PATHWAYS OF HOPE : “DENY YOURSELF AND FOLLOW CHRIST”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MARK 8: 27 - 35

Jesus and his disciples set out
for the villages of Caesarea Philippi.
Along the way he asked his disciples,
"Who do people say that I am?"
They said in reply,
"John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others one of the prophets."
And he asked them,
"But who do you say that I am?"
Peter said to him in reply,
"You are the Christ."
Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.

He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed, and rise after three days.
He spoke this openly.
Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples,
rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."

He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them,
"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake
and that of the gospel will save it."

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “HINIRANG NA TAGAPAGLIGTAS”

[MABUTING BALITA]: MARCOS MARCOS 8: 27 - 35

Noong panahong iyon, si Hesus, kasama ang kanyang mga alagad, ay nagtungo sa mga nayon ng Cesarea, sakop ni Filipo. Samantalang sila’y naglalakbay, tinanong niya ang kanyang mga alagad, “Sino raw ako ayon sa mga tao?” Sumagot sila, “Ang sabi ng ilan ay si Juan Bautista kayo; sabi naman ng iba, si Elias kayo; at may nagsasabi pang isa kayo sa mga propeta.” “Kayo naman – ano ang sabi ninyo? Sino ako? tanong niya. “Kayo ang Kristo,” tugon ni Pedro. “Huwag ninyong sasabihin kaninuman kung sino ako,” mahigpit na utos niya sa kanila.

Mula noon, ipinaalam na ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad na ang Anak ng Tao’y dapat magbata ng maraming hirap. Siya’y itatakwil ng matatanda ng bayan, ng mga punong saserdote at ng mga eskriba at ipapapatay. Ngunit sa ikatlong araw, muli siyang mabubuhay. Maliwanag na sinabi niya ito sa kanila. Kaya’t niyaya siya ni Pedro sa isang tabi at sinimulang pagsabihan. Ngunit humarap si Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad at pinagwikaan si Pedro: “Lumayo ka, Satanas! Ang iniisip mo’y hindi sa Diyos kundi sa tao.”
Pinalapit ni Hesus ang mga tao, pati ang kanyang mga alagad, at sinabi, “Kung ibig ninumang sumunod sa akin, limutin niya ang ukol sa kanyang sarili, pasanin ang kanyang krus at sumunod sa akin. Ang naghahangad na magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay siyang mawawalan nito; ngunit ang mag-alay ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin at sa Mabuting Balita ay siyang magkakamit niyon.”

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “ANG PAG-IBIG NA NAKALILIGTAS”

[MABUTING BALITA]: JUAN 3: 13 - 17

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Juan
Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus kay Nicodemo, “Walang umakyat sa langit kundi ang bumaba mula sa langit — ang Anak ng Tao.”
At kung paanong itinaas ni Moises ang ahas doon sa ilang, gayun din naman, kailangang itaas ang Anak ng Tao, upang ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa kanya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. Gayun na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sanlibutan, kaya ibinigay niya ang kanyang bugtong na Anak, upang ang sumampalataya sa kanya ay hindi mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. Sapagkat sinugo ng Diyos ang kanyang Anak, hindi upang hatulang maparusahan ang sanlibutan, kundi upang iligtas ito sa pamamagitan niya.

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : “THE SON OF MAN AND GOD'S SAVING LOVE”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: JOHN 3: 13 - 17

Jesus said to Nicodemus:
“No one has gone up to heaven
except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “PAG-IWAS SA PAGKUKUNWARI SA PAGHUHUKOM”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 6: 39 - 42

Noong panahong iyon, tinanong ni Hesus ang kanyang mga alagad nang patalinghaga: “Maaari bang maging tagaakay ng bulag ang isa ring bulag? Kapwa sila mahuhulog sa hukay kapag ginawa ang gayun. Walang alagad na higit sa kanyang g**o; ngunit kapag lubusang naturuan, siya’y magiging katulad ng kanyang g**o.

