Episode 49: Blessed by His Presence | The Word of the Lord with Fr. Rector
Father Rector shares his reflection on the Gospel [Luke 1.39-45] this Fourth Sunday of Advent, Year C. He mentioned: “In this story of Visitation, both Mary and Elizabeth, celebrate the kindness and fidelity of God to them and to all other God’s people.” He added the following significant points: “We see the significance of women in the story of salvation; Like Mary, we too are bearers of Good News; We can imitate how Mary brought the Good News to her cousin Elizabeth.” Lastly he mentioned, “the story of the Visitation should remind us that God wants to be constantly present with us and in our lives.”
Jaevie and Tessa Diga share what struck them in the Gospel. Tessa mentioned, “When Elizabeth Mary’s greeting her child leaped in her womb and exclaimed ‘Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb…’ This struck us because when Mary showed up, Elizabeth accepted her of her current situation with no judgement and most importantly even blessed her. We think that this is what we should all do with every individual who shows up at our door because everybody needed to be loved, accepted and be blessed.” Jaevie added, “It reminds us to show hospitality in any ways we can…”
When asked to share as to how they see God constantly at work in their lives, Jaevie mentioned, “We always feel his presence in our lives as a couple and as a family. Being gifted with children is an ordinary blessing from the Lord. Ever since we have joined the Couples for Christ (CFC), our family have been blessed with abundant of blessings such as gift of love, acceptance and belongingness.We know that the Lord is constantly at work in our lives by providing us our day to day needs and when we talk to him and pray, he answers all these prayers always and in very timely manner.”
Jaevie and Tessa also shared how they celebrate Christmas as a young family, namely: (1) spend more with our children…reminding them that it is the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ; (2) by sharing our blessings to the community; (3) making ourselves including our children available to serve the church.
Towards the end Father Rector expressed his gratitude to both Jaevie and Tessa for their assistance, generosity of self, time and talent to the cathedral church and to the community at large. Jaevie Diga leads one of the choirs and assist in the music ministry on a regular basis.
Watch and listen! Be inspired from the reflection and sharing of Jaevie and Tessa Diga, young couple in our parish, members of Couples for Christ.

Thank you Fr Rector and Vanya! Especially, about using charity as way to not be so judgmental of others
Amen
❤🙏
Amen 🙏 ✝️😇
Amen
I love this reading as it calls to mind my own pride and how it hurts me and thus, draws me away from God. When he talks about the child it encourages me as I work with "at risk" and "high risk" youth...... Parents, Teachers, Counselors and all Care Providers need to know His love towards children. And some days are harder than others! I will not deny this. But, i continue, through the teachings of Jesus and the Grace of the Holy Spirit, to persevere even during those days that are really hard and challenging! I will fail but i will have another day to get to do God's will and get it right. Please pray for all of us who work with the children and youth in our community
Truly an inspiration. The pureness and truth in the people’s answers. Jesus gave himself to save us, our Saviour and Redeemer.
Thank you Monsignor and Fr Rector! This was a good reflection for me! God Bless! The street interviews inspired me
Thank you Father for the good meaning and reflection of the gospel ❤
miss u nanay
Thank you both!
Thank you Fr Rector and Fr Alvin! I really enjoyed and appreciate this interaction! You are both very blessed as Priests and we owe you thanks for your sacrifices and teachings, as well as your dedication to the Magisterium of the Church. I love the idea of "intentional participation" and i continue to grow in this regard!
Thank you Fr Rector and Lenora and all! I am blessed to have the knowledge and teachings of the Saints that have helped me with this Gospel of our Lord and God. I do believe; I adore; I hope and I love Him, but these past Sunday Gospel readings remind me and challenge me to be more like the Apostles. (Paraphrasing), ... You Lord, have the words of eternal life. To whom would we go?
Thank you all!
