𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙜𝙮𝙪𝙙 𝙨𝙞 𝙃𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙤?

Mga igsoon, karong adlawa, dili lang nato pangutan-on ang atong kaugalingon, “Kinsa si Hesus?” Kay basin kabalo na ta sa tubag. Si Hesus mao ang Anak sa Diyos, atong Manluluwas, atong Ginoo.

Apan karon, himuon nato kini nga mas personal:

“𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒈𝒚𝒖𝒅 𝒔𝒊 𝑯𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒐?”

Is He simply someone I know because I hear His name every Sunday? Is He someone I pray to whenever I have problems? Or is He truly someone who has a place at the center of my life?

Mga igsoon, importante kaayo nga makaila ta kang Hesus—not only with our minds, but more importantly, with our hearts.

Please take a moment to reflect on a beautiful piece from Fr. Richard’s homily this 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time and allow its message to speak personally to our hearts. May it deepen our understanding of who Jesus truly is in our lives.

𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓 || 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟎𝟕, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

"𝑨𝒌𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒈𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒌𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒅 𝒈𝒊𝒌𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒕." – 𝑱𝒖𝒂𝒏 6:51

Uban sa tibuok komunidad sa Sta. Maria de la Candelaria Parish, mapasalamaton kitang nagsaulog sa Kapistahan sa Corpus Christi — ang Balaang Lawas ug Dugo ni Kristo.

Kini nga kasaulogan nagpahinumdom kanato nga si Jesus nagpabilin nga buhi ug anaa uban kanato pinaagi sa Balaang Eukaristiya. Dili lamang kini usa ka ritwal, kondili usa ka tinuod nga pakigkita ug pakig-uban kang Kristo nga nagahatag kusog, paglaum, ug grasya sa matag adlaw natong paglakaw sa pagtuo.

Isip matinud-anong Katoliko, hinaut nga ang atong pagdawat sa Eukaristiya dili lamang kutob sa altar, kundili makita usab sa atong kinabuhi pinaagi sa gugma, pag-alagad, pagpasaylo, ug pagkamatinud-anon sa Ginoo.

Corpus Christi reminds us that Christ nourishes not only our souls but also our mission to become His living presence in the world.

With grateful hearts, we give thanks to God for the successful celebration of the St. Francis of Assisi Vicariate Eucharistic Congress. Gathered as one faith community, we deepened our love for the Holy Eucharist, strengthened our communion with Christ, and renewed our commitment to live as His faithful disciples.

May this sacred gathering continue to inspire us to become living witnesses of God's love and to keep the Eucharist at the center of our lives
