Be Merciful. Our Gospel for Mar 21, 2011

Luke 6:36-38

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”

Ang Panukat para sa iyo

Lucas 6:36-38

Maging mga maawain nga kayo, gaya rin naman ng inyong Ama na maawain.

    

Huwag kayong humatol upang hindi kayo hatulan. Huwag kayong magbigay hatol upang hindi kayo bigyang hatol. Magpatawad kayo upang kayo ay patawarin. Magbigay kayo at ito ay ibibigay sa inyo, mabuting sukat, siniksik, niliglig at umaapaw sapagkat ang panukat na inyong ipinangsukat ay siya ring panukat na gagamitin sa inyo.

Jesus is Transfigured. Our Gospel for March 20.

Matthew 17:1-9

Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother,
and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them;
his face shone like the sun
and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them,
conversing with him.
Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
“Lord, it is good that we are here.
If you wish, I will make three tents here,
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, behold,
a bright cloud cast a shadow over them,
then from the cloud came a voice that said,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to him.”
When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate
and were very much afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them, saying,
“Rise, and do not be afraid.”
And when the disciples raised their eyes,
they saw no one else but Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain,
Jesus charged them,
“Do not tell the vision to anyone
until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Ang Pagbabagong Anyo ni Hesus

Mateo 17:1-9

 Pagkaraan ang anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus sina Pedro at Santiago, at si Juan na kaniyang kapatid. Dinala niya silang bukod sa isang mataas na bundok. Nagbagong-anyo siya sa harap nila. Nagliwanag ang kaniyang mukha na parang araw. Pumuti ang kaniyang mga damit na gaya ng busilak ng liwanag. Narito, biglang nagpakita sa kanila sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap sa kaniya.

   
 Sinabi ni Pedro kay Jesus: Panginoon, mabuti para sa amin na kami ay naririto. Kung ibig mo, gagawa kami rito ng tatlong kubol. Isa ang para sa iyo, isa kay Moises at isa kay Elias.

   
 Habang nagsasalita pa siya, narito, nililiman sila ng isang maningning na ulap. Narito, may isang tinig na buhat sa ulap na nagsasabi: Ito ang pinakamamahal kong Anak na labis kong kinalulugdan. Pakinggan ninyo siya.

   
 Nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, napasubsob sila sa lupa at sila ay lubhang natakot. Lumapit si Jesus at hinipo niya sila. Sinabi niya: Tumayo kayo at huwag kayong matakot. Nang tumingin sila sa paligid, wala silang ibang nakita kundi si Jesus lamang.

   
 Habang bumababa sila sa bundok, iniutos sa kanila ni Jesus na sinabi: Huwag ninyong sabihin kaninuman ang pangitaing ito hanggang sa muling mabuhay mula sa mga patay ang Anak ng Tao.

Our gospel for Mar 19. Joseph did as commanded

Mt 1:16, 18-21, 24a

Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.
Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins.”When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home.
