MEMORY VERSE FOR SUNDAY, MAY 10, 2026
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)

There have been times in my life when I felt I had no name, no defender, and no home, and I lament.

Let me tell you about one of those times. I'm a deacon and had just returned home from a pastoral visit. I prayed over a dying father, held his family as they wept, spoke words of hope I wasn’t sure I felt myself, and I went home in silence after. I got to my front door but couldn’t go inside. I just sat on the stairs. The weight of their grief and my own loneliness was too heavy to bear. I gladly serve at the altar, but that night I asked, “God, who sees me? Who defends me when I’m the one who’s breaking?”

That is exactly the fear Jesus addresses in John 14:15-21. The disciples were about to watch Him die. Abandonment was choking the room. The panic of becoming an orphan was rising. But Jesus doesn’t rebuke them. Rather, He reassures them, saying: “I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you” (John 14:18). But look at how He starts: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). For a moment I heard that as pressure, as a threat. As if Jesus is saying, “Prove you love Me or I’ll leave.” But that night on the stairs the Spirit showed me: It’s not a condition, it’s a connection.

Love moves, I realized. When our hearts are troubled, obedience is how we take His hand in the dark. Not to earn His presence, but because His presence is already ours. If we keep His word — forgive, pray, stay faithful in the small things — we’ll see He never left, because He didn’t leave us with rules. He left us with the Holy Spirit: “... I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you for ever” (John 14:16). Not just as a guest who visits on Sundays, but someone who moves in.

So because of Him, listen: We’re not nameless. Our names are spoken by God. We’re not defenseless. We have an Advocate who fights for us in rooms we’ll never enter. We’re not homeless. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit make Their home in us. You see, John 14:15-21 isn’t about earning God’s presence by being perfect. It’s about realizing we already have it, because love for Christ moves us to obey, and obedience opens our eyes to see He’s been here all along.

So if we’re lamenting today, if we feel unseen in our serving, unnamed in our suffering, homeless in our own hearts, then hear the Word of the Lord: We’re not orphans. The Father calls us His, the Son is not ashamed of us, and the Advocate is in us. Amen.

MEMORY VERSE FOR SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2026
"... the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do...." (John 14:12)

Our Gospel reading for this Sunday, John 14:1-14, is part of Jesus’ “Farewell Discourse” in the Upper Room immediately after the Last Supper, offering comfort to the disciples before His crucifixion, addressing their fear, confusion, and anxiety regarding His imminent departure. Jesus calms the disciples' troubled hearts and reassures them that His departure is beneficial as He goes to prepare a place in His Father’s house and declares Himself as the exclusive path to God.

Our memory verse, taken from John 14:12, "Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father", is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the call to serve others in the name of Christ. Jesus is not saying that His disciples would do more amazing miracles – after all, raising the dead is about as amazing as we can get. Rather, the disciples, working in the power of the Holy Spirit, would carry the Gospel of God’s kingdom out of Palestine and into the whole world. The experiences of disciples and martyrs, known and unknown, are beautiful examples of how faith and service can intertwine to create a meaningful impact in the world.

Our community development work in the Philippines – a country where Christianity has deeply influenced our culture, values, and social structures aligns perfectly with this verse. The spread of Christianity to our country, which began in the 16th century through Spanish colonization and missionary efforts, has left a lasting legacy on the nation's identity, education, healthcare, and community life. Today, many churches and Christian organizations, like the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP) continue to play a vital role in social development, education, healthcare, and community empowerment.

How our work reflects John 14:12:

1. Empowerment through service: Our Community-Based Development Program (CBDP) of the ECP, which is managed by The Episcopal CARE Foundation, Inc, involves initiatives that uplift communities, such as poverty alleviation through organizational capacity enhancement, livelihood programs, caring for the environment through the participation of carbon offsetting projects like clean-up drives, tree planting, tree growing, organic farming and solar energy utilization, and spiritual guidance. These efforts can be a mirror of the “greater works” mentioned, as they reflect the ongoing mission of Christ to bring hope, healing, and transformation.

