MASS REFECTION # 4.1

NAME: Allexcia S. Aguila

DATE: January 12, 2020

CHURCH: ---------

GOSPEL: Matthew 3, 13-17

GOSPEL REFLECTION:

We worry about our image in the eyes of others which we

shouldn’t. With Jesus, we see one who lives a new kind of
existence. It is not the existence of someone who is smarter,
stronger, more beautiful, richer or much better. It is the life of a
Son who knows the Father, who carries within him the knowledge
that the Father favors him. The Holy Spirit will teach us that God
is our Father. This is what makes us righteous. Trust in this
righteousness of God is what sets us free. I always put in my
mind that we should always pray and get closer with God
because that is the greatest feeling in the whole world other than
my family and friends love for me.

MASS REFECTION # 4.2

NAME: Allexcia S. Aguila

DATE: January 19, 2020

CHURCH: ---------

GOSPEL: John 1, 29-34

GOSPEL REFLECTION:

Sin is something that humanity by itself cannot manage. People

are obliged to carry the weight of their mistakes on their shoulders
and should repent and avoid omitting sin again. When we are
forgiven we should avoid making mistakes and make those
mistakes as a lesson or a chance to be a better version of
yourself. When we were baptized, we become one with Jesus in
his life, death and resurrection which also includes the
forgiveness of our sins. Through the waters and blessing of
baptism we are washed, made new and cleansed. Then we, as
his followers, like John are called to be the messengers and
witnesses of Jesus. Being baptized gives us the right to call
ourselves sons and daughters of God; it also gives us the
responsibility of living as witnesses to Jesus and of being his
followers and friends in our daily lives.

MASS REFECTION # 4.3

NAME: Allexcia S. Aguila

DATE: January 26, 2020

CHURCH: ---------

GOSPEL: Matthew 4, 12-23

GOSPEL REFLECTION:

A joy and happiness that became real in Jesus’ presence. He is

the promised light that has come into us, His physical presence
that expresses the definitive arrival of the Light. The light that
shines brightly marks God’s initiative performing His first merciful
and free step towards a wounded humanity. We should always
remember that our personal vocation is founded on God’s original
and absolutely free choice. People who sit in darkness, who are
comfortable with the way they are and who are pleased with their
lives now see a great light. There is hope and grace for everyone
to be saved from doom and death.
