The Good Gift Receiver | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 9

In this season of gift-giving, let’s bear in mind that the best gift we can ever give to the world is being our best self- a man that aims to serve and not to be served.

Merry Christmas, our Feast family!

Kindness to the Unnoticed | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 8

“But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” (Luke 14:13-14)

No matter how small, an act of kindness never goes unnoticed.

Pray for One Another | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 7

No matter how much help we give, it will always be limited. Thankfully, our prayers are unlimited. As we continue with our acts of giving, let us couple it with acts of praying. Listen in to our guided Christmas meditation for the day.

“Father, help me be aware that not all people are celebrating. Some are hurting. Teach me to give the treasure of my sacrificial love in prayer for them that will truly give me a joyous Christmas.”

The Gift of Life | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 6

To be a feminist is good but to be a humanist is way better.

“Lord, thank You for the gift of my life. Help me to discern what my calling is in the realization that when I discover it, then I will have joy—and like at Christmas, bring joy to the world.”

Come, join us on our sixth day of guided Simbang Gabi meditation.

Mama Mary, Pray for Me | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 5

Jesus already knows the hardships that humanity will go through; hence, He gave us Mary who has survived and accepted the death of her Son. Beginning today, let us not see Mama Mary as a mythical figure but a heavenly mother and a prayer partner who journeys with us whether we are grieving or celebrating.

We’re now on our fifth day of guided Christmas meditation with Fr. Bob. Listen in and reflect with us.

Silence and Stillness| O Come Simbang Gabi Day 3

Christmas celebration today is a far cry from how the first Christmas went. No frills and no thrills. Just felicity amidst the simplicity.

Amidst the holiday rush, find time to give yourself the gift of silence. You lose nothing. Instead, you gain everything. Come, join us on our third day of guided Simbang Gabi meditation with Fr. Bob McConaghy.

Family and Forgiveness | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 2

“It’s easy to forgive but hard to forget.” This is our normal response whenever we remember how we have been wronged especially by a loved one. But forgiveness is not a choice but a command from the Lord. What should you do when you are finding it hard to forgive? PRAY.

Join us on our second day of guided Simbang Gabi meditation with Fr. Bob McConaghy. Offer your feelings of hatred to God in exchange for the courage to forgive wholeheartedly. Know that whatever you give to the Lord, He won’t be outdone in generosity.

When God Says No | O Come Simbang Gabi Day 1

Whenever we begin a novena, or particularly when we begin the Simbang Gabi, we have certain expectations, that if “I stick with this Simbang Gabi, all the way through to the end and don’t miss any, that I should have an expectation of something from God.”

Today, let’s dive deeper on how God answers prayers. As we begin this Simbang Gabi, ask the Heavenly Father to give you the grace to trust Him completely even though we might not understand the gift or the answers.
