OMC leads the congregation in praising the Lord through music at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned, Sta. Elena, Marikina City during the 8:00PM Mass.

“Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.” ~John Denver

Men of diverse interests coming together may not be far-fetched but is not usual either. Here is

a group of young and not so young men of varied pursuits who have teamed up because of their common love for music.

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” ~Aldous Huxley

Through music, they have been able to communicate their love for the Almighty God who has always been acknowledged as the source of all that was, that is and that will be.

“I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.” ~Martin Luther

“There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is.” ~William P. Merrill

Join us and, together, we shall glorify the Lord.

When we face unanswered prayers, closed doors, or quiet moments in our spiritual lives, we are invited to stay close to Jesus. Like the Canaanite woman, persisting in trust transforms our trials into a deeper encounter with God's healing grace.

The Gospel emphasizes that navigating life's chaotic moments requires unwavering focus on Jesus, as illustrated by Peter's experience of sinking when fear replaced faith. The narrative highlights that even when confidence wavers, Jesus is immediately present to support those who cry out for help.

The disciples look at the massive crowd and see a problem of scarcity, urging Jesus to send the people away. Jesus looks at the same crowd and sees an opportunity for divine abundance. He challenges us to stop focusing on what we lack and start focusing on what God can do with what we have.

Finding God and knowing Christ brings a joy so deep that it outweighs all earthly possessions, just like the men who gladly sold everything to secure the treasure and the fine pearl.

Today’s Gospel reminds us to trust God's patience. Just as the landowner tells his servants to let the wheat and weeds grow together until the harvest, God refrains from making premature judgments. Instead of uprooting others, we are called to focus on cultivating grace within our own lives.

Jesus tells us the Word of God is like a seed. Its success depends entirely on the "soil" of our hearts. We are called to clear away life's distractions and cultivate fertile ground so God's message can grow and bear fruit.

When Jesus says, "Take my yoke upon you," He uses imagery of a wooden beam placed over oxen to share the weight of a heavy load. He is offering to walk with us, side-by-side, taking the bulk of the weight on His own shoulders. This rest isn't about being passive; it's about shifting our dependence. True peace is found when we admit we don't have all the answers and invite Christ to guide us with His "meek and humble" heart.
