Tuesday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time (Green)

UNANG PAGBASA
1 Corinto 6, 1-11

Pagbasa mula sa unang sulat ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto

Mga kapatid, kung minsan, ang isa sa inyo’y may reklamo laban sa kanyang kapatid. Magsasakdal ba siya sa mga hukom na pagano, sa halip na ipaubaya sa mga hinirang ng Diyos ang pag-aayos ng usapin nila? Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang mga hinirang ng Diyos ang hahatol sa sanlibutan? At kung kayo ang hahatol sa sanlibutan, hindi ba ninyo kayang hatulan ang ganyan kaliit na bagay? Di ba ninyo alam na tayo ang hahatol sa mga anghel? Gaano pa ang mga bagay na may kinalaman sa buhay na ito! Kung kayo’y may usapin, idudulog pa ba ninyo ito sa mga taong di kinikilala ng simbahan? Mahiya-hiya naman kayo! Wala na ba sa inyong marunong mag-ayos sa sigalutan ng magkakapatid? Ano’t nagsasakdal pa kayo sa hukuman, kapatid laban sa kapatid, at sa harapan pa ng mga taong walang pananampalataya?

Ang pagkakaroon ninyo ng usapin laban sa isa’t isa ay isa nang kabiguan sa inyong pagkakapatiran. Hindi ba mas mabuting tiisin na lamang ninyo ang pang-aapi, at palampasin ang pandaraya sa inyo? Subalit kayo pa ang nang-aapi at nandaraya – at sa inyong mga kapatid pa naman! Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang mga makasalanan ay walang bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos? Huwag ninyong dayain ang inyong sarili! Ang mga nakikiapid, sumasamba sa diyus-diyusan, nangangalunya, nakikiapid sa kapwa lalaki o kapwa babae, ang mga magnanakaw, masasakim, mapaglasing, mapanlait, o magdaraya – ang ganyang mga tao’y walang bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos. Ganyan ang ilan sa inyo noon. Subalit kayo’y nilinis na sa inyong mga kasalanan at itinalaga na kayo sa Diyos. Kayo’y pinawalang-sala na sa pangalan ng Panginoong Hesukristo at ng Espiritu ng Diyos.

Ang Salita ng Diyos.

SALMONG TUGUNAN
Salmo 149, 1-2. 3-4. 5 at 6a at 9b

Panginoo’y nagagalak
sa hirang n’yang mga anak.

o kaya: Aleluya.

Ang Panginoo’y purihin, awitan ng bagong awit,
paruhin sa pagtitipon ng tapat sa pananalig.
Magalak ka, O Israel, dahilan sa Manlilikha;
dahilan sa iyong hari, ikaw Sion ay matuwa.

Panginoo’y nagagalak
sa hirang n’yang mga anak.

Purihin sa pagsasayaw, purihin ang kanyang ngalan;
alpat’ tambol ay tugtugin at siya ay papurihan.
Panginoo’y nagagalak sa kanyang mga hirang.
Sa nangagpapakumbaba’y tagumpay ang ibibigay.

Panginoo’y nagagalak
sa hirang n’yang mga anak.

Sa tagumpay na natamo, magalak ang mga hirang.
Sa kanilang pagpipista ay magsaya’t mag-awitan.
Sa pagpuri sa Panginoon, ay bayaang magsigawan.
Ang tatanggap ng tagumpay, ay ang kanyang mga hirang.

Panginoo’y nagagalak
sa hirang n’yang mga anak.

ALELUYA
Juan 15, 16

Aleluya! Aleluya!
Hinirang tayo ni Kristo
upang mamungang totoo
bilang mabubuting tao.
Aleluya! Aleluya!

MABUTING BALITA
Lucas 6, 12-19

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Lucas

Noong panahong iyon, umahon si Hesus sa isang burol at magdamag doong nanalangin. Kinaumagahan, tinawag niya ang kanyang mga alagad, at pumili siya ng Labindalawa sa kanila, na tinawag niyang mga apostol: si Simon na pinangalanan niyang Pedro, at si Andres na kanyang kapatid; sina Santiago, Juan, Felipe, Bartolome, Mateo, Tomas, at Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, si Simon ang Makabayan; si Judas na anak ni Santiago, at si Judas Iscariote, na naging taksil.

Bumaba si Hesus, kasama sila, at tumayo sa isang patag na lugar. Naroon ang marami sa kanyang mga alagad at ang napakaraming tao buhat sa Judea at Jerusalem, at sa mga bayan sa baybaying-dagat ng Tiro at Sidon. Pumaroon sila upang makinig sa kanya at mapagaling sa kanilang mga karamdaman. Pinagaling din niya ang mga pinahihirapan ng masasamang espiritu. At sinikap ng lahat ng tao na mahipo siya sapagkat may taglay siyang kapangyarihang makapagpagaling ng lahat.

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.

PANALANGIN NG BAYAN
Ika-23 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon
Martes

Tinatawag tayo ng Diyos bilang kanyang hinirang upang sundin ang kanyang kalooban. Manalangin tayo nang may pananalig sa Diyos na nagnanais na ang kanyang bayan ay mamagitan para sa sandaigdigan.

Panginoon, dinggin Mo ang aming panalangin.
o kaya
Ama, pakinggan Mo kami kay Kristo.

Ang Simbahan, sa pamamagitan ng Santo Papa at ng mga obispo, nawa’y umakay sa atin sa kaganapan ng buhay Kristiyano, manalangin tayo sa Panginoon.

Ang mga mambabatas nawa’y gabayan ang ating bayan para sa kasiguruhan ng kinabukasan at kaunlaran ng ating bayan, manalangin tayo sa Panginoon.

