9️⃣th Novena Mass

Rev. Fr. Mathew Dontogan III reflected on the Gospel reading from St. John. He reminded the faithful that St. John himself was the witness and author of the Gospel of John, the Book of Revelation, and the Letters of John. As Catholics, he encouraged everyone to know the basics of our faith so that when questions from our brothers arise, we may confidently understand and explain the teachings and foundations of the Church.

Fr. Mathew reflected on the moment when Peter, while walking with Jesus, looked back at John and asked, “How about him?” Jesus answered, “Suppose I want him to stay until I come, what concern is it of yours?”

This reflection reminds us that even while following Jesus, Peter became distracted by comparing himself to another disciple. Fr. Mathew shared how this also happens in our own lives. Sometimes, instead of focusing on our own mission and calling, we become too concerned with what others are doing. We compare ourselves, criticize others, become envious, or fail to appreciate the good that God is accomplishing through them.

He reminded us that comparison itself is not always wrong, but we should learn to rejoice in the blessings and successes of others. Jesus did not call us to compete with one another, but to become instruments of His love in different ways. If others are doing well and faithfully serving God, we should be happy for them, because they are fulfilling the mission entrusted to them by the Lord.

Fr. Mathew emphasized that in our parish, everyone is called to help one another. God’s mission is not entrusted only to a few people, but to all of us. Each person has a unique path and responsibility in following Christ. Rather than being distracted by what others have or what others are doing, we are called to remain faithful to the mission God has personally entrusted to us.

He invited everyone to pray,

“Lord, help us to keep our eyes on You. When we feel distracted by others, by what others have or what they are doing, bring us back to our own path. Give us the grace to trust where You are leading us and the strength to follow You with a steady heart.”

Fr. Mathew also connected this reflection to Our Lady of the Way, who continually leads and guides us to Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As followers of Christ, we walk together in faith, humility, and love. No one is above another, and all are equally called to serve the Lord in their own unique way.

As we end this Novena, may we ask the intercession of Mama Mary to help us become true followers of Christ, people who appreciate, encourage, and rejoice in the goodness and faithfulness of others, while remaining faithful to our own journey with the Lord. 🙏

7️⃣th Novena Mass

Rev. Fr. Paul Sarac reflected on the mission of Christ and how Jesus entrusted this mission to His apostles, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus gave them the responsibility to continue spreading the Good News to the ends of the earth: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

We were invited to look back at the history of the Church and the journey of evangelization after Christ’s Ascension. From Jerusalem, the mission spread to places such as Turkey, Ephesus, Cappadocia, Athens, Greece, and many parts of Asia and here in Twinpeaks through the missionary works of the apostles and especially St. Paul. Though he was not one of the original twelve apostles, St. Paul courageously traveled to many lands to preach the Gospel despite persecution, hardships, and opposition.

Fr. Paul also reflected on Ephesus, believed to be the place where Mama Mary stayed with John the Apostle after Jesus entrusted her to him at the foot of the Cross: “Behold your mother.” Because of this, Ephesus became a sacred place of pilgrimage, where the House of the Virgin Mary and ancient basilicas still stand today as witnesses of faith.

In Cappadocia and other places, Christians also suffered persecution, yet through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Gospel continued to spread. Churches were established, believers remained faithful, and missionaries continued the work of Christ with courage and perseverance.

We were reminded that this mission continues today. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of God, the Church continues to proclaim that Christ is risen. The faithful witness of missionaries, saints, and martyrs throughout history reflects the continuing mission entrusted by Jesus to His people.

The homily also highlighted the loving participation of Mama Mary in spreading the Gospel. Through her apparitions, intercessions, and maternal guidance, Our Lady of the Way continues to lead people closer to Christ and strengthen the faith of believers around the world.

As we continue this Novena, may we pray for unity in our families, communities, and throughout the whole world. May we also answer the mission of Christ with courage and faith, allowing ourselves to become instruments of God’s love and witnesses of the Gospel wherever we may be.

Our Lady of the Way, accompany us and lead us always to your Son. 🙏

Rev. Fr. Joel Calatan beautifully emphasized that Mama Mary is a sure and definite way to Christ. He compared this to road signs that can sometimes be misleading or confusing, causing people to lose their direction. In life, there are many paths that may lead us away from God, which is why we must be careful and discerning in the journey we choose.

But with Mama Mary, we are guided safely and surely toward Jesus. Our Lady of the Way never leads us astray. Instead, she lovingly points us to her Son and strengthens us in our faith and relationship with God.

Just as the previous priests reflected in their homilies, Fr. Joel reminded us that we are also called to become “the way” for others especially for our families. Through our example, prayers, love, and faith, may we guide others back to the Church, closer to Christ, and help strengthen their faith in God.

May Our Lady of the Way continue to guide our paths, protect our journeys, and lead us always to Jesus. 🙏
