📖MABUTING BALITA

Lucas 11, 29-32

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Lucas

Noong panahong iyon, samantalang dumaragsa ang mga tao, sinabi ni Hesus, “Napakasama ng lahing ito! Naghahanap sila ng palatandaan mula sa langit, subalit walang ipapakita sa kanila maliban sa palatandaang inilalarawan ng nangyari kay Jonas. Kung paanong naging isang palatandaan si Jonas sa mga taga-Ninive, gayun din naman, magiging isang palatandaan sa lahing ito ang Anak ng Tao. Sa Araw ng Paghuhukom, titindig ang Reyna ng Timog laban sa lahing ito at sila’y hahatulan niya ng kaparusahan. Sapagkat nanggaling siya sa dulo ng daigdig upang pakinggan ang karunungan ni Solomon; ngunit higit na di-hamak kay Solomon ang naririto! Sa Araw ng Paghuhukom ay titindig ang mga taga-Ninive laban sa lahing ito at hahatulan ng kaparusahan, sapagkat nagsisi sila dahil sa pangangaral ni Jonas; ngunit higit na di-hamak kay Jonas ang naririto!”

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.

Jonas 3, 1-10

Pagbasa mula sa aklat ni propeta Jonas

Sinabi uli ng Panginoon kay Jonas: “Pumunta ka sa Lungsod ng Ninive at ipahayag mo ang mga ipinasasabi ko sa iyo.” Nagpunta nga si Jonas sa Ninive. Malaki ang lungsod na ito. Aabutin ng tatlong araw kung lalakaring pabagtas. Siya’y pumasok sa lungsod.

Pagkaraan ng maghapong paglalakad, malakas niyang ipinahayag, “Gugunawin ang Ninive pagkaraan ng apatnapung araw!” Naniwala ang mga tagaroon sa pahayag na ito mula sa Diyos. Kaya, nag-ayuno sila at nagdamit ng sako bilang tanda ng lubos na pagsisisi at pagtalikod sa kanilang mga kasalanan.

Nang mabalitaan ito ng hari ng Ninive, bumaba siya sa kanyang trono, naghubad ng balabal, nagdamit din ng sako, at naupo sa abo. At ipinasabi niya sa mga taga-Ninive: “Ito’y utos ng hari at ng kanyang mga pinuno. Walang kakain isa man. Wala ring iinom, maging tao o hayop. Lahat ng tao at hayop ay magdamit ng sako. Taimtim na manalangin sa Diyos ang bawat isa. Pagsisihan ng lahat ang nagawa nilang kasalanan at talikdan ang masamang pamumuhay. Baka sa paraang ito’y mapawi ang galit ng Diyos, magbago siya ng kanyang pasiya at hindi na ituloy ang balak na paglipol sa atin.”

Nakita ng Diyos ang kanilang pagtalikod sa kasamaan kaya hindi na itinuloy ang paggunaw sa Ninive.

Ang Salita ng Diyos.

📖Gospel – Luke 11:29-32

29 While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.

30 Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

31 At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here.

32 At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.”

1st Reading – Jonah 3:1-10

1 The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:

2 “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you.”

3 So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD’s bidding. Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it.

4 Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed,”

5 when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.

6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.

7 Then he had this proclaimed throughout Nineveh, by decree of the king and his nobles: “Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep, shall taste anything; they shall not eat, nor shall they drink water.

8 Man and beast shall be covered with sackcloth and call loudly to God; every man shall turn from his evil way and from the violence he has in hand.

9 Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold his blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish.”

10 When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

📖Mateo 6, 7-15

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Mateo

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Sa pananalangin ninyo’y huwag kayong gagamit ng napakaraming salita gaya ng ginagawa ng mga Hentil. Ang akala nila’y pakikinggan sila ng Diyos dahil sa dami ng kanilang salita. Huwag ninyo silang tutularan. Sapagkat alam na ng inyong Ama ang inyong kinakailangan bago pa ninyo hingin sa kanya. Ganito kayo mananalangin:

‘Ama naming nasa langit,
sambahin nawa ang pangalan mo.
Ikaw nawa ang maghari sa amin,
sundin nawa ang iyong kalooban
dito sa lupa tulad ng sa langit.
Bigyan mo kami ng pagkaing kailangan namin sa araw na ito;
At patawarin mo kami sa aming mga kasalanan,
tulad ng aming pagpapatawad sa mga nagkakasala sa amin.
At huwag mo kaming iharap sa mahigpit na pagsubok,
kundi ilayo mo kami sa Masama!
Sapagkat iyo ang kaharian at ang
kapangyarihan at ang kapurihan,
magpakailanman! Amen.

Sapagkat kung pinatatawad ninyo ang mga nagkakasala sa inyo, patatawarin din kayo ng inyong Amang nasa langit. Ngunit kung hindi ninyo pinatatawad ang mga nagkakasala sa inyo, hindi kayo patatawarin ng inyong Ama.”

Isaias 55, 10-11

Pagbasa mula sa aklat ni propeta Isaias

Sinasabi ng Panginoon:
“Ang ulan at niyebe
paglagpak sa lupa’y di na nagbabalik,
aagos na ito sa balat ng lupa’t nagiging pandilig,
kaya may pagkai’t butil na panghasik.
Ganyan din ang aking mga salita,
magaganap nito ang lahat kong nasa.”

