First Reading: Isaiah 58:1-9

Homily by Fr. Romie-Jun Peñalosa

How do we value Christ in our life?

In his homily today, Father Jun shared a story about a king who has three daughters. One day, he asked them how they value him in their life. The eldest said he is like gold to her while the second one valued him like a diamond. The king was very happy knowing how precious he is to his daughters. But when the youngest turned to answer, she told her father that he is like “salt” to her. The king got mad about the princess and he commanded her to be locked up. But the queen heard their conversation and so she intervened. She commanded the royal kitchen not to put any salt in the food prepared for the king. And it went on for weeks, even months until the king weakened because he cannot eat well. The queen then made him realize something about salt when she invited him to the kitchen and let him see by himself how his food was being prepared. The king clamored to the queen because there was still no difference in taste. It was bland and tasteless. So the queen called the youngest princess and carrying a jar of salt, she let her daughter sprinkle it in his father’s food. The moment the king ate the food, it made him realize how much her daughter values him!

Today, many of us think that life has no value. We don’t have the money or power to change the world. But Jesus said, “You are the salt of the world”. He talks here about our influence and how we can change things around us through our lives. Bringing out the Gospel and preaching it to the world is the only ingredient that can change the world. To preach the Gospel means to live it out because its message is seasoned by the salt of our living. As salt, we “season” life, we give flavor, and we preserve life. We can change the world through the life we live and by influencing others. We can do this by following Christ. When we follow Christ, we love God. And it is not hard to love God when we understand how He loves us. As salt also, we have the power and the ability to influence the world. However, Jesus also warned us not to lose our saltiness. For if we lose it, then we became useless. So let us guard our hearts and our minds. Compromising loses our flavor: our saltiness. Living out the life of Christ maintains the balance of flavor in our life.

Understanding the truth of God’s love for us, we learn to love our neighbors also. When we have so much love in our hearts, we are salt already such that whenever we go, we season the world around us. The saltiness in our life is holiness. Holiness is living life in love despite our sins. And by living it deliberately, we can change our surroundings and our community for we also become light that illuminates the darkness. As light, we bring peace wherever we are. We bring understanding to everyone. We shine by being aware of God’s love. Thus, when we shine, we honor God.

Lastly, Father Jun encourages us to go out and shine. Life is too short to be wasted in the four corners of the room. We need to live out the life God intended us to be. The moment is now and we need to act immediately. Every day we wake up, let us be conscious of Jesus and let us deliberately live out His life. We should not allow any hindrances to ruin or corrupt the saltiness and the illumine that is in us already!

Go and Proclaim The Word of God

4th Sunday of Epiphany
January 29, 2023
Theme: “Go and Proclaim: The Word of God”

First Reading: Micah 6:1-8
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 15:1-2,3-4,5
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:2-5
Gospel Reading: Matthew 5:1-12
Homily by Fr. Val Raymond Magbiro

In today’s gospel reading, Jesus preaches about the beatitudes. The word beatitude came from the Latin word ‘beatum’, which means blessedness and happiness. The happiness that Jesus refers to in His sermon here is not a happiness that is temporary. It is a happiness that is deep, a happiness that stays despite the things that happen around us. It is also a happiness that is already here and now, not something that will come in the future.

Fr. Val starts off with the first beatitude, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” The poor in spirit are those who trust God because they know that on their own, they truly lack. They lack something that they know only God can fill. The next is “Blessed are those who mourn” – those who mourn because they know they are sinners. Blessed also are the meek – those who are submissive and humble towards God.

Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are those who have a deep desire to obey Christ. Those who are merciful know that they themselves are sinners needing the mercy of God. Blessed also are the pure in heart, they are honest and truthful, and they only serve one God. The peacemakers are blessed since they never cause division. And finally, those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake are the ones who fight for what is right. The world may mock them for standing up for what is right, but still they will uphold this.

These beatitudes will make us happy. This is a happiness that we cannot get from material things, but true happiness that comes from God. Through these, we will light the way for the people who walk in darkness.

