Reflection by Kuya Venie

Often times, we base the intensity of our works and actions based on the rewards and consequences we receive. However, in times when we do horrible things in our own volition, often times we are afraid to face thr repercussions and consequences of these actions. Which often times leads us to despair.

When Christ rose from the dead, He went to see His apostles, the same apostles who abandoned Him in His sorrows. Yet, instead of wrath or disappointment, His first words for them was “Peace be with you”. Words that clearly manifests God’s love and mercy. Words that certainly touched the hearts of the despairing apostles with a sense of hope. Indeed, willing “peace” to those who caused you pain is mercy.

One of the greatest manifestations of love is mercy. And Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection is the ultimate manifestation and glorification of Gods love to all humanity. Christ endured humiliation, pain, and sorrows. He experienced all kinds of human afflictions on the cross, that through this, the mercy of God, like a vast ocean, gushed forth for the thirsty souls of man.

For the sake of His sorrowful passion, Have mercy on us and of the whole word.

And for that, may God be praised!

Reflection by Kuya Venie

From the fall of Adam, to the time of Abraham, to the time of Moses, to the time of the Prophets, and to the time of the great Kings, one thing remained consistent. That the love of God will endure, and the love that the Father manifests and teaches through the Son is a sacrificial kind of Love. As if throughout the ages, God is telling us that if you want to love someone, it entails sacrifice.

The Lord Jesus, throughout His earthly journey spoke only about love and its sacrificial nature, although, as the heart of man struggles to understand what He is teaching, He remained persistent and persevered to demonstrate such love to the point of death on a cross. That through that very act of selflessness and obedience, He was exalted and glorified.

The empty tomb is the greatest manifestation of the exaltation and glory given to Christ. That in the darkness and silence of the tomb, came the light and joy of His resurrection.

The bitterness of the cross, was replaced by sweet triumph of the resurrection.

Christ broke the prison bars of death, and the trumpet of salvation was heard all throughout creation.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

And for that, May God be praised

Oɴ тнe Seveɴтн Dαy, He reѕтed
Reflection by Kuya Venie

On the story of creation, after the Lord created and saw everything was good, He rested and made the seventh day Holy. For the Jewish people, as they were governed by the Mosaic Law, they keep the sabbath Holy by abstaining all sorts of work.

However, in scripture, Jesus was always confronted by the Pharisees and Religious leaders for not observing the custom of resting. Instead, he healed people on the Sabbath, emphasizing the significance of doing good works, even on the day of rest.

When Jesus cried “It is finished” and surrendered His life to the hands of the Father, He was laid on a tomb and it was sealed. However, while His mother, along with His followers waited in silence and sorrows, yet in hope for His resurrection, tradition says that it was during the Sabbath of His death, the Lord descended into hell to proclaim the gospel to those who has already passed preceding the coming of Christ (1 Peter 4:5-6).

Christ was obedient to the point death, yet through His death, Salvation came forth to Adam and His descendants.

Let us meditate in silence and grief of His death, yet let us meditate also in the hope og His Rising.

And for that, May God be praised

Reflection by Kuya Venie

When the Israelites cursed God, they were infested with venomous serpents. However, when they repented, God instructed Moses to craft a bronze image of a serpent, and who ever took a glance at the serpent with belief, lived and did not die.

The reason why the Israelites cursed God is due to their impatience and ingratitude while on the journey towards the promised land. A notion which was reflected upon their sentiments that they would rather be slaves in Egypt than be journeying in the wilderness.

In our own life journey, we often encounter discomfort and struggles, which sometimes makes us feel weary, frustrated, and impatient, which then makes us irritable and impulsive, leading us to be ungrateful and arrogant, which then branches off to pride and disobedience, then eventually to sin, or spiritual death.

The serpents bit those who did not wanted to follow the path which God prepared, but as the bronze serpent was lifted up in the desert, the Son of Man was also lifted up to bring forth life and healing to who would look at Him and believe in Him.

Like the bronze being molded in heat and hammer blows, Christ bore the suffering of those who strayed from the journey. He embraced the humiliation and pain, agony and loneliness, extreme misery and grief. He endured and became patient along the journey that His father prepared for Him.
Jesus, being true God, made Himself vulnerable for us and became Man. He took all the serpents’ bites that was meant for us.