“Ang tinitingnan mo’y ang puwing ng iyong kapatid, ngunit hindi mo pinapansin ang tahilan sa iyong mata. Paano mo masasabi sa iyong kapatid, ‘Kapatid, bayaan mong alisin ko ang iyong puwing,’ gayong hindi mo nakikita ang tahilang nasa iyong mata? Mapagpaimbabaw! Alisin mo muna ang tahilan sa iyong mata, at makakikita kang mabuti; sa gayo’y maaalis mo ang puwing ng iyong kapatid.”

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : ‘TRUE VISION”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 6: 39 - 42

Jesus told his disciples a parable:
"Can a blind person guide a blind person?
Will not both fall into a pit?
No disciple is superior to the teacher;
but when fully trained,
every disciple will be like his teacher.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye,
but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?
How can you say to your brother,
'Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,'
when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?
You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first;
then you will see clearly
to remove the splinter in your brother's eye."

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA: “MAHALIN MO ANG IYONG KAAWAY”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 6: 27 - 38

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad: “Sinasabi ko sa inyo, mga nakikinig: Ibigin ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway, gawan ninyo ng mabuti ang mga napopoot sa inyo, pagpalain ninyo ang mga sumusumpa sa inyo, idalangin ninyo ang mga umaapi sa inyo. Kapag sinampal ka sa isang pisngi, iharap mo rin ang kabila. Kapag inaagaw ang iyong balabal, ibigay mo pati ang iyong baro. Bigyan mo ang bawat nanghihingi sa iyo: at kung may kumuha sa iyong ari-arian ay huwag mo nang bawiin pa ang mga iyon. Gawin ninyo sa iba ang ibig ninyong gawin nila sa inyo.“Kung ang iibigin lamang ninyo ay ang mga umiibig sa inyo, ano pang gantimpala ang inyong hihintayin? Kahit ang mga makasalanan ay umiibig din sa mga umiibig sa kanila. At kung ang gagawan lamang ninyo ng mabuti ang gumagawa sa inyo ng mabuti, ano pang gantimpala ang inyong hihintayin? Kahit ang mga makasalanan ay gumagawa rin nito! Kung ang pahihiramin lamang ninyo ay ang mga taong inaasahan ninyong makababayad sa inyo, ano pang gantimpala ang inyong hihintayin? Kahit ang mga makasalanan ay nagpapahiram din sa mga makasalanan sa pag-asang ang mga ito’y makababayad! Sa halip, ibigin ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway, at gawan ninyo sila ng mabuti. Magpahiram kayo, na hindi umaasa ng anumang kabayaran. Sa gayun, malaking gantimpala ang tatamuhin ninyo, at kayo’y magiging mga anak ng Kataas-taasan. Sapagkat siya’y mabuti sa masasama at sa mga hindi marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob. Maging mahabagin kayo gaya ng inyong Ama.”“Huwag kayong humatol, at hindi kayo hahatulan ng Diyos. Huwag kayong magparusa at hindi kayo parurusahan ng Diyos. Magpatawad kayo sa inyong kapwa, at patatawarin kayo ng Diyos. Magbigay kayo, at bibigyan kayo ng Diyos: hustong takal, siksik, liglig, at umaapaw pa ang ibibigay sa inyo. Sapagkat ang takalang ginagamit ninyo sa iba ay siya ring gagamitin sa inyo.”

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : “RAISING THE BAR”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 6: 27 - 38

Jesus said to his disciples: “To you who hear I say, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.
To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you?Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners, and get back the same amount.
But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : "THE BEATITUDES AS OUR GUIDE"

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 6: 20 - 26

Raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours.
Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
and when they exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name as evil
on account of the Son of Man.

Rejoice and leap for joy on that day!
Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors treated the prophets
in the same way.

But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are filled now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will grieve and weep.
Woe to you when all speak well of you,
for their ancestors treated the false
prophets in this way.”

