Sunday Mass Readings Novels & Stories

LIVE SELLING That Sunday morning ay maaga kaming nagising lahat. There's a free mass na ginaganap sa isang chapel ng farm and also may samba rin na pang alas diyes sa may gymnasium nila. The place doesn't only operate for leisure but also they respect sabbath day. "Mauna ako sa chapel para sa 6 AM mass," saad ni Paula. "Sama ako." - Veniz. "Me too. Wait for me! - Paula.

Nang magsalita na ang Reverent natahimik na ako kakaisip at nakinig. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of God and these witnesses to join Maria and Andre in holy matrimony. Marriage is a sacred covenant, a lifelong commitment of love and support. Let us begin this joyous celebration with a prayer. Heavenly Father, we come before you on this special day, asking for your blessings upon Maria and Andre. May their union be filled with love, grace, and divine guidance. Grant them strength and wisdom to build a strong foundation for their marriage. Amen.

Nagsisimula ang 2nd mass ng alas-7 ng umaga at ang 3rd mass naman ay alas-9 ng umaga. “Weh?” Gulantang pa rin si Ali. Madalas siyang magsimba sa mga timeslots na ‘yun. Siya pa ang rector ng misa. Sabagay, hindi rin niya nahahalata dahil nasa taas ang choir at band. “Ganda ng boses, kala mo hindi makabasag pinggan,” bulong ni Leighton habang nagtitiklado. “Excuse me?” asik ni Ali. Susugurin na niya sana si Leighton nang pinigilan siya ni JC.

ANGELO LINGO ng umaga nang gisingin ako ni Abel sa aking pagkakatulog. Alas tres na pala ng madaling araw at alas-sais naman ang unang misa sa San Sebastian. Bilang mga sakristan, at dahil kakaunti lang kami ay nagririlyebo kami sa bawat misa na magaganap. Hanggang tatlo lang ang misa sa San Sebastian, una ay alas sais hanggang alas syete, alas syete y media hanggang alas otso y media, at alas nuwebe hanggang alas diyes.

Minsan Luis, bagay talagang mag-pari ka na lang. Gwapo nga pero nirerespeto ng mga kababaihan. Napasign of the cross na nga kami sa pangunguna ni Luis. Napapikit ako at taimtim na pinapakingan ang dasal. “Father, you have made the bond of marriage a holy mystery, a symbol of Christ's love for his Church. Hear our prayers for Sean and Zhia. With faith in you and in each other they pledge their love today. May their lives always bear witness to the reality of that love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” Thank you Luis. Halos parang binully na naman siya ni Elaine. Narinig ko,

sambit ni pastor. Maya maya pa ay nag simula na ang reading, “reading from the Apostle Paul, The first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 4 through 7: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Father, as and pledge themselves to each other, help them and bless them that their love may be pure, and their vows may be true. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”

Habang kinakain ng dilim ang liwanag ay lumalakas yung tambol ng dibdib ko. "PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen."

👰‍♀️ MARIKAH SYCHELLE “Aba, Ginoong Maria, Napupuno ka ng grasya, Ang Panginoon ay sumasaiyo. Bukod kang pinagpala sa babaeng lahat, At pinagpala naman Ang 'yong anak na si Hesus.” Taimtim kong pag-usal, habang patuloy kong iniikot ang hawak kong rosaryo. “Santa Maria, Ina ng Diyos, Ipanalangin mo kaming makasalanan, Ngayon at kung kami'y mamamatay.” Pagpapatuloy ni Nurse Chrystallene. Nagtinginan kami at sabay na sinambit ang salitang 'Amen'.

Mula roon ay inilabas niya ang kanyang rosaryo. Tama, sa oras ng kagipitan ay tanging ang Diyos lamang ang kanyang makakapitan. “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen." “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.”

Nang malapit na siya sa harapan mas lalo pa siyang naiyak ng sobra. Hinawakan ko ang kan'yang kamay at dinala sa harap ng altar. "Good Morning everyone;" malugod na pagbati ng priest sa amin at sa lahat ng nasa loob ng simbahan.. "In the name of the father, and of the son and of the holy spirit." "Amen; "assembly responce. "Grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ." wika ng priest. "With your spirit." assembly response again.
