God is good, all the time God is good.

Dear Parishioners,

We are now entering Holy Week. It’s so good to hear, the people welcoming Jesus with some beautiful words of praises about him. A red carpet had been thrown in every step he made. And then after some time, these people were the same ones who have been shouting back crucify him. People with whom Jesus healed, fed, and have shown mercy and compassion. And instantly, they forget all of these goodness Jesus did for them. For this reason, he looked around when he was on the cross, and with sadness cried out, “forgive them, Father, for they did not know what they are doing.” Jesus, still appealed to his Father in heaven, to give mercy to these people who betrayed him and who denied him and who walked away from him when he was summoned by the authorities. Today, as we celebrate Palm Sunday, let the palm that we blessed and we keep in our homes to remind us to praise and thank the Lord. Not only at the time that we are blessed and happy, but even at the time that we are going through tribulations and trials in life. Let our voices professed, when we looked upon our Lord on the wooden cross. Jesus, I trust in you .

In Christ and Mary,

Fr. Rey Manahan
