Lunes, Hulyo 20, 2026 Lunes ng Ika-16 na Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon Paggunita kay Sto. Apollinaris, Obispo ng Ravenna at Martir Paggunita kay San Elijah, Propeta Paggunita kay Sto. Aurelius, Obispo ng Carthage LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “MANAMPALATAYA NG HINDI HUMIHINGI NG TANDA” [MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 12 : 38 - 42 Noong 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

Monday, July 20, 2026 Monday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of St. Apollinaris, Bishop of Ravenna and Martyr Memorial of St. Elijah, Prophet Memorial of St. Aurelius, Bishop of Carthage PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “A HEART THAT SEEKS GOD, NOT SIGNS” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 12: 14 - 21 Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” He said to them in reply, “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here. At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here.” Reflection by Nino Christian Pedraza : Chemist - Senior Supervisor - Energy Development Corporation.

Sunday, July 19, 2026 Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Memorial of Pope Saint Symmachus PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “SHINING FOR CHRIST UNTIL THE HARVEST” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 13: 24 - 43 Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and 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 weeds you 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 seed that 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 yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until 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 foundation of 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 kingdom all 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 man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and 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 weeds you 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."

Linggo, Hulyo 19, 2026 Ika-16 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon Paggunita kay Papa San Simaco LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “HINDI DAHAS, KUNDI PAGPAPAGALING” [MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 13 : 24 - 43 Noong 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.

Saturday, July 18, 2026 Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of Saint Camillus de Lellis, priest PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “GOD’S CHOSEN SERVANT” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 12: 14 - 21 The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many people followed him, and he cured them all, but he warned them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet: Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom I delight; I shall place my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not contend or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory. And in his name the Gentiles will hope. Reflection by Jon Kasilag: Founding Principal Engineer, AMH Phils.,Inc. Former Senior Lecturer-UP. Covenanted Member-Ligaya ng Panginoon.

Sabado, Hulyo 18, 2026 Sabado ng Ika-15 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon Paggunita kay San Camilo de Lelis, pari LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : "DIRETSO LANG SA MISYON" [MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 12 : 14 - 21 Noong panahong iyon, umalis ang mga Pariseo at nag-usap-usap kung paano ipapapatay si Hesus. Alam ito ni Hesus kaya’t umalis siya roon. 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

Friday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of the Blessed Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “THE TRUE MEANING OF THE SABBATH” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 12: 1 - 8 Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath." He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry, how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat? Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests serving in the temple violate the sabbath and are innocent? I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. If you knew what this meant, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, you would not have condemned these innocent men. For the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath."

Biyernes, Hulyo 17, 2026 Biyernes ng Ika-15 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon Paggunita sa mga Martir Karmelita ng Compiègne LANDAS NG PAG-ASA : “HABAG HINDI HAIN” [MABUTING BALITA]: MATEO 12 : 1 - 8 Noong 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.

Kawawa ka, Betsaida! Sapagkat kung sa Tiro at Sidon ginawa ang mga kababalaghang ginawa sa inyo, malaon na sanang nagdaramit ng sako at nauupo sa abo ang mga tagaroon upang ipakilalang sila’y nagsisisi. Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo: sa Araw ng Paghuhukom ay higit na mabigat ang sasapitin ninyo kaysa sasapitin ng mga taga-Tiro at taga-Sidon. At ikaw, Capernaum, ibig mong mataas hanggang sa langit? Ibabagsak ka sa Hades! Sapagkat kung sa Sodoma ginawa ang mga kababalaghang ginawa rito sa inyo, sana’y nanatili pa ito hanggang ngayon. Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, sa Araw ng Paghuhukom ay higit na mabigat ang ipaparusa sa inyo kaysa dinanas ng Sodoma.” Pagninilay ni JV Salayo: Teacher/Education consultant.

Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum: Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the nether world. For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” Reflection by Jam Dabuet-Sandoval : Full-time missionary-Christ’s Youth in Action.

Monday, July 13, 2026 Monday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of Saint Henry PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “CHOOSING JESUS CHRIST ABOVE ALL” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 10: 34 - 11: 1 Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be those of his household.“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple– amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”When Jesus finished giving these commands to his Twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.
