::Resting In The Father

Sunday, February 05, 2006

Mother and I arrived early this morning to hear the mass.. I lighted 3 candles: 2 candles to thank God and one candle to strengthen me in handling the three cases at the same time.

Today is the fifth Sunday in ordinary time and today's homily is about Resting In The Father. Another Italian Xaverian priest said the mass in Tagalog using Sambuhay's missalette: Kapanatagan sa Piling ng Ama (Resting In The Father).

Today's LITURGY OF THE WORD:

  • First Reading (Jb 7:1-4, 6-7) (Sit): In his suffering, Job gives voice to the evils and pains that beset us. In our brokenness, we cry out to God for an explanation or answer. The responsorial psalm invites us to trust God who is gracious and heals the brokenhearted.
  • Second Reading (1 Cor 9:16-19, 22-23): In preaching the Gospel, Paul has made himself all things to all. In particular, he has become weak for those who are weak. As Christians, we are invited to be compassionate: to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep.

I was in a hurry to go online today and I forgot to recite the rosary... Posted on February 5, 2006 11:04 PM TrackBack