2. Building communities: By helping communities we are fostering unity, resilience, and spiritual growth. We are very active in organizing associations and cooperatives to bind people together in communities from all walks of life, such as farmers, fisherfolk, laborers, entrepreneurs, and professionals, encouraging them to share what they have to build capital for their organizations to create projects and opportunities for its members. When the organizations that we are assisting are operating on their own, that will be our “crown jewel” in our community development work. This aligns with the idea that faith is not just about personal salvation but also about serving others and building up the Body of Christ, "... to equip the saints for the work of ministry" (Ephesians 4:12). We also collaborate and have partnerships with existing church groups and organization to ensure that the program is culturally relevant and sustainable.

In summary, our journey in our community development work is a powerful testimony of John 14:12. Sharing these experiences may inspire others to get involved and deepen our faith. This is a living expression of the Gospel. By helping communities through church development programs, we are not only fulfilling the call but also continuing the legacy of faith that has shaped the nation. May our efforts bring light, hope, and transformation to those we serve. This also teaches us to trust and believe in Jesus, rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance, and live in love for others. These lessons continue to be relevant for believers today, offering comfort, direction, spiritual growth, and hope amidst the things that are happening that we can’t control. Jesus promises that believers will do His work – and even greater works – because He is going to the Father, and encouraging prayer in His name.

Today the Church remembers Philip and James, Apostles, called to follow Christ and to make him known.

In the Gospel, Philip asks Jesus to show them the Father. Jesus responds by pointing to himself, revealing that to know him is to know God. The calling of the apostles begins in this relationship, trusting Christ, learning from him and sharing his life with others.

As we remember Philip and James, we are invited to deepen our trust in Christ and to take part in the work of making his love known in the world.

Scripture reading: John 14:6–9, 12

‘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, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.

Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.”’

Prayer

Faithful God,
you make yourself known to us in Jesus Christ.
Deepen our trust in him
and guide us in the way that leads to life.
Strengthen us to share in the work of the Gospel,
that through our lives others may come to know your love.

Amen.

BIBLICAL TEXT
John 10:1-10
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

Jesus the Good Shepherd
1 ‘Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.’ 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7 So again Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

Juan 10:1-10
Magandang Balita Biblia (MBBTAG)

Ang Tunay na Pastol
1 “Tandaan ninyo ito: ang pumapasok sa kulungan ng mga tupa nang hindi sa pinto nagdaraan, kundi umaakyat sa di dapat pagdaanan ay magnanakaw at tulisan. 2 Ngunit ang nagdaraan sa pintuan ay siyang pastol ng mga tupa. 3 Pinapapasok siya ng bantay, at pinapakinggan ng mga tupa ang kanyang tinig. Tinatawag niya ang kanyang mga tupa sa kani-kanilang pangalan, at inilalabas sa kulungan. 4 Kapag nailabas na, siya'y nangunguna sa kanila at sumusunod naman ang mga ito sapagkat kilala nila ang kanyang tinig. 5 Hindi sila susunod sa iba, kundi tatakbong palayo, sapagkat hindi nila kilala ang tinig ng iba.”

6 Sinabi ni Jesus ang paglalarawang ito ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang ibig niyang sabihin.

Si Jesus ang Mabuting Pastol
7 Kaya't muling sinabi ni Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo: ako ang pintuang dinaraanan ng mga tupa. 8 Ang mga nauna sa akin ay mga magnanakaw at mga tulisan, ngunit hindi sila pinakinggan ng mga tupa. 9 Ako ang pintuan. Ang sinumang pumapasok sa pamamagitan ko'y maliligtas. Papasok siya't lalabas, at makakatagpo ng pastulan. 10 Dumarating ang magnanakaw para lamang magnakaw, pumatay, at manira. Naparito ako upang ang mga tupa ay magkaroon ng buhay, buhay na masaganang lubos.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Can you share a moment when someone helped you recognize God’s voice more clearly? What did that experience teach you?