Go and Proclaim the Gospel of Christ as Fishers of Men

3rd Sunday of Epiphany – January 22, 2023

Theme: “Go and Proclaim the Gospel of Christ as Fishers of Men”

First Reading: Isaiah 8:20-9:2

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 27:1,5,8-9,11-13

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Gospel Reading: Matthew 4:12-23

Homily by Fr. Romie-Jun Peñalosa

The season of Epiphany talks about the light of Jesus in our life. The light reveals, and so, we can notice that the previous gospel readings speak about the revelations of Christ. The first was on His birth where the three wise men reveal about the baby. The second was on His baptism, where John the Baptist reveals Him as the voice in the wilderness. And third, was at the wedding in Cana, where He was revealed as the Son of God.

Today, our gospel reading reveals the calling of Christ in our lives. The imprisonment of John the Baptist has become the beginning of Jesus’ transformation; from living (His transfer from Nazareth to Galilee) to preaching and teaching, and to calling out of disciples. Once called by God, oftentimes, circumstances of being forced to go out come along. Going out, not just physically from one place to another, also means moving out of our comfort zone.

In his homily, Fr. Jun shares a story about an eagle. This eagle lives and thinks like a chicken for it grew up in a community of chickens, having been adopted after being lost from its family. But when finally finding and following someone like his identity, the eagle lives up to what is expected of him. Moral lesson? “Come, follow me.”

In our gospel reading, Jesus calls Peter and Andrew to come and follow Him. So with James and John. Here, we can notice that Jesus often calls people of relations (for they are siblings) and people who are working (for they are casting and fixing their nets). Father Jun wants us to see the principle from here, “Jesus, calls us in the midst of our work.” He calls people who are working. And the call of Jesus is not just to “come” but to “follow”. Yes, we can come to Him as our Friend, as our Savior, as our Provider; but unless we follow Him, He cannot be our Lord. Many come to Him, but few only follow. For Jesus to be the Lord of our life, we must follow Him. His invitation to us is not just to “come”, but also to “follow”.

The Lordship of Christ in our life is one thing that changes us. He promised us, that when we follow Him, He will see to it that we will truly become and live our life to the fullness of its potential. Like the eagle, who once thought he was a chicken, we often think and live the life we used to. We forgot that we were created in the image and likeness of God. We identify ourselves in the life of the world, we forgot our potential – that we were designed to shine brilliantly so that other people can come to Christ. Let us bear in mind and keep reminding others as well, to continually follow Christ so that we can be the person living the life that God wanted us to be.

Go and Proclaim the Life of Christ

2nd Sunday of Epiphany : “Feast of Our LORD & Giver of Life” | January 15, 2023

Theme: “Go and Proclaim the Life of Christ”

First Reading: Genesis 1: 26-28

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 2: 1-3,4-6,7-9,10-12

Second Reading: Romans 8: 35-39

Gospel Reading: Matthew 18: 1-5

Homily by +Bp. Raymundo Abogatal Jr., Interim Bishop of the Diocese of Visayas

In today’s Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Raymundo reminds us that we should know God’s calling for us.

Our calling is to have dominion, to be fruitful, and multiply. The gifts that God has given to us will enhance us to share His word. But there are hindrances that make us struggle in doing our mission- our sins, disobedience, and work. But God does not change His plan because He is the God of purpose.

So we are encouraged to direct our energy, potential, and power, to the purpose of God. Bp. Raymundo reminded us that the apostles of Christ were not idle, but they were fruitful in their tasks. We shouldn’t be intimidated nor discouraged because God uses ordinary people who are available and willing – like many of the disciples whose natural gifting was to be fishermen. We should not look at the awesomeness of the task but at the awesomeness of our God.

Thus, we should move in spite of opposition because the Lord is with us. God calls us and demands a response. You are called to minister and to share the word of God.