Tayo nawa’y magsumikap at maging tapat sa ating bokasyon na itinakda ng Diyos para gampanan natin, manalangin tayo sa Panginoon.

Ang mga matatanda, maysakit, at nalulumbay nawa’y matagpuan ang presensya ng Diyos sa kanilang mga pagsubok at paghihirap, manalangin tayo sa Panginoon.

Ang mga yumao nawa’y mamahinga sa kapayapaan ng Kaharian ng Diyos, manalangin tayo sa Panginoon.

Makapangyarihang Diyos, narito kaming nananalangin upang gawin ang kalooban mo. Tanggapin mo nawa kami sa pamamagitan ng iyong bugtong na Anak, siya na nabubuhay at naghahari magpakailanman. Amen.

WORK OF LOVE

Gospel Reading for August 14, 2026 – Matthew 19: 3-12

WORK OF LOVE

Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.” They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” His disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” He answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

————

As Jesus explained, marriage is not for everyone, because it is a lifelong journey in which two persons, raised differently and coming from different families, are brought together by God in Holy Matrimony and become ONE.

In this sacrament, the couple is showered with all the graces they need to make their union a beautiful WORK OF LOVE designed by God—a union in which they live under one roof, remain faithful to one another, support and care for one another, and honor each other’s dignity. In this sacred relationship, they strive not to allow their differences to separate them, but rather to adjust to one another, so that they may truly become ONE.

Through constant communication, they gradually develop a language all their own, where disagreements can lead to understanding and, ultimately, to agreement. If they are blessed with children, who are the fruit of their union, they are given the precious opportunity to serve the world by raising them according to God’s will.

There are countless experiences that unfold within this sacred union, which is why LOVE is essential for it to flourish and endure. St. Paul’s beautiful description of LOVE in 1 Corinthians 13:1–13 expresses this truth perfectly. As the saying goes, LOVE conquers all.

Some sectors are advocating for the legalization of divorce in the Philippines, a nation that is home to the largest Christian population in Asia. From a Christian perspective, the legalization of divorce raises serious concerns because it is difficult to reconcile with the Christian understanding of marriage as a sacred and lifelong covenant before God.

Lord Jesus, help us to be faithful to the vows we make, whatever our state of life may be. Amen.

Remembering our roots and origin

Friday, Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time, Year II
Memorial of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Priest & Martyr, 14 August 2026

O God our loving Father,
help us to always remember -
our origins and beginnings,
our past especially
the people who had cared
and nurtured us,
our parents and siblings,
relatives and friends,
those who gave us 
the breaks and sparks
to begin our great journeys in life,
the people who stood by
when we were down
and nobody believed us:
dear God,
remind us always
of the basic fact,
of the principle and foundation
of our being:
that we came from you
and shall return to you.
Forgive us,
Lord God,
in forgetting you always,
in forgetting others,
in forgetting
we are nothing without you;
touch us,
nudge us if needed
whenever we forget 
you and our lowly beginnings;
let us not be amazed 
by our feats
and abilities.

But you were captivated by your own beauty, you used your renown to make yourself a harlot, and you lavished your harlotry on every passer-by, whose own you became. Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were a girl, and I will set up an everlasting covenant with you, that you may remember and be covered with confusion, and that you may be utterly silenced for shame when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord God (Ezekiel 16:15, 60-63).

As we celebrate today
the Memorial of your most
faithful servant 
St. Maximilian Kolbe
who offered himself not just
once for a fellow prisoner in
Auschwitz for he had
dedicated himself to you
entirely before World War II
began,
may we remember
the lessons that led
to the Holocaust;
like St. Maximilian Kolbe
may we continue to remember
your covenant in Jesus Christ
by making a stand against
injustice and immorality,
in defending life especially
at its weakest points,
and most of all,
in remembering
the equal dignity of every person
created in your image and likeness;
like what Jesus told
the Pharisees,
let us go back
to Paradise,
let us return to you,
O God,
as our Lord and Master
alone,
not ourselves,
nor our pride and convenience,
nor anyone
nor their flimsy, 
modern thoughts
and ideas;
like St. Maximilian Kolbe,
may we have the courage
to always stand forward
for what is true
and good
and holy.
Amen.

Memorial of Sts. Pontian (Pope) & Hippolytus (Priest), Martyrs
Ezekiel 12:1-12     <*((((><  +  ><))))*>     Matthew 18:21-19:1
Photo from forbes.com.
Set my eyes on you,
Lord God,
that I may see you present
always in and around my life,
whether at work or at home,
in school or in office,
in the park,
or wherever;
set my eyes on you,
Lord God,
that I may see you always
and be reminded that
all this has been made 
possible by you
because you love me;
set my eyes on you,
Lord God
that I may realize 
you are holding me,
that everything that happens
in the world,
among us
are in the palm of
your hand.

The word of the Lord came to me:: Son of man, you live in the midst of a rebellious house; they have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house (Ezekiel 12:1-2).

Indeed, 
Lord God,
we have not only
become callous and numb
but sadly blind too to you
and your very presence 
in us and among us;
we only have sights
without vision;
we refuse to look at
the truth and realities of life
and prefer to look through 
prisms of our own making;
we have been so conceited
like that servant pardoned for
his debts in today's parable
but unforgiving to
his fellow debtor.
give me the courage
to confront myself
like Saints Pontian and
Hippolytus 
who both contradicted
each other
but in the end shed off
their own pride to 
totally embrace and see
your real truth
in your Jesus Christ.
Amen.
