⛪️ Pentecost Sunday
🗓️ May 24, 2026 - 6:00 pm
📖 John 20:19-23
📍Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel

I said mass last night, and my voice was a little bit hoarse, and some people are saying, "Father, paos na kayo." I just came from a pilgrimage, 17 days, where the temperature is from -2 to 15 and feels like 12. At pag-landing mo sa Pilipinas, 42. Talagang magbabago ang boses mo. Thank you for your concern.

Second, because I posted something on Facebook, there were so many questions. I think I have triggered some emotions that angered some people, and yesterday, I said in the homily that you cannot prevent people from leaving the church. Hopefully, you are not the reason. And one of the comments said, "Sana hindi pari ang dahilan kung bakit umaalis ang tao sa simbahan." Baka ako ang pinaparinggan niya.

Well, sasagutin ko kayo, and I want you to remember this. I want you to understand this. If the priest is the reason for the faithful to leave the Church because of his sin and wrongdoing, he will go to hell. He will suffer for it. St. Thomas Aquinas has said this in one of his visions: "I saw priests and bishops in hell." So if the priest is the reason for others to leave the Church because of their wrongdoing, be assured the priest will suffer in hell. But if you leave the Church because the priest was correcting you and you don't want to be corrected, I assure you, you will go to hell. Seriously, you will go to hell.

One sin that cannot be forgiven is the sin against the Holy Spirit, and what is that? The refusal to be corrected. If you receive the Spirit, you live in the truth. You live according to the ways of God, not according to anyone else. Live in the truth. If you receive the Spirit, your sin convicts you, and you are enticed. You are drawn to repentance. That's a clear sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit. You live in the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts. Some people avoid the truth because they are not comfortable with it. If you sin, then the Spirit will convict you and draw you to repentance.

Remember this. Keep this in mind again. If God will not spare the priests and bishops He's ordained, do you think He will spare any layperson who sins? If God did not spare bishops and priests, sending them to hell because of their sin, do you think a senator, a congressman, or a corrupt official will be spared? Gising.

Yes, this is very true that we have a God of mercy, but do not forget, He is also a God of justice. "Father, maliit lang naman ang ninakaw ko." Ang maliliit na marami ay malaki rin 'yon. Kaya nga binibiro ko kayo. Mahirap na nakapila ka sa impiyerno. At magkukuwentuhan kayo. Sasabihin niya, "Ikaw, ano ang dahilan kung bakit napunta sa impiyerno?" "Nangbabae ako." "Ikaw?" "Nanglalaki ako." "Ikaw?" "Nanggalaw ako ng bata." "Ikaw?" “Tumanggap ako ng lagay." Tapos titingin sa iyo, "Ikaw, bakit ka napunta sa impiyerno?" "Nag-uwi ako ng coupon bond." Ginamit mo yung coupon bond, nag-print ka ng assignment ng anak mo. Uy, isang piraso lang naman, Father. Hindi ako nagsoli ng payong.

Noong kamakailan, may naghulog ng fake na dollars sa koleksyon. Oo. Tinabi namin. Ang tanong ko: ano kaya ang dahilan kung bakit siya naghulog ng fake na dollars? We will be held accountable for the things we have done. Huwag niyo itong kakalimutan ulit. Kasi mahilig tayo sa good thoughts. "Don't worry, it's the thought that counts." Narinig niyo na 'yon?

"Hindi ako nakasimba. Gusto ko, kaya lang hindi ko nakasimba." "Don't worry, it's the thought that counts." "Gusto kong magbigay, kaya lang hindi ko nakapagbigay." "Don't worry, it's the thought that counts." Basahin niyo kung nasa Bibliya yung thoughts. You will not go to heaven by having a good thought. Utot mo. Pagka minsan, gusto niyo si Father pa-cute lang. Ayaw niyang sabihin sa inyo ang dapat ninyong marinig. Truth. You will be convicted of sin so that you will repent.

