‘Proclaim the gospel to every creature’

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • May 13, 2021

The Ascension of Jesus Christ into the Father’s eternal glory was not the end of the Savior’s direct and personal involvement with our salvation. Rather a new chapter was opened in the on-going mission of leading humankind back to the love of the God, henceforth with the followers of Jesus as evangelizers proclaiming the gospel to the whole world (Mark 16:15-20).

 A community of friends

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • May 6, 2021

The union between Jesus and His followers is not a hierarchy of power, but a flowering of friendship and love (John 15:9-17). The full import of the allegorical metaphor of the vine and its branches is here interpreted through an ecclesiology of love.

Pruned to bear more fruit

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • April 29, 2021

The vine and its branches is our next allegorical metaphor for the intimate relationship between Jesus and His disciples (John 15:1-8). Jesus shares His life with His followers on the level of grace and indwelling.

Heroic leadership

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • April 22, 2021

Every year for the Fourth Sunday of Easter, the gospel text is taken from Chapter 10 of John, the discourse on the good shepherd. Our reading for Year B (John 10:11-18) is an interpretation of the short parable about the sheep who are called by name and who follow their shepherd whom they recognize.

Dynamics of Easter faith

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • April 16, 2021

AS narrated by St. Luke (24:35-48), the appearance of the risen Jesus to the two disciples on their way to Emmaus contains certain features that are emphatically repeated a little later to the main body of the disciples as Jesus appeared to them gathered in Jerusalem: reflection on sacred Scriptures, eating, and setting forth to proclaim the good news. Thus the dynamics of our Easter faith is clarified and established for us by the evangelist.

The wounds of the risen Lord

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • April 16, 2021

The gospel reading (John 20:19-31) for the Second Sunday of Easter is repeated every year. Narrating two appearances by the risen Christ, the text gives the fulfillment of all his promises to his disciples: his abiding presence, the gift of the Holy Spirit, forgiveness of sin, peace, and eternal life. The fourth gospel merges into one event Jesus’ resurrection, ascension, the gifting with the Spirit, and the send-off on mission.

In the light of the resurrection

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • April 16, 2021

Our Easter gospel narration (John 20:1-9) tells us that our faith in the risen Christ enables us to interpret the contradiction of the cross in our life as Christians. The resurrection is central to our life of faith, and we are called to an ongoing and profound recognition of this mystery in our daily life.

The victorious rejected King

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • March 25, 2021

AS our gospel reading for Passion or Palm Sunday, St. Mark’s long passion narrative (14:1-15:47) appears to have been fashioned by him before anything else and supplemented only with the accounts of Jesus’ ministry. Its apologetics and Christological motifs stand out.

To die like a grain of wheat

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • March 18, 2021
Alálaong bagá, the true follower of Jesus does exactly that—follow Jesus in dying like a grain of wheat. It is to believe and live accordingly in the paradox of Jesus’ “lifted up” in ignominy and in glory, where to die is to become more, while not to die is to be condemned to being nothing. To love God above all and to love others as oneself, we have to learn to “hate” our life in this world and be ready to give it up for what is really greater, so that we all can be lifted up to the life that is truly eternal.

For us, lifted up and given

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • March 11, 2021

The mystery of God’s salvific love for us in Jesus Christ is dramatized when he was lifted up on the cross and given by the Father, so that whoever believes in him will not be condemned (John 3:14-21). For those who look up to Jesus on the cross with faith have in fact eternal life.

Cleansing the temple

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • March 4, 2021

For John (2:13-25), the cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem by Jesus was such a fundamental statement by Him that it deserved to be located theologically at the beginning of His public ministry, unlike the other evangelists who placed the event chronologically towards the conclusion of Jesus’ public activity. It was a dramatic announcement that Israel’s messianic expectations have been fulfilled.

Transfigured and irreplaceable

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • February 25, 2021

IF the stay of Jesus in the desert for 40 days being tempted by Satan represents the relentless struggle between good and evil in the world, His mountain top transfiguration stands for the glory that awaits one who remains faithful (Mark 9:2-10).

It is time!

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • February 18, 2021

Lent is our journey of 40 days (Kuwaresma) toward Easter. The first Lenten Sunday starts us off with the bone-bare narration about Jesus’ sojourn in the desert and his inaugural victory over Satan and the gist of his good news to the people that it is time already for the reign of God (Mark 1:12-15).

Healed and witnessing

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • February 11, 2021

The gospel account of the leper healed by Jesus (Mark 1:40-45) presents a picture of what we as Christians should be as reborn and reconciled believers. In our on-going meditation on Jesus Christ, we discover that it is in his power and in his compassion that we find our salvation.

The Kerygmatic Jesus

  • Msgr. Sabino Vengco Jr.
  • February 4, 2021

The gospel narration of a typical day in the public ministry of Jesus portrays Him as gospel-driven messiah, focused on proclaiming to everyone the message of salvation (Mark 1:29-39). He derived His kerygmatic orientation from His prayer-intimacy with His heavenly Father.
