  • Brothers' Bread: Proclaim the Good News

    “We are challenged by Jesus, not only to hear the Good News, but also to act on the call.” - Br. Butch Alcudia FSC

    Ascension Sunday

    Reading from Lk 24:46-53

    Jesus said to his disciples:

    “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer
    and rise from the dead on the third day
    and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins,
    would be preached in his name
    to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
    You are witnesses of these things.
    And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you;
    but stay in the city
    until you are clothed with power from on high.”

    Then he led them out as far as Bethany,
    raised his hands, and blessed them.
    As he blessed them he parted from them
    and was taken up to heaven.
    They did him homage
    and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
    and they were continually in the temple praising God.#YesBro #BrothersBread #DeLaSallePH #DLSBrothersPH #FSCvocations #SundayReflections

    “In our pursuit of fulfilling His commandments, Jesus leaves us with a message of trusting and having faith in Him.” - Br. Myron Duque FSC

    Sixth Sunday of Easter

    Reading from Jn 14:23-29

    Jesus said to his disciples:

    “Whoever loves me will keep my word,
    and my Father will love him,
    and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
    Whoever does not love me does not keep my words;
    yet the word you hear is not mine
    but that of the Father who sent me.

    “I have told you this while I am with you.
    The Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
    whom the Father will send in my name,
    will teach you everything
    and remind you of all that I told you.
    Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
    Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
    Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
    You heard me tell you,
    ‘I am going away and I will come back to you.’
    If you loved me,
    you would rejoice that I am going to the Father;
    for the Father is greater than I.
    And now I have told you this before it happens,
    so that when it happens you may believe.”

    Jesus said:

    “My sheep hear my voice;
    I know them, and they follow me.
    I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
    No one can take them out of my hand.
    My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
    and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
    The Father and I are one.”

    Third Sunday of Easter

    Reading from John 21:1-19

    At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias.

    He revealed himself in this way.
    Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,
    Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
    Zebedee’s sons, and two others of his disciples.
    Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
    They said to him, “We also will come with you.”
    So they went out and got into the boat,
    but that night they caught nothing.
    When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore;
    but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
    Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?”
    They answered him, “No.”
    So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat
    and you will find something.”
    So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in
    because of the number of fish.
    So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.”
    When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
    he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad,
    and jumped into the sea.
    The other disciples came in the boat,
    for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards,
    dragging the net with the fish.
    When they climbed out on shore,
    they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread.
    Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.”
    So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore
    full of one hundred fifty-three large fish.
    Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
    Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.”
    And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?”
    because they realized it was the Lord.
    Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them,
    and in like manner the fish.
    This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples
    after being raised from the dead.

    When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
    “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
    Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
    Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
    He then said to Simon Peter a second time,
    “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
    Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
    Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
    Jesus said to him the third time,
    “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
    Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time,
    “Do you love me?” and he said to him,
    “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
    Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
    Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger,
    you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
    but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
    and someone else will dress you
    and lead you where you do not want to go.”
    He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.
    And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”#YesBro #BrothersBread #DeLaSallePH #DLSBrothersPH #FSCvocations #SundayReflections

    “Our faith prompts us to search for a path that will eventually lead us to Jesus." - Br. Allan Buenavista FSC

    Divine Mercy Sunday

    Reading from John 20:19-31

    On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

    When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

    Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”

    And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

    Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

    Thomas, called, Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

    So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

    Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”

    Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”

    Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

    Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

    Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book.

    But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

    Easter Sunday The Resurrection of the Lord

    Reading from John 20:1-9

    On the first day of the week,

    Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
    while it was still dark,
    and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
    So she ran and went to Simon Peter
    and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
    “They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
    and we don’t know where they put him.”
    So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
    They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
    and arrived at the tomb first;
    he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
    When Simon Peter arrived after him,
    he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
    and the cloth that had covered his head,
    not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
    Then the other disciple also went in,
    the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
    and he saw and believed.
    For they did not yet understand the Scripture
    that he had to rise from the dead.

    Fifth Sunday of Lent

    Reading from John 8:1-11

    Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

    But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area,
    and all the people started coming to him,
    and he sat down and taught them.
    Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman
    who had been caught in adultery
    and made her stand in the middle.
    They said to him,
    “Teacher, this woman was caught
    in the very act of committing adultery.
    Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.
    So what do you say?”
    They said this to test him,
    so that they could have some charge to bring against him.
    Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.
    But when they continued asking him,
    he straightened up and said to them,
    “Let the one among you who is without sin
    be the first to throw a stone at her.”
    Again he bent down and wrote on the ground.
    And in response, they went away one by one,
    beginning with the elders.
    So he was left alone with the woman before him.
    Then Jesus straightened up and said to her,
    “Woman, where are they?
    Has no one condemned you?”
    She replied, “No one, sir.”
    Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you.
    Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”

    Fourth Sunday of Lent

    Reading from Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

    Tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus,

    but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying,
    “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
    So to them Jesus addressed this parable:
    “A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father,
    ‘Father give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’
    So the father divided the property between them.
    After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings
    and set off to a distant country
    where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation.
    When he had freely spent everything,
    a severe famine struck that country,
    and he found himself in dire need.
    So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens
    who sent him to his farm to tend the swine.
    And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed,
    but nobody gave him any.
    Coming to his senses he thought,
    ‘How many of my father’s hired workers
    have more than enough food to eat,
    but here am I, dying from hunger.
    I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him,
    “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
    I no longer deserve to be called your son;
    treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers.”’
    So he got up and went back to his father.
    While he was still a long way off,
    his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion.
    He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him.
    His son said to him,
    ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you;
    I no longer deserve to be called your son.’
    But his father ordered his servants,
    ‘Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him;
    put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
    Take the fattened calf and slaughter it.
    Then let us celebrate with a feast,
    because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again;
    he was lost, and has been found.’
    Then the celebration began.
    Now the older son had been out in the field
    and, on his way back, as he neared the house,
    he heard the sound of music and dancing.
    He called one of the servants and asked what this might mean.
    The servant said to him,
    ‘Your brother has returned
    and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf
    because he has him back safe and sound.’
    He became angry,
    and when he refused to enter the house,
    his father came out and pleaded with him.
    He said to his father in reply,
    ‘Look, all these years I served you
    and not once did I disobey your orders;
    yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends.
    But when your son returns
    who swallowed up your property with prostitutes,
    for him you slaughter the fattened calf.’
    He said to him,
    ‘My son, you are here with me always;
    everything I have is yours.
    But now we must celebrate and rejoice,
    because your brother was dead and has come to life again;
    he was lost and has been found.’”

    “In a culture of materialism and self-glorification, may we open our eyes towards greater sensitivity and attention to others, especially those in need.” - Br. Felipe Belleza FSC

    Third Sunday of Lent

    Reading from Luke 13:1-9

    Some people told Jesus about the Galileans

    whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
    Jesus said to them in reply,
    “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way
    they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
    By no means!
    But I tell you, if you do not repent,
    you will all perish as they did!
    Or those eighteen people who were killed
    when the tower at Siloam fell on them—
    do you think they were more guilty
    than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
    By no means!
    But I tell you, if you do not repent,
    you will all perish as they did!”

    And he told them this parable:
    “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard,
    and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
    he said to the gardener,
    ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree
    but have found none.
    So cut it down.
    Why should it exhaust the soil?’
    He said to him in reply,
    ‘Sir, leave it for this year also,
    and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
    it may bear fruit in the future.
    If not you can cut it down.’”