2. Was there a moment when you felt distant from the Shepherd? What helped you return, and what lesson did you take from it?

3. Can you describe an experience you had when listening to Jesus led you to something better than you expected? What happened?

MEMORY VERSE FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
"Ako ang pintuan." (Juan 10:9)/"I am the gate." (John 10:9)

Mga kapatid, bago ako pumasok sa seminaryo at maging handang maglingkod, aminin ko sa inyo Ako rin ay naging "nawawalang tupa."

May mga panahon na parang naliligaw ako ng landas. May mga pagkakataon na pakiramdam ko ay malayo ako sa simbahan, hindi ko alam ang patutunguhan, at parang walang saysay ang aking buhay. Tulad ng sinasabi sa Ebanghelyo nasa labas ako ng kawan ng tupa, walang proteksyon, at malayo sa Dyos ang aking puso.

Pero sa dakilang pag ibig ng Dyos kahit ako ay lumalayo sa kanya patuloy niyang inaalok ako at mahalin sya na aking Dyos. Sa halip na parusahan, inalok Niya ako ng pagkakataong bumalik. Inalok Niya ako na maging bahagi ng mamamalakaya ng ating simbahan ang hanapin ang mga tupang gala.

Mga kapatid sinasabi sa verse 1 at 10: "Ang magnanakaw ay dumarating lamang upang magnakaw, pumatay, at manira."

Noong nawawala ako, naramdaman ko ito. Ninanakaw nito ang oras ko, at muntik nang sirain ang kinabukasan ko.

Mga kapatid sa pananampalataya ganito ang nangyayari kapag lumayo tayo sa Panginoon naging biktima ka ng problema at kasalanan. Akala ko noon, ako na lang mag-isa akala ko wala nang pag-asa pero mali pala ako. Si Hesus ang Pinto ng lahat.

Sabi ni Hesus sa verse 9 "Ako ang pintuan; ang sinumang pumapasok sa pamamagitan ko ay maliligtas."

Dumating ang panahon naramdaman ko ang pagmamahal nya hindi Niya ako tinalikuran sa gitna ng mga pagkakamali ko sa halip, binuksan Niya ang pinto para sa akin.

Hindi lang Niya ako pinasok sa loob para doon lang ako. Inalok Niya ako na maglingkod at naramdaman kong hanapin ang iba.

Para rin sa mga Mananampalataya madalas, akala natin ang "nawawalang tupa" ay yung mga nasa labas lang, yung mga makasalanan o hindi nagsisimba.

Pero base sa karanasan ko maging tayong mga mananampalataya, minsan ay nawawala rin. Minsan nawawala tayo sa debosyon. Minsan nawawala tayo sa sigla. Minsan nawawala tayo sa tamang ugali kahit nasa simbahan tayo.

Kaya ang pag alok ni Hesus ay para sa lahat sa mga nasa labas man o nasa loob na. Inaalok Niya tayo bumalik sa tamang daan, manatili sa Kanyang pangangalaga, at Magsilbi sa iba dahil naranasan na natin ang Kanyang kabutihan.

Mga kapatid, Kung ikaw ay nawawala, may pinto na magbubukas.

Huwag tayong matakot lumapit kay Hesus gaya ng ginawa Niya sa akin, tatanggapin Niya tayo, siya lang ang makakapagbigay sa atin ng tunay na kapahingahan kahit minsan tayo ang lumalayo sa kanya. Kapatid motanggapin mo ang alok Niya ngayon. Bumalik ka sa Pinto, at hayaang gamitin ka Niya para sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian.

Sa pangalan ni Hesus, Amen.

BIBLICAL TEXT
Luke 24:13-35
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

The Walk to Emmaus
13 Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, 16 but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, ‘What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?’ They stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, ‘Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?’ 19 He asked them, ‘What things?’ They replied, ‘The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. 22 Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, 23 and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.’ 25 Then he said to them, ‘Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! 26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?’ 27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.

