Friends, Pope Francis has advised priests to keep their homilies to no longer than 10 minutes. This means the homily will go by quickly, so make sure you arrive on time for Mass. Huwag na sanang ma-late. Pay close attention, as even a brief homily can be a moment when God speaks to us. Remember, what might seem like a dull homily can unexpectedly stir our souls, as God works in mysterious ways, often revealing wisdom in unexpected places.

---
As homilies become shorter, it also prompts us to take more responsibility for deepening our knowledge of our faith and the Sacred Scripture beyond what is covered in Mass. Consider seeking out courses like CBS (Certificate in Biblical Studies ) to enrich your understanding further.

The Ilocano Leccio is a rendition of the Lamentations of Jeremiah in Latin (Vulgate), sung to the typical Ilocano "dung-aw" melody.

The Sasainnec (Book of Lamentations) in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament is an alphabetical acrostic poem. Each poem consists of twenty-two verses, with each verse commencing with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Latin translation precedes each poem, spelling out these Hebrew letters. Thus, the Ilocano Leccio commences with a long yet impassioned singing of ALEPH, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

The Leccio represents a local adaptation or inculturation of the "Tenebrae" (Ilocano “Tinieblas,” the morning prayer services during the Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday), which include the reading of the Lamentations of Jeremiah. It involves extinguishing candles one by one as Christ goes through his passion. At the ritual of the ritual, a loud noise is created to symbolize the earthquake following the death of the Messiah.

The Leccio in this recording is from Lamentations 3:1-9 and sung by members of the Men’s Choir of Tayum, Abra. Special thanks to the Ballena family for granting permission to use the recording.

For those seeking further insights into the Book of Lamentations from a Filipino perspective, an excellent commentary is available by Pastor Federico Villanueva, titled Lamentations (Langham 2016).
