Aurelius, Obispo ng CarthageLANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “MANAMPALATAYA NG HINDI HUMIHINGI NG TANDA”[MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 12 : 38 - 42Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ng ilang eskriba at Pariseo kay Hesus, “Guro, maaari po bang pagpakitaan ninyo kami ng tanda mula sa langit?” Sumagot si Hesus, “Lahing masama at di-tapat sa Diyos! Naghahanap kayo ng tanda ngunit walang ipakikita sa inyo maliban sa palatandaaang inilalarawan ng nangyari kay Propeta Jonas. Kung paanong si Jonas ay tatlong araw at tatlong gabing nasa tiyan ng dambuhalang isda, gayun din ang Anak ng Tao ay tatlong araw at tatlong gabing sasailalim ng lupa. Sa Araw ng Paghuhukom, titindig ang mga taga-Ninive laban sa lahing ito at ito’y hahatulan ng kaparusahan, sapagkat nagsisi sila dahil sa pangangaral ni Jonas; ngunit higit na di-hamak kay Jonas ang naririto! Sa araw na yaon, titindig ang Reyna ng Timog laban sa lahing ito at ito’y hahatulan ng kaparusahan, sapagkat nanggaling siya sa dulo ng daigdig upang pakinggan ang karunungan ni Solomon; ngunit higit na di-hamak kay Solomon ang naririto!” Pagninilay ni 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

Sunday, July 19, 2026Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Pope Saint Symmachus PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “SHINING FOR CHRIST UNTIL THE HARVEST” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 13: 24 - 43Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:"The kingdom of heaven may be likenedto a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy cameand sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said,'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'His slaves said to him,'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weedsyou might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest;then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning;but gather the wheat into my barn."'"He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seedthat a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds,yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush,and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'"He spoke to them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeastthat a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flouruntil the whole batch was leavened."All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke to them only in parables,to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:I will open my mouth in parables,I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundationof the world.Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said,"Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one,and the enemy who sows them is the devil.The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire,so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels,and they will collect out of his kingdomall who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace,where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear."or [MATTHEW 13: 24 - 30]Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a manwho sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy cameand sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said,'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?

