Memorial of St. Monica, Holy Woman
Mother of St. Augustine

"While in this world, Monica lived in Christ; the goodness of her life was so evident that the name of the Lord was praised in her faith and in her works." - Antiphon at the Magnificat

Let us pray.

O God,
who console the sorrowful
and who mercifully accepted
the motherly tears of Saint Monica
for the conversion of her son Augustine,
grant us, through the intercession of them both,
that we may bitterly regret our sins
and find the grace of your pardon.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Santa Monica, ipanalangin mo kami.

- Entrance Antiphon

Strengthen in us, O Lord, the faith,
by which the blessed Apostle Bartholomew
clung wholeheartedly to your Son,
and grant that through the help of his prayers
your Church may become for all the nations
the sacrament of salvation.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Apostol San Bartolome, ipanalangin mo kami.

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

The 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A highlights a key moment in the Gospel. Peter declares that Jesus is the Son of God, and Jesus blesses him. He tells Peter that he will be the rock on which the Church is built.

Peter’s faith is not perfect. He struggles and makes mistakes. But he trusts in Jesus and speaks with conviction. His faith is strong enough that Jesus gives him a special role in leading the Church.

Jesus gives Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven. This means the Church has a responsibility to guide people in faith. It is not just about rules but about leading people to God. The Church’s foundation is not on human wisdom but on faith in Jesus.

The 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds us that faith is what holds the Church together. Like Peter, we may struggle, but Jesus calls us to stand firm. The Church continues because of faith in Christ, and we are invited to be part of that foundation.

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Gospel for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A tells the story of a Canaanite woman who asks Jesus to heal her daughter. She is not Jewish, and at first, Jesus seems to ignore her. The disciples even want to send her away. But she does not give up. She keeps asking until Jesus responds.

Her persistence shows deep faith. She believes Jesus can heal, even when she faces obstacles. Jesus tests her faith, and she proves that she trusts Him completely. In the end, Jesus praises her and grants her request.

This story shows that faith is not about where you come from. It is about trusting in God. The woman was not part of the chosen people, yet her faith was strong. Jesus did not turn her away in the end. He saw her belief and answered her prayer.

This teaches us to welcome others as Jesus did. Faith is not limited by race, culture, or background. God looks at the heart. The 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds us that anyone who believes in Him will be heard.

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
(Titular Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

Let us all rejoice in the Lord,
as we celebrate the feast day in honor of the Virgin Mary,
at whose Assumption the Angels rejoice
and praise the Son of God.

Let us pray.

Almighty ever-living God,
who assumed the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
the Mother of your Son,
body and soul into heavenly glory,
grant, we pray,
that, always attentive
to the things that are above,
we may merit to be sharers of her glory.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Reynang iniakyat sa langit, ipanalangin mo kami. Amen. Aleluya!

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A highlights faith during challenges. Elijah, in the first reading, finds God not in loud events but in a quiet whisper. In the Gospel, Peter walks on water but doubts and begins to sink. Both stories show that faith is about staying focused on God, even in hard times.

Faith is not about avoiding struggles. It is about trusting God through them. Elijah was afraid, but God was with him. Peter doubted, but Jesus saved him. These stories remind people that God does not leave them, even when they feel uncertain.

Sometimes, faith wavers, just like Peter’s. Fear and doubt can creep in. But God is always present, offering help and strength. The key is to keep looking toward Him. Faith does not mean never struggling—it means trusting God even in the struggle.

The 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A calls people to anchor their faith in God. Life has storms, but faith keeps people steady. By trusting in God, they find the strength to move forward, knowing He will always be there.

with whom I am well pleased. - Introit

Let us pray.

O God,
who in the glorious Transfiguration

we may merit to become co-heirs with him.
Who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
