20161222 Gospel Lk 1:46-56


Mary said:

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.”

Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her home.

Pamalandong:

Amo ini an kanta ni Mary para iproklama an pagka-balaanon sanan an pagka-powerful ni God na amo’y nagsugo dija para mahimugso pinaagi dija an ato Lord Jesus Christ na amo’y mohatag sa tanan nan kagawasan sa ato pagka-makakasaya.

Si God, segun sa kanta ni Mary, na amo’y mopukan sa mga gamhanon sanan magbayaw sa mga dinaug-daug nadto sa kahitaasan, amo’y ija sandigan sa tanan nija na mga buluhaton.

Mapasalamton ba ‘sab kita kan God sa ato pagdawat nan Ija mga grasya sanan mga gasa, sanan para sa mga oportunidad na makapanilbihan kita Dija?

20161221 Gospel Lk 1:39-45


Mary set out in those days and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”

Pamalandong:

Bisan an kinabdos pa na bata sa ilayum nan tijan ni Elizabeth, nolihok paghidungog nan ija ina sa greeting ni Mary na nagkabdos ‘sab kan Jesus, an ato Christ.

Nahibayo na daan an bata sa ilayum nan tijan ni Elizabeth na an tagkabdos nan ija auntie, si Lord na amo’y mosalbar nan ato mga kasay’anan dinhi sa kalibutan.

Ugsa kinahanglan gajud nato himayaon si Mary, an nanay nan ato Lord, kay sija ra man gajud an matinumanon sa sugo ni God bisan waya nija hisab’ti an ija pagahimoon.

20161220 Gospel Lk 1:26-38


In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”


But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.”

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