Linggo, Hulyo 19, 2026Ika-16 Linggo sa Karaniwang PanahonPaggunita kay Papa San SimacoLANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “HINDI DAHAS, KUNDI PAGPAPAGALING”[MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 13 : 24 - 43Noong panahong iyon, inilahad ni Hesus ang talinghagang ito sa mga tao. “Ang paghahari ng Diyos ay katulad nito: may isang taong naghasik ng mabuting binhi sa kanyang bukid. Isang gabi, samantalang natutulog ang mga tao, dumating ang kanyang kaaway at naghasik ng masasamang damo sa triguhan. Nang tumubo ang trigo at magkauhay, lumitaw rin ang masasamang damo. Kaya’t lumapit ang mga alipin sa puno ng sambahayan at sinabi rito, ‘Hindi po ba mabuting binhi ang inihasik ninyo sa inyong bukid? Bakit po may damo ngayon?’ Sumagot siya, ‘Isang kaaway ang may kagagawan nito.’ Tinanong siya ng mga utusan, ‘Bubunutin po ba namin ang mga iyon?’ ‘Huwag,’ sagot niya. ‘Baka mabunot pati trigo. Hayaan na ninyong lumago kapwa hanggang sa anihan. Pag-aani’y sasabihin ko sa mga tagapag-ani: Tipunin muna ninyo ang mga damo at inyong pagbigkis-bigkisin upang sunugin, at ang trigo’y inyong tipunin sa aking kamalig.’”Isa na namang talinghaga ang inilahad ni Hesus sa kanila. “Ang paghahari ng Diyos ay katulad nito: may isang taong nagtanim ng isang butil ng mustasa sa kanyang bukid. Pinakamaliit ito sa lahat ng mga binhi, ngunit kapag natanim na at lumago ay nagiging pinakamalaki sa lahat ng puno ng gulay. Ito’y nagiging punongkahoy, anupat napamumugaran ng mga ibon ang mga sanga nito.”Nagsalaysay pa siya ng ibang talinghaga. “Ang paghahari ng Diyos ay katulad ng lebadura na inihalo ng isang babae sa tatlong takal na harina, at umalsa ang buong masa.” Sinabi ni Hesus sa mga tao ang lahat ng ito sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga at wala siyang sinabi sa kanila nang hindi gumagamit ng talinghaga. Ginawa niya ito upang matupad ang sinabi ng propeta:“Magsasalita ako sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga,ihahayag ko sa kanila ang mga bagay na nalilihim mula nang likhain ang sanlibutan.”Pagkatapos, iniwan ni Hesus ang mga tao at pumasok sa bahay. Lumapit ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanya, “Ipaliwanag po ninyo sa amin ang talinghaga tungkol sa masasamang damo sa bukid.” Ito ang tugon ni Hesus, “Ang Anak ng Tao ang naghahasik ng mabuting binhi. Ang bukid ay ang sanlibutan. Ang mga taong pinaghaharian ng Diyos ang mabuting binhi at ang mga taong pinaghaharian ng diyablo ang masasamang damo. Ang kaaway na naghasik ng mga iyon ay walang iba kundi ang diyablo. Ang pag-aani ay ang katapusan ng daigdig, at ang mga anghel ang mga tagapag-ani. Kung paanong iniipon ang mga damo at sinusunog, gayon din ang mangyayari sa katapusan ng daigdig. Susuguin ng Anak ng Tao ang kanyang mga anghel, at iipunin nila mula sa kanyang pinaghaharian ang lahat ng nagiging sanhi ng pagkakasala at ang lahat ng gumagawa ng masama, at ihahagis sa maningas na pugon. Doo’y mananangis sila at magngangalit ang kanilang ngipin. At magliliwanag na parang araw ang mga matuwid sa kaharian ng kanilang Ama. Ang mga pandinig ay makinig!”Pagninilay ni Bogs Quitain: Lawyer.

Maraming sumunod sa kanya at pinagaling niya ang lahat ng maysakit, ngunit mahigpit niyang ipinagbilin sa kanila na huwag ipamamalita ang tungkol sa kanya. Nangyari ito upang matupad ang sinabi ni Propeta Isaias:“Naririto ang lingkod ko na ako rin ang humirang,minamahal ko nang labis, lubos kong kinalulugdan;ang banal kong Espiritu sa kanya ay ibibigay,sa lahat ng mga bansa ibabadha’y katarungan.Hindi siya makikipagtalo, mahinahon kung mangusap,ang tinig niya sa lansanga’y tinig lamang na paanas;hindi niya puputulin yaong tambong nakahapay,ni hindi rin papatayin ang umaandap na ilawan,hanggang itong katarunga’y mapagtagumpay niyang ganap;at ang pag-asa ng tao sa kanya ay ilalagak.”Pagninilay ni Gabs Fidel: Development & DISC Personality Coach, Trainer, and Speaker/Head of Worship Team-Familia Community Youth Mission#POHopgiver #LandasngPagasa #catholic #biblereadings #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #love #pray #bible #christianity #prayer #hope #gospel

Biyernes, Hulyo 17, 2026Biyernes ng Ika-15 Linggo sa Karaniwang PanahonPaggunita sa mga Martir Karmelita ng CompiègneLANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “HABAG HINDI HAIN”[MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 12 : 1 - 8Noong panahong iyon, isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, naparaan si Hesus sa triguhan. Nagutom ang kasama niyang mga alagad kaya’t nangitil sila ng uhay at kinain ang mga butil. Nang makita ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila sa kanya, “Tingnan mo ang ginagawa ng iyong mga alagad. Bawal iyan kung Araw ng Pamamahinga.” Sumagot si Hesus, “Hindi ba ninyo nabasa ang ginawa ni David nang magutom siya at ang kanyang mga kasama? Pumasok siya sa bahay ng Diyos at kumain ng tinapay na handog sa Diyos at pinakain din niya ang kanyang mga kasama. Labag sa Kautusan na kanin nila ang tinapay na iyon sapagkat ang mga saserdote lamang ang may karapatang kumain niyon. Hindi pa ba ninyo nababasa sa Kautusan ni Moises na tuwing Araw ng Pamamahinga, lumalabag sa batas tungkol sa araw na ito ang mga saserdote sa templo, gayunma’y hindi nila ipinagkakasala iyon? Sinasabi ko sa inyo, naririto ang isang higit na dakila kaysa templo. Hindi sana ninyo hinatulan ang mga walang sala kung alam ninyo ang kahulugan ng mga salitang ito, ‘Habag ang ibig ko, hindi hain.’ Sapagkat ang Araw ng Pamamahinga ay nasa ilalim ng kapangyarihan ng Anak ng Tao.”Pagninilay ni Neren Quitain: Teacher.

