    MASS INTENTIONS FOR THE WEEK

  • September 20th, 2020 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

    We celebrate the Lord’s Day on this 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Parable of

    the Laborers in the Vineyard means different things to different people. I like to see the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard as Jesus teaching us about being called by God and staying close to God when called. Whether we receive the call to work in God’s vineyard later in day because of drama in our lives, or received it early in the day, we are all alike in need of reflecting on the love of God so that we can fruitfully serve the loving God who called us.

    In this parable we see the extraordinary generosity and compassion of God. There is great tragedy in unemployment, the loss of work, and the inability to earn enough to live and support oneself or one’s family. In Jesus’ times laborers had to wait each day in the

    marketplace until someone hired them for a day's job. No work that day usually meant no food on the family table. The laborers who worked all day and received their payment complain that the master pays the late afternoon laborers the same wage. The master, hired them in the late afternoon so they wouldn’t go home payless and hungry.

    If you feel that life has been unfair to you, the Bible has much to teach us to heal our attitudes. In many places the Bible teaches us that we are to give thanks to God at all times in all circumstances. In Eph 5:20 we read, “Always and everywhere give thanks to God who is our Father.” In 1 Thes 5:16-18 we read, “Be happy at all times; pray constantly and for all things give thanks to God, because this is what God expects you to do in Christ Jesus.” In Col 3:17 we read, “Whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.” So even when others prosper or have more

    success or better chances, what can we do? We can give thanks to God for the blessings he has given to them and the blessings he has given to us.

    If others have more than you, it does not mean that God loves you less. God loves each of us specially. In the parable, the landowner - representing God - said, “My friend, I am not being unjust to you.” God is our friend and is not unjust to us. God deals differently with each of us because God loves each of us in the way that God knows best for us and his kingdom.

    God is generous in opening the doors of his kingdom to all who will enter, both those who have labored a life-time for him and those who come at the last hour. The Lord Jesus calls each one of us to serve God and his kingdom with joy and zeal and to serve our neighbor with a generous spirit as well. The Lord Jesus wants to fill each one of us with the power and strength of the Holy Spirit so we can bear great fruit for God's kingdom (the

    fruit of peace, joy, righteousness, and love) and also bring the fruit of his kingdom to our neighbor as well. We labor for the Lord to bring him praise, honor, and glory. And we labor for our neighbor for their welfare with the same spirit of loving-kindness and compassion which the Lord has shown to us. Paul the Apostle reminds us, “Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not others, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward - you are serving the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23-24).

    Do you perform your daily tasks and responsibilities with cheerfulness and diligence for the Lord’s sake? And do you give generously to others, especially to those in need of your care and support?

    CATCHETICAL SUNDAY, SPETEMBER 20TH 2020

    This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 20, 2020. The 2020 theme is I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for

    all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. The 2020 Catechetical Sunday theme is taken from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, “I RECEIVED FROM THE LORD WHAT I ALSO HANDED ON TO YOU.” This theme focuses on the essential work of catechesis, which is an invitation to a whole new life given by Christ Himself. It emphasizes that living faith necessitates movement, inspiring all those who hear the Word to share it as witnesses of the true and living God. This year, we also invite everyone who is involved in the work of catechesis to consider earnestly the importance of catechist formation. Since catechists are the instruments through which many come to encounter Christ and hear this invitation, they have a unique role in keeping people connected to the life of the parish. Rooted in and nourished by our encounter with Christ in the Eucharist, this beautiful ministry of the Church’s catechetical and

  • evangelizing mission helps to further actualize the Body of Christ in our world. May our lives be instruments of faith, which we have “received from the Lord [and…] handed on to you”!

    PRAYER FOR CATECHISTS O God, our Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of these catechists to be heralds of the Gospel to our parish family. We lift them up to you in thanksgiving and intercede for them concerning their hopes and needs. May we be attentive to the presence of your Word in them, a Word that lifts up and affirms, calls forth and challenges, is compassionate and consoles. We pray that our parish family will always be blessed with those who have responded to the call to share in Christ’s prophetic mission as catechists. May we too be open to the universal call to service that Christ addresses to all of his disciples, contributing our gifts to the communion of faith, the Church. We ask this in Jesus’ name. AMEN

  • From Fr. Jayke Public and Private Revelations

    The word revelation comes from the Latin word “revelare,” which means to unveil or disclose. But, in theology, the word revelation denotes the action by which God communicates to creatures a participation in His own knowledge, including His intimate self-knowledge. Revelation can be divided into two types: public revelation and private revelation. Public revelation is a divine revelation that consists of God’s self-manifestation of divine truths for the salvation of mankind, wherein it is protected by the Holy Spirit, is given to the prophets and apostles, and end with the death of the Apostle John. This type of revelation is transmitted through the Sacred Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition, wherein they are safeguarded by the Magisterium of the Church to constitute the deposit of Christian faith entrusted to the Church.

    On the other hand, private revelation is a type of revelation that constitutes a manifestation of divine truth given to an individual for the spiritual benefit of the person, a particular group, or for the universal benefit of the Church and the world (Dei Verbum nn. 9-10). The purpose of private revelation is to “assist people in the ongoing Christian challenge to incorporate more authentically and more generously the Gospel call of Jesus Christ to Christian faith, hope, and love – to guide us in the fullest possible implementation of what has already been revealed in Scripture and Tradition for the perfection of love in Christian holiness (Lumen Gentium, n. 11).”

    Visions and Apparitions

    Sometimes, the word revelation is often used interchangeably with apparition and vision. But, according to my Mariology professor, these three have slightly different meanings. For him, a revelation can refer to the illumination as intended by God, the giver and revealer of the illumination. An apparition is the illumination seen from the perspective of the person who receives it. And lastly, a vision includes both the illumination of the apparition and an understanding that can accompany the illumination.

    There are three categories of visions and these are: Imaginative, Intellectual, and Corporeal. Imaginative vision is a vision that is perceived by the imaginative sense. This means that this category of vision has a sensible representation of an object by the act of imagination alone, without the aid of visual organ. While Intellectual vision is a type of vision that perceives the object without a sensible image. This means that the “illumination is given to the intellect without any dependence on sense images or external senses.”

    Lastly, the Corporeal vision is a vision perceived by the external senses of the eyes and it may take place in two ways: a) it is either a figure really present strikes the retina and there determines the physical phenomenon of the vision; or b) an agent superior to

    man directly modifies the visual organ and produces in the composite a sensation equivalent to that which an external object would produce. Moreover, corporeal vision is also called an apparition, wherein it could cause directly by God or mediately through an angelic power. However, this type of vision could also be caused by the devil. Thank you and God bless! Your servant in Christ, Rev. Jayke Pariñas

    PRAY DAILY. .PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS FOR PROTECTION AND

    HELP. O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You…know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of those of us who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
