📖MABUTING BALITA
Lucas 13, 22-30

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Lucas

Noong panahong iyon, nagpatuloy si Hesus sa kanyang paglalakbay. Siya’y nagtuturo sa bawat bayan at nayon na kanyang dinaraanan patungong Jerusalem. May isang nagtanong sa kanya, “Ginoo, kakaunti po ba ang maliligtas?” Sinabi niya, “Pagsikapan ninyong pumasok sa makipot na pintuan. Sinasabi ko sa inyo, marami ang magpipilit na pumasok ngunit hindi makapapasok.

“Kapag ang pinto’y isinara na ng puno ng sambahayan, magtitiis kayong nakatayo sa labas, at katok nang katok. Sasabihin ninyo, ‘Panginoon, papasukin po ninyo kami.’ Sasagutin niya kayo, ‘Hindi ko alam kung tagasaan kayo!’ At sasabihin ninyo, ‘Kumain po kami at uminom na kasalo ninyo, at nagturo pa kayo sa mga lansangan namin.’ Sasabihin naman ng Panginoon, ‘Hindi ko alam kung tagasaan kayo! Lumayo kayo sa akin, kayong lahat na nagsisigawa ng masama!’ Tatangis kayo at magngangalit ang inyong ngipin kapag nakita ninyong nasa kaharian ng Diyos sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob, at ang lahat ng propeta, at kayo nama’y ipinagtabuyan sa labas! At darating ang mga tao buhat sa silangan at kanluran, sa hilaga at timog, at dudulog sa hapag sa kaharian ng Diyos. Tunay ngang may nahuhuling mauuna, at may nauunang mahuhuli.”

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.

📖UNANG PAGBASA
Roma 8, 26-30

Pagbasa mula sa sulat ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma

Mga kapatid, tinutulungan tayo ng Espiritu sa ating kahinaan. Hindi tayo marunong manalangin nang wasto, kaya’t ang Espiritu ang lumuluhog para sa atin, sa paraang di magagawa ng pananalita. At nauunawaan ng Diyos na nakasasaliksik sa puso ng tao, ang ibig sabihin ng Espiritu, sapagkat ang Espiritu’y lumuluhog para sa mga banal, ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos

Alam nating sa lahat ng bagay, ang Diyos ay gumagawang kasama ang mga nagmamahal sa kanya, ang mga tinawag ayon sa kanyang panukala, sa kanilang ikabubuti. Sapagkat sa mula’t mula pa’y alam na ng Diyos kung sino ang sa kanya; ang mga ito’y itinalaga niyang maging tulad ng kanyang Anak, at sa gayun, naging panganay natin siya. At ang mga itinalaga niya noong una pa ay kanyang tinawag. Ang mga tinawag niya ay kanya ring pinawalang-sala, at ang kanyang mga pinawalang-sala ay kanya namang binigyan ng karangalan.

Ang Salita ng Diyos.

📖Today’s Bible Verse of the Day Reflections

“Strive to enter through the narrow Gate” What does this line tell us? It reveals that we cannot enter Heaven by our own will or through our own effort.

Furthermore, it tells us that though some will try to get to Heaven through their own effort, this approach will not work.

Upon meeting our Lord, after death, they will be surprised that they are not a member of His Kingdom. This clear and somewhat shocking statement from our Lord should have the effect of causing you to step back and look at your life so as to sincerely and humbly examine the path you are on.

Jesus’ directness and clarity on this real experience that some will have should help to open your eyes so as to honestly examine if He is speaking about you.

It takes true humility to face the truth, at times, and to admit if we are trying to rely more upon ourselves than upon Christ.

The “narrow gate” is that gate through which the humble enter. Pride and self-sufficiency lead us to attempt to make our own path to Heaven. But this path is never the correct one. Entering the “narrow gate” also means that we listen to God.

He, as the divine Shepherd, is always calling to us in a gentle way. Only when we are attentive to His voice will we know where He is leading us. Only then will we discover the way through the one and only narrow gate.

Reflect, today, upon that moment when you meet our Lord face to face. That will that encounter be like? Will it be one where He greets you with open arms saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into your reward.” Or will it be one in which He says, “I do not know you.”

Now is the time to face your life of faith with honesty, striving to rely only upon the strength of our divine Lord.

📖Gospel – Luke 13:22-30

22 Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.

23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them,

24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.

25 After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

26 And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’

27 Then he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’

28 And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out.

29 And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God.

30 For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

Catholic Daily Mass Readings for October 29 2025, Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time

1st Reading – Romans 8:26-30

Brothers and sisters:
26 The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.