Go and Proclaim: The Father’s Beloved Son

1st Sunday of Epiphany – January 8, 2023

Theme: “Go and Proclaim: The Father’s Beloved Son”
First Reading: Isaiah 42:1-7

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 89:13-14,19-20,21-22,25-26

Second Reading: Acts 10:34-38

Gospel Reading: Matthew 3:13-17

Homily by Fr. Romie-Jun Peñalosa

In today’s Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, Fr. Jun reminds us that we are baptized into Christ. We are immersed in the life of Christ. Our baptism causes us to be immersed with Him in His death and raised to life with Him in His resurrection.

In the Gospel, the baptism of John the Baptist is for repentance of sin which is why he did not feel that he should baptize Jesus. Jesus did not really need to be baptized for repentance because He is the spotless Lamb of God. But why did He need to be baptized even without sin? Because in this way, He identified Himself with sinful men. He did it not for Himself but for all of us sinners.

When we are baptized, Jesus cleanses us from all our sins. We are also immersed in the plans and purposes of God. We make plans and present it before God so He has something to work on. Life becomes meaningless when we have lost perspective of God’s plan for us. Life is meaningful when we know our purpose. How? By immersing with the community God has given to us. Participate in the life of the church because the church is the Body of Christ.

You have a purpose in life. God’s plans and purposes for your life is always what is best for you.

Feast of the Holy Name – New Year

Feast of the Holy Name – New Year

January 1, 2023

First Reading: Isaiah 63: 7-9

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 148: 1-2; 7-8; 11-12; 13-14

Second Reading: Hebrews 2: 14- 17

Gospel Reading: Matthew 2: 13- 15, 19- 23

In today’s Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, Fr. Jun taught us the 3 aspects of our humanity.

First is that we should know our purpose – and that will always have something to do with the Kingdom of God.

The second is that God gives us a specific and particular time to fulfill our purpose. This time that we have here on earth is something God decided long before He created anything. This is the best time for you. God decided to bring you and raise you up at this particular moment. God, in His wisdom, knew that He will fulfill His purpose in your life at a particular time. Do not miss out on the time that God has given you.

The only good thing in the past is you can learn from it, but do not stay in the past. Do not live also in the future because it will only fill you with anxietỵ The best time to fulfill your purpose is now. We touch God today in the present moment. Love NOW. Forgive NOW. Serve NOW.

Finally the third one is that God knows exactly where we are in the world and this specific place is where you will fulfill your purpose. You are not floating – God has placed you in a particular place! Embrace the place that God placed you in. Embrace the particular place that God assigned to you.

As he ended his homily, he encouraged everyone to live, grow, love, where God has placed us.

Feast of the Nativity of our Lord – Christmas Day

Feast Of The Nativity Of Our Lord – Christmas Day

December 25, 2022

First Reading : Isaiah 52: 7-10

Psalm: Psalm 98:1-6

Second Reading: Galatians 3:29-4:5

Gospel: John 1:1-14

Christmas Day is all about the love of God for all of us. It is celebrated within twelve (12) days representing 12 months because the message of hope, of faith, of peace and of love should live within our hearts everyday throughout the year. We need to contemplate, to reflect, and deliberately live it out so that it will not be lost from us. Constantly sharing and expressing it with other people is the only way to keep the peace, the joy, and the love of God in our heart.

 

Today, Father Jun shared the love story of Rakesh and Sadnha. A story about a rich man who fell in love with a poor woman. A love story that crossed social barriers and showed the transforming power of love. If we truly love someone, even the unlovable becomes the most loveable person. The same love story happened to us when Jesus came to us. It was impossible for us to live with God before, because of our poverty and sin. We need to be like-God in order to live with Him. The world we live in today is the picture of poverty, of pain, of hunger, of hatred and other sufferings. But on Christmas Day, Jesus leaves everything He has in order to live with us. He took humanity and chose to be with us, so that He can live with us.

 

Salvation is not just forgiveness of sins. When we say, “We are saved” it means God lives in us. Christmas teaches us the most beautiful part of salvation – Jesus dwells in us. This is the greatest love story ever foretold. God and man, loving each other, dwelling with each other, no longer  separated. Jesus loving us, in our fallen nature, became like us so that we, also can be like Him, sharing His divine nature. This is the most beautiful love story we need to bring into our life every day and share among others; telling our children so that they will begin to understand what life is all about. Life is living, not only for our self but living with God and for God.