Third, you should change your life for the better. Sino ba sa atin ang hindi nakakamali? Lahat ay nagkakamali. Lahat ay nagkasala. Pero hindi lahat ng nagkamali ay nagkasala. Pero lahat ng nagkasala ay nagkamali. Tandaan niyo ‘yon. Kaya, kapag ikaw ay nagkamali, ayusin mo. Pag nagkasala ka, baguhin mo. "Ano bang pinagkaiba nun, Father?

Anong magandang example diyan?" Daldal ka nang daldal. Nagtimpla ka ng kape. Pumunta ka sa dispenser. Nilagyan mo ng tubig. Noong hinahalo mo, hindi matunaw. Mali ang nilagay mo. Kasalanan ba ‘yon? Hindi, may tawag dun. Ang tawag dun, nagkamali. Yung nag-isip, tatanga-tanga, kayo ang nagkasala. Mabilis kayong maghusga. Oh, naintindihan niyo na. Mangumpisal kayo bukas. Nagkakamali tayo.

Tanggapin niyo, hindi tayo perpekto. Yes, the Heavenly Father urged us to be perfect, but we will never be perfect. St. John Marie Vianney has said this: "The moment you become perfect, you will die." Why? Because the world cannot contain a perfect person. But if you pursue perfection, later on, you will be able to embrace excellence. As you try to be perfect, you will never become perfect, but at least you will become excellent. Become a better person today than yesterday.

You live in peace. Kaya nga mahalagang mahalaga yung peace be with you. Hindi natin pinapansin. Pag sinabing, "Let us now bless each other by giving each other a sign of peace." Sinong tinutunguhan? Peace, peace ka nang peace, peace. Natalsikan na ng laway ang katabi mo. Umuwi tuloy na may sakit. Nahawa. Tingnan mo sa mata. Pag walang nakatingin, huwag kang tutungo. Tingnan mo, antayin mo. Pero pagkaaway mo ang katabi mo, nakita mo na lahat maliban siya.

Bakit mahalaga ‘yon? Ano ang sabi ng Diyos sa kanyang mga apostoles? “In any house you enter, you greet them with peace." Hindi sinabi ng Diyos, "Pagalingin mo. Gumaling ka nawa, yumaman ka nawa, gumanda ka nawa.” Ang sabi lang ay, "Nawa ang kapayapaan ay manahan sa tahanan mo." At kung hindi karapat-dapat ang nakatira, ang kapayapaang ibinigay mo babalik sa iyo. So, huwag kang matakot bumati. Yung feeling mo, hindi karapat-dapat yung katabi mo. Damihan mo. Peace, peace. Balik lahat sa iyo ’yon. Sa iyo lang, akin, peace. Kaya pala tuwang-tuwang bumati.

Peace is not the absence of war. Peace is the presence of God. Kaya nga sana pag uwi niyo mamaya, because it's Pentecost, the first thing you will be doing the moment you enter your home, you will say the prayer, "May the peace of the Lord reign in this house." Sigurado ako, pag-uwi niyo, makakalimutan niyo 'yan. The reign of the Lord will be peace. Magkakabaliktad-baliktad ‘yan. Tandaan ninyo, may the peace of the Lord reign in this house.

Dahil kahit ano ang problema, kahit ano ang karamdaman, kahit gaano kasalat, kung kayo ay payapa, maayos ang buhay. Kung gusto mo ang Tagalog, nawa ang kapayapaan ng Diyos ay manahan sa tahanang ito. Pero, ang malaking pero, pagkatapos ng misa, kakain ka muna kung saan. Doon mananahan ang kapayapaan. Kasi talaga ang pagsisimba natin, segunda na lang eh. Ang dahilan talaga, gigimik eh. Kakain tayo. Total mamaya pa naman, magsimba muna. Next year na lang. Next year niyo na lang gawin yung prayer. Hari nawa’y buhay pa kayo.

I'm not kidding. Seriously. The problem is we don't want to live in the truth. We don't want to correct what is wrong. We don't want to improve our lives. Gusto nating sila ay magbago; huwag tayong magbabago. Kaya wala tayong kapayapaan sa buhay natin. Do not forget the second reading that the Spirit was given in service of the church. Don't be afraid to ask. Don't be afraid to bless anyone.