28 As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.’ So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’ 33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. 34 They were saying, ‘The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!’ 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

Lucas 24:13-35
Magandang Balita Biblia (MBBTAG)

Sa Daang Papunta sa Emaus
13 Nang araw ding iyon, may dalawang alagad na naglalakad papuntang Emaus, isang nayong may labing-isang kilometro ang layo mula sa Jerusalem. 14 Pinag-uusapan nila ang mga pangyayari. 15 Habang sila'y nag-uusap, lumapit si Jesus at nakisabay sa kanila, 16 ngunit siya'y hindi nila nakilala na para bang natatakpan ang kanilang mga mata. 17 Tinanong sila ni Jesus, “Ano ba ang pinag-uusapan ninyo?”

Tumigil silang nalulumbay, at 18 sinabi ng isa sa kanila na nagngangalang Cleopas, “Ikaw lamang yata ang dayuhan sa Jerusalem na hindi nakakaalam sa mga pangyayaring katatapos lamang maganap doon.”

19 “Anong mga pangyayari?” tanong niya.

Sumagot sila, “Tungkol kay Jesus na taga-Nazaret, isang propetang makapangyarihan sa salita at gawa maging sa harap ng Diyos at ng mga tao. 20 Isinakdal siya ng aming mga punong pari at mga pinuno ng bayan upang mahatulang mamatay, at siya'y ipinako sa krus. 21 Siya pa naman ang inaasahan naming magpapalaya sa Israel. Hindi lamang iyan. Ikatlong araw na ngayon mula nang mangyari ito. 22 Nabigla kami sa ibinalita ng ilan sa mga babaing kasamahan namin. Maagang-maaga raw silang nagpunta sa libingan 23 at hindi nila natagpuan ang kanyang bangkay. Nagbalik sila at ang sabi'y nakakita raw sila ng isang pangitain, mga anghel na nagsabing si Jesus ay buháy. 24 Pumunta rin sa libingan ang ilan sa mga kasama namin at ganoon nga ang natagpuan nila, ngunit hindi nila nakita si Jesus.”

25 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Kay hahangal ninyo! Kay kukupad ninyong maniwala sa lahat ng sinasabi ng mga propeta! 26 Hindi ba't kailangang ang Cristo ay magtiis ng lahat ng ito bago siya pumasok sa kanyang kaluwalhatian?” 27 At ipinaliwanag sa kanila ni Jesus ang lahat ng sinasabi sa Kasulatan tungkol sa kanya, simula sa mga aklat ni Moises hanggang sa mga sinulat ng mga propeta.

28 Malapit na sila sa nayong kanilang pupuntahan at si Jesus ay parang magpapatuloy pa sa paglakad, 29 ngunit siya'y pinigil nila. “Tumuloy ka muna rito sa amin. Palubog na ang araw at dumidilim na,” sabi nila. Kaya't sumama nga siya sa kanila. 30 Nang siya'y kasalo na nila sa pagkain, dumampot siya ng tinapay at nagpasalamat sa Diyos; pagkatapos, pinagpira-piraso iyon at ibinigay sa kanila. 31 Noon nabuksan ang kanilang mga mata at nakilala nila si Jesus, subalit siya'y biglang nawala sa kanilang paningin. 32 Nasabi nila sa isa't isa, “Kaya pala nag-aalab ang ating puso habang tayo'y kinakausap niya sa daan at ipinapaliwanag sa atin ang mga Kasulatan!”

33 Agad silang tumayo at nagbalik sa Jerusalem. Naratnan nilang nagkakatipon doon ang labing-isa at ang ibang kasamahan nila. 34 Sinabi ng mga ito sa dalawa, “Totoo nga palang muling nabuhay ang Panginoon! Nagpakita siya kay Simon!” 35 At isinalaysay naman ng dalawa ang nangyari sa daan at kung paano nila nakilala si Jesus nang paghati-hatiin nito ang tinapay.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. I wonder how you have encountered Christ in dark times.

2. I wonder what being in the presence of Christ means to you.

3. I wonder how we can share divine hospitality with others.