27 And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.

28 We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

29 For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

30 And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.

📖MABUTING BALITA
Lucas 6, 12-19

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Lucas

Noong mga araw na iyon, umahon si Hesus sa isang burol at magdamag doong nanalangin. Kinaumagahan, tinawag niya ang kanyang mga alagad, at pumili siya ng Labindalawa sa kanila, na tinawag niyang mga apostol: si Simon na pinangalanan niyang Pedro, at si Andres na kanyang kapatid; sina Santiago, Juan, Felipe, Bartolome, Mateo, Tomas, at Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, si Simon ang Makabayan; si Judas na anak ni Santiago, at si Judas Iscariote, na naging taksil.

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.

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.

📖UNANG PAGBASA
Efeso 2, 19-22

Pagbasa mula sa sulat ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga taga-Efeso

Mga kapatid, hindi na kayo dayuhan o taga-ibang bansa, kundi kababayan ng mga hinirang ng Diyos at kabilang sa kanyang sambahayan. Kayo’y itinayo rin sa saligan ng mga apostol at mga propeta, na ang batong panulukan ay si Kristo Hesus. At sa pamamagitan niya, nagkakaugnay-ugnay ang bawat bahagi ng gusali at nagiging isang templong banal. Dahil din sa inyong pakikipag-isa sa kanya, kayo ma’y kasama nilang naging bahagi ng tahanan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu.

Ang Salita ng Diyos.

Prayer;

Lord Jesus, help me to always pray whenever I want to make a big decision. Let me follow Your example of praying and always seeking the presence of the Father in my life. Help me to have deep communion with You, God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus, I love you. Amen.

📖Today’s Bible Verse of the Day Reflections

It is mind-boggling to imagine that Jesus can pray. Because we know that Jesus is God, we wouldn’t expect that He would pray for anything because He owns everything.

But indeed Jesus prayed. So what does Jesus want to teach the apostles and us today by praying all night? Here are a few lessons we learned from His very important action.

Lesson no. 1: Prayer to God is one form of Knowing, Loving, Praising and Glorifying God. This is the reason why God created us. Jesus teaches us to constantly pray to God so that God’s name is glorified.

Lesson No. 2: Prayer is the act of deep communion with God. By praying, Jesus was in deep communion and constant communication with God the Father and The Holy Spirit. Jesus wants us to learn that through prayer we will have a perfect unity with the Holy Trinity.

Lesson No. 3: The following day, Jesus chose his twelve apostles who would be the ones to continue the spread of His Good News to the world.

This was a very big decision to make. Jesus did not need to pray over that but he did that to teach us that before we make a big decision, we need to have deep communion with the Holy Trinity.

We know very well that we need to pray in order to know and fulfill the will of the Heavenly Father. This is because every day and every moment of the day, we do not walk in perfect harmony with God.

Lesson No. 4: Jesus teaches us that God wants much more from our quiet time than we are now giving Him. God is calling you today, from the example of Jesus, to spend much more of your time every day of your life in prayer.

Therefore, let us today commit to praying every time we are about to make big decisions in our lives. Let us also dedicate more time to God so that our communion with God will get better day by day. Anytime you have some adequate time to rest, devote a good portion of that time to God.

📖Today's Gospel – Luke 6:12-16

12 Jesus went up to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.

13 When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles:

14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

15 Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot,

16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

1st Reading – Ephesians 2:19-22

Brothers and sisters:
19 You are no longer visitors and new arrivals. Instead, you are citizens among the saints in the household of God,

20 having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the preeminent cornerstone.

21 In him, all that has been built is framed together, rising up into a holy temple in the Lord.

22 In him, you also have been built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

📖MABUTING BALITA
Lucas 13, 10-17

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Lucas

Noong panahong iyon, si Hesus ay nagtuturo sa isang sinagoga sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. May isang babae roon na labingwalong taon nang may karamdaman, gawa ng masamang espiritung nasa kanya. Siya’y hukot na hukot at hindi na makaunat. Nang makita ni Hesus ang babae, tinawag niya ito at sinabi, “Magaling ka na sa iyong karamdaman!” At ipinatong ni Hesus and kanyang mga kamay sa babae; noon di’y nakaunat ito at nagpuri sa Diyos. Ngunit nagalit ang tagapamahala ng sinagoga sapagkat nagpagaling si Hesus sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Kaya’t sinabi niya sa mga tao, “May anim na araw na inilaan upang ipagtrabaho. Pumarito kayo sa mga araw na iyan upang magpagaling, at huwag sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.” Sinagot siya ng Panginoon, “Mga mapagpaimbabaw! Hindi ba’t kinakalag ninyo sa sabsaban ang inyong baka o a**o at dinadala sa painuman kahit Araw ng Pamamahinga? Ang babaing ito na mula sa lipi ni Abraham ay ginapos ni Satanas sa loob ng labingwalong taon. Hindi ba dapat na siya’y kalagan kahit na Araw ng Pamamahinga?” Napahiya ang lahat ng kalaban ni Hesus sa sagot niyang ito; at nagalak naman ang madla sa mga kahanga-hangang bagay na ginawa niya.

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.