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “PAMANTAYAN NI HESUS”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 6: 20 - 26

Noong panahong iyon, tumingin si Hesus sa mga alagad, at kanyang sinabi,
“Mapalad kayong mga dukha, sapagkat ang Diyos ang maghahari sa inyo!”
“Mapalad kayong mga nagugutom ngayon, sapagkat kayo’y bubusugin!”
“Mapalad kayong mga tumatangis ngayon, sapagkat kayo’y magagalak!”
“Mapalad kayo kung dahil sa Anak ng Tao kayo’y kinapopootan, ipinagtatabuyan at inaalimura ng mga tao, at pati ang inyong pangalan ay kinasusuklaman. Magalak kayo at lumukso sa tuwa kung ito’y mangyari, sapagkat malaki ang inyong gantimpala sa langit — gayun din ang ginawa ng kanilang mga ninuno sa mga propeta.”
“Ngunit sa aba ninyong mayayaman ngayon, sapagkat nagtamasa na kayo ng kaginhawahan!”
“Sa aba ninyong mga busog ngayon, sapagkat kayo’y magugutom!”
“Sa aba ninyong nagsisitawa ngayon, sapagkat kayo’y magdadalamhati at magsisitangis!”
“Sa aba ninyo, kung kayo’y pinupuri ng lahat ng tao, sapagkat gayun din ang ginawa ng kanilang mga ninuno sa mga bulaang propeta.”

Bumaba si Hesus, kasama sila, at tumayo sa isang patag na lugar. Naroon ang marami sa kanyang mga alagad at ang napakaraming tao buhat sa Judea at Jerusalem, at sa mga bayan sa baybaying-dagat ng Tiro at Sidon. Pumaroon sila upang makinig sa kanya at mapagaling sa kanilang mga karamdaman. Pinagaling din niya ang mga pinahihirapan ng masasamang espiritu. At sinikap ng lahat ng tao na mahipo siya sapagkat may taglay siyang kapangyarihang makapagpagaling ng lahat.

PATHWAYS OF HOPE: "FINDING TIME TO PRAY"

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 6: 12 - 19

Jesus departed to the mountain to pray,
and he spent the night in prayer to God.
When day came, he called his disciples to himself,
and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew,
James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,
Simon who was called a Zealot,
and Judas the son of James,
and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground.
A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem
and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon
came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured.
Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him
because power came forth from him and healed them all.

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : “NO LAW AGAINST KINDNESS”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 6: 6 - 11

On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught,
and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely
to see if he would cure on the sabbath
so that they might discover a reason to accuse him.
But he realized their intentions
and said to the man with the withered hand,
"Come up and stand before us."
And he rose and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them,
"I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?"
Looking around at them all, he then said to him,
"Stretch out your hand."
He did so and his hand was restored.
But they became enraged
and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “MAGING MAPAGMAHAL KAYSA MAGING WASTO”

[MABUTING BALITA]: LUCAS 6 : 6 - 11

Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, muling pumasok si Hesus sa sinagoga at nagturo. May isang lakaki roong tuyot ang kanang kamay. Sa hangad ng mga eskriba at mga Pariseo na maparatangan si Hesus, nagbantay sila upang tingnan kung siya’y magpapagaling sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Subalit batid ni Hesus ang kanilang mga iniisip, kaya’t sinabi niya sa lalaking tuyot ang kamay, “Halika rito sa unahan.” Lumapit naman ang lalaki at tumayo roon. Sinabi ni Hesus sa kanila, “Tatanungin ko kayo. Alin ba ang ayon sa Kautusan: ang gumawa ng mabuti o ang gumawa ng masama sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? Magligtas ng buhay o pumatay?” Tiningnan ni Hesus ang nasa palibot niya at sinabi sa lalaki, “Iunat mo ang iyong kamay!” Iniunat nga niya ang kanyang kamay at ito’y gumaling. Nagngingitngit sa galit ang mga eskriba at ang mga Pariseo, at pinag-usapan nila kung ano ang dapat gawin kay Hesus.