Christ became obedient for us unto death, even unto death on a cross. And because of this, God greatly exalted Him.

And for that, may God be praised!

Reflection by Kuya Venie

At the table, Christ gave His command to love one another as He has loved them. A kind of love that sacrifices oneself for the other. A sacrificial type of love.

In the Jewish traditions, on the night at the beginning of Passover, they would do the traditional Passover seder. It is a form of ritual which involves the retelling of the story of how the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. This tradition is based on God’s command; “You shall tell your child on that day, saying, ’it is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt’”

In parallel to Christ’s last supper, as He and His disciples are lawful and faithful in practicing the Jewish faith, was also doing the rite. But in the midst of it, Christ instituted a new remembrance, an new mandate, unto which in this ritual, the world will be reminded of what the Lord has done for us when we came out of slavery from sin.

A reminder of the new and eternal covenant, not only for Jews, bur for everyone. That through the breaking of the bread, we are reminded of how Christ became obedient to the father’s will, letting His body be broken and His blood to be shed for the salvation of humanity.

To add to this, speaking more in a theological perspective, the bread and wine offered and consecrated in the last supper truly becomes the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus (John 6:53-57). Not a mere symbol, nor symbolic presence, but the real presence of our Lord, shrouded in the appearance of bread. Furthermore, Christ’s command to be remembered in such way, is not merely a symbolic reminder, but is mystical in nature which transcends time. Thus, fitting for adoration and worship.

As worship in its true nature and essence is sacrificial. Nothing that is created in the physical universes is worthy to be a sacrifice of atonement to God but He Himself, through Christ Jesus, who is true God and true man (Philippians 2:6-11). Thus, every bread and wine, consecrated in every eucharistic celebration, transubstantiate into the real presence of Jesus, the most fitting and worthy sacrifice to the Father, in memorial to what He has done for the world out of love (Luke 22:19-20).

Therefore, the eucharistic worship is a retelling of a love story. As the word “eucharist” translates into “thanksgiving”, we are reminded that on the night before Christ was betrayed, He gave thanks to the Father’s ultimate expression of love. A love that is so sweet, despite it being expressed in a way so bitter. A selfless love which says, this is my body, I offer it for you because I Love you.

O Sacrament most Holy Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine.

And for that, may God be praised.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺
Reflection by Ate Aya

The passage from Matthew 26:14-25 is a raw and innate exploration of the human heart, laid bare in its capacity for both state of connection and devastating betrayal. Reading these passages evokes a deep sense of truth about life that resonates with a timeless and often painful clarity of human relationships.

The story of Judas shows a definite picture that being close to someone doesn't automatically mean they'll be loyal. His deal to hand over Jesus, his own teacher, for a handful of silver coins, is a harsh reality. It reminds us that even the strongest friendships can break when someone puts their own interests first. As the saying goes, "the deepest wounds are inflicted by those we truly trust." All the time Judas spent with the other disciples, seeing miracles and hearing wise teachings, meant nothing with his greed. This betrayal teaches us that people's loyalty can change, and even our closest relationships can bring us pain.

On the other hand, Jesus quietly accepting his fate shows a deep understanding that things happen for a bigger reason. He knew this was a path he had to take, something planned beyond his immediate suffering. This reminded me that sometimes there are accidents in our life that we can't control, "sometimes we have to be completely shaken up, humbled, changed, and rearranged to relocate us to the place we are meant to be." The feeling that even in tough times, a larger purpose might be unfolding. However, Jesus reminded us with sorrowful words, "woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born," emphasize that even within a grand plan, our individual choices still matter. Life is our choices that show what we truly are.

Thinking deeply about these verses from Matthew, shows us the bitterness of betrayal, a hurt that goes deep and leaves lasting scars. But it also reveals the idea of destiny, the feeling that life often follows a plan bigger than we can understand. In the end, it pushes me to value trust, to realize how much my choices matter, and to cherish the moments of true relationships. I learn that even when love is present, betrayal can still happen, and the unfolding of destiny, though sometimes painful, might ultimately serve a greater purpose.

