On the Third Sunday of Advent, the Church calls us to rejoice, for the coming of the Lord is near. Known as Gaudete Sunday, from the Latin gaudete meaning “rejoice,” this day reminds us that Christian joy is born from hope and trust in God’s promises. In the midst of our waiting and preparation, we are invited to share this joy through faith, charity, and love, as we await the birth of Christ, our Savior.

Sa ikatlong linggo ng Adbiyento, inaanyayahan tayong magalak sapagkat malapit na ang pagdating ng Panginoon. Tinatawag itong Gaudete Sunday, mula sa salitang Latin na gaudete na nangangahulugang “magalak.” Sa gitna ng paghahanda at pagsisisi, pinapaalala sa atin ng Simbahan na ang ating pag-asa kay Kristo ay pinagmumulan ng tunay na kagalakan. Nawa’y makita ang kagalakang ito sa ating pananampalataya, sa paglilingkod sa kapwa, at sa pagtitiwala sa Diyos na dumarating upang iligtas tayo.

Today we celebrate the grace-filled mystery of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, chosen by God and preserved from original sin from the first moment of her conception. In Mary, we see the beauty of God’s saving plan made perfect by His grace, preparing a pure dwelling for His Son. May her humble “yes” inspire us to live in holiness, trust in God’s mercy, and say yes to His will each day.

The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic belief that the Blessed Virgin Mary, by a singular grace of God and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, was preserved free from original sin from the first moment of her conception. This truth was powerfully emphasized in 1830 when Our Lady appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in Rue du Bac, Paris, and revealed the Miraculous Medal, inscribed with the words “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee,” helping spread devotion to this belief throughout the world. In 1854, the Church formally proclaimed this belief as dogma through Pope Pius IX, affirming what the faithful had long believed. Just four years later, in 1858, Heaven itself confirmed this teaching at Lourdes, when Mary identified herself to St. Bernadette with the words, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Finally, at Fatima in 1917, Our Lady revealed the promise connected to her Immaculate Heart: calling humanity to prayer, repentance, and conversion, and assuring the faithful that “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph,” a message of hope, peace, and God’s ultimate victory over sin.

✠ Most holy Virgin, who wast pleasing to the Lord and became His
Mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look
kindly on the wretched who implore thy powerful patronage. The
wicked serpent, against whom was hurled the first curse, continues
fiercely to attack and ensnare the unhappy children of Eve. Do
thou, then, O Blessed Mother, our queen and advocate, who from the first instant of thy conception didst crush the head of the enemy, receive the prayers which, united with thee in our single heart, we implore thee to present at the throne of God, that we may never fall into the snares which are laid out for us, and may all arrive at the port of salvation; and, in so many dangers, may the Church and Christian society sing once again the hymn of deliverance and of victory and of peace. Amen. ✠

As we enter the Second Sunday of Advent, we are invited to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, the Prince of Peace. In a world often filled with noise, fear, and division, Advent reminds us that true peace begins with God’s presence dwelling within us.

Today we honor St. Nicholas of Myra, a faithful bishop known for his deep compassion, generosity to the poor, and defense of the true faith. Through his secret acts of charity and loving care for those in need, he reflected the mercy of Christ and taught the world the joy of selfless giving. May his life inspire us to share generously, love sincerely, and serve humbly, especially the poor and the forgotten.

St. Nicholas of Myra was a 4th-century bishop of Myra, in present-day Turkey, widely loved for his holiness, courage, and generosity. From a young age, he used his inheritance to help the poor in secret, especially families in great need. He was a strong defender of the Christian faith, faithfully guiding his people during times of persecution and helping preserve true doctrine in the early Church. Through the many miracles attributed to him, St. Nicholas became known as a protector of children, sailors, travelers, the poor, and all who seek justice. His life of humility, charity, and steadfast faith continues to inspire acts of kindness and selfless love today.

You good bishop and shepherd, help me to find my place in the Church and inspire the Church to be faithful to the Gospel.
O good Saint Nicholas, patron of children, sailors and the helpless, watch over those who pray to Jesus, your Lord and theirs, as well as over those who humble themselves before you.
Bring us all in reverence to the Holy Child of Bethlehem, when true joy and peace are found. Amen. ✠

Sa ikalawang linggo ng Adbiyento, tayo ay inaanyayahang magnilay sa kapayapaan na nagmumula sa Diyos, kapayapaang higit sa kawalan ng gulo, kundi isang pusong puno ng tiwala at pag-asa. Sa liwanag ng ikalawang kandila, pinapaalalahanan tayo na ang tunay na kapayapaan ay dumarating kapag binubuksan natin ang ating puso kay Kristo at inihahanda ang ating buhay sa Kanyang pagdating. Nawa’y magsimula ang kapayapaang ito sa ating sarili, umabot sa ating pamilya, at umagos sa buong pamayanan.

Today, we begin the holy season of Advent, a sacred time of waiting, watching, and hoping for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we light the first candle, the Candle of Hope, we are reminded that even in the darkest moments of life, God’s promise remains alive in our hearts. Advent invites us to slow down, to pray more deeply, and to prepare not just our homes, but our souls for Christ’s coming. May this season awaken in us a renewed faith, a deeper love, and a heart ready to welcome Him. As we journey toward Christmas, let us walk in hope, trusting that the Light of the world is already near. Come, Lord Jesus, and make our hearts Your home.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle, the first to follow Christ and to lead others to Him. May his faith and courage inspire us to answer God’s call with generosity and trust.

Saint Andrew the Apostle was a fisherman from Bethsaida and the brother of Saint Peter. He was the first disciple to follow Jesus and was the one who brought others, including his own brother, to Christ. Andrew preached the Gospel in various lands and remained faithful to Jesus until death. He was martyred by crucifixion on an X-shaped cross, which is now called the Cross of Saint Andrew.

Just as you led your brother, St Peter, to Christ and many others after him, draw us also to Him. Teach us how to lead them, solely out of love for Jesus and dedication to His service. Help us to learn the lesson of the Cross and carry our daily crosses without complaint, so that they may carry us to God the Almighty Father. Amen. ✠

HAPPY 31ST SACERDOTAL ANNIVERSARY, Fr. RENIE!

Ngayong araw ay buong galak nating ipinagdiriwang ang ika-31 Taong Anibersaryo ng Pagka-Pari ng ating minamahal na Kura Paroko, Reb. P. Ireneo Oliver, ang pastol ng sambayanan ng Pandiyosesanong Dambana ng Mahal na Birhen ng Guadalupe.

Sama-sama natin siyang ipanalangin na patuloy siyang pagkalooban ng mabuting kalusugan, lakas ng katawan, at sigla ng espiritu, upang higit pa niyang maipagpatuloy ang misyon bilang lingkod ng Diyos. Idalangin natin sa Panginoon na pagyamanin pa ang bunga ng kanyang ministeryo, na lalo pang magningning ang kanyang presensya sa ating pamayanan, at maging tulay siya ng pag-asa, awa, at pagmamahal ng Mahal na Ina.

Kami’y lubos na nagpapasalamat sa iyong patuloy na pagsisilbi sa bayan ng Diyos.