Sapagkat naparito ako upang papaglabanin ang anak na lalaki at ang kanyang ama, ang anak na babae at ang kanyang ina, ang manugang na babae at ang kanyang biyenang babae.

Ang tumatanggap sa isang propeta dahil sa siya’y propeta ay tatanggap ng gantimpala ukol sa propeta. At ang tumatanggap sa isang taong matuwid dahil sa siya’y matuwid ay tatanggap ng gantimpalang nauukol sa taong matuwid. At sinumang magbigay ng kahit isang basong tubig na malamig sa isa sa maliliit na ito dahil sa ito’y alagad ko – tinitiyak ko sa inyong tatanggap siya ng gantimpala.”Matapos tagubilinan ang labindalawang alagad, umalis si Hesus upang magturo at mangaral sa mga bayang malapit doon.Pagninilay ni Bob Lopez : Communications specialist.

Linggo, Hulyo 12, 2026Ika-15 Linggo sa Karaniwang PanahonPaggunita kina San Luis Martin at Santa Celia Guerin Martin, mga magulang in Santa Teresa ng Lisieux LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “ANG SALITA NG DIYOS”[MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 13 : 1 - 23 Noon ding araw na iyon, si Hesus ay lumabas ng bahay at naupo sa tabi ng lawa. Pinagkalimpumpunan siya ng makapal na tao, kaya sumakay siya sa isang bangka at doon naupo. Nasa dalampasigan naman ang mga tao. At nagturo siya ng maraming bagay sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga.“May isang magsasakang lumabas upang maghasik. Sa kanyang paghahasik ay may binhing nalaglag sa tabi ng daan. Dumating ang mga ibon at tinuka ang mga iyon. May binhi namang nalaglag sa kabatuhan. Sapagkat manipis lang ang lupa roon, sumibol agad ang binhing iyon, ngunit nang mapabilad sa matinding sikat ng araw ay natuyo, palibhasa’y walang gaanong ugat. May binhi namang nalaglag sa dawagan; lumago ang mga dawag at ininis ang mga iyon. Ngunit ang binhing nalaglag sa mabuting lupa ay nag-uhay: may tigsasandaan, may tig-aanimnapu, at may tigtatatlumpung butil ang bawat uhay. Ang may pandinig ay makinig!”Lumapit ang mga alagad at tinanong si Hesus: “Bakit po ninyo dinadaan sa talinghaga ang inyong pagsasalita sa kanila?” Sumagot siya, “Ipinagkaloob sa inyo na malaman ang mga lihim tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos, ngunit hindi ito ipinagkaloob sa kanila. Sapagkat ang mayroon ay bibigyan pa, at mananagana; ngunit ang wala, kahit ang kakaunting nasa kanya ay kukunin pa. Nagsasalita ako sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga, sapagkat tumitingin sila ngunit hindi nakakikita, at nakikinig ngunit hindi nakaririnig ni nakauunawa.Natutupad nga sa kanila ang hula ni Isaias na nagsasabi:‘Makinig man kayo nang makinig,hindi kayo makauunawa,at tumingin man kayo nang tumingin,hindi kayo makakikita.Sapagkat naging mapurol ang isip ng mga taong ito;mahirap makarinig ang kanilang mga tainga,at ipinikit nila ang kanilang mga mata.Kung di gayon, disin sana’y nakakita ang kanilang mga mata,nakarinig ang kanilang mga tainga,nakaunawa ang kanilang mga isip,at nagbalik-loob sa akin,at pinagaling ko sila, sabi ng Panginoon.’“Mapalad kayo, sapagkat nakakikita ang inyong mga mata at nakaririnig ang inyong mga tainga! Sinasabi ko sa inyo: maraming propeta at matutuwid na tao ang nagnasang makakita sa inyong nakikita, ngunit hindi ito nakita, at makarinig sa inyong naririnig, ngunit hindi ito napakinggan.”“Pakinggan nga ninyo ang kahulugan ng talinghaga tungkol sa manghahasik. Ang mga nakikinig ng Salita tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos ngunit hindi nakauunawa nito ay katulad ng mga binhing nahasik sa tabi ng daan. Dumarating ang Masama at inaagaw ang nahasik sa kanilang puso. Inilalarawan ng binhing nahasik sa kabatuhan ang nakikinig ng Salita at masayang tumatanggap nito kaagad. Ngunit hindi ito tumitimo sa puso nila kaya’t hindi sila nananatili. Pagdating ng mga kapighatian o pag-uusig dahil sa Salita, agad silang nanlalamig. Inilalarawan naman ng naghasik sa dawagan ang nakikinig ng Salita, ngunit naging abala sa mga bagay ukol sa mundong ito, at naging maibigin sa mga kayamanan anupat ang Salita’y nawalan na ng puwang sa kanilang puso, kaya’t hindi makapamunga. At inilalarawan ng naghasik sa matabang lupa ang mga nakikinig ng Salita at nakauunawa nito. Sila’y namumunga: may tigsasandaan, may tig-aanimnapu, at may tigtatalumpu.”Pagninilay ni Ruel Morales : Unit Manager/Financial Adviser-AXA Philippines. Independent Coffee Distributor.