It is not by accident. You don't believe this, that it is not by accident you are seated with somebody you do not know. Nothing happens by accident. If you bless the person rightly, you might be healing the person, or you might be giving the person the courage to move on in life. You might be blessing the person. You might be opening the heart of the person, for it has been closed for a time because they have been hurt. The lock was on the door when Jesus entered. But you have to understand this: it's easier to enter a locked door than a closed heart.

Going back to what I've said, do not forget this. If God did not spare bishops and priests from going to hell because of their sins, do you think you're able to escape from it? Kung hindi pinagkait ng Diyos ang impiyerno sa mga obispo't pari na nagkasala, ikaw pa kaya? Maganda pag nilayan 'yon.

Anuman ang iyong katungkulan, anuman ang iyong posisyon, gaano ka man kahamak, kagaano ka man kadakila sa mundong ito, huhusgahan tayo sa uri ng pamumuhay na ating isinagawa. Hopefully, we live in the truth. We correct what is wrong in our lives. We become a better person. We live in peace by doing the will of God. And let all these things be a desire in our hearts because the Spirit was given that we may praise God and do His will.

PRIORITIZE LATER - Homily by Fr. Dave Concepcion on May 25, 2026 at Greenbelt Chapel, Sto. Niño de Paz

25/05/2026

Homily Transcription by Fr. Dave Concepcion
⛪️ Vigil of Pentecost
🗓️ May 23, 2026 - 6:00 pm
📖 John 7:37-39
📍Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel

Pentecost literally means fifty. The fifty. Many people thought that Pentecost means the coming of the Holy Spirit. The word Pentecost literally means fifty. On the 50th day. From where? From the day of the resurrection, you count it: it's 50 days, where the apostles, as they spoke before the people, the people from different countries were able to understand them. It is not about the one who proclaimed, but it is the one who hears. The apostles were speaking in Greek or in Hebrew, and yet the people who were listening to them were able to understand them.

Even though the Gospel said the spirit was not yet with them, but within the 50 days, you have heard already for the past several days that the spirit has already manifested itself to people, bringing conversion, allowing them to experience miracles, and allowing them to experience healing. The first Christians, the families are baptized, not only the adults, but also including children. That is the manifestation.

What is the first reading trying to tell us? It is a renewal that allows people to dream dreams. Magkaroon ka muli ng panibagong pag-asa. Kapag minsan 'pag punong-puno tayo ng problema, nawawalan tayo ng pag-asa. Sabi nila, "Habang may buhay, may pag-asa." Pero ang totoo, habang may pag-asa, may buhay. Sapagkat 'pag nawala ang pag-asa, the moment you remove hope, then there's no reason to live. Why do people commit su***de? Because they have lost hope. Why do people stop dreaming? Because they have lost hope. Why do people stop striving? Because they have lost hope.

The first reading reminds us that the coming of the Spirit gives us hope. We can dream dreams again. We can aspire again. Things will happen, not according to our wishes, but according to the grace of God. What is a simple manifestation of the Holy Spirit? A person with a spirit, number one, is a person made aware of his sin and led to repentance. A person who has the spirit becomes aware of sin and turns away from sin by repenting from his sin.

What is the sad story? Many of us have lost the sense of sin. Parang hindi na natin alam ang kasalanan. 'Pag may ginawa tayong kasalanan, naghahanap na tayo ng dahilan. O, sinisisi natin ang ibang tao, kaya natin ginagawa ang kasalanan. Sila nga eh, 'di ba? Hindi. Para yang bata na pinapagalitan ng nanay, “Anak, bakit ka naman bagsak?” Ano ang sagot ng bata, "Ma, 'wag ka nang magalit. Marami naman kami." Yan ang problema. Nagsisimba, pero nawala ang awareness sa kasalanan dahil iyon daw ang ginagawa ng karamihan.

Second, if the Spirit is in you, you live in the truth. Nabubuhay ka sa katotohanan. Hindi sa tsismis, hindi sa kung anu-anong chika. Nabubuhay ka sa katotohanan. Sabi ng isang katekista, nagulat ako. Sabi niya, "Father, natatakot ako na pagdating ng araw, ang tama ngayon ay mali na bukas at ang mali ngayon ay tama na bukas." The predicament of a catechist. That whatever you think is right today might be wrong in the future, and what is wrong today will be accepted as right in the future. And I simply said, "Truth is never about facts. Facts can be changed, but the truth we are talking about is Jesus." I am the way and the truth and the life. Jesus will never change.

