now yet believe in him,
you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Gospel
John 20:19-31
On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve,
was not with them when Jesus came.
So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
But he said to them,
“Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands
and put my finger into the nailmarks
and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Now a week later his disciples were again inside
and Thomas was with them.
Jesus came, although the doors were locked,
and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples
that are not written in this book.
But these are written that you may come to believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

9. Have mercy on our parish family, and, in communion with the
Archdiocese of Tuguegarao, lead us along the path of missionary
conversion, that we may become a Church that listens, goes forth,
and makes your mercy alive in every community, we pray:
Eternal Father,
you reveal the immeasurable depths of your mercy
in the Heart of your Son.
Strengthen us as a people who journey together in faith,
that we may never cease to trust in your love,
and may become instruments of your mercy in the world.
Through Christ our Lord.
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Accept, O Lord, we pray,
the oblations of your people
(and those you have brought to new birth),
that, renewed by confession of your name and by Baptism,
they may attain unending happiness.
Through Christ our Lord

Good Friday Celebration

“Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit.” (Luke 23:46)

Today, we gather in solemn reflection as one community of faith to commemorate the Passion and Death of our Lord, Jesus Christ. In silence and reverence, we are reminded of the depth of His love—a love poured out on the Cross for our salvation.

As part of this sacred celebration, seven young professionals have been chosen to reflect on the Seven Last Words of Jesus, sharing insights that inspire faith, humility, and renewal:

1. Ma'am Chairmane Olga Soria
2. Ma'am Marey Q. Arreola
3. Sir Dariel James Javier
4. Ma'am Nicole Marie Mendoza Marcelino
5. Atty. Roshelle Urbi
6. Atty. Jamaica Indira Israel Ordillo
7. Bro Jomar Siriban

Through their reflections, may we be drawn closer to the heart of Christ and find meaning in His sacrifice.

Let us pause, pray, and remember—His love endures forever.