Go and Proclaim with Love

4th Sunday of Advent- December 18, 2022
Theme:” Go and Proclaim with Love”
First Reading: Isaiah 7:10-17
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 80:1-2,6-7,17-18
Second Reading: Romans 1:1-7
Gospel Reading: Matthew 1:18-25
Homily by Fr. Romie-Jun Peñalosa
As we light the 4th candle of Advent today symbolizing love, Father Jun reminded us of the other attributes that we should develop, hope, faith, and joy. These are the right characters that we should nurture as we face the onset of the year, and as we anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ. We need to cultivate these characters especially that we will be challenged by mission works. We need to establish hope so that we will not only stay at wishful thinking; faith, through a plan of action, joy to keep us going despite difficulties and love that will sustain us all  throughout our lives.

 

Our theme in this Advent always start with the term “Go”. “To go” means to be deliberate in what we are going to do; to proclaim and make known the message of the Gospel; to take action not only in our words, but through the life we live.

 

The world is fed up by people who speak so much yet do not model what they speak in their lives. And so the need to go out and proclaim the message of God through our lives must be deliberately made with hope in our hearts, with faith and joy, and in love. And in order to proclaim the Gospel, we need to be courageous as a people.

 

Father Jun believes that in order for the message of the Gospel to be effectively brought out to the world, we need to receive it properly first.

 

Today, the scripture reading teaches us that the Gospel starts at home. In the context of family, we need to be courageous enough to receive the Gospel. Joseph being a righteous man, when he heard the “Good News” was afraid first. But when the angel of the Lord told him not to be afraid, he took courage and obeyed God immediately. Courage pushes us to do what is right, and if we do and obey what is right, God always intervenes in our life.

 

The seed of the Gospel is always planted in the family. This is why Jesus came to the world in human form. The Gospel is truly nurtured in the atmosphere of love. How we nurture and cultivate the Gospel in our family will determine how far we can go in our mission as a church. We should share the Gospel in our family by sharing our life with them because the message of the Gospel is intricately embedded in our own story. Once the “Word of God” is well planted and watered within the family, that family is transformed, will change, and will begin to bloom, spreading their influence to the community and farther in the world.

 

The world is longing for the Gospel. It takes courage to evangelize our own home, but by the grace of God, we can start it and be mindful of the calling to bring out the Gospel, to be courageous in receiving and proclaiming the word of God.

Go and Proclaim with Joy

Theme: “Go and Proclaim with Joy”

3rd Sunday of Advent- Year A December 11, 2022

First Reading: Isaiah 35:1-10

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 146:2 &7,3&5,9-10

Second Reading: James 5:7-10

Gospel Reading: Matthew 11:2-11

Our Advent Sunday readings have been talking about hope, faith, joy, and love. These are the virtues that God wants us to build and cultivate in order for us to become effective in bringing out the Gospel and as we prepare our lives for His second coming.

At the on-set of the year, we are reminded of these virtues. We need to prepare our hearts for Christmas so that when Christmas time comes to our lives, we know what we are celebrating; that God, our Emmanuel has come to live with us. As we prepare our hearts, let us also prepare our lives for the whole year! For God will open door of blessings and the anointing of the Spirit will bring many breakthroughs in our lives.

The first Advent is proof of Christ’s second coming. Christ didn’t back out the first time, and so we anticipate the fulfilment of His promise – His next coming. And for this year, as commissioned people of God in bringing out the Gospel, our activities will be geared to our mission – to preach and proclaim the Good News. We are now the hands and feet of God, the Body of Christ. It is our responsibility now to bring the knowledge of God’s love to the people, especially those who are loaded with so much burden, so much guilt and sin that they forgot that Jesus is no longer counting those sins against them. They need to know and understand, they need to see the freedom that God has given them; the healing and restoration that Jesus has provided. And for the Gospel to be brought out to them and the world, we need to go and bring it with our own lives.