Why did Jesus ascend to heaven? One simple answer, that He will sit at the right hand of the Father, so He will judge the living and the dead. He will judge whether you live in the truth or in lies. Totoo ba 'yan? Totoo ba ang iyong mga pagluha o pang-camera lang? Naiinis tayo. Ngayon lang ako nakadinig. Galing ako sa pilgrimage. Binabantayan ko naman ang balita sa Pilipinas. Mambabatas ka. Lumuluha ka dahil walang nagkumusta sa iyo. Ano ba naman 'yan? Kumusta ka. Ni hindi mo nga kami kinukumusta? Ang hirap. Very entitled. You are voted so that you will serve, not to demand. Live in the truth.

Third, if you have the spirit, then you become a better person today than yesterday. You try to become a better person. Kung pitong araw kang nagchismis, hari nawa, lima na lang. Pag limang araw ka na nagi-chismis, sabihin mo, "Kota na ako, kota na ako." Sa Lunes ka na ulit magtanong. Yung mga tsismosa, tsismoso. Ano ang simula ng kanilang salita? "May sasabihin ako. Ating-atin lang." Chismis yan.

Ito ang tandaan ninyo. Tuwing palitan ng assignment, palaging may lumalapit sa pari. "Alam mo, Father..." Anong sagot ko diyan? "Huwag ho kayong magkuwento sa akin. Huwag kayong magtsismis. Sa pagkat alam ko, pag-alis ko, i-chichismis niyo rin ako." “Huwag kayong maniwala; atin-atin lang iyan.” Kaya nga, chismis. Ako, pag gusto kong mabilis ang balita, sinasabi ko, "Uy, atin lang. Pakisabi." Kakalat agad 'yon. At ang malungkot na katotohanan, sorry ha, bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan, buti nga.

Ang pinakamaraming tsismoso ay nasa simbahan. Napakadami. Nawala ang anak ng aking kapatid. Siyempre, natakot kaming nawala sa Megamall. Iyak nang iyak. Nalakad ko simula basement hanggang fifth floor. Parang hindi ka napapagod. Naghahanap ka ng karayom sa dayamihan. Yung aking mga kapatid ay nasa mga pinto. Baka lumabas.

Alam niyo, pagkatapos ng isang buwan, may tumawag sa parokya. Sabi, "Kayo po si Father Dave?" "Opo." Sabi niya, "Kabata 'nyong pari, kaka-ordain niyo lang. Hindi na kayo nahiya. May kasama kayong babae na umiiyak sa mall. Nabuntisan niyo siguro." Grabe. Sabi ko, "Taga-saan ho kayo?" Tinatawagan niya ako. Nasa Taguig ako noon. "Taga-saan ho kayo?" Sabi, taga-Alabang ako. Alam ko kung anong nangyayari. Sabi ko, "Ang galing niyo. Yung babae, yun kapatid ko. Nawawala ang pamangkin namin." "Ay, sorry, Father." Alam ko na ho kung saan kayo pupulutin pag kayo ay namatay. Napaka-tsismoso. Pinagmamalaki pa, naglilingkod siya sa simbahan.

You must be aware of sin and turn away from sin. You live in the truth. You make your life better today than yesterday. You improve. You are the source of peace and not division. Kung kayo po ay pinananahanan ng Espiritu Santo, hindi kayo dahilan ng hidwaan ng ibang tao. Palagi ko po itong sinasabi. Ang alin? Hindi niyo mapipigilan ang taong umalis sa simbahan. You cannot prevent people from leaving the church. Some people leave the church, and you cannot prevent them from leaving the church. But hopefully, you are not the reason for them to leave the church.

