MONDAY, December 15, 2025Monday of the 3rd Week of Advent Memorial of Saint Mary Paula di RosaPATHWAYS OF HOPE: “CHOOSE JOY. CHOOSE JESUS”[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 21 : 23 - 27When Jesus had come into the temple area,the chief priests and the elders of the people approached himas he was teaching and said,"By what authority are you doing these things?And who gave you this authority?"Jesus said to them in reply,"I shall ask you one question, and if you answer it for me,then I shall tell you by what authority I do these things.Where was John's baptism from?Was it of heavenly or of human origin?"They discussed this among themselves and said,"If we say 'Of heavenly origin,' he will say to us,'Then why did you not believe him?'But if we say, 'Of human origin,' we fear the crowd,for they all regard John as a prophet."So they said to Jesus in reply, "We do not know."He himself said to them,"Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things."Video by PJ Cumpas: Vice-President of Operations, Vice-Dean for Student Affairs and Professor, Don Bosco School of Theology; Core Group Member of Tahanan ng Panginoon Young Professionals (TNP-YP), South District B Evangelization Team Member; Covenanted Member of Ligaya ng Panginoon#POHopgiver #LandasngPagasa #catholic #biblereadings #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #love #pray #bible #christianity #prayer #hope #gospel