Today, we lit the candle of joy. “When we set our hope in Christ, and anchor our faith in the Son of God, joy comes in”. Many people find it hard to find joy, nowadays. “Joy is the flower/fruit of setting our hope in Jesus.” Joy can evoke and sometimes bring happiness, but joy is an inner strength in us that propel and push us to overcome whatever problems we have in life. Scriptures said, Jesus endured the suffering in the cross because of the joy that was set before Him. When we go out in the world to preach the Gospel, it is the joy of the Lord that will be our strength; it will give us the spiritual energy inside, that though we our feeling wasted and tired outwardly, inwardly, there is a renewal happening. This is the same joy that will be our driving force in our life as we take care our children, our family, and our community no matter how difficult it is. it will cause us to serve Christ when others are already giving up, when others are losing already the ability to serve Christ. This is how joy is important in bringing out the Good News.

The essence of bringing out the Gospel, is to change the world around us. Gospel transforms the lives of the people. It is like a rain that comes to the desert, when we bring it to the wilderness, the people who hear and receive it starts to bloom. With hope, faith, joy and love, let us be the “rain” that “blooms out the desert”. Let us go out of our comfort zones and venture with joy in our hearts. Hardships and problems of life might cause us to doubt, but like St. John the Baptist, he anchored his faith in God’s words, we might also have that trust and confidence in the promises of Christ. It makes a great difference when Christ comes in the picture of the life of the people.

Finally, Father Jun pushes us to go out to the world, praying that we will no longer be “silent Christians”. Life is short, we need to prepare our hearts for God’s purposes in our lives. Let us not miss out what God has stored for us!

Go and Proclaim with Faith

Theme: “Go and Proclaim with Faith”

2nd Sunday of Advent- Year A December 4, 2022

First Reading: Isaiah 11:1-10

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 72;1-2,3-4,5-6,7-8

Second Reading: Romans 15:4-7, 13

Gospel Reading: Matthew 3:1-12

Our Advent readings focused on these words… be watchful, prepared, and ready.

And these should be our attitude as people of God. (Fr. Jun)

To be watchful is to be careful with our lives and our hearts. We should be always on guard with what’s in our hearts, not allowing bad things to come in and ruin our happiness. Hatred, anger, and unforgiveness should have no place in our hearts.

Preparing… for something good that will come to our lives. “Because every encounter with Jesus always brings joy to us”, in prayer and in Eucharist, there is always something good that is bound to happen. But the question is, are we prepared? Oftentimes, we miss out on the things God prepared for us because of unpreparedness. Advent is not just a preparation of Christmas; it is a preparation of our hearts for the second coming of Christ. The coming of Christ to us in prayer and in Eucharist, signifies God’s desire to live with us. He wants to share, to stay in our lives. He wants to be part of our homes, of our families, dealing with our kids and simply living with us. But sometimes we miss out on this act of love of God because we are not prepared. There are so many things God has prepared for us every day, but often, these good news turn out to be bad news because of our unpreparedness.

If we’ve been watchful of our hearts, and have been preparing our lives, then we are ready for His coming. Whatever circumstances or happenings or situations we will be facing, we are ready! And basically, this is what Advent is about. We prepare for God’s daily visitation to us, for the whole year.  We can expect the worst to happen, but we can hope for the best to come, since we are ready. Expecting the worst requires a tough mind. We should be tough in facing and dealing the circumstances of life. And the best way to start this year is to have the attitude of hope. We should always learn to start with hope so that we can reach our destination. There are many things in this world that we cannot control and sometimes, we need the grace of God to accept the things we cannot change but at the same time hopeful because of what God has promised.

Today, we lit the second candle of Advent, symbolizing faith. It is good always to have the attitude of hope but it cannot suffice our being prepared and ready for the things that will be coming. Faith is about having a plan of action for the things we hope for. If we want to change things in our life; if we want to get out from poverty, from misery then we should start changing what we are doing so that things around us will change too.

