August 2, 2009 Gospel Reading

Hello CDC! Thanks for the participation last saturday. I am happy that some of you were able to read the gospel and share their suggestions for the reflection song.

Here's the gospel for next week, 02 August 2009 - John 6:24-35.
Again, the reading speaks of bread - food. What kind of food is Jesus talking about?
Let me know! You can leave/post your comment anytime!

God Bless. Have a wonderful week!

July 26, 2009 Gospel Reading

Gospel reading for next Sunday is taken from the book of John 6:1-15. This is one of my favorite reading - Multiplication of bread. You still have to read the whole story in the Bible!
Main story goes like this. There was this large crowd following Jesus and He wanted to provide food for the people. And there was this boy who had two fish and five barley loaves of bread. Then Jesus took the bread and gave thanks. Guess what happened? Jesus and the apostles were able to feed five thousand men! More so, there were left overs. Twelve basketful of food! =)

Sambuhay front cover title reads: "Let the Banquet Begin!". Responsorial Psalm: "The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs."

Think, think... Think! =) Reflect. I hope everybody can help suggest our reflection song.
We would really appreciate it!

Have a blessed week and see you on Saturday! =)

P.S.
Thanks Carl for the suggestion yesterday - Pastorale.

July 19, 2009 Gospel Reading

Gospel Reading from (Mk 6:30-34)

The Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them.

When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

CDC, this is the gospel reading for next week. Please try to look for a reflection song that suits the gospel. For additional info, title of the "Sambuhay" front cover is "Lord, Shepherd Me". It also stated that this day could also be called the Good Shepherd Sunday. (Ang Panginoon, ang aking Pastol? Kuya Sam, maybe we could learn this song!?)

For the succeeding weeks, I'll just give the gospel verse and you guys can look it up in the bible.
If i have more time, i'll also give my insights or relay the reflection from the Sambuhay.

P.S.
We'll see you this friday, 8pm for our practice for the wedding.
Also, feel free to leave or post your comments here in our blog.

P.S.2
I promise to put more pics in our blog and maybe write some more.
Any volunteers to help us post articles/pics? Let me know.=)

July 12, 2009 Mass Line-up

Entrance: Come to the Table by Elim
Offertory: Take and Receive
Communion: Bread of Life
Reflection: Panalanging maging Bukas Palad
Recessional: Bayan, magsi-awit na!

Thanks to Joanna and Michael for giving suggestions for our reflection song. =)
Please don't be discourage if we didn't pick the song you suggested.
By the way, it gave me an idea. I'll be posting the Gospel Reading or verse (which you'd have to look and read from the Bible) and/or the first/second reading, Responsorial Psalm or maybe the reflection on the cover of the Sambuhay. This would help us prepare and choose the Reflection/Post-Communion song that fits or suits the gospel readings. In this way, we can help people participating in the mass reflect more. It would also help us understand God's word and be able to share it through our songs - (singing His song is twice praying!)

So, I hope everyone can participate in suggesting songs. If you can't find a song, maybe you could just share your insights about the Gospel reading. Please feel free to leave or post your comments!

God bless!

05 July 2009 Mass Song Line-up

Entrance : Pag-aalala

Offertory : Take and Receive by Himig Heswita

Communion : Bread of Life

Reflection : In Him Alone by Bukas Palad

Recessional : Bayan, Magsi-awit Na by Hangad

Gerald and Aries debut on guitars!

That's a start! Though you played the recessional song a bit fast! hahaha. Practice... practice...practice!

We really had this plan that you guys should be left alone sometimes.You're basically grown-ups now. We're sure that you can plan the mass song line-up, choose a reflection song that suits the gospel reading... practice on your own! Then, sing during mass without us!

Assignment next week: Pick a reflection song.

For Gerald and Aries, maybe play another song during mass?