Noong panahong iyon, pagbabalik ni Hesus mula sa lupain ng Tiro, dumaan siya sa Sidon, at nagtuloy sa Lawa ng Galilea, matapos tahakin ang lupain ng Decapolis. Dinala sa kanya ang isang lalaking bingi at utal at ipinamanhik nila na ipatong sa taong ito ang kanyang kamay. Inilayo muna siya ni Hesus sa karamihan, at isinuot ang kanyang mga daliri sa mga tainga nito. Pagkatapos, lumura at hinipo ang dila nito. Tumingala si Hesus sa langit at nagbuntong-hininga, at sinabi sa tao, “Effata,” ibig sabihi’y “Mabuksan!” At nakarinig na ito, nawala ang pagkautal at nakapagsalita na nang malinaw. Sinabi ni Hesus sa mga tao na huwag ibalita ito kaninuman; ngunit kung kailan sila pinagbabawalan ay lalo naman nilang ipinamamalita ito. Sila’y lubhang nanggilalas, at ang wika, “Anong buti ng lahat ng kanyang ginawa! Nakaririnig na ang bingi, at nakapagsasalita ang pipi!”

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : “HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING WELL”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MARK 7: 31 - 37

Again Jesus left the district of Tyre
and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee,
into the district of the Decapolis.
And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment
and begged him to lay his hand on him.
He took him off by himself away from the crowd.
He put his finger into the man’s ears
and, spitting, touched his tongue;
then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him,
“Ephphatha!”— that is, “Be opened!” —
And immediately the man’s ears were opened,
his speech impediment was removed,
and he spoke plainly.
He ordered them not to tell anyone.
But the more he ordered them not to,
the more they proclaimed it.
They were exceedingly astonished and they said,
“He has done all things well.
He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, naparaan sina Hesus sa triguhan. Ang kanyang mga alagad ay nangitil ng uhay, at kanilang kinain ang mga butil matapos ligisin sa kanilang mga kamay. “Bakit ninyo ginagawa sa Araw ng Pamamahinga ang ipinagbabawal ng Kautusan?” tanong ng ilang Pariseo. Sinagot sila ni Hesus, “Hindi ba ninyo nabasa ang ginawa ni David nang magutom siya at kanyang mga kasama? Pumasok siya sa bahay ng Panginoon, kumuha ng tinapay na handog sa Diyos at kumain nito. Binigyan pa niya ang kanyang mga kasama, bagamat ayon sa Kautusan, ang mga saserdote lamang ang may karapatang kumain niyon.” At sinabi pa niya sa kanila, “Ang Araw ng Pamamahinga ay nasa ilalim ng kapangyarihan ng Anak ng Tao.”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 6: 1- 5

While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath,
his disciples were picking the heads of grain,
rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
Some Pharisees said,
“Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?”
Jesus said to them in reply,
“Have you not read what David did
when he and those who were with him were hungry?
How he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering,
which only the priests could lawfully eat,
ate of it, and shared it with his companions?”
Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.”

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ng mga Pariseo at mga eskriba kay Hesus: “Ang mga alagad ni Juan ay malimit mag-ayuno at manalangin, gayun din ang alagad ng mga Pariseo. Ngunit ang mga alagad mo’y patuloy ng pagkain at pag-inom.” Sumagot si Hesus, “Pag-aayunuhin ba ninyo ang mga panauhin sa kasalan samantalang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikinasal? Kapag wala na ang ikinasal, saka pa lamang sila mag-aayuno.”

Sinabi rin niya sa kanila ang isang talinghaga: “Walang pumipiraso sa bagong damit upang itagpi sa luma. Kapag ginawa ito, masisira ang bagong damit at ang tagping bago ay hindi babagay sa damit na luma. Wala ring nagsisilid ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat. Kapag gayun ang ginawa, papuputukin ng bagong alak ang balat, matatapon ang alak, at masisira ang sisidlan. Sa bagong sisidlang-balat dapat ilagay ang bagong alak. At walang magkakagustong uminom ng bagong alak kapag nakainom na ng inimbak, sapagkat sasabihin niya, ‘Masarap ang inimbak.’”

PATHWAYS OF HOPE : “SOAKED OR SHRINK”

[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 5: 33 - 39

The scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus,
“The disciples of John the Baptist fast often and offer prayers,
and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same;
but yours eat and drink.”
Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast
while the bridegroom is with them?
But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them,
then they will fast in those days.”
And he also told them a parable.
“No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one.
Otherwise, he will tear the new
and the piece from it will not match the old cloak.
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins,
and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.
Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins.
And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new,
for he says, ‘The old is good.’”