Finally, Father Jun encouraged us to hope and trust God. This is faith, setting goals and having a plan of action. God does not only believe in us, He trusts us also. And if God believes in you, you should also believe in yourself.

Go and Proclaim with Hope

Theme: “Go and Proclaim with Hope”

1st Sunday of Advent – November 27, 2022

First Reading: Isaiah 2:1-5

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 122;1-2,3-4,8-9

Second Reading: Romans 13: 10-14

Gospel Reading: Matthew 24: 37-44

In today’s Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, Fr. Jun reminds us that the Season of Advent is our preparation for the Lord’s second coming.

How we prepare for Christmas reflects how we prepare for Christ. If we do not prepare, there is a tendency to get too caught up with the flurry of activities and forget that the main reason for the season is Jesus. So what are we preparing during Advent?

  1. We prepare for the coming of Christ as Savior of the world.
  2. We prepare for the coming of Christ as our personal Savior.

Part of this preparation is bringing the Gospel to our heart. 1 Peter 1:13 (NLT) says  “So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.” We are to be active in anticipating the coming of Jesus. Not passive where we simply wait for Him.

There are two kinds of preparation: Physical (Material preparation) and the Spiritual Preparation.

We should always have hope, faith, joy and love in our hearts as part of our preparation. Advent is the preparing of our mind and heart to live with God forever. To live with Jesus, we have to learn to live Holy Lives. Holiness is not about being perfect. Holiness is about trying your best to become who God wants you to be.

After we prepare ourselves, we will now go to missions to share Jesus to others. Go into missions and spread His good news. He also reminded us to set our hope fully in Christ not just this Advent season, but in our daily lives as we prepare for Jesus’ second coming.

Feast of Christ the King

Theme: “Blessed be the King”

34th Sunday in Ordinary Time Feast of Christ the King 

First Reading: Jeremiah 23:1-6

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 145:1-3,5-7,10-11,13

Second Reading: Colossians 1:13-20

Gospel Reading: Luke 23:33-43

Homily by Romie-Jun Peñalosa

Fr. Jun started his homily by giving a brief history on why we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. The Feast of Christ the King was instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI. World War I just ended and when they thought that it was the war that would end all wars, people started focusing on politics. This was the time when people started lost faith in religion and this paved the way for the rise of secularism and atheism.

Secularism is the belief that there should be a separation between religion and the economic aspects of life. For secularism, faith is now just a personal and private matter. Pope Pius also saw an increasing mindset of atheism and he knew that if this continued, people will compartmentalize God in a box.

Christ the King was created to destroy that mindset so that we can establish that the Kingdom of God encompasses all. Here we are, 97 years later, and secularism and atheism is rising again. This is why we need to celebrate Christ the King! To establish that the Kingdom of God will be forever and Christ will remain supreme.

Our first reading prophesies about a King Who will rule wisely. Our second reading speaks about our rescue from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. But then the Gospel talks about the crucifixion – showing a king dying on the cross for a slave. This is why we say that God’s love is not only radical, but scandalous as well.

This King did  not come to lord over us but to serve us. The thief who was crucified with Him recognized this and saw Him as the prophesied Messiah. The thief will teach us how to be saved. A thief who recognized Him as Christ the King.

This thief is named St. Dismas, and he is the patron saint of criminals. Here is what we can learn from him:

  1. Acknowledge your sin. – People come to war justifying themselves instead of acknowledging their sin. But not this thief.
  2. Acknowledge Jesus as LORD.
  3. Acknowledge Jesus as SAVIOR.

He did all this when he said. “Remember (‘Save me’)  me when you enter into your Kingdom.”

May we be bold like this thief in proclaiming that Christ is King! A King who came to save us!

He is our King, Lord, and Savior. Professing this leads us to salvation. May this be our continuous confession.

Fr. Jun ended his homily by asking the question: “Who sits in the throne room in your heart? Is it still Jesus?” Let us grow in our confession of Jesus as King of our lives. He further challenges us to not do it privately but publicly. CHRIST IS KING IN MY LIFE!
