Today is the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, the longest period in the Liturgical Year. Last Sunday we admired the pre-adolescent Jesus as the youngest “teacher of Israel”, shining among the renowned teachers of the Law in the Temple.

Today, National Bible Sunday, we see him as the fulfillment of God’s promises as recorded in the Holy Scriptures. The content of God’s Word offers us guidance and encouragement today, no less than it did in the history of the people of Israel. Its vital message is ever relevant.

May it bear fruit in us as we, and more people, receive God’s Word in our hearts in the Holy Eucharist and allow it to transform our lives.

Pakikinig at Pagtupad sa Salita ng Diyos

Ngayon ay Ikatlong Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon. Noong isang Linggo, hinangaan natin ang labindalawang taong gulang na si Hesus bilang “pinakabatang guro ng Israel.” Ngayon nama’y makikita natin siya bilang katuparan ng mga pangako ng Diyos na nakatala sa Banal na Kasulatan. Dulot sa atin ngayon ng Salita ng Diyos ay pamamatnubay at pampalakas-loob na katulad ng isinasaad sa kasaysayan ng Israel.

Nawa’y magbunga sa ating lahat ang Salita ng Diyos at pahintulutan nating papagbaguhin tayo ng mga aral na hatid nito, ngayon PAMBANSANG LINGGO NG KASULATAN, at sa lahat ng araw ng ating buhay.
