UNANG PAGBASA Ezekiel 33, 7-9 Pagbasa mula sa aklat ni propeta Ezekiel Ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon: “Ikaw, Tao, ang ginagawa kong bantay ng Israel; anumang marinig mo sa akin ay sabihin mo sa kanila bilang babala. Kapag sinabi ko sa taong masama na siya’y mamamatay at di mo ito ipinaabot sa kanya upang makapagbagong-buhay, mamamatay nga siya sa kanyang kasamaan ngunit pananagutan mo ang kanyang kamatayan. Ngunit kapag binabalaan mo ang masama gayunma’y hindi rin nagbagong-buhay, mamamatay siyang makasalanan ngunit wala kang dapat panagutan.” Ang Salita ng Diyos. SALMONG TUGUNAN Salmo 94, 1-2. 6-7. 8-9 Panginoo’y inyong dinggin, huwag n’yo s’yang salungatin. Tayo ay lumapit sa ‘ting Panginoon, siya ay awitan, ating papurihan ang batong kublihan nati’t kalakasan. Tayo ay lumapit, sa kanyang harapan na may pasalamat, siya ay purihin, ng mga awiting may tuwa at galak. Panginoo’y inyong dinggin, huwag n’yo s’yang salungatin.

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay Juan 7, 40-53 Noong panahong iyon, marami sa mga nakarinig kay Hesus ang nagsabi, “Tunay ngang ito ang Propetang hinihintay natin!” “Ito nga ang Mesias!” sabi ng iba. Ngunit sumagot naman ang iba pa, “Maaari bang magmula sa Galilea ang Mesias? Hindi ba sinabi ng Kasulatan na magmumula ang Mesias sa lipi ni David, at sa Betlehem na bayan ni David ipanganganak?” Magkakaiba ang palagay ng mga tao tungkol sa kanya. Ibig ng ilan na dakpin siya, ngunit wala namang nangahas humuli sa kanya. Ang mga kawal na bantay sa templo ay nagbalik sa mga punong saserdote at sa mga Pariseo. “Bakit hindi ninyo siya dinala rito?” tanong nila sa mga bantay. Sumagot sila, “Wala pa pong nagsalita nang gaya niya!” “Kayo man ba’y nalinlang din?” Tanong ng mga Pariseo. “Mayroon bang pinuno o Pariseong naniwala sa kanya? Wala! Mga tao lamang na walang nalalaman sa Kautusan ang naniniwala sa kanya – mga sinumpa!” Isa sa mga naroon ay si Nicodemo, na nagsadya ka...

I would like to share these tips from OSV Newsweekly  on how to make a good confession not only on this time of advent but for all seasons. Father Steve Schultz, parochial vicar of Our Lady of Angels Church in Woodbridge, Virginia, offers the following tips on going to confession: 1. Prayerfully prepare! It’s considerate to those who are waiting in line behind you, especially if they need to confess before Mass in order to receive. 2. Do this preparation with an examination of conscience. Many different kinds are available. There are ones based on the Ten Commandments; the Virtues; your particular vocation; for adults; for children; etc. Two general questions should lead to specifics: In what ways did I sin? In what way(s) did I fail to do the good I ought to have?  3. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Think about what you’ve made friends with that keeps you from a true friendship with God. We really do Greed? Pride? Selfishness? Being lukewarm? Lust? Fear...