Mahirap yung nakaupo tayong ganyan. Feeling natin tayo ang may-ari ng upuan. Naka-ilang parokya na ako. The same ang sakit ng maraming nagsisimba. Ano yun? Feeling niya, kaniyang upuan ’yan. Kamakailan dito, may nag-away. Sinigawan ng isang matanda, "Akin ‘yan." "Ha?" Sabi ko. "Hindi ko alam na nabili niya ‘yan. Pang-apat na taon ko na ito. Hindi naman ako nagbebenta ng upuan. Paano napunta sa kaniya ‘yan?" "Hindi na ako magsisimba diyan, Father." Well, it's a sad story. We are so entitled.

To live in the Spirit is to live in peace. And if you read the letter of Paul to the Galatians, you will find the fruit of the Spirit. And you ask yourself, "Nabubuhay ba ako sa pag-ibig? Nabubuhay ba ako sa kapayapaan? Nabubuhay ba ako, sabi nga, sa kahinahunan?” Gentleness or meekness. Meekness is not a sign of weakness. Meekness is strength under control. Ang pagiging mahinahon.

Nagmisa ako sa isang parokya. Naku, sikip na sikip ang parking. Kaya sabi ko pagkatapos ng misa, sa final blessing, sabi ko, "Sana walang nag-aaway pagkatapos ng misa dahil sa parking." Lo and behold, meron. Bakit? Natatagalan siya doon sa isang umaalis. Busina ng busina. Para kayong nagmamadaling mamatay. Ask yourself, mayroon bang pagbabago sa buhay mo kumpara noon at ngayon?

Have you become a better person? Ask yourself. Naging mas mabuting asawa ka ba? Naging mas mabuting anak ka ba? Naging mas mabuting kapatid ka ba? Magsimula tayo sa tahanan. Sapagkat kung ano ang inaasal natin sa lipunan, sumasalamin lang ’yan sa ating relasyon sa loob ng tahanan. Inuulit ko po. Kung anuman ang inaasal natin sa lipunan, salamin lang ’yan ng inuugali natin sa loob ng sarili nating tahanan.

Before we talk of a better world, let us first talk of how we can make a better family. Without a better family, there's no better church, and there's no better world. The Spirit was given so that we may live a life pleasing to God. And this is our prayer, "Lord, make my life pleasing to you."

Going back to what I've said, to have the Spirit is to live in the truth, being aware of sin, turning away from sin, living in peace, living in communion, and hopefully, our lives become better today than yesterday.

I made a screenshot of some messages flooding my page using the word “SELECTIVE” and not speaking about the “FLOOD CONTROL CORRUPTION” which i talked about in many of my homilies. Either they don’t go to Church or not Catholics. Kaya nga ang panawagan ay para sa mga KATOLIKO at MABUTING TAO.

Homily Transcription by Fr. Dave Concepcion
⛪️ Thursday of the Fourth Week of Easter
🗓️ April 30, 2026 - 6:00 pm
📖 John 13:16-20
📍Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel

You have noticed perhaps the change of tone. Before, Jesus would always say, "If you believe me, you believe the one who sent me." But in today's gospel, "If you believe in the one I send, you receive me." Look at the focus from the Father to the Son, to the disciples. Let me repeat it. If you believe me, you believe the one who sent me. If you receive the one I send, you receive me. Why? Because we all know that later on, Jesus has to go. Despite the resurrection, he has to leave us in ascension so that he can send the Holy Spirit. And through the Holy Spirit, he will send his disciples to us, among us, and it might be you being sent.

What is in the first reading? And this is the problem. Sometimes we question who God has sent. This is the common problem, not sometimes, but most of the time, we question who God has sent. Pinapaliwanag sa unang pagbasa na sadya namang hindi maayos lahat ng puwedeng ipadala ng Diyos. Bakit? In every Simbang Gabi, you have heard the genealogy of Jesus, the history of his descendants, that it is clear that not all his relatives are good. Hindi lahat ng kanyang mga ninuno ay maayos.

Ang sinasabi ng unang pagbasa: hindi rin lahat ng pinapadala ng Diyos ay maayos. Pero wala 'yon sa pinapadala. Ang may problema ay sa tumatanggap. Because if you reject the one being sent out because of your biases, then the problem is in you. Mahirap 'yung namimili tayo kung sino ang pinapadala ng Diyos. At kahit pag kaminsan, tayo rin. 'Pag tayo ang pinapadala, ang tanong mo rin, "Bakit ako?" Lalong lalo na pag ayaw mo 'yung pupuntahan mo.

