23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Where two or three are gathered in His name, Christ is present among us. He calls us to live not in division, but in unity, forgiveness, and love. When we listen to one another, correct with charity, and forgive with humility, we make room for Christ in our midst. Our faith is strengthened when we journey together as one community.

May our homes, families, and parish communities become places where everyone feels the presence of Jesus.

Let us gather in His name, pray with one heart, and walk together in faith.

“For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the midst of them.” — Matthew 18:20

Catholics around the world are united by the same cycle of Scripture readings at Sunday Mass. Whether you attend Mass in the Philippines, Italy, Nigeria, or New Zealand, Catholics in different languages and cultures hear the same Gospel proclaimed and participate in the same Liturgy of the Word.

This shared rhythm of Sacred Scripture connects millions of Catholics across continents and generations, reminding us that although the Church is spread throughout the world, she is one in faith, worship, and communion.

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” — Matthew 16:24

Following Christ means choosing Him each day—denying ourselves, embracing our crosses, and faithfully walking in His footsteps. May we never be afraid to carry our cross, for it is the path that leads us closer to Him.

Take up your cross. Follow Jesus.

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time | Matthew 16:13–20

“You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.”

The Church may face trials, but Christ remains its foundation and strength. May we remain firm in faith, united in love, and confident in God’s promise that His Church will endure.

Today we celebrate our parish's patron saint. St Bernard, pray for us.

Happy Memorial of St. Bernard,
Abbot and Doctor of the Church!

Today, we honor St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a great preacher, theologian, and spiritual guide whose life was marked by deep love for God, the Church, and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

His life reminds us that true wisdom begins with a heart that seeks God. In a world filled with noise and distractions, may we learn from St. Bernard to remain humble, prayerful, and faithful to Christ.

May his example inspire us to deepen our prayer life, trust more fully in God's grace, and share our faith with courage and love.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux, pray for us!
May we always seek God above all things and allow His love to transform our lives. 🙏🤍
