Almighty and Everlasting God, Who hast given unto us, Thy servants, grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the Eternal Trinity and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity, we beseech Thee that Thou wouldst keep us steadfast in this faith and evermore defend us from all adversities; Who livest and reignest, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Old Testament Reading (TLH): Ezek. 18:30-32
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God . “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God . “Therefore turn and live!”

First Reading: Rom. 11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! “For who has known the mind of the Lord ? Or who has become His counselor?” “Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?” For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Second Reading: John 3:1-15
3 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Collect
Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that like as we do believe Thine Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to have ascended into the heavens, so may we also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with Him continually dwell; Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end. Amen.

Old Testament Reading (TLH): Is. 57:15
For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

First Reading: Acts 1:1-11
1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

P: || Alleluia! You have ascended on | high, | - You have led captivity captive. | Al- | le- | lu- | ia! (Psalm 47:5; 68:18a)

Second Reading: Mark 16:14-20
Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

The congregation of Magnificat Lutheran Church rejoices this Easter Sunday, celebrating the victory of our Lord over death and the growth of His Church through the Word and Sacraments.

Today, we were privileged to witness the Holy Spirit at work in our youth through Holy Baptism and the Rite of Confirmation.

The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
We welcome Juaquin into the family of God. Through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, he has been claimed as a child of the Heavenly Father and united with Christ in His death and resurrection.

"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." — Romans 6:4

The Rite of Confirmation

We also celebrate with Samuelle and Keyana, who today made a public confession of the faith into which they were baptized. Having been instructed in the Holy Scriptures and the Small Catechism, they have stood before the altar to receive the Lord’s blessing and the invitation to the Lord's Table.

"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life." — Revelation 2:10

The Church of the Augustana in Southeast Asia joins Magnificat Lutheran Church in praying for Juaquin, Samuelle, and Keyana. May the Lord who began this good work in them bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of our Lord, marking the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.

Just as the star led the wise men to the Savior, may the light of Christ guide our hearts and homes throughout the coming year.

We celebrate that the Light of the World has come for all nations!

"When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him." — Matthew 2:10-11

"​And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb."

— Luke 2:21

​On this first day of the new year, the eighth day after Christmas, we commemorate the Circumcision of our Lord. Today, the Creator submits to the Law He established.

We witness the first shedding of His precious blood—a foreshadowing of the Cross—proving His true humanity and His total commitment to our salvation.

​As He fulfills the Old Covenant on this day, He opens the door to the New. We also celebrate the bestowal of His Holy Name: Jesus, the name at which every knee shall bow.

May we begin this year in humble obedience to His will, just as He began His earthly life in obedience for us.

Keeping watch in the quiet beauty of this night. 🕯️ Finding peace, hope, and the true meaning of the season at the Christmas Eve vigil at Magnificat Lutheran Church. May the light of the world shine in all our hearts tonight. ✨🙏

"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." — John 1:14 📖

​Today, our hearts were full as we spent time with the wonderful children of St. Mary’s in Navotas. In the midst of the Christmas rush, visiting these little ones reminded us of the greatest gift of all: God’s grace come to earth in the form of a child.

​It was a privilege to share gifts, laughter, and the story of Jesus’ birth with our neighbors. Seeing the joy on their faces is a beautiful reminder that Christ’s light shines brightly in every corner of our community. 🌟
