  Fourth Sunday after Pentecost 2024 Mark 4,26-34 Rev. Neli Miranda   Jesus began his ministry in Galilee by proclaiming the good news of God, " The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent and believe in the good news" (1,15). Jesus did not explain what the Kingdom of God was, but surely his audience knew what he was announcing. For many centuries the people of Israel had suffered domination and oppression at the hands of their own kings and foreign kingdoms. So, the people’s longing for the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth arose amid suffering, under perverse human kingdoms. One can only imagine the people’s joyous rejoicing when Jesus made his announcement of the good news. . . the Kingdom of God was among them!! Today’s gospel presents us with two parables that speak of the Kingdom of God. Parables, a traditional method of teaching in Jesus’ time, are not explanations but a way to provoke the listeners’ thinking, so that they

  Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost 2023 Mattew 22,1-14 Rev. Neli Miranda   Today, Jesus continues in Jerusalem confronting the Jewish authorities publicly denouncing their corrupt practices.

Christ the King, 2023 Matthew 25,31-40 Rev. Neli Miranda Today we celebrate the last Sunday after Pentecost and with this celebration, we are closing a cycle in which we have lived our Christian spirituality for a year. Our spiritual pilgrimage started last year in Advent Season when we prepared ourselves to receive God’s visitation in a newborn, baby Jesus born on Christmas Day.   That day, we joyfully joined the choir of angels to praise God for Jesus’ birth, saying “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased” (Luke 2,14). Then, we joined the shepherds who hurriedly went to Bethlehem where we found a singular, divine, human scene: Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.   What an extraordinary scene, the glory of God lying in a manger!               Later, on Epiphany Day, together with the magi who came from the East, we knelt down, paid homage to baby Jesus, and offered him our gifts. What a day when the Epiphany coming
