Lk 4: 14-15: Unya mibalik si Hesus sa Galilea nga gigamhan sa Espiritu Santo. Mikaylap didtong dapita ang balita mahitungod kaniya. Nagtudlo siya didto sa mga simbahan sa mga Judio ug gidayeg siya sa tanan.

Pamalandong: Ang pagdihog ni Hesus pinaagi sa Espiritu Santo ug ang Iyang pasalig sa pagtuman sa misyon sa Dios, nagpahinumdom kanato nga gihatagan usab kita ug gahum sa Espiritu aron mahimo ang buluhaton sa Dios. Sama kang Hesus nagsugod sa iyahang ministriya nga may kaisog ug katuyuan, kita usab gitawag nga magkinabuhi nga maisugon sa atoang pagtoo ug ipaambit ang maayong balita ngadto sa uban.

Pag-ampo: Ginoo, salamat sa gahum sa Imong Espiritu. Lig-ona kami nga maisogon nga magkinabuhi sa among pagtuo ug ipaambit ang Imong mensahe sa uban, sama sa gibuhat ni Hesus. Amen.

Buhat: Pag-ampo sa Balaang Espiritu.

THIS was clearly spelled out in the First Letter of St. John. “If God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (4,11) Christ himself, of course, specified it beforehand when he, before ascending into heaven, said it as the new commandment. “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (Jn 13,34) We are meant for loving the way God loves all of us....

Mk 6: 49-50

But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Reflection: Even in moments of fear and uncertainty, Jesus presents and offers His peace. We just have to trust in His presence and power, knowing that He is with us in the storms of life, ready to calm our fears and strengthen our faith.

Prayer: Lord, when fear overwhelms us, remind us that You are always with us, offering peace and courage. Amen.

Act: Do not be afraid.