Sa isang diyosesis, nag-rigodon. Ano ang ibig sabihin ng rigodon? Nagpalitan ng assignment. Dati, ang ginagawa niyan, binabasa 'yung assignment sa Chrism Mass. Alam niyo, tinigil na 'yon. Bakit? Kasi kawawa ang pari. Kasi maganda 'yung pag binasa, "Ah, sa Greenbelt, si ganun." Tuwang-tuwa. Pero 'pag ayaw nila, "Sa Greenbelt, si ganun." Kawawa yung pari 'noh? Hindi ka pa nalilipat. Alam mo, hindi ka tanggap, 'di ba?

Pero 'pag pinagpapari ka naman, ayaw mo naman. Kahit pagbiro ko 'yang sinasabi. Kung may boyfriend kang gwapo, mabait, matalino, madasalin, pagpariin mo. Huwag naman, Father? Kahit na mga magulang, 'pag sinabi mo, “Nay, puwedeng magpari 'yang anak mo.” Huwag naman? Bakit naman Father? Sayang. Sayang pag para sa Diyos? Bakit naman sayang? Ano palagi sagot, “Pogi eh. Bakit? Pangit ba kami?" I'm not kidding.

Alam po ninyo, bago tanggapin ang seminarista, magpapasukan na, pinupuntahan ng mga pari yung bahay ng seminarista. Kasi yung iba sa kanila ay hindi pa nagpapaalam. Alam po ninyo, galit na galit ang maraming magulang. Minsan nakapunta ako. Sabi ng tatay, "Pag pumasok ang Father, nanarilin kita. Sasabihin ko lang naman, nag-apply ang anak ninyo sa seminaryo. Mamamatay pa ako."

Why? That's a big question, why? Why can we not accept that we are the ones being sent? Why can't you accept that your children, your son, your daughter, are being called to the vocation? Why? Alam po ninyo, ’yan po ang malaking kapital Y. Bakit nga ba? Tapos 'pag walang pari, magrereklamo kayo. 'Pag matanda na ang pari, nagrereklamo kayo. Sorry, lalong-lalo na 'pag bumbay, 'di mo maiintindihan yung salita. Kasi kulang. Kulang. Ayaw nating magbigay. Namimili tayo.

Dito nga may nag sabi, "Father, pagpariin mo naman itong anak ko. Ayaw magtrabaho." Naku, ‘yan pa ang gagawin mong pari: ayaw magtrabaho. Anong klaseng pari yan? O kaya, "Father, pagpariin mo nga ito babaero. Bibigyan mo pa ng problema ang simbahan?" I hope you're getting the point. If you are called, say yes. You cannot question why, because it is God who sent. And if you are received, you are not only being received, God is being received through you. Yes, you can be rejected. But if you are rejected, remember this: they are also rejecting God.

No one is good enough to be called. But no one is bad enough to be called. Walang karapat-dapat. Pero wala ring hindi karapat-dapat sa mga pinipili ng Diyos. Do not forget this. Regardless, I hope you pray that you are willing to be sent. Father, I'm too old to become a priest. Well, maybe not the priesthood. Remember this: Abraham was called and sent by God at the age of 75. Can you imagine that? Baka hinintay ka lang mag-retire ng Diyos bago ka tawagin. But I hope you are willing to be called.

Again, no one is worthy among us. But hopefully, it will be a joy if you are called to serve. Nobody is worthy, but hopefully, it will be a joy if you are being called to serve. Hindi lahat ng gusto natin ay tinatawag, pero hindi rin lahat ng ayaw natin ay hindi tinatawag. Minsan yung ayaw mo yung tinatawag eh. 'Wag mong kakalimutan. Those who receive me, receive the one who sent me. And through the mouth of Jesus, those who receive I have sent, receive me. Please pray about this. It might be you, it might be your children, it might be you. I do not know. But please, do not be afraid to be called. Do not be afraid to be sent.