📖Today’s Bible Verse of the Day Reflections

Today, Jesus is teaching us about prayer and forgiveness. In The Lord’s Prayer, we ask God to forgive us our sins with the same measure that we use to forgive others.

The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer that was given to us by Jesus as a perfect example of how to pray to God.

Jesus Christ insists on the virtue of forgiveness because it is through forgiveness that strong bonds of love are nurtured among us.

Due to our human weakness, we tend to think that we deserve or it is our right to be forgiven by others whom we have wronged. We forget that others too want to be forgiven by us.

In order to balance this situation, Jesus gives us a caveat that when we seek forgiveness from God, we will only be forgiven if we have forgiven others who have sought our forgiveness.

But there are others who do not seek forgiveness from us! What about them? Should we forgive them? Yes, we should.

We should forgive them so that we can offload that burden of hatred from ourselves and place it in the hands of Jesus.

When we fail to forgive others, whether they seek forgiveness or not, that hatred in our hearts becomes like a wound with pus which, if it remains untreated over time, becomes bigger and bigger, smellier and smellier and more painful. It incapacitates you from doing so many things and people avoid you.

Jesus tells us to forgive unconditionally in the same way our Heavenly Father will forgive us unconditionally. The one person God loves most is a repentant sinner.

Let us today embrace love and forgiveness within ourselves, our families, and our community so that evil can begin to diminish as good triumphs.

📖Gospel – Matthew 6:7-15

Jesus said to his disciples:
7 “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words.

8 Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This is how you are to pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,

10 thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread;

12 and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

14 “If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”

1st Reading – Isaiah 55:10-11

10 Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down And do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats,

11 So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

UNANG PAGBASA
📖1 Juan 2, 29 – 3, 6

Pagbasa mula sa unang sulat ni Apostol San Juan

Minamahal kong mga kapatid, kung alam ninyong si Kristo’y matuwid, dapat din ninyong malamang ang bawat gumagawa ng matuwid ay anak ng Diyos.

Isipin ninyo kung gaano kalaki ang pag-ibig sa atin ng Ama! Tinatawag niya tayong mga anak ng Diyos – at iyan ang totoo. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit hindi tayo nakikilala ng mga makasanlibutan: hindi nila kinikilala ang Diyos. Mga minamahal, sa ngayon, tayo’y mga anak ng Diyos, ngunit hindi pa nahahayag ang magiging kalagayan natin. Gayunman, alam nating sa pagparitong muli ni Kristo, tayo’y matutulad sa kanya, sapagkat makikita natin siya sa kanyang likas na kalagayan. Kaya’t ang sinumang may pag-asa sa kanya ay nagpapakalinis, tulad ni Kristo – siya’y malinis.

Ang bawat nagkakasala ay lumalabag sa kautusan ng Diyos, sapagkat ang kasalanan ay paglabag sa kautusan. Nalalaman ninyong naparito si Kristo upang pawiin ang ating mga kasalanan; at siya’y walang kasalanan. Ang nananatili sa kanya ay hindi nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala. Ang sinumang nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala ay hindi nakakita ni nakakilala sa kanya.

Ang Salita ng Diyos.

📖Mabuting Balita: Juan 1:29-34

Kinabukasan, nakita ni Juan si Hesus na lumalapit sa kanya. Sinabi niya, “Ito ang Kordero ng Diyos. Ito ang nag-aalis ng mga kasalanan ng sanlibutan! Siya ang tinutukoy ko nang sabihin kong dumarating na kasunod ko ang isang higit sa akin sapagkat siya’y siya na bago pa ako ipanganak. Hindi ko rin siya lubos na nakikilala noon, bagamat ako’y naparitong nagbibinyag sa tubig upang ipakilala siya sa Israel.”
Ito ang patotoo ni Juan, “Nakita ko ang Espiritung bumababa buhat sa langit, gaya ng isang kalapati, at nanatili sa kanya.

Hindi ko nga siya lubos na nakikilala noon, ngunit ang nagsugo sa akin upang magbinyag sa tubig ang nagsabi sa akin, ‘Makikita mo ang Espiritu na bababa at mananatili sa isang tao – siya ang magbibinyag sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo.’ Nakita ko ito, at pinatototohanan kong siya ang Anak ng Diyos.”

Today’s Bible Verse of the Day Reflections

Wow, the insight that St John the Baptist had regarding Jesus is quite inspiring, mysterious, and amazing. He sees Jesus coming toward him and he immediately states three revealed truths about Jesus:

Jesus is the Lamb of God;
Jesus ranks ahead of John;
Jesus existed before John.
How would John know all of this? What was the source of such profound statements about Jesus? Most likely John would have studied the Scriptures of the time and would have known the many statements about the coming Messiah spoken by the prophets of old.

He would have known the Psalms and the Books of Wisdom. But, first and foremost, John would have known what he knew by the gift of faith. He would have had true spiritual insight granted by God.

This fact reveals not only the greatness of John and the depth of his faith, it also reveals the ideal we must strive for in life. We must strive to daily walk by authentic spiritual insight granted by God.
