Feeling Propeta: Teka, Lord..

Was the Last Supper really a Passover meal… or not?

The Gospels seem to tell two different timelines. Matthew, Mark, and Luke present it as a Passover meal. But John suggests something else.

So which one is correct?

Or… are we asking the wrong question?

In this episode, we go beyond the surface tension and look at what Jesus is actually doing at the Last Supper. Not just as a ritual meal, but as a moment where something new begins.

Drawing from Scripture and insights from Pope Benedict XVI’s Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week, we explore how the Last Supper is not just connected to the Cross—it already contains it.

Because what begins at the table, reaches its fullness on the Cross. And what is given there, remains present.

As we enter Holy Week, this episode invites us to move from simply understanding the story to entering into it.

Did Jesus deliberately enter Jerusalem knowing it would lead to the Cross?

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd welcomed Him like a king. Garments were spread on the road. Palm branches were waved. And the cry echoed through the city:

“Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

But if this was a moment of triumph, why does it lead to the Cross?

In this episode, we revisit the events of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and the cleansing of the Temple through the insights of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) in Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week.

Together, we explore why these events were not accidental. From the deliberate choice of a donkey to the messianic cries of the pilgrims, and from the prophetic act in the Temple to the rising tension with the authorities, the Gospel begins to reveal something deeper: Jesus was not simply caught in the events of Holy Week. He was revealing who He truly was, and where His mission was leading.

Sometimes the road to the Cross does not begin with defeat, but with revelation.

For many of us, almsgiving feels simple… until it isn’t.

You see someone asking for help, and suddenly there are questions. Are we really helping? Or are we unknowingly contributing to something else?

Because of that uncertainty, sometimes the easiest response is to look away.

But almsgiving has always been one of the core practices of Lent—together with prayer and fasting. So why does the Church insist on it?

In this episode of Feeling Propeta: Teka, Lord, we talk about what almsgiving really means, and why it’s not just about money, generosity, or random acts of kindness.

Through Scripture, especially Matthew 25, we explore how almsgiving is not only about changing someone else’s situation. It’s also about allowing God to transform how we see others, and how we respond to them.

Because sometimes, almsgiving begins not when we give something away… but when we refuse to look away.

We pray when we need help. When we’re afraid. When we don’t know what else to do. But what are we actually doing when we pray?

If God already knows everything, our needs, our thoughts, even our future, what is the point of saying it at all? Does prayer change God’s mind? Or does something else happen when we pray?

In this episode of Feeling Propeta: Teka, Lord, we unpack what prayer really is. Not as a way of informing God, but as a way of participating in His action.

Because prayer is not about making God present.

It’s about allowing ourselves to be open to the God who is already present.

From Scripture to the wisdom of St. Augustine, we explore how prayer is not about control, but about relationship — not about convincing God to act, but learning to trust the God who already is.

🎙️ Listen now and rediscover what prayer really means.

So tapos na ang Ash Wednesday.

Nakapag-fasting na. Nakapag-abstinence na.

But… do we actually understand what we just did?

In this episode, we unpack fasting and abstinence, what they are, how they are different, and why the Church asks both of us during Lent.

From Scripture to the Incarnation, we explore why conversion is not just something we think about, but something we practice with our whole selves.

Is fasting just about food?

Is abstinence just about avoiding meat?

This isn’t about surviving rules.

It’s about understanding formation.

Ash Wednesday na naman.

Parang automatic na sa atin, no? Hahanap ng Mass schedule. Pipila para sa abo. Uuwi na may krus sa noo. Tapos life goes on.

But have we ever paused and asked: bakit nga ba abo?

Lent is forty days. May fasting, may sacrifice, may prayers. So why does the Church begin not with effort, not with rules, but with ashes?

In this episode, we sit with that question.

We talk about what ashes actually mean in Scripture, why the Church begins Lent with repentance before discipline, and why those simple words—“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return”—are not meant to shame us, but to ground us.

Because maybe Lent was never meant to start with what we can do for God. Maybe it begins with facing the truth about who we are, fragile, imperfect, in need of grace and mercy.

If Ash Wednesday has ever felt like a checklist moment to you, this episode might help you see it differently.

Tara, let’s enter Lent honestly.

Every year, Lent comes back, and with it, the same familiar ideas: fasting, sacrifice, discipline.

Pero minsan, kahit pamilyar, parang may kulang pa rin.

In this episode, Ann Mare and Fr. Lennon step back from the usual practices and ask a deeper question. Not just what we do during Lent, but what Lent really is and why the Church keeps inviting us into it year after year.

Together, we explore where Lent came from and why it developed as a season of preparation; why the Church chose forty days and how Scripture shapes its meaning; how repentance, not discipline, becomes the doorway to Lent; and why practices like fasting only make sense when they flow from an honest return to God.

This isn’t an episode about creating a better routine.

It’s an invitation to see Lent beyond performance, as a season of truth, humility, and grace.

So… is Christmas fake?

Every Christmas, the same claim resurfaces: “Hindi naman talaga December 25 ang birthday ni Jesus.”

In this episode, Ann Mare and Fr. Lennon step back from the arguments and ask a deeper question. Not just when Jesus was born, but what it means that God chose to be born in time at all.

Together, we explore why the Bible doesn’t give an exact birth date, and why that matters; how the early Church understood time, history, and the Incarnation; what Jewish tradition, Church teaching, and Christian theology reveal about December 25; and why Christmas was never meant to win debates, but to proclaim one truth that God is with us.

This isn’t an episode about proving a date.

It’s an invitation to rediscover what Christmas has been pointing to all along. God didn’t save us from afar, but entered our time, our waiting, and our very human lives.

As the year comes to a close, we reflect on what it means to trust God’s timing, especially when life feels slow, unfinished, or unclear.

“Bakit biglang pink ang kandila?”

“Bakit iba rin ang suot ng pari?”

“At totoo bang may ‘hidden countdown’ sa gitna ng Simbang Gabi na hindi natin napapansin?”

Tuwing Advent, may mga simbolong paulit-ulit nating nakikita sa Simbahan: apat na kandila, mga kulay na nag-iiba, mga awit na pamilyar. Pero madalas, sanay na lang tayo. Hindi na nagtatanong kung bakit.

Sa episode na ito, Ann Mare and Fr. Lennon unpack two quiet but powerful Advent moments we often overlook. Ito ay

ang biglaang paglitaw ng rose candle at vestments sa kalagitnaan ng Advent, at ang sinaunang “O Antiphons”, isang lihim na countdown ng Simbahan sa mga huling araw bago Pasko.

Pag-uusapan nila kung bakit may “Rejoice” sa gitna ng paghihintay, kung paano tinuturuan tayo ng Simbahan na magsaya kahit hindi pa tapos ang kwento, at kung bakit ang huling linggo ng Advent ay hindi minamadali kundi pinapalalim.

Kung pakiramdam mo ay pagod ka na sa kakahintay, o parang dumadaan na lang ang Advent taon-taon, this episode invites you to pause, to see, to listen, and to rejoice quietly dahil ang Panginoon ay malapit na.
