Gospel Reading for October 30, 2026 – Luke 14: 1-6
NO LIMITS
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully. In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy. Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking, “Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?” But they kept silent; so he took the man and, after he had healed him, dismissed him. Then he said to them “Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?” But they were unable to answer his question.
————
The Pharisees were strongly opposed to healing on the Sabbath because they considered healing to be work, and work was not allowed on the Sabbath.
This was one of the reasons Jesus incurred so much of their anger. Instead of trying to understand his teaching that compassion is most important and that the Laws of God are all about love, they took offense at his actions and plotted ways to discredit, destroy, and even kill him.
Doing good has NO LIMITS. It is not governed by time, day, or occasion. Whenever we have an opportunity to do good and show compassion, whether in big or small ways, it is a great blessing from God because, through these acts, we may one day enjoy eternal life with him.
But Christians should not wait for opportunities to come. Christians are called to go the extra mile by actively looking for opportunities to do good and show compassion.
Lord Jesus, help us to be like you in love and compassion as our way of thanking God for all the blessings we receive each day. Amen.

Gospel Reading for October 29, 2026 – Luke 13: 31-35
FEAR
Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, “Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose. Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day, for it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.’ “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling! Behold, your house will be abandoned. But I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
————
The attitude of the Pharisees is precisely the attitude that allows evil to triumph over good. The evil one always sows FEAR in our hearts to weaken our resolve to follow Jesus. If we allow our fears to overcome us when doing good, we allow evil to proliferate and destroy humanity, including our earthly home.
This is why Christianity is needed more than ever, especially in these very troubled times. If only we would follow the teachings of Christ, there would be much hope for a better future.
Lord Jesus, may your Spirit continue to strengthen and inspire us to follow you wherever you go. Amen.

Nakatanggap ang House prosecution panel ng ulat mula sa social media na maaring humingi ng “compromise agreement” ang defense panel ni VP Sara Duterte.
Ang compromise agreement, tatanggalin lang sa puwesto si VP Duterte, hindi kasama ang tuluyang pagbabawal na umupo ito sa alinmang public office.
Kapanalig, kung totoo ang pahayag ng prosecution panel, tila inaamin ng pangalawang pangulo ang pagkatalo?
Pinapalutang sa social media na tatanggapin ni VP Sara ang pagsibak sa kanya sa puwesto, pero dapat manatili ang eligibility nito na tumakbo sa pagkapangulo sa 2028.
Huli na ang lahat para kay VP Duterte! ibinasura agad ng prosecution panel ang social media speculation.
Nanindigan ang prosekusyon, walang basehan ang compromise at inconsistent ito sa 1987 constitution Article XI, Sec 3(7) na sinasaad ang “judgment in impeachment “shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold any office”.
Kapanalig, walang katuturan ang hakbang ng depensa, hindi maaring mag-bargain, hindi negotiable ang perpetual disqualification.
Ang lumulutang na espekulasyon ay testing lang sa political settlement, bahagi lamang ito ng negotiation tactics ng depensa, baka sakali mapupulsuhan nila ang boto ng Senator-judges.
Hindi pa tapos ang impeachment trial, kung nais ng depensa maari silang maghain ng pormal offer na magbitiw si VP Sara sa impeachment court kapalit ng no disqualification.
Ang problema ni VP Sara, pinaniniwala niya ang sarili na wala siyang pagkakamali.. may pagkakataon pa ang pangalawang pangulo na humingi ng tawad sa mga Pilipino, sinasabi na ang mga Pilipino ay likas na mapagpatawad, mabilis makalimot.
Kapanalig, sinasabi ng Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven”.
Para kay VP Sara, ang paalala ng Matthew 18:21-22-“Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times”
Napapanahon ng iwaksi ng pangalawang pangulo ang entitlement, sa halip isabuhay ang “humility”.
Kapanalig sa kaso ni VP Duterte., hindi maaring baluktutin ng tapang, ng mabulaklak na salita, nang pera, nang kapangyarihan, nang magagaling na abogado., nang press release… ang ebidensiya!
At the end of the day Kapanalig, accountability and truth must prevail over “graceful exit” sa impeachment trial ng pangalawang opisyal ng Pilipinas