Sunday, July 12, 2026Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Saints Louis Martin and Marie-Azélie Guérin Martin, parents of Saint Theresa of Lisieux PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “STEPPING ON THE PEACE OF JESUS” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 13: 1 - 23 On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea.Such large crowds gathered around himthat he got into a boat and sat down,and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying:"A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path,and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,and when the sun rose it was scorched,and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit,a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear."The disciples approached him and said,"Why do you speak to them in parables?" He said to them in reply,"Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heavenhas been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich;from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, becausethey look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:You shall indeed hear but not understand,you shall indeed look but never see.Gross is the heart of this people,they will hardly hear with their ears,they have closed their eyes,lest they see with their eyesand hear with their earsand understand with their hearts and be converted,and I heal them. "But blessed are your eyes, because they see,and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous peoplelonged to see what you see but did not see it,and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."Hear then the parable of the sower.The seed sown on the path is the onewho hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it,and the evil one comes and steals awaywhat was sown in his heart.The seed sown on rocky groundis the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word,he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word,but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the wordand it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soilis the one who hears the word and understands it,who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold." OR -- MATTHEW 13: 1 - 9On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around himthat he got into a boat and sat down,and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying:"A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path,and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,and when the sun rose it was scorched,and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it.

Masisiyahan ang alagad na matulad sa kanyang guro, at ang alipin na matulad sa kanyang panginoon. Kung ang puno ng sambahayan ay tinawag nilang Beelzebul, lalo na nilang aalimurahin ang kanyang mga kasambahay!“Kaya huwag kayong matakot sa kanila. Walang natatago na di malalantad o nalilihim na di mabubunyag. Ang sinasabi ko sa inyo sa dilim, ulitin ninyo sa liwanag; at ang ibinulong sa inyo ay inyong ipagsigawan. Huwag ninyong katakutan ang pumapatay ng katawan ngunit hindi nakapapatay ng kaluluwa. Sa halip, ang katakutan ninyo’y ang nakapapatay ng kaluluwa at katawan sa impiyerno. Hindi ba ipinagbibili ang maya nang dalawa isang pera? Gayunman, kahit isa sa kanila’y hindi nahuhulog sa lupa kung hindi kalooban ng inyong Ama. Maging ang buhok ninyo’y bilang na lahat.

