First Reading:
Ephesians 5: 21-33
21 Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
22 Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
23 Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head
of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives
be to their husbands in all things.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and
delivered himself up for it:
26 That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the
word of life:
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without
blemish.
28 So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that
loves his wife, loves himself.
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourished and cherished it,
as also Christ doth the church:
30 Because we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
32 This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as
himself: and let the wife fear her husband.

to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel:
Luke 13: 18-21
18 He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto
shall I resemble it?
19 It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast
into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air
lodged in the branches thereof.
20 And again He said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be
like?
21 It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures
of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Dear Humanity,
I personally encourage everyone to emulate JESUS' values on LOVE, FAITH, HOPE
and CHARITY, as the humanity has been a failure; which resulted to the more than two (2) years of pandemic and its after-effects on economy, not only here in the Philippines but worldwide.
And the saddest part of it, is that, it affected the POOREST of the POOR to even extremely be more poorer, in exchange of the affluent to be more richer.
Thank you and may GOD bless you and the whole family to have an enjoyed life's journey at home, Church, schools/universities, corporate commitments, public and places of interest.