And for that, May God be praised!

Reflection by Ate Chie

Jesus was distressed as he sat with the disciples and warned that one of them would betray him. Simon Peter, asked Jesus about whom he was referring to. Jesus answered that after dipping the bread, He will give it to His betrayer. And so, Jesus gave it to Judas, and as soon as Satan entered Judas, Jesus told him "Hurry and do what you must!". The disciples didn't understand why. After Judas snatched the bread, he immediately departed. Since Judas had the money bag, some believed it was to buy food for the feast or to help the less fortunate.

Jesus then instructed his followers to seek him out and that he would only be with them for a short while longer. When Peter asked about where he was headed, Jesus said that Peter could not accompany him at this time but would do so later. Peter asked "Lord, why can't I follow You now? I am ready to die for you." Then Jesus answered, "Are you really ready to die for me? I am telling you, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

As human beings, we too have betrayed Jesus and those around us multiple times. We have broken bread with Jesus in the Eucharist, and then turned our back on Him by the way we treat those around us. But despite how many times we sin or betray Jesus, He will always forgive us because He loves us so much. The Lord Jesus waits for us to return to Him at all times! His mercy, forgiveness, and unwavering love are always waiting to embrace us once more. May we intentionally journey this path with Jesus going forward.

And for that, may God be praised!

Reflection by Kuya Austine

Six days before Jesus would die on the cross He went to the house of Lazarus who He recently raised from the dead. Lazarus' sister, Mary of Bethany, was present as well. This is the same Mary who sat at the feet of Jesus, while her sister Martha served the dinner. That was an act of devotion to Jesus on behalf of Mary, but today she shows us another level of her devotion to Jesus. With what is precious to her, she pours it out on Jesus' feet and wipes it away with her hair. What an unbelievable way of showing her love and devotion to Jesus.

Judas the Iscariot, then stands up asking "Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days' wages and given to the poor?" and Jesus rebukes him and defends Mary's act of devotion by saying "Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me." In this short interaction, Jesus reveals to us a very rich wisdom. There is no such thing that is too good for our Lord. Whatever is precious to us, our time, talent, and treasure - devoting these things to Him is right and just. We may misinterpret Jesus' reply as down playing our service to the poor, but that's not what He was doing. He wasn't downplaying the importance of caring for the poor, He was emphasizing the importance of offering acts of love and devotion to Him.

Brothers and Sisters, as we enter into this Holy week, let us ponder and meditate more on this scene where Mary offers up another extreme act of devotion to Jesus, and realize that the Lord is inviting us to do the same. We serve Christ through others in need, but on top of that, let us not forget to express our love to God through offering up acts of love and devotion to Him directly. Give your treasure to help build churches and communities that glorify our Lord. Offer up your talents in service. Spend more time with Him in prayers, picking up different devotionals like the Rosary or the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Or even literally spending more time with Him in the Mass or in Adoration.

Brothers and Sisters, let us take time during this Holy Week to renew our faith in the Lord. Let us open our hearts to the Lord's invitation of expressing deeper devotion and love to Him.

And for that may God be praised!

Reflection by Kuya Venie

Days before He suffered, the Son of man entered the Holy City while riding on a donkey as a fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy (Zechariah 9:9). The people welcomed Him with full might, waving palm leaves, singing songs pf praise which says “ Hosanna to the son of David!” And “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”. A fitting welcome for the King of Kings.

However, as the Jesus is divine, only He knows what was about to take place in the following days. He knows that these people are who sings “Hosanna!”, are the same people who will cry out His condemnation, “Crucify Him!”.

The Lord entered the Gates of Jerusalem as if a sheep entering willingly to the slaughter house. My feeble mind can only guess the thoughts that went through our Lord’s mind during these moments. I could only imagine, that as He knows what was about to happen through His divine thoughts, I also ponder that His Human thoughts experienced anxiety and trembling. But Christ, as a humble and obedient son to the Father, fulfilled the Father’s will to His death (Philippians 2:8). That through the Father’s love, and the obedient of His only son, the world was ransomed.

And for that, May God be praised!