Kapag nililitis na kayo, huwag kayong mabalisa tungkol sa sasabihin ninyo o kung paano ninyo sasabihin. Pagdating ng oras, ito’y ipagkakaloob sa inyo. Sapagkat hindi kayo ang magsasalita kundi ang Espiritu ng inyong Ama ang magsasalita sa pamamagitan ninyo.“Ipagkakanulo ng kapatid ang kanyang kapatid upang ipapatay; gayun din ang gagawin ng ama sa kanyang anak.

PINATAYO. PINAUWI”[MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 9 : 1 - 8Noong panahong iyon, sumakay si Hesus sa bangka, tumawid sa kabilang ibayo at tumuloy sa sariling bayan. Pagdating niya roon, dinala sa kanya ng ilang katao ang isang paralitikong nakaratay sa kanyang higaan. Nang makita ni Hesus kung gaano kalaki ang kanilang pananalig, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Anak, lakasan mo ang iyong loob! Pinatatawad ka na sa iyong mga kasalanan.” Isinaloob ng ilang eskribang naroon, “Nilalapastangan ng taong ito ang Diyos.” Ngunit batid ni Hesus ang kanilang iniisip kaya’t sinabi niya, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip nang ganyan? Alin ba ang mas madali: ang sabihing, ‘Ipinatatawad na ang mga kasalanan mo,’ o ang sabihing, ‘Tumindig ka at lumakad,’? Patutunayan ko sa inyo na dito sa lupa ang Anak ng Tao’y may kapangyarihang magpatawad ng mga kasalanan.” At sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Tumindig ka, dalhin mo ang iyong higaan, at umuwi ka.” Tumindig nga ang lalaki at umuwi. Nang makita ito ng mga tao, sila’y natakot at nagpuri sa Diyos na nagbigay ng ganitong kapangyarihan sa mga tao.Pagninilay ni Edwin Cano : Director, Consulting (Electric Power System Planning and Operations); Member, Brotherhood of the King and The Heart of Mary prayer groups.#POHopgiver #LandasngPagasa #catholic #biblereadings #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #love #pray #bible #christianity #prayer #hope #gospel

Siya’y nararatay sa amin at lubhang nahihirapan.” “Paroroon ako at pagagalingin siya,” sabi ni Hesus. Ngunit sumagot sa kanya ang kapitan, “Ginoo, hindi po ako karapat-dapat na puntahan pa ninyo sa aking bahay. Sabihin po lamang ninyo at gagaling na ang aking alipin. Ako’y nasa ilalim ng mga nakatataas na pinuno, at ako man ay may nasasakupang mga kawal. Kung sabihin ko sa isa, ‘Humayo ka!’ siya’y humahayo; at sa iba, ‘Halika!’ siya’y lumalapit; at sa aking alipin, ‘Gawin mo ito!’ at ginagawa niya.” Namangha si Hesus nang marinig ito, at sinabi niya sa mga taong sumusunod sa kanya, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo, na hindi ako nakatagpo kahit sa Israel ng ganito kalaking pananalig. Tandaan ninyo: marami ang darating buhat sa silangan at kanluran at dudulog sa hapag na kasalo nina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob sa kaharian ng langit. Ngunit marami sa lipi ng Israel ang itatapon sa kadiliman sa labas; doo’y mananangis sila at magngangalit ang kanilang ngipin.” At sinabi ni Hesus sa kapitan, “Umuwi na kayo; mangyayari ang hinihiling ninyo ayon sa inyong pananalig.” Noon di’y gumaling ang alipin ng kapitan.Pumunta si Hesus sa bahay ni Pedro at doo’y nakita niya ang biyenan nito, nakahiga at inaapoy ng lagnat.

Jesus entered the house of Peter,and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.He touched her hand, the fever left her,and she rose and waited on him. When it was evening, they brought him manywho were possessed by demons,and he drove out the spirits by a word and cured all the sick,to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet: He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.
